I don't know. That's why I said 'maybe'.

And maybe then appealed.

I'll do the play-by-play. You can be the color(u)r commentator. Simply that you can come on here and say i'ts a Nothingburger and nobody says anything. If I came on here and said it's definitely NOT a Nothingburger, it would be tag team time.

Trump demands a new judge just days before the start of his hush-money criminal trial By The Associated Press Published April 6, 2024 at 12:10 AM EDT NEW YORK — Former President Donald Trump is demanding a new judge just days before his hush-money criminal trial is set to begin, rehashing longstanding grievances with the current judge in a long-shot, eleventh-hour bid to disrupt and delay the case. Trump's lawyers — echoing his recent social media complaints — urged Manhattan Judge Juan M. Merchan to step aside from the case, alleging bias and a conflict of interest because his daughter is a Democratic political consultant. The judge rejected a similar request last August. In court papers made public Friday, (NB see above post) Trump's lawyers said it is improper for Merchan "to preside over these proceedings while Ms. Merchan benefits, financially and reputationally, from the manner in which this case is interfering" with Trump's campaign as the presumptive Republican presidential nominee. https://www.weku.org/npr-news/2024-04-06/trump-demands-a-new-judge-just-days-before-the-start-of-his-hush-money-criminal-trial

The final call on whether the Knight bond sinks or swims will be up to New York Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron, who has set April 22 for a hearing on the matter. https://www.businessinsider.com/trump-175-million-appeal-bond-to-be-reviewed-ny-ag-2024-4 BTW Also from same source: Trump just got a huge 62% discount on his bond. That's extremely rare, legal experts say. Mar 26, 2024, 3:56 AM GMT+7 Neil Pedersen, the owner of the surety-bond agency Pedersen & Sons, told Business Insider that in his company's 30-year history, he and his employees had handled thousands of bonds. In that time, he's heard of only about a couple dozen instances when a New York appeals court reduced an appeal bond — and those involved far lower judgments.

I've already said all I'm going to say on the indictment.

I'm just going to say that there are 34 counts in the indictment all the same penal code charge and each count has its own guilty/not guilty verdict and potential penalty as you say.

Sure, But I was responding to Kuhn D. saying he hasn't memorized all the charges when all 34 charges are the same.

Not maybe. Is. https://manhattanda.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Donald-J.-Trump-Indictment.pdf

Jack Smith Laid a Trap for Trump’s Mar-a-Lago Judge. Cannon Didn’t Take It. Judge Aileen Cannon rejected Donald Trump’s request to drop the Mar-a-Lago trial. But she also denied prosecutors a legal avenue that would let them try to kick her off the case. Updated Apr. 04, 2024 4:15PM EDT Published Apr. 04, 2024 3:46PM EDT https://www.thedailybeast.com/jack-smith-laid-a-trap-for-trumps-mar-a-lago-judge-cannon-didnt-take-it?ref=home?ref=home The MAGA-friendly judge overseeing Donald Trump’s trial for hoarding classified documents at Mar-a-Lago has handed prosecutors a minor victory on Thursday. But she also refused to take the bait on a trap that could have very well led to her removal from the case. U.S. District Judge Aileen M. Cannon on Thursday rejected the former president’s bid to dismiss the entire case on the faulty premise that the Department of Justice had no right to turn a bureaucratic spat over presidential records into a criminal case. But perhaps more importantly, Cannon refused to go down a legal path that DOJ Special Counsel Jack Smith invited her to travel, with Cannon refusing to issue a separate court order on a related issue—a ruling that Smith could have formally appealed and potentially utilized to get Cannon knocked off the case.

OK.

No. Criminal trial. Prosecution cannot appeal.

Even as she ruled against Trump’s motion, Cannon’s three-page order also revealed her displeasure over Smith’s characterization of her order, suggesting this may not be the last such battle in the historic prosecution of a former president and the presumptive GOP presidential candidate. “What is surprising is just how quickly the judge herself has become the central focus of this case,” (Robert Mintz, a former federal prosecutor), said. “Turning the trial into a referendum on the judge may be effective from a public relations standpoint, but as a legal matter, it runs the risk of further politicizing the case and creating even more legal issues that could later backfire on the defense.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/04/04/cannon-trump-jack-smith-presidential-records-act/

In my 20 years full-time in Thailand my observation: When you go to a dental clinic, they want to give you a lecture. Why are you doing this and not that? You are doing everything wrong. That was not my original work so how can I repair it? When you go to a hospital dental department ( 2 different hospitals now), they do the work you requested and that's it.

Is Trump's $175 million civil fraud bond valid in New York? Updated on: April 4, 2024 / 4:18 PM EDT / CBS News New York Attorney General Letitia James indicated in a filing Thursday, after the original publication of this story, that she, too, has concerns about the bond. Trump attorney Christopher Kise on Thursday alleged James' filing was "another witch hunt" and accused her office of "hiding out in silence" after an appellate court reduced the defendants' bond from more than $464 million to $175 million. "The Attorney General now seeks to stir up some equally baseless public quarrel in a desperate effort to regain relevance," Kise said. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/donald-trump-175-million-civil-fraud-bond-valid-new-york/ Letitia James questions insurance company that helped Trump cover $175 million bond PUBLISHED: 20:11 BST, 4 April 2024 | UPDATED: 22:02 BST, 4 April 2024 James gave Trump's lawyers an additional 10 days to 'justify' the bond, as she seeks assurances that the firm is able to fulfil its obligation to back it up or pay if Trump defaults if he were to lose his court appeal.

Opinion - Trump’s threats to the rule of law continue By Jennifer Rubin April 3, 2024 at 12:00 p.m. EDT A reader asks: Can Judge Cannon order a directed verdict of acquittal in the documents case in the event Trump is convicted by a jury, and is there any recourse for special counsel Smith if she does? Answer: If she judges that the evidence is insufficient for a reasonable jury to convict, she can direct a verdict in the defendant’s favor. There is no appeal because any attempt to retry the defendant would constitute double jeopardy. This is one really good reason to seek her recusal. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/04/03/trump-courts-newsletter-undermine/
