Hillary Clinton also claimed many times the 2016 election had been stolen from her, and that President Trump was an illegitimate President.

She conceded on the Wednesday morning and made a speech calling on her supporters to give Donald Trump “an open mind and the chance to lead."

Quite how much of a disaster he would turn out to be exceeded what pretty much everyone expected.

trumps lawyers think it's going badly for trump so are trying to keep him out of prison, by considering misdemeanor charges against trump instead of the 34 felonies he is now facing, which could spare him from a harsher sentence, according to an article on WSJ.

Hedge with a misdemeanor or go for broke of a dismisal

"With each of the 34 felony counts carrying a sentence of up to four years, trump theoretically could get what amounts to a life sentence," "Still, it would be less risky to ask the jury to consider misdemeanor charges, which because of New York merger rules would at most sentence the former president to two years in jail."

https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-big-decision-befo...

Is it within the defence's gift to just change the charges like that??

Na it was going to be this week, then Blanche decided (or was told by trump) to challenge Cohen more.

edit: Lol, Don Jnr claimed he was heading to trial tomorrow before it was all delayed, and if you're playing trump bingo, of ourse he claimed it was all a Dem plot to keep trump from campaigning...

In Cannes there's a biopic of trump going to be shown. Apparently the maga donor thought it would be a flattering portrayal of trump and the years being mentored by infamous right-wing lawyer Roy Cohn.

Instead it includes the scene of trump raping his first wife Ivana.

Why not sign up for

I was desperately hoping this was a windup, what with the chimp-standard page design and the reference to someone called Tump, but no, it's real on the trumpswag.com site.
You can also sign up for these great value items:
Make America Great Again: Walking MAGA guided tour of Donald Trump's current & former properties in Midtown Manhattan & Central Park. Citibike optional. (3 hours, $250+)

Keep America Great: All the above. Also includes Trump Family Style Meal in Trump Tower with your host. (5 Hours, $500+)

Save America: All the above. Also includes Chauffeured Limousine. Additional locations include Manhattan West Side, Queens & Brooklyn. (4-6 Hours, $1200+)

Trump '24K Gold: All the above. Includes Helicopter Tour of Trump Properties, NYC Skyline & Statue of Liberty. (5-8 Hours, $2000+)

How can a walking tour cost not just $250 but '$250+'? In fact all of these tours have the + sign after them, which is a neat way to fleece more bucks out of your marks. Add a 'Trump Style Family Meal' (for one) to your walk and that's another $250
And this about the boat trip, which is $99 (and apparently sold out despite the fact that you have to bring your own drinks):
'Q: What if boat cancels?
A: If MAGA Cruise cancels, or weather too bad to sail, 100% refund. We sail rain or shine.'
So that's no refund then.

trump again has lied about why he's got no supporters outside his trial, claiming it's Fort Knox and they ar ebeing kept away.

All lies again

Did the $420k reimbursement payments have anything to do with legal work you did for Trump or his family? (No ma'am.)

Q: Why wasn't there a retainer?
A: There was no legal work I was to be paid for, there was no representation agreement.
Q: Did the reimbursement have anything to do with a retainer agreement?
A:No ma'am.

mko9 cannot help but try and throw dirt to hide the fact that tRuMP is an appalling human being, convicted rapist, serial liar and philanderer and multiple times failed businessman.

But yay! Hilary Clinton once said she thought tRuMP would make a bad President.

Interesting testimony from Cohen on hiring Redfinch, because of a CNBC Poll about the most famous businessman "in like the last century"

trump was polling at the bottom and wanted to be number 1, so Redfinch were hired to raise trump into the top 10, so it was believable - fixing the results to stroke trumps ego

CNBC cancelled to poll because it was rigged, so trump didn't pay Redfinch the $50k, despite getting him to number 9. trump stiffed his contractors again.

Unfortunately, it's now sounding like Cohen stiffed Trump Org over this matter, placating Redfinch with $20k and then claiming (and receiving) the $50k that was originally billed.

This could hurt Cohen's credibility with the jury quite profoundly.

As vile as it may seem to most human beings I don't think "raping women" is going to put off his supporters. They know what he's like, they've known it since the Pussy tapes, they've known it since his comments about his daughter were made public, they've known it since it was reported that he walked into the Miss Universe changing rooms.

The man has as much class as skid marks on a week-old pair of underpants.

Incidentally, don jnr had 5 children with Vanessa, one is called donald john trump jnr 3

Don jr’s son will be called DJT lll, not DJT jr lll. That’s quite a common thing to do in the US. You could also say that Trump’s brother was Fred Trump lll given the fact that their grandfather was called Frederick. The rapper Eminem’s real name is Marshal Bruce Mathers lll. Crazy American men naming their eldest son after themselves. I don’t understand why they do it though.

Will it. thieves together?
He testified trump didn't want to pay them, admitted he stole the money because trump stiffed him on his bonus, and that he discussed this with both federal and state prosecutors. Learnt from the best?


Remember Rick Gates stole $3M from Manafort had a maga member on the jury, yet Manafort was still convicted, before Barr stepped in to interfere, then trump pardoned him

Pointed out
Bernard Kerik showed up at trump’s trial today. MSNBC called him a "former NYC police commissioner." as described by trumps campaign team. It failed to accurately describe Kerik as a “former NYC police commissioner convicted of tax fraud who spent three years in federal prison, later to be pardoned by trump.”

Judge Merchan cleared the court when Cohens former lawyer Robert Costello was called as first witness for the defence.

Costello was pushing the backchannel communication between Cohen, Giuliani, and Trump. Costello wanted to represent Cohen, but Cohen didn't trust him because he was acting for trump not Cohen, something he'd denied when questioned.

Prosecution objected, asked for a talk with the judge and Costello started complaining.

Reporters complaining they were kicked out of open court after Merchan admonished Costello, but trumps 'guests' were allowed to remain.
