Bragg is an election denier.

A ruling in the presidential immunity case before the Supreme Court could address not just the immediate controversy but also require expedited consideration and allow direct filings in the high court of appeals from criminal and civil cases involving current presidents and candidates for president. This would be a signal of the Court’s readiness to review the Trump case on an immediate basis.

Good point.

Was he on the Epstein flight manifesto?

Bragg is an election fixer but I know what you mean.

What happens if Soto rejects Trump’s appeal from NY and 5 other justices want it?

overseeing the booking of transaction within The Trump Organization is not a personal act. >> I recall that Trump did not do the GL classifying. He just had the checks and invoices scanned into the Trump org system. his accountants would have done the classifying. and as the checks were made out to Cohen they would naturally be legal payments. again no real law broken. For a large org scanning and classifying GL entries and reclassing is a day to day process.

You can go here for a copy of Merchan’s 55 pages of byzantine instructions to the jury that they were not allowed to have in the jury room which is very unusual. No one is talking about it but this raises a due process issue

https://www.nycourts.gov/LegacyPDFS/press/PDFs/People%20v.%20DJT%20Jury%20Instructions%20and%20Charges%20FINAL%205-23-24.pdf

They are so complex that even if the jury was made up of 12 jurists, rather than laymen, they would not be able to retain them from memory in deliberation.
It would require hundreds of trips to the courtroom to have Merchan read pieces back as they deliberate. I suspect the reason he would not let them have them was to put them in a he must have been guilty of something frame of mind rather than adhering to the notion of considering all the legal elements and proving all the elements beyond a reasonable doubt. And between the base offense and the three predicate offenses there are scores of legal elements they had to consider. By not giving them a copy, the constitutional issue is he was deprived of fair consideration

I wish this immunity case could solve the problem.

But Article I says that after removal from office POTUS is subject to indictment, trial, and punishment like an ordinary citizen.

True “removal” is used describing impeachment, but I presume Founders intent was “President only while President” - and I bet the Court sees it that way, too.

We’ll see.

If (WHEN!?) SCOTUS upends the left’s attacks on Trump the chorus of leftist demands for packing the court will be deafening. And the good news about the records case is that it’s being heard in Florida by what appears to be a FAIR judge.

There’s been speculation that it involves something wrong with how he adopted his children. But his children are adults now so that wouldn’t affect him now.

Of more serious note is the fact that John Brennan and James Clapper commissioned Dennis Montgomery to write software that would enable the supercomputer “The Hammer” to spy on just about everyone. Montgomery’s records show that Chief Justice Roberts, along with other justices, judges, politicians, media personalities, and Donald Trump, were among those targeted. Montgomery says that the purpose for the spying was to get bribery material. Part of the information collected involved financial data including passwords. So anything that involved the use of money is potential bribery material.

Yes, I’ve read that too.

Hopefully Judge Cannon can get to the bottom of that too.

Roberts may be a problem, he may be subject to blackmail over irregularities in the adoption of his two children.

Aren't his kids full grown adults by now? What can they do to him? Take away grown ups who no longer live with him?

See my post 2 above yours.

Brennan and Clapper have been collecting bribery material on all the judges for years, and it includes anything financial.
