I don't think it is that Trump specific. If he was a partner or high-raking lawyer at that firm, it could very well be that he would not be permitted to represent any client that was not a client of that firm. He may not have left because his firm was worried about being blackballed. He may have...

Exactly! Paying a porn star to stay silent is not a crime. Lying about doing so on your business books is. We do not yet know what the charges will be because we have not yet seen the indictment. But it has been widely reported that the charges are likely to involve the falsification of...

No Wonder Trump's Legal Team is Chaotic TODAY? Trump hires a new lead counsel today to represent him at his arraignment? That gives him little time to prepare. I've seen it reported that Trump's legal team is fragmented and in chaos. I found that plausable because he ran his campaign the same...

Yes, an argument could be made for recusal, but it would be a weak argument. It is common for a judge to see the same defendant in court again and again and the defendant gets into additional trouble. I know of no judge that recuses themselves from the trial of a defendant because they presided...

There is the jury selection process to note. I have been on one jury and two jury pools, and have gone through this process. No one gets to serve on a jury that lawyers for BOTH the plaintiff and the defendant do not agree on. Lawyers skilled in jury selection interview prospective jurors at...

You may watch both types of news channels but you seem not to grasp some of the basic facts. If the statute of limitations applied, do you really think Trump would be traveling now to surrender for arrest?

No, I summed up your point of view and the filter you use to perceive reality. I have no doubt that you actually believe the things you write about the Democrats and Democratic party. But I also know you instantly and automatically assume the negative about the Democrats. And you paint...

How do you know that court is "completely partisan?"

With you, it does not matter what the questions is, does it? The answer is always the Democrats. Q. I'm planning a trip to the beach. Will today be sunny or cloudy? A. Pelosi and her unhinged cronies want to outlaw the beach and turn it over to the turtles. Q. My electrical bill is...

So, if Trump is found guilty, it's the venue's fault, right? He'd be innocent in a different zip code?

A riot at the US Capitol, incited at a precise day and time, with the intent to stop Congress from completing its constitutionally mandated election certification duties so that a president who lost his bid for re-election could remain in power is an insurrection.

We won't know that for sure until the indictment is unsealed on Tuesday. It is widely SPECULATED that there will be 33 counts relating to the 11 payments and one conspiracy count. I have no way to know if that is true and am not speculating about anything related to indictment content. If it...

Good point

Correct. The gag order would apply to Trump and his attorney's only since only they are under the judge's authority as the case proceeds. But I'm not sure a gag order would add fuel to the Republican fire. I think it would only change the flavor of the criticism. Even though on one in public has...

To people untethered from reality, that seems to be true. But THE REALITY is, this is a real case, being argued by real attorneys who are learned in the law, in a real court, with a real judge, who is making real rulings and making real things happen in the world as a result. Imaginary filters...

Gag Order? There is talk about the judge issuing a gag order when Trump is arraigned on Tuesday. ""I think it's not only a possibility, but it's extremely likely that there will be a gag order in the case," said [former senior staffer with the Manhattan District Attorney's Office] Levin, known...

That is exactly what they have been arguing in court. Those arguments failed and the case is proceeding to trial as a result.

Except for the insurrection clause, you are correct. A whole lot of people are wasting a whole lot of energy arguing that DOJ is trying to convict Trump to prevent him from being president. Even if they succeeded in convicting him, and even if Trump was sitting in a prison someplace, he could...

Trump is not wanting to dismantle the corrupt system. He wants to dilettante the Constitution and vest power in himself. He is not fighting to reform a corrupt system. He's fighting to avoid accountability under the law. I'm not saying the system is not corrupt. I think it is in many ways. The...
