Judge Warns Trump Criminal Trial May Last Until, Say, November 6
 
[...] "I'm just picking a date off the top of my head here," Judge Merchan said.  "It can be difficult to nail down a possible end date for any case, but if I had to make an educated guess, I'd say that this specific case will probably end on, oh, I don't know, November 6.  That's just an arbitrary date that popped into my mind and anything else happening around that time is purely coincidental."  [...]

A very clear explanation of the situation and the double standard.

BREAKING:  Alvin Bragg Seeks to Punish Trump for Violating an Unconstitutional Gag Order
 
[...] Joking aside, the serious problem here is that the order—and the attempt to enforce it—is unconstitutional election interference in violation of Trump's First Amendment rights.
 
To back up a little bit, we think it is common knowledge but we will say it anyway: 'Contempt of court' is just a fancy way of saying you are disobeying the court.  No court will punish you for merely feeling the emotion of contempt.  It's what you do that matters.  Thus, Bragg is saying that Trump violated a gag order, and should be punished for doing so.
 
Therefore, you want to start with the order itself, which we linked to, here:  [...]

N.Y. Gives Trump the Anne Boleyn Treatment
 
Jury selection is underway in the case of The People of the State of New York vs. Donald J. Trump, which alleges that the defendant lied to his own check register, and lied to the general ledger of his own company, when the invoice given to him by his lawyer was paid and recorded by someone else, and that the misstatement he made to himself in his own records was done "with the intent to defraud and intent to commit another crime and aid and conceal the commission thereof."  [...]

Trump Indicted For Taking More Chick-fil-A Sauces Than He Actually Needed For His Order
 
ATLANTA, GA — What began as a seemingly harmless visit to a local Chick-fil-A turned into a new legal quagmire for former President Donald Trump, as he was indicted today for taking more sauces than he actually needed for his order.

The news broke as Trump made headlines for his positive reception at the popular eatery, with customers and employees fawning over him as he ordered his food.  A spokesperson for the Department of Justice held a press briefing to announce the indictment.  [...]

Michael Cohen, star witness
 
[...] Here's a short version: 1) The core crime alleged, falsifying business records, is a misdemeanor.  2) To turn the misdemeanor into a felony, Bragg had to claim that Trump falsified records in the act of committing another crime — but Bragg has not charged Trump with any other crime.  3) Bragg "stacked" the charges to come up with 34 felony counts against Trump based on what was essentially one payoff.  4) Bragg’s effort to boost the case from misdemeanor to felony depends on a highly debatable reading of campaign finance law.  5) Bragg's star witness is, in the New York Times' words, "a disbarred lawyer who served prison time after pleading guilty to violating campaign finance laws, evading taxes, making false statements to a bank, and lying to Congress."
 
There's too much to go into here.  So this newsletter will just look at the last factor, the disbarred lawyer with the long rap sheet.  He is Michael Cohen, Trump's longtime lawyer/fixer who has now, after pandemic-related early release from prison, gone full time into the anti-Trump business. Start with the various reasons Cohen has been disbarred: [...]

But hey -- she's keeping her chief campaign promise!   

I am still waiting for how fat Alvin 'I won't prosecute you if you commit a crime with a gun if you don't fire it' Bragg is going to convince the jury that Cohen is telling the truth when his history is brought out.  Sure, it will be a politically biased Democrat jury which I guess will overlook it because....Trump.  I am amazed at the TDS some people possess even now, but I guess it is expected considering the mindset of some.  I suppose it is much better to have a career corrupt politician that made his fortune by selling his political influence in power since he is an insider, and that is the status these folks wish for themselves.  

HUGE:  Letitia James to Start Seizing Trump's Properties
 
[...] On April 1, Trump submitted a $175 million bond to prevent the seizure of his assets by New York Attorney General Letitia James during his appeal of a civil fraud ruling.  However, the court's filing system rejected the bond shortly afterward due to missing paperwork, including a "current financial statement."  James later questioned the adequacy of the bond and highlighted that Knight Specialty Insurance Company (KSIC), is not authorized in New York, rendering it ineligible to obtain a certificate of qualification from the Department of Financial Services.  KSIC has resubmitted its paperwork to restart the process.
 
Last month, pollster Frank Luntz warned Democrats that if New York Attorney General Letitia James seizes Trump's assets, it could significantly boost Trump's chances in the 2024 presidential election.  [...]

This, as we've exhaustively presented, is an understatement.

how many times have we heard and seen "immigration reform" (many times) and how many times has it ever solved a problem (none).
we have plenty of solutions to immigration reform - it's called existing law - enforce those laws would be a good start on "reform"

Don't these clowns have anything better to do?

Finally -- someone with a brain and sense!

Very interesting and sensible thoughts!

I am actually glad the Harvard President did not get ousted as it keeps the antisemitism story in these “elite” universities in the news cycle longer so more people can learn about it.  Also, it allows more and more folks a chance to uncover the complete hypocrisy of her specifically, and the Leftist academics in general.

Yes.
 
Any sensible leader would have given the terrorists a very short deadline to return all hostages in decent physical condition, and, if this deadline wasn't met, would have immediately leveled every structure in Gaza without regard to man or beast.  Simultaneously, a special and very hot gift would have been reserved for Tehran.

Nope definably in the 80's.  I was already a commissioned officer. I graduated high school in 79, and think I was commissioned in 84 I think it was lifted in 87.
