More likely, he took his marbles and went to K Street lobbying firms to make millions.

What is the source for this? How does Jason Smith know this to be true? I tried to verify it with online searches and found nothing.

Karma Trump is said to be having difficulty finding a surety company to post the bond required to cover his appeal in the $83.3 million E. Gene Carroll case. That's because he used the powers of the presidency to shield himself from civil liability. That's how he managed to delay the Carroll...

And she's having fun doing it

Nancy Pelosi knew how to count votes before bringing a bill to the floor. That appears to be a skill Speaker Johnson has not yet developed.

It may be all over but the crying. The MSNBC lawyers I listen to (Katyal and Weissmann, because they usually turn out to be right) are predicting that the US Supreme Court will quickly deny Trump's request for a stay and it will not hear Trump's appeal. At present, Judge Chutkan has suspended...

There are no other words, unless you want to change the subject. The word today is the DC Court of Appeals dealt Trump a major defeat and a scathing, unanimous opinion that eviscerates the legal arguments Trump would take to the US Supreme Court, if they decide to take the case, and that's a big if.

1. The appeals court affirmed the Chutkan ruling and eviscerated all defenses offered by Trump. The Supreme Court will note this as they consider taking up this case or not. 2. The three-judge decision was unanimous. The panel includes one "staunch conservative" judge. Those conservative views...

Notice how he keeps losing on the legal questions while trying to get delays on procedural issues. His court date do eventually come. The Trump Organization tax fraud case eventually came and he lost. The two Carroll trials eventually came and he lost those too. Regarding his four criminal...

You're just repeating points previously made. I'm not interested in talking in circles. You have had your say, and so has the jury. End of story unless something new develops on appeal.

I saw that news item yesterday. I also saw Disney says they intend to continue the fight. I presume that means an appeal is coming.

Trump Seeks New Lawyers for Carroll Case Appeal This is actually a good thing for Trump to do. The TV lawyers I listen to say this is a good practice. When you appeal a ruling, you want different lawyers to represent you than those who represented you in the lower court. The new lawyers will...

True Dat!

From the evidence and testimony presented, I presume the jury came to know. The fact that you don't know does not mean the jury didn't. The fact that I'm not going to spend my time digging up old Trump quotes does not negate what the jury had available to them. The information you seek is in the...

People are free to see and interpret what they want. In a court of law, before a jury, with all evidence considered, and with Trump's attorney's having every opportunity to make their case, the jury found in Carroll's favor. Trump sexually assaulted Carroll. Trump repeatedly defamed Carroll...

Money Walls Closing In on Trump? With a jury ordering Trump to pay E. Gene Carroll $83.3 million in damages (on top of the $5 million in damages a previous jury awarded), and Trump vowing to appeal, the rules require Trump to post that amount in cash or bond to cover the appeal. The money is...

Trump Tax Return Leaker Gets 5 Years I agree with this sentence. The leaker had his reasons for doing what he did, but it was illegal. While I share his opinion that all presidential candidates should release their tax returns, and I share his concern over the decline of the middle class and...

Beware of Artificial Intelligence With AI now a thing, it seems all voters will need to be careful this election year about their information sources.

Yes we will know it was factual. That question was heard in a court of law and decided by a jury. It was that high because of the punitive damages. The bulk of that amount was not to compensate Carroll, but to punish Trump. The first verdict produce a $5 million damages number, and it included...
