New York hush-money trial still on course for 15 April start but ruling in classified documents case has prosecutors concerned
Donald Trump faced mounting trouble this week in his legal universe, with judges overseeing two of Trump’s legal cases refusing to accept his attempts to delay and toss the prosecution – and the former president doubling down on efforts to discredit his opponents.
The judge overseeing Trump’s criminal trial in New York expanded a gag order on Monday, which had originally banned Donald Trump from making public statements about court staff, trial witnesses or the families of any counsel or staff member on the case. The narrower gag order did not prohibit Trump from making statements about family members of the judge, and after Judge Juan Merchan issued it, the former president took to social media to attack the judge’s daughter.
“His Daughter,” wrote Trump on the social media platform Truth Social, “is a Rabid Trump Hater,” identifying her by name.
The new gag order would now prevent him from making statements like that – but Trump’s abusive commentary about her, and others involved with his trial has probably already prompted threats and harassment.
Might be easier to actually nail him with something instead of having N ongoing trials, but I understand “courts take time for a reason.”
Just feels like it’s getting down to the wire with him.
The entire strategy is to give absolutely no excuse for an appeal. Not only do they not want an overturn on appeal but don’t want the added delay. It’s why they are allowing so much shit.
Just feels like it’s getting down to the wire with him.
Until it does and then they’ll move the goal post to give him special treatment and a cushy path out of trouble
He’ll never see any consequences for the plethora of crimes … Best we can hope for is for him to lose the election, another Jan 6th style event and then, hopefully, dementia will take over enough to move on to the next Republican lunatic
Honestly. The amount of shit that they are tolerating just to nail him is crazy
Imagine someone else not being able to make bail or threatening families.
No bail? Jail.
Threaten families? Jail right away
I think your thinking of the bond, which isn’t criminal. Without bond he doesn’t go to jail, the courts can just liquidate during the appeal if he didn’t post bond. (Which could be catastrophic to him if they start selling properties)
Admitting, on live television, to firing a Federal Investigator to avoid being investigated? Believe it or not, Jail.
They’re afraid of the ramifications of putting him in jail. I’m afraid of the ramifications of not…
At this point, I think we should call his and Magas bluff
What ramifications? Contempt of court, go to jail. They can appeal the contempt charges as they wish, how does that make any difference to the ongoing case? Dudes get fined or jailed on contempt for far less than this.
Are you familiar with who Donald Trump is or what his followers are known to do?
I’m familiar with “no one is above the law” and how that is ever-more being made a fucking joke by these people who don’t want to upset the fascists.
notice fuckface never has a bad word to say about that batshit insane ‘judge’ cannon. dont want to go around threatening your own lapdog
Well, that’s understandable, as that judge behaves like part of his defense team.
But speaking of bad words, he attacked pretty much every politician when he was in office, except for putin. You won’t find him saying anything bad about him.
Lock. Him. Up.
Often in Mafia trials there is one or more people that collaborate with justice. The family has to be protected and secured because otherwise Mafia would kill them.
I am saying this for no particular reason except for informing on the degenerate tactics of the Mafia
Democrats when you want the bodily autonomy to put what drugs you want in your own body: “Time to die by execution by cop mother fuckers!”
Democrats when you attempt a insurrection: “hey special guy, are you allergic to these padded kid gloves we warmed up for ya?”
What?
Single issue voter being pissy
Maybe, but if so, which issue? I truly couldn’t follow the train of thought.
I think it’s about drug legalization.
far out, man
I’ve read it a few times and am no closer to figuring out what that guy is implying. Then again, if his voters had a multiple-digit IQ they wouldn’t be voting for him.
It’s seems fairly clear to me. Let me see if I can translate.
"Democrats are fine with harsh punishments for minor drug offenses, up to and including death by cop
Also, Democrats treat MAGA insurrectionists with kid gloves"
Okay. But neither is true, so . . . what?
Somebody left a computer unlocked in the dementia ward lol
If we staple a wind turbine to his face we’ll have an unlimited source of energy, what with all the “blows” he gets from his legal bullshit.
Not consequences, mind you; just blows.
