#Politics Breaking from #FloridaToday: "Birther" Bill Posey (R-Rockledge) says he won't run for re-election in November. Posey endorsed Mike Haridopolos, who's about as MAGA as Posey.
#Politics Another note from the #CNN #Trump thread ...
*****
Before leaving the bench, Judge Merchan reiterated that he signed the order to show cause regarding the prosecution's latest request to hold Trump in contempt for the four new violations of the gag order. It came after the prosecution filed a motion and argued in court that Trump violated the gag order four more times over the past few days.
There will be a hearing next Wednesday at 2:15 p.m. ET about that, he said.
#Politics Reading through the #CNN thread of events at today's New York #Trump trial, I noticed this:
*****
Judge Juan Merchan said he signed the order to show cause regarding four new violations of a gag order for former President Donald Trump.
He signed the order to show cause from the district attorney for the first 10 violations, too.
This means he will hear the additional four violations they have now added. He hasn't made a decision yet or held Trump in contempt.
#Politics #Arizona By the way, just because #Trump is "unindicted coconspirator 1" right now doesn't mean he can't be indicted later. The grand jury is still sifting through the evidence. It's entirely possible that one of the seven indicted DC defendants could flip and provide the evidence to indict him. They haven't so far, but I'm just pointing out not to give up on his indictment just yet.
#Politics Idle thought ... Will #Arizona Republicans attempt to recall Democratic attorney general Kris Mayes as retaliation for her bringing indictments against their fraudulent electors? She won by only 280 votes.
They could probably collect enough signatures to qualify a recall for the ballot, just to create a distraction during the trial.
Just my speculation, but I'd say to stay tuned. It would be typical Republican bully behavior.
#Politics #Arizona BREAKING from #WaPo ... These would seem to be the redacted seven.
"Those indicted include former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, attorneys Rudy Giuliani, Jenna Ellis, John Eastman and Christina Bobb, top campaign adviser Boris Epshteyn and former campaign aide Mike Roman."
#Politics From page 13 of the #Arizona attorney general PDF:
"Unwilling to accept this fact, Defendants and unindicted coconspirators schemed to prevent the lawful transfer of the presidency to keep Unindicted Coconspirator 1 in office against the will of Arizona's voters. This scheme would have deprived Arizona voters of their right to vote and have their votes counted."
#Politics Wow, reading through the #Arizona attorney general PDF, #Trump is listed as "Unindicted Coconspirator 1" on page 14!
