Yesterday Trump said : The gag order is preventing me from Testifying *looks at lawyer* *lawyer nods head*

just moments ago:
Justice Merchan: Before we put the witness on the stand, I want to clarify to Mr. Trump that you have an absolute right to testify at trial. The order restricting extrajudicial statements does not limit what you can say from the stand. That's why it's called "extrajudicial" statement.

Another Tell that Hope Hicks is trying to get the Trump stain off of her

She refers to him as "Mr Trump"

Either it is an act (she is smart and cunning) or she really is going to throw him under the bus

Trump is going to be furious

Yesterday in the Judge gave a stern warning about gag order violation

Trump rants on tooth social this morning it is unfair his defense doesn't get advanced notice of witnesses due to his gag order violations

Rumors are Stormy Daniels is going to be a witness today 🥥 🥥

With Don ShiatsInPants in the courtroom I am surprised Stormy Daniels came.

🥁 🔔

is teaming up with to post full, searchable PDF transcripts of the NY criminal trial to its invaluable digital docket. (The courts have been posting them in an annoying one-page-at-a-time unsearchable format.)

Todd Blanche: We have been informed the People no longer intend to call Karen McDougal as a witness

Stormy Daniels must have done enough damage.

Next on Ghost hunters!

We search for the unexplained in the home of former porn star Stormy Daniels. Is it Ghosts? Aliens? Super natural? Her SUPER NATURALS?

...

Wait.. A Possum? CUT!

Prosecution estimates it will be able to rest it's case next week after next witnesses, which includes Michael Cohen, testifies

Also it seems the recent admonishment and gag order are starting to work because "Von ShiatsinPants" is scared of prison

must be awful for Trump to not attack the witnesses and defend himself without having to take an oath and testify

BREAKING: In a sidebar meeting, which we just received the transcript of, prosecutors say Michael Cohen will be their final witness in the Trump hush money trial.

Also more damming testimony from Cohen

Great moments preserved in Court records

Trump's Lawyer Todd Blanche is a "Crying little shit" according to Michael Cohen

That is a dumb lawyer move to allow a witness to insult you while on the stand, under oath

Defense rests in

Trump did not take the stand even after saying he would

Now both sides need to discuss jury instructions and closing arguments. Which will happen Monday

Dunn Dunn

Closing arguments today in

Prosecution four hours
Defense 2 and a half hours
Small rebuttal by Prosecution

Jury will not start deliberating until tomorrow at the soonest.

Bets on verdict before the week is over?

So far the closings arguments are:

Defense: every witness was lying because that is what i am being paid to say

Prosecution: here is the evidence that backs up the claims of witnesses. No one disputes that but the opinion of one defense witness

Also there is a poll in previous post

Justice Merchan planned to excuse the jurors for the day. He disappeared from the bench, and when he returned he announced that he had just received a note from the jurors at 4:20 pm. The note said: "We the jury have a verdict."

The jury has asked Judge Merchan for 30 minutes to complete the forms, and he is granting their request. He has also warned all assembled that no outbursts will be tolerated upon the reading of the verdict

Trump's sentencing will be on July 11, four days before the July 15 Republican National Convention to choose the Republican nominee for U.S. president.

Trumps lawyer finally files a premotion letter in New York requesting Justice Merchan terminate Trumps gag order, arguing the bases, which related to the trial, no longer exist.

ignoring the fact Trump might have violated it one more time by attacking Cohen over the weekend, or statements could be used against Trump for Sentencing, or they plan to appeal

@Kinnison I once harbored a hope that she was actually an undercover operative. She would be the perfect type to slip into :Asshat: 's sphere.

@Superstitionsee The problem with a Trump Honeypot scam, is in order to get to his inner circle you have to be willing to carry out crimes and lie for him, while shoveling praises and gobs of money in his direction.

@Kinnison

Given the current confab with the judge, and the defense desperately wanting TFG to be able to disparage Stormy on social media, and the judge not having any of that argument, I wonder if KMcD got threats and has declined to appear.

@waywardflf

KMcD has been under constant threats. The Prosecution used Trumps own words from his recent book about how he punishes disloyalty in spades. She isn't necessary except to establish a history of suppressing news of Trumps adultery

Ms Daniels did an amazing job on the witness stand. Just an amazing woman, who is smart, articulate, and has a keen business sense.

She is Trump's kryptonite

@Kinnison So say we all. and what a bunch of maroons the defense team is. I enjoyed the judge tearing the defense a new one.

Do lawyers who "do" Trump really think there's life--or money-- post debacle? I trust that the defense is getting monthly checks, rather than "I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a trial burger today."

@Kinnison

Which is honestly mind boggling. Bc as he's working out the daniels payment/reimbursement to himself, he's holding pecker off from being paid his reimbursement for buying & burning the mcdougal story.

Everyone who works for trump is a terrible, terrible person.

@Kinnison Ugh if we get a Hung Jury magats and :Asshat: will be insufferable...I'll have to unplug for a week or so.

@Kinnison

His defense is not getting advance notice of next-day witnesses because it is a COURTESY between counsel, and Trump poisoned that well of cordiality himself. Fool. 🤬

@Kinnison

EXCELLENT.

But I'm going to hold off celebrating until I find out the consequences.
