Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney

The purpose of Franklin's testimony was to enter into evidence excerpts from Trump's books in which he make it clear that he closely tracks his business dealings, in order to forestall the expected argument that he was not responsible for the falsified business records. And then the prosecutors call...

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney

This piece by Quinta Jurecic and Tyler McBrien gets at some of what I was talking about regarding misconceptions about NY law. What Must Prosecutors Prove in Trump’s NY Trial? Oh, and Stormy Daniels is about to take the stand. ETA: Or not. After a debate about what Stormy Daniels can and can not tes...

My great-uncle (my mother's mother's brother) was a colleague of Jackson Pollock). He was a lovely man but his art left me mostly unmoved.

I could have eliminated some letters but I was pretty sure I knew all the possibilities. Of course it was the last one.

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney

Boring but damning testimony from former Trump Org Controller Jeffrey McConney. Based on Emil Bove's cross, it appears likely that Trump’s defense will be to pin it once again on Weiselberg. However so far as I am aware neither side plans to call him as a witness.

Re: Favorite artists - contribute!

Re: War between Hamas and Israel

Fortunately, filing a lawsuit (or claiming to do so) does not make it happen.

Re: Chaos in Congress

The rationale for statutes of limitations is pretty clear. It is a corollary to the truism "absolute power corrupts absolutely."

Meanwhile, this is an apt observation about the Cueller charges.

It's not really a vegan restaurant, either. It has a few vegan or vegetarian items but it is mostly meat items on the menu. https://www.google.com/search?gs_ssp=eJzj4tVP1zc0LM4yLU_Oy0o3YLRSNaiwsDAwSUsxTjQzNzBITk1KsgIKpRkbmlqkWhonWZiYJpkZeXGmFyVWKmSllpQAAGcTEvk&q=gray+jett&oq=gray+jett&gs...

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney

The judge will give jury instructions on the law to the jury before they begin deliberating. The lawyers will each provide proposed jury instructions and the judge will choose which versions to give.
