Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney
Two interesting notes from the transcript of the sidebar that began Tuesday's session, which I haven't seen mentioned anywhere else. First, the witness that the prosecution had originally planned to call after Cohen was not, as I and others have speculated, their election law expert, but instead ano...

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney
as far as I have heard, we haven't seen a copy of the agreement signed by Donald Trump himself That is correct. Here is the copy of the agreement that was entered into evidence, with a signature line for "DD" (aka Trump) but no signature. https://pdfs.nycourts.gov/PeopleVs.DTrump-71543/Ev...

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney
Ah, thanks for that correction. I thought the defense argument was, in part, that Michael Cohen did this on his own (and as far as I have heard, we haven't seen a copy of the agreement signed by Donald Trump himself) out of the goodness of his heart rather than at the direction of Trump and then Tr...

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney
To the best of my recollection, the defense has not argued that Trump had no knowledge of the agreement, just that he didn't reimburse Cohen (which is equally untrue). I went back and looked at Blanche's opening statement. He says: You'll hear that Ms. Clifford/Ms. Daniels, did, in fact, sign an NDA...

Re: The (no longer) much too early 2024 election thread
Reading Justice Jackson's dissent, I think what she really wanted was to allow the process to play out so that the African-American voters who challenged the original map could have that case fully resolved.

Re: The (no longer) much too early 2024 election thread
I see that the case is being appealed to SCOTUS. Mark Joseph Stern expects they'll restore the legislature's map for this year's election in accordance with the "Purcell principle" (which says maps shouldn't be changed too close to an election) but there's a good chance that next year the...

I wonder if the Democrats would have been so quick to save Johnson's Speakership if they knew he was going to be doing this.

Re: The (no longer) much too early 2024 election thread
This is a real Truth Social post from Trump, but I don't know whether this is actually a debate Biden has agreed to. I doubt it, and it will probably be the excuse for the other debates to get cancelled.

Re: The (no longer) much too early 2024 election thread
I was just coming to post about that. That came together fast! Has there ever been a presidential debate for the general election before either candidate was the official candidate of their party? This shows that both of them think that they can gain significant traction in debating the other one, a...

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney
From all accounts that I have seen, Cohen has continued to be measured and calm throughout the cross-examination so far. However, Blanche suggested at the end of the day that he had at least another full day of cross, so we'll see if he starts to get rattled. So far the cross seems to be very rambli...
