I mean, I'm off by a year sometimes wrt to my siblings, but 3 years is a bit much.  

I also picture somebody asking Donald, or even just Eric the name of this school where this special graduation is taking place.  And I picture, along with @Biff Tannen, Kramer being asked at the doctor's office about which clinic it is that he works at.

"I see, Mr. Trump...and what school is Barron's graduation taking place again?"

-Uh (adjusts pipe)...........that's correct, yes."

Are you saying that trump did not get an in kind campaign contribution from the national enquirer to kill the story and then use campaign funds to pay hush money to the pornstar he banged? We have a fucking check with his signature on it lol. 

What is there to be skeptical of here? That trump is the victim of a big ol mean conspiracy to UNFAIRLY prosecute him? 

No I am not. But that is a violation of federal election law that the statute of limitations passed on in about 2021-2022.  As a federal crime, it is a dead letter. 

Alvin Bragg and the state of New York have no jurisdiction to prosecute that offense except by ginning up this thing that incorporates, ostensibly,** a federal offense to raise a New York misdemeanor to a felony. 

**I say ostensibly because it is not yet precisely clear which "another crime" Bragg intends to rely upon to prove the felony level offense. 

If this were somehow a little guy being prosecuted this way, people would be up in arms.

And if my aunt had a dick she'd be my uncle. Trump is not a little guy. He is a historical fucking aberration. He abused the office of the president to hide his petty pornstar payoff fraud, of which he illegally had the story buried. 

I just don't understand the insistence on repeating the trumpco rhetoric of "just imagine this were happening to the little guy!" Trump. Is. Not. The. Little. Guy.

I applaud the gymnastics to get here and hope they succeed. But they are gymnastics that make this legally probably the weakest case against Trump of all of them (as opposed to factually). 

Trump going to prison on a trumped up charge is perfect.

So we're all agreed, since Barron is graduating on 17 May (a Friday when court is adjourned), we show up on this random M-Th weekday in April when Donald and Eric seem to think the graduation is taking place and we pull a good fashioned 90210 for Donna Martin.

"Let Barron Trump graduate!  Let Barron Trump graduate!  Let Barron Trump graduate!"  Then we all meet up at the Mar-a-Lago KEG house for beers afterwards.  Sound good?  

Steve Sanders could host!

No shit Sherlock. He should have been prosecuted straight up years ago like a lot of his cohort doing crimes in the Southern District of New York. 

Then we might not be so worried about all this shit.

So how much is it costing him to secure this bond with that account instead of just using the account to pay the bond? And why?

He can't, as a broad notion, secure with the account. He'd have to liquidate it and bring a cashiers check to the clerk of the court.  

The supersedeas bond or undertaking is cash in everything but name, in most jurisdictions.  The only thing Trump saves is taxes upon liquidation.  Really only delaying that, assuming the judgment is affirmed to the tune of 175M.

Don't know, but my twin brother got in a wreck with their lead singer back in the late 80s. It was Butthole Surfer guys fault and he didn't have insurance so he gave my brother a bunch of cash on the spot.

It was just a fender bender, but my asshole brother pocketed the $ and never got the bumper fixed.

Remember the problem wasn’t Trump’s collateral - it was Knights ability to pay if he stiffed them (which he will).

Actually, from the objection raised by James office, it was just KSLs ability to do insurance business of this nature in NY.  The rest of it seems to be overkill.

I thought Knight had to prove they were solvent and could pay the $175M on demand and not go out of business waiting for the collateral to be liquidated and turned over.

Uhm, no.

Being skeptical just means what I said: The more you want something to be true, the more careful you have to be when you examine the facts, because human nature is to see what we want to see. Pretty much all of us want Trump convicted, thrown into jail, stripped of his properties, and of course, defeated yet again in November. But this leads us to believe he's guilty of things even when, by the strict letter of the law, he might not be; it makes it look like he's getting away with crimes when, strictly, he's not.

