Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney

I would say the short answer is maybe. Among the factors that the judge is supposed to consider is the level of remorse demonstrated by the defendant. Trump's railings certainly could be considered in assessing that factor. ETA: I hesitate to say this, but that is the primary reason why I have revis...

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney

I don't think it is a laughing matter, but of course your mileage may vary.

I would selfishly like it if this information was made public, but I understand why it would not be.

Re: War between Hamas and Israel

I have no idea who this person is or whether what they are saying is true, but I found it interesting enough to share here with the caveat that I have no idea who this person is or whether what they are saying is true.

Re: The (no longer) much too early 2024 election thread

To the best of my knowledge, they are not, and a significant percentage of donations made to a PAC supposedly supporting his election campaign is actually going to pay his legal bills.

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney

No. In fact, legally Bragg and Colangelo can't discuss specifics about the case while it is still active (which it is). This is all a show.

I thought about putting this in the 2024 election thread, but ultimately decided it should go here. Benjamin Wittes is editor in chief of Lawfare and a Senior Fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution.

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney

Trump made a deal with the publisher of the National Enquirer to squash any negative stories about him before the election. When the publisher of the National Enquirer refused to pay off a porn star who had sex with Trump, Trump's fixer paid her off as part of that conspiracy. Trump then reimbursed ...
