DJT indicted on four counts related to January 6

I’ve heard that lawyers make terrible witnesses because they want to do what Fanni Willis did here. They can’t shut up. But in this case it might prove highly effective. she wasn’t going to be boxed in and have the defense attorney drive their narrative away from the crimes.

Trump is all about winning the PR wars. But her statements are already dominating social media. I think he lost the PR battle today.

Willis is going to be disqualified from the case and possibly face ethics charges on top of that, She's toast.

Yes, Willis insisted on answering questions fully, giving nuance that Roman's lawyers did not want. And (I think) because it was a hearing and not a trial, McAfee mostly let her do it. McAfee wanted the nuance. Roman's lawyers have no good answers to the nuanced real answers.

Nuance???? Put down the crack pipe, please.

Willis today:
- Narcissist.
- Unhinged lunatic.
- Trashy talking.
- Dumb AF.
- Entitled.
- Raging.
- Toddler fit throwing.
- Total embarrassment.
- Cheating Adulterer.
- Using huge amounts of unreported cash.
- and on and on and on.

Willis should be disbarred.

Never thought about this:

this is a helpful recap for Trumpers crying foul that Trump is finally facing legal peril now.

“Trump facing a criminal trial on March 25 is significant. To understand, review the bidding.
First, before Trump was President, he hid his payments (the hush money) to avoid a criminal indictment then.
Second, he then became President, and said he couldn’t be indicted for his past crimes like the hush money while in office.
Third, he then committed more serious crimes in office (the Mueller report lists 10), and he said he couldn’t be prosecuted for his crimes as a sitting President while in office.
Fourth, he then got voted out of office, and so committed even more crimes to try to stay in office (the Jan. 6 charges, some of the most significant charges in the book), and said he couldn’t be prosecuted for them while he was still President.
Fifth, b/c he couldn't be prosecuted, Congress impeached him and he said he couldn’t be impeached because the only remedy was to prosecute him after he leaves office, not to impeach him.
Sixth, he then leaves office and he’s prosecuted (as per exactly what his lawyers said could happen to him), and he now says he can’t be prosecuted because he is absolutely immune from prosecution for acts while he was President.
Seventh, for crimes he committed when he was NOT President (like the New York ones), he is now saying he can’t be prosecuted for those either, b/c he’s he’s a candidate for President again (as his lawyer argued in court today).
And oh, eighth, he filed a brief in the US Supreme Court today saying because he was not impeached, he can't be convicted.”
What is this? What Constitution on earth would permit this?

It is funny how unaware Trumpers are that the charges they level at others are tailor made descriptions of their orange god-king. In fact, if you read the traits above who would you think Gary is describing?

But this brings up a bigger point. Why are we as a country holding everyone to such impeccably high moral and ethical standards while we give the former President a pass? The media has no problem with Trump slandering, intimidation, lying and threatening any and everyone related to these legal cases. He does it every single day!

Yet they spend weeks discussing the impropriety of two people having a consensual relationship. Trump’s immorality has been totally normalized and it makes no sense.

He is running for a position that arguably would require the most morality in the country.

While I am on this soapbox. Think about this:

All of us. You and I. The entire country. We all have laws, standards and norms that we must maintain in our families, communities and to keep our jobs.

Yet we allow this one person (Trump) to live outside of these requirements. We do it with no impunity. He can do whatever he wants. Say whatever he wants and conduct himself like the nations biggest Azzhole and he gets a pass because it’s just Trump being Trump.

How did we get here?

360+ million dollars in the civil fraud trial.

Bye bye, Trump Org. as we knew it.

Trump just got his ass handed to him.

So. Much. Winning.

NEW: Trump can't operate in New York for 3 years. The sons can't operate for 2 years. And the disgorgement is over $300M. More details soon...

Here is the Order:

It will take normal people a long time to wade through all that. The MAG@s can just get a Twitter "summary" and start crying about conspiracies and Deep State, etc.

Gonna be tough for Trump to get a NY loan for his appeal deposit.

We are now officially on Trump bankruptcy watch.

Trump better print more trading cards and red caps for his believers

WOW!!

Trump tumbles to 53,365,231 wealthiest on the Forbes list.

GREAT post! but a minor correction: Trump was not trying to avoid a criminal indictment then, he was committing a crime (filing false documents) in order to avoid his dirty laundry coming out just before the 2016 election.

Trump goes home DEVASTATED.

Wasn't he technically hiding these payments through Michael Cohen when these should have been documented campaign contribution expenses. And that is the crime? .

👋🏼

Maybe taking pot shots, slandering the judge and turning his courtroom into a circus with a parking lot attorney wasn’t the wisest legal strategy.

But what do I know? I have never Aced a cognitive test.