That wasn't the actual objection. But part of the insurance accreditation/certification process is or would have been to show reserves and solvency sufficient to support the type of business they are doing. So I suppose that was implicit in the objection to the bond

Yes, they “went there”. Probably a good idea to use their opponent’s affair with porn star (and cheating on his third wife right after she gave birth to their son) to their advantage. Considering that’s something that up to this one particular person would have ended anyone else’s candidacy by itself.

whole thread from threadreaderapp: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1780104944164446396.html?utm_campaign=topunroll

Spoiler
BREAKING NEWS: Early signs suggest that Trump’s Monday night bond filing *may* have again misled the court. It says Hankey now has a security interest of $175M in “DJT Trust”—but Hankey’s Axos Bank *already* has a $100M interest in DJT Trust. Is Trump double-dipping? @KatiePhang
Image
Image
1/ Some wondered why Trump went to Hankey’s Knight rather than Hankey’s Axos. It certainly *could* be to swindle the court into thinking him having $175M secured with Hankey is sufficient, when it fact he likely needs at least *$275M* in that Trust to not be misleading the court. 
2/ And this is early research—Axos has lent to Trump multiple times, so we’ve no idea how many times he’s used DJT Trust as liquid collateral (including any double-dipping). We *do* know Trump has Bud Light stock in the Trust, which is why he now opposes his MAGAs’ boycott of it. 
3/ The documents I posted are from the website of the New York Attorney General, by the way. 
4/ We also need to know if Ivanka is now (or still) a trustee of DJT Trust, as Hankey’s Axos Bank *also* lends to her spousal unit—in the form of Jared—and so one wonders if any of Jared’s loan paperwork with Axos Bank includes Ivanka’s assets, which could be more double-dipping. 
5/ Is it possible that the Trump Schwab account known as the “DJT [Revocable] Trust” has the $275M *minimum* Trump needs to be in it? Uh...sure. But you certainly would *not* think it does from this 2023 financial disclosure. The math is not mathing, here.
6/ Here is the same document at the NYT. int.nyt.com/data/documentt…
7/ Okay, so this is looking very bad for Donald Trump. He says in his Monday night filing that the Schwab account has $175.3 million *in total*, so *if* Axos Bank is depending on that same account for a (semi-)liquid $100M in collateral on another loan, this bond filing is DOA.
Image
Image
8/ You’ve got to be kidding me. The collateral Trump says he gave Hankey a security interest in...

...is the same fund he used to pay off Stormy Daniels. So the use of *that very funding source* is the subject of a *criminal trial* right now.

Hard to keep up with this thread the last couple days. Have any of our criminal lawyer brethren opined on how this goes?

I’m betting there’s a sleeper maga juror, hung jury and it winds up n a mistrial where tfg walks. Because that’s how this timeline works.

Not a lawyer. And I didn’t stay at a Holiday Inn Express either… so take this for what it is.

Even if he’s convicted, the novel application of the New York law that would make the filing of false business reports a felony will likely be overturned on appeal.

He never gets more than a misdemeanor for this.

But he does spend 2 months in a courtroom instead of running for President. The optics of him sitting in a courtroom are also pretty shitty.

Will people care come November? My guess is also no b/c in 2024, the recent past means 30 minutes ago.

Are they extending the original 10-day extension/deadline every time there's an issue with the filing.  Or is he simply exposed without a bond at this point?  That order didn't stay the appeal outside of that now-expired ten-day extension, did it?  I haven't paid as close of attention to this lately.

Prosecutor: "Yes, Panel Member 45, do you think the defendant's notoriety in any way impacts your ability to view the facts of this case impartially?"

 

Panel Member 45: "I do not recognize the authority of a court that hangs the gold-fringed flag. A flag with gilded edges is the flag of an Admiralty court. An Admiralty court signifies a Naval court-martial. I cannot be court-martialed twice. that is all."

Fucker fell asleep again this AM: https://www.mediaite.com/trump/trump-fell-asleep-again-at-day-two-of-hush-money-trial/

Quote

Several reporters in attendance at former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial shared on the air and social media that for the second day in a row, Trump fell asleep in court.

CNN contributor Norm Eisen tweeted on Tuesday: “Trump is asleep again” at nearly 11:00 AM. And his account was corroborated by others on site. During an on air hit in the 10 a.m. hour, MSNBC’s Yasmin Vossoughian passed along contributor Lisa Rubin’s observation of Trump as having his eyes closed and “leaning to the left.”

Law360’s Frank G. Runyeon had a detailed play-by-play of Trump allegedly dozing off. On Twitter/X, he wrote: “Trump’s head slowly dropped, his eyes closed. It jerked back upward. He adjusts himself. Then, his head droops again. He straightens up, leaning back. His head [droops] for a third time, he shakes his shoulders. Eyes closed still. His head drops. Finally, he pops his eyes open.”
