      Fear not, Merchan will find something...right?

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        Ha!

        Turley: "The prosecutors are continuing to raise federal election law violations as if they exist in Trump's payments. They do not, but the jury is being led to believe that there were such violations. Merchan has done nothing to counter that false suggestions. The DOJ did not even fine Trump for the payments and declined to bring any criminal charge. Many experts dismiss the claim of the violation."

          More Turley:

          “I am out of the courtroom. It was quite a morning to have someone admit to stealing money from his client and then confirm that he wants to run for Congress. It will be a novel campaign: people usually wait to get into Congress before they commit major felonies...“

            An official letter of "caution" was sent to the judge.

            The letter was received last summer.

              Defense rests without calling Trump up to testify. Likely a good move.

                  The fact that Trump didn't demand to take the stand might imply that his level of narcissistic imbalance is exaggerated.

                  Education is extremely important.

                      Between the stimulants that Biden needs and the sedation Trump could use, there might be a balance there.

                        @George-K 😂 Maybe in the spirit of bi-partisan, President Biden told President Trump to take whatever he needed of the sedates that President Biden already had. I am imagining a medical cabinet with two shelfs - one labeled "Joe's stuff" and the other shelf - "Don's stuff".

                            President Trump on why he did not testify in his trial.

                            “Because he made rulings that makes it very difficult to testify,” Trump said. “Anything I did, anything I did in the past they can bring everything up. And you know what, I’ve had a great past.”

                            LOL

                              He's not wrong.

                              There is no requirement for a defendant to testify at trial. The judge's obvious prejudice against the defense would be a shit-show.

                              OTOH, it might have caused more reversible errors on the part of the judge.

                              Explain how Stephanie Clifford's testimony about what Trump was wearing when she left the bathroom is relevant to a business fraud case.

                                  He’s just too humble to want to bring up anything that’s “great” in his past.

                                      @George-K , be careful with characterizing Trump as a multimillionaire; Trump has sued others for calling him a mere “millionaire.”

                                          @taiwan_girl said in The Trump "Hush Money" Trial starts today:

                                          @George-K Ronald Reagan?

                                          True.

                                          The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.
