Re: Trump Charged With 37 counts of Espionage, Obstruction and related crimes

Judge Cannon finally ruled on the SCO's motion for reconsideration of her order requiring that they publicly reveal the names of witnesses and details about what they are expected to say. She largely granted the motion, while at the same time reaming the SCO and requiring a high standard from them t...

Re: Trump Indicted for Conspiring to Overturn the 2020 Election

This is another important point. Many of suggested that the Fischer case could eviscerate the case against Trump, but I have long believed that the obstruction counts against Trump would survive, even if they would not survive in the vast majority of 1/6 cases. https://twitter.com/RDEliason/status/1...

So much winning! (To be clear, this is different than the one that I posted yesterday. That one was related to his attempt to delay the case by trying to get a venue transfer.)

N.E.B. (or anyone else) can you confirm whether this is real? I'm having a hard time believing that it is.

Re: Trump Indicted for Conspiring to Overturn the 2020 Election

As several have pointed out, the most important part of the brief is the last part on pages 44-48, in which the SCO gives the court an "out" to rule that there is some immunity but still allow the trial to proceed without further delay. https://twitter.com/alegalnerd/status/177749032915303...

Re: Roe v Wade has been overturned. How do you feel about that?

I wonder if it hurts or helps Donald Trump that he's taking criticism from the right. My tentative opinion is that it hurts him. He needs all of the fanatic believers to vote for him to win, and if they are not convinced that he is one of them, some might not. It is hard for me to imagine even mode...

Re: Trump Indicted by Manhattan District Attorney

The judge said that since the parties could not agree on a summary, he would write his own. I am quite sure that the D.A. is happier with it than the Trump team.

Meanwhile, Trump is making a last-ditch effort to get the appellate court to delay the trial. That will fail, I'm sure.
