You're most welcome!
I'm speechless at the defense strategy of not presenting a case.
Re: link to posting like a pro.
I need that. Thank you!
Your regular posts on this trial have been excellent. Thanks for staying with it. I’m hoping this “no defense defense” isn’t some ploy to obtain a mistrial.
I saw that post and was going to reply that John Durham is DOJ and a DA for the southern district of Connecticut, not under operating under the IC.
So I went to look at Durham and found this;
“President Trump nominated Durhama DOJ attorney since 1982to be the U.S. Attorney in Connecticut back in 2017. Despite being a Trump appointee, Durham was recommended for the position by Connecticuts Democratic Senators Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy, who described Durham as having earned immense respect as a no-nonsense, fierce and fair prosecutor. He was unanimously confirmed by the Senate on a voice vote in early 2018.
Durham was first appointed as a special prosecutor by President Bill Clintons Attorney General Janet Reno in 1999 to investigate law enforcement corruption in Boston centered around the F.B.I.s treatment of notorious mobster James Whitey Bulger.” https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/doj-reveals-what-john-durham-will-be-doing-in-his-investigation-into-origins-of-russia-probe/
Apparently she’s still going to leave but I couldn’t figure out the when.
Totally crazy system. I thought ours was crazy. Theirs is way worse.
Could the defense attorney just be sick of the whole thing?
That's an interesting nugget. Especially with Mueller's history with Boston Crime.
Overall a mildly troubling history for Durham...
That was my response to reading this. Man, I hope Q returns soon.
Oh, please. And, the cough *was* left in the interview!
POTUS is a producer. He very well knew that cough business could be, would be, made by ABC into a mocking cough against the statement he had just made, therefore, Trump verbally is seen angling for a retake forthwith. POTUS was HOT. The translation of “hot” means “unnerved” in my book, by what the cough meant to ABC and its viewers, and it meant enough to get hot about it. That’s why one would think it might be the ABC cameraman, because it drew such a furious reaction from Trump, who won’t let them get away with anything if sabotaging his performance.
I agree with you. Better if POTUS had either ignored the cough, or shown some humor in addressing it. It really was no big deal except for POTUS making it a big deal by giving an overly hard scold to one of his own loyalists, Mulvaney. George leapt on the flare of temper, and included it in the ABC story, only because it was not.a.good.look.
That the dust-up made it into the final ABC production tells you straight up that the reaction was a delight for George, and ABC, and a further fury for the president, who wanted it Out, and a further public insult to Mike Mulvaney.
I was embarrassed for Mulvaney and winced that POTUS would blast his own over an uncontrollable cough and tell him to leave the room. Yikes! It was supposed to be edited out butmade the national news, instead. bastids.
It's probably designed to try to get a hung jury. There's no way there will be an acquittal. Agnifilo has made a half dozen or so motions for mistrial or dismissal.
Could be Raniere is setting up for an inevitable appeal. Lack of counsel? Dunno.
Agnifilo may be getting tired of it all, as Little J says. He might also be distracted due to his own legal troubles related to the indictment of Mark Geragos. Geragos' daughter, Teny, is on Raniere's team, along with former Albany prosecutor and all around sleazy defense attorney, DerOhannessian (pronounced "dare-Oh-Han-nexx-ee-an" - no kidding).
What I'm really expecting is some fireworks from the spin-off investigations in EDNY and NDNY, not to mention IRS, DHS, etc.
It’s a nothingburger. I guess that’s the best they can do.
Ooooh, why? Is it his birthday?
Cough was probably intentional to knock the interviewer off pace and interrupt his questions. Nothing more than that.
thanks much alli.

Poisoning the well they are.
Heavily Armed Muslim Marine Arrested Trying to Enter Offutt Air Force Base in Nebraska Threatened to Shoot up the Battalion
Probably not, but it was a “nothingburger” or should have bee, and the good news is that the viewer tracking reports that very few watched the ABC showing last night, in any case.
YEah but I’m surprised to see Fox News playing that game. I hope Fox & Friends didn’t have to present it.
A Muslim already on a 2016 Nebraska state Watch List, prior to acceptance into the MARINES, then acts like a terrorist??? WTH? Major face palm, for the USMC.
Who woulda thunk it?
