New Filing by Fani Willis In a new filing, filed 4:48pm 3/5/24, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis argues that Trump and his co-defendants have not met their burden of showing a disqualifying conflict of interest. (Source) As the judge gets close to making his ruling, I feel no pity...

He may yet pull a rabbit out of the hat to somehow post cash or bond, or otherwise avoid judgement enforcement. But time is short and getting shorter.

Who Will Get Trump's Plane First? Carroll or James? With the appeal windows soon closing in the NY fraud and Carroll defamation cases, and Trump unable to post cash or bond so far, and him begging the courts for a better deal but not getting them, lawyers for James and Carroll are poised to...

Conservative 11th Circuit Justices Kill DeSantis's Stop Woke Law This law, and the thinking behind it, was unconstitutional from the beginning. In their ruling, the three justices, including two Trump appointees, said: "This is not the first era in which Americans have held widely divergent...

If Trump wins the presidency, American democracy is over.

That's a disappointment. I viewed the opinions on the other side as valid and was hopeful the Supreme Court would agree. But they didn't, and that's the way it is. The ballot-disqualification question has been settled. The question could be revisited by Congress, or again by the Supreme Court at...

He literally makes stuff up as it suits him.

More Crimes From Trump's Fine People "The former chief financial officer of the Trump Organization [Allen Weisselberg] is expected to plead guilty to perjury charges on Monday ... "It will be the second guilty plea by Weisselberg, who in 2022 pleaded guilty to 15 counts of tax fraud ..."...

OK, MAGA People. It's Time to Rally Behind Lauren Boebert!!! A finer candidate there could not be! Let's go, MAGA, Lauren! Lauren! Lauren! https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/4504280-trump-endorses-boebert-a-trusted-america-first-fighter/

Perhaps so. I have not followed the Michigan GOP story closely. Looking today, it seems Trump supporters overwhelmingly elected Trump supporter Kristina Karamo as their state party chair months ago. Internal infighting and mismanagement developed, driving the party into debt, prompting a court...

That is incorrect.

He has zero chance because multiple factors are aligned against him, and it only takes one of them to eliminate him from the presidency. The trials are a factor. Disqualification is a factor. His false financial wherewithal and falsely perceived strength is a factor that could give way in an...

muttly's ignorant characterization aside, I agree with your point. No one knows what they don't know. Nevertheless, it seems to me Garland could have and should have appointed a special counsel earlier than he did. As you said, a whole lot of investigating was going on before Smith was...

Good News for Sedition Hunters; Bad News for Insurrectionists "House Republicans will no longer blur the faces of Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol rioters in security footage posted online, Speaker Mike Johnson announced Friday."...

It looks like someone might have spoken too soon.

As I expected, the DOJ 60 day rule will not apply in the Mar-a-Lago documents case, because the rule itself has included this exception for a long time; long before Trump was an item on the political radar. "An attorney with the special counsel Jack Smith's team told a judge Friday that holding...

I agree that Trump is a flight risk. His defection to Russia is a distinct possibility.

I don't think Trump will ever end up homeless and hungry on the street. Long before that happened, he'd stop paying his lawyers to delay court cases. Speedy trials would come and Trump would receive three hots and a cot in prison.

Trump's Financial Realities Trump has long bragged he is a billionaire many times over. Trump testified under oath less than a year ago that he had “substantially in excess of $400 million in cash.” Trump lawyer Alina Habba said that he is worth “billions and billions and billions of dollars”...

It has not looked good for Willis and Wade since news of their romance broke. Monumentally stupid for them to go down that road. Again, I'm not going to presume what the judge is thinking or how he will rule. We'll know soon enough
