The Hall of Fire

And we might be losing another one. The prosecutors report discovering that juror 4 might have lied in some of his responses and he was directed to appear at 9:15, and at 9:50 he still was not there.

Well, we are going backwards. One of the jurors decided that she can't be fair and impartial after all, and has been dismissed. So we are back to 6, and need 12 more.

Meanwhile Trump made another post that probably violated the gag order.

Because people in his party want to do things like this.

This "Sandoval" hearing might happen on Friday if jury selection concludes soon enough.

Presumably, he will need Democrats to support the bill for it to pass.

Last week, Speaker Mike Johnson told reporters that he would be transmitting the articles this week, but CNN now reports it will be next week. So that means at least 61 days after the House voted toi impeach, and more than twice as long as then-Speaker Pelosi held the articles for President Donald ...

Well, 3's are pretty cool too (sorry, Jude!).

Of all of the inane things that Alina Habba has said, this one might take the cake.



Where else would the Manhattan D.A. bring a case?

Well now!

Apparently the teacher is a young black woman. I would guess that she is also unaware of all the racist things Trump has done and said (not that that is relevant to this case).

I'm even more discouraged and disturbed that someone who teaches children could be so unaware of what is happening in the country that they would not know that Trump faces charges in 3 other cases.

On the other hand, it is fairly shocking to me that 2 of the first 7 jurors are lawyers.

This snippet about of the 7 jurors chosen so far is quite disturbing. The teacher said she has friends with strong opinions of Trump, but added that she's not very interested in politics or the news. "President Trump speaks his mind, and I'd rather that than someone who's in office who you don'...

Quite good progress, all things considered.



Meanwhile,

More fun to come? Or will the Democrats save Johnson.

That's because it is. Ford would not have had to offer a pardon, nor Nixon accept one, had Nixon been immune from prosecution. And, of course, Trump also faces charges from private, not just official acts, as his attorneys actually acknowledge elsewhere in the Reply Brief.

The judge declined to rule on the violations of the gag order, instead, setting a hearing for 4/24 on that issue. But of course, that will just encourage Trump to keep violating the gag order in the meanwhile.
