    It's a public trial. The judge overrode their objections. A gag order like this? Nope.

    There's no other way he'd get any GOP and media attention.
    Billy Boy has no where else to go trying to be relevant.
    Trump and his Trumper's despise the guy so he's trying to slither his way back into their graces.
    Barr is an"abomination", then and now.

    No. Look it up yourself. And quit insisting that other posters find documents for you as though that proves some point you're trying to make.

    'Potential jurors repeatedly say no one is above the law'


    'A common theme among potential jurors is that no one, including former president Donald Trump, is above the law.'

    “Everyone is equal under the law,” said one member of the panel. He explained that he is originally from Scandinavia, where there is less “difference between people in power and” regular citizens. “That is very important to me.”

    No sweat.
    Trump can send the jury cold McDonalds.

    Just now
    'Prospective juror has only one demand: Lunch'
    Return to menu

    'One potential juror, an executive for a global company, said she could serve on the jury and could be impartial, but she did have one request if she was chosen.

    “I’m good with the time, as long as we get to eat,” she said, to laughter from the others in the courtroom.

    The woman said she had been the victim of crimes but also noted, “I have several close friends who are felons.”

    She did not elaborate, but it’s possible lawyers could question her about that later in the day.'

    Donald Trump has a gag odrder because their are many sycophants that follow him and would do anythign he says. These jurors see this, they know this, and it could influence their decision making process.

    You guys are being obtuse on this gag order and you know it

    Trump's new arm-candy after booting Habbahabbahabba.


    Emil Bove

    [​IMG]
    'Trump’s lawyer Emil Bove disputed that Trump had violated the order, saying his “responses are political in nature.”

    “Cohen has been attacking President Trump,” Bove said. “Your honor said ... the order did not prohibit President Trump from responding to political attacks.”

    Bove also disputed that Trump reposting others' public comments violates the gag order.

    Merchan said they would discuss the issue further next Tuesday, when he has scheduled a hearing on the request to hold Trump in contempt.'

    Says the guy who has no access to the evidence, was not part of the Grand Jury that indicted Trump, does not have a law degree and has proven time and time again he doesn't understand the basic public facts about the case.

    Bragg is claiming Trump violated Federal campaign finance laws. Trump hasn't been charged, nor convicted. There's no evidence of a Federal crime.

    Actually he's got a female layer on his team. She's always there but doesn't partake in the spin cycle. She's got a very good reputation, even great.

    Despite some truth in the above, and whether he meant it or not, I'm fully on board with what he said about the Alvin Bragg trial. It is an abomination.

    What's a state prosecutor doing prosecuting federal crimes?

    He’s not. Trumpers are willfully ignorant about this and they’ve been advised numerous times that this isn’t true.

    That's Cohen, not Trump. It's impossible to charge Trump with an excessive campaign contribution.

    He's claiming the underlying felony is Federal campaign finance violations. That's exactly what he's trying to do.

    This is a fake outrage!! I am very pretend furious!

    Bill, read the federal court order remanding the matter back to state court. The court gives a very clear lay out of what the case is about. DO IT!!
