Trump's Court-Orderd Obligations Here's a list of the money Trump has been ordered by various courts to pay. While significant, the amount of interest owed to date and continuing to accrue is not included. One example of pre-judgement interest due is $99 million included in the Engoron order...

Another Trump Day of Reckoning It's going to take the news organizations a bit of time to digest and fully bullet-point the ruling Judge Engoron issued today. Short story: Trump lost big. Virtually all of the political arguments Trump made in court did not work. Virtually all of the legal...

Trump's $4 billion stake in DEAC now being discussed is not $4 billion in ready cash. It is in shares of the company at today's market value. In new shares like this, it is common that the principle's shares are restricted. They own them but can do nothing with them for a year or two. But the...

That would be different then. It would remain to be seen if the expense was deducted and if it was allowed. Business entertainment expense is an allowable tax deduction. Hard to now how this will play out until more is known. The qualification question is open. His management of things during...

Thinking About Trump's Legal Expenses It has gotten busy for Trump in several courts at once. His legal expense meter must be spinning faster than the fuel pump when diesel is selling at $10 a gallon. He may have reached the point where the money is flowing out faster than it is flowing in. And...

I'm leaning that way myself. But even if this skilled RICO prosecutor is allowed to remain on the case, her monumental romantic blunders greatly diminish her public status and they will absolutely be an issue in her upcoming run for reelection. In the domain of romance, Willis was dumb as a box...

The cash transactions did not trouble me a bit. At the time, they were in a relationship. One partner repaying the other half with cash for expenses initially paid by one is no big deal. There are people out there who routinely keep and carry large amounts of cash. When my wife and I were...

Damn You, Fani Willis I glimpsed into the Fulton County evidentiary hearing today, and quickly glimpsed away. Willis's professional misconduct, has turned a courtroom today into an episode of the Jerry Springer Show. It remains to be seen if legal points where made sufficient to have her...

I think so too. It seems to me she is doing everything she can to help Trump while avoiding an appeal that has the potential of getting her tossed off the case.

The Carroll trials proceeded over Trump's objections. The NY civil fraud trial proceeded over Trump's objections. Now the criminal trials are beginning to happen. Trump has been good at delaying trials, but as he runs out of legal tricks, the trials draw close. If he really wanted to delay the...

I don't know. To answer that, we'd have to know if the complaint they filed and allegations they made were done under oath. Either way, it's now clear they lied, and they knew they were lying as they spoke.

"Sources say" is quite different than the conservative group "True the Vote" telling a judge under oath that the evidence of illegal ballot stuffing they claimed to have does not exist. They were lying all along and now they admit it under oath. As Ragman says, this is indeed part of the Big...

A Republican Misstep of National Importance In seemingly every special election for a US House or Senate seat, the talking heads on TV like to talk about what that election means for the nation and upcoming general elections. But a special election is just that, a special election in a single...

Florida abortion-rights activism and progress toward getting this getting this on the ballot say otherwise.

It is a swing district in a blue state. It went red last election. Last time, the Democrats lost the election because they fumbled the cash-bail ball. This time, the Republicans lost the election because they fumbled the immigration ball, and because they were out of step with voters on...

What's Wrong With the Republican Party? Their Immigration Blunders. If yesterday's special election in NY-03 US House race is any indication, what's wrong with the Republican Party is the Republicans' major blunder on immigration. With immigration, and by following Trump's lead, House...

In case you did not notice, the Republicans LOST NY-03. Trump had little to do with this race. The Republicans lost it all on their own. Having Trump involved in local races or on the ballot when local races are also on the ballot will not change the fact that the Republicans are out of step...

Quote of the Night As news breaks that the Democrats flipped the NY-03 US House seat today in a special election, GOP Rep. Troy Nehls (TX) reacted. “'Until Republicans learn they need to get into the slop with the pigs we will continue to lose elections. We should have never brought the...
