Elections 2024 / Re: Trump Endorses Freedom Caucus Chairman’s Primary Opponent
« Last post by collins on Today at 12:03:11 am »
Liz Cheney (barf). I don't see why she doesn't just turn into a Democrat officially, she's always endorsing the democrat. She is mad at the entire GOP because of Trump.

All those three other people mentioned upthread endorsed DeSantis, and Trump is being beyond childish if he can't forgive them for that. He really didn't invent MAGA, the Tea Party was the early version of MAGA. Somebody who has to have his ass kissed all the time is really vulnerable to flattery, not a good trait for a politician. Trump should be pretty easy to manipulate...

Elections 2024 / Rubio would shed Florida residency to be Trump’s vice president: Report

Rubio would shed Florida residency to be Trump’s vice president: Report

.

One of former President Donald Trump‘s vice presidential candidates is reportedly willing to go to considerable lengths to be selected.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) said he would change his Florida residency in order to be former Trump’s vice president, according to the New York Times.

The decision would be in response to a constitutional conflict in which a president and vice president on the same ticket cannot share the same state of residency, or they may lose that state’s electoral votes. In Florida’s case, it’d be a critical 30.

Trump, who is also a resident of Florida, reportedly said he would not change his residency because Floridians would not want to see him leave. Earlier this month, Rubio’s office said the senator had not spoken about the topic with anyone from Trump’s campaign.

While Rubio could be the former president’s choice, others such as Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH), Ben Carson, and Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) have been floated too. Rubio captured thousands more votes in his Senate race in 2016 than Trump did in the presidential race, leaving Trump to wonder how and reportedly piquing his interest in the senator.

Steinglass closes: “In the interest of justice for the people of the State of New York, I ask that you find the defendant guilty.”

Merchan says he will give the jury instructions tomorrow, not tonight. Tells them we will come in at 10am tomorrow as we worked late tonight.

Steinglass says that while the defendant has a right to a trial, the evidence is overwhelming. The defendant has now had his day in court. You cannot treat Donald Trump different from other potential defendants.

Donald Trump cannot shoot someone on 5th avenue and get alway with it. Objection by Blanche. Merchan sustains.

My note: Let’s see if Merchan dresses down Steinglass for that comment the way he did Blanche earlier this morning.

Andy McCarthy inside court: Prosecution used 5 hours to 'dizzy' jury

Basically, we have spent 5 hours here so the prosecutors could dizzy the jury into believing there are oceans of evidence. As it washes over the listener hour after hour, you easily miss that there is no evidence of Trump’s participation in a crime. Participation in burying damaging information, sure. But not of a crime that Trump and others aged to commit.

Bragg’s hope is that by bludgeoning the jury with waves and waves of evidence, no one will notice that it is not evidence of crimes — prosecutors figure they fill that void with Cohen’s guilty plea, which Merchan has allowed them to use as if it were admissible evidence against Trump, which it’s not.

Blanche again objects, Merchan sustains and sharply tells Steinglass that he will explain the law. Blanche asks if they can approach the bench, Merchan denies and Steinglass continues.

ADA Steinglass says that President Trump personally signed the false DJT check on his own, so this is a no brainer in this case.

As for the intent to defraud and while we can’t get in the defendant’s mind, jury’s determine intent all the time.

Blanche objects twice, Merchan sustains twice and says to Steinglass that he will instruct the jury on the law and the evidence.

Steinglass makes another joke about whenever this summation finally ends, but this time does not get any smiles or laughs from the jury.

Jonathan Turley inside court: Prosecution scored 'some good points' but judge 'made the difference'

Going late is still a better option for the defense. The worst case scenario was to allow the prosecution to give an hour closing just before they are instructed by the court and sent into deliberations in the morning. Right now, the jury is likely in overload and tired....The government likely went too long for that reason.

Steinglass did score some good points. However, it was the judge more than the evidence or the prosecutor that has made the difference today. Steinglass has been allowed to virtually testify while making repeated improper arguments. Merchan has done little and what he did was too late. As we have seen in prior weeks, he finally sustained objections only after the damage was done. Judge allowed Steinglass to make highly improper arguments and then would offer the judicial equivalent of a tsk, tsk.

Cohen had '130,000' reasons to get Trump's blessing before paying Daniels: DA
By Ben Kochman

Prosecutor Joshua Steinglass is now drawing jurors' attention to Cohen's testimony that he asked for Trump's blessing before paying Stormy Daniels $130,000 in hush money before the 2016 election.

Cohen, who has admitted being financially motivated and confessed to stealing from Trump's business, testified that he would have only agreed to front the money had Trump promised to repay him.

"Cohen had 130,000 reasons to get the defendant’s blessing," Steinglass said.
