ozimoron Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 1 hour ago, jerrymahoney said: The chance that she got both Trump cases from the article: Still, the odds of an indictment being randomly assigned to Judge Cannon were low. There are 15 active Federal District Court judges in South Florida, along with 11 on senior status who are still assigned to hear cases but at a reduced workload. Ms. Noble did not immediately respond to an email seeking clarification of what happened. So she won 2 separate 1 in 15 random judge rump case assignments. The NYTimes article is questioning maybe they weren't so random. I think she got it because it was regarded as a continuation of the same case after the special master debacle. She was admonished by the appeals court so she'd be on thin ice. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sliver of hope is if many more competitors join in the Christy, Asa and Cheney position. Not at all likely but stranger things have happened.

Yet when it comes to this case, even he thinks it looks very, very bad for Trump. It could be a bit of a turning point. I haven't before seen as many Trump supporters turn away from him as in the past days and weeks. When looking at the people who still try to argue in favor of him in this thread the arguments they present are so far out there ("were just personal letters to Kim Jong Un", "the FBI planted things", "he declassified documents so it's totally fine to have plans of a secret nuclear program lying around a place where thousands of random people go in and out") plus the severity of the matter being so high that I notice former Trump supporters seeing the end of the road at last. The risk for the republican party to support him is growing over time as the stakes are getting raised and things escalate more and more into extremes. I'm just an outside observer and support neither democrats nor republicans but imho the republicans would be wise to drop him at this point and regroup behind someone less extreme. They should have enough good policies to rally people behind instead of playing this dangerous game of escalating tensions in the foundations of society. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

placeholder Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 More evidence of Trump's wise decision making: Donald Trump Just Got Dumped by His Lawyer Again Donald Trump is bleeding lawyers as quickly as he needs them, with Jim Trusty—once representing the former president in both his criminal documents case and a defamation lawsuit—motioning to end his relationship with Trump altogether on Friday. Trusty wrote in a motion that he was dropping Trump as a client in his defamation suit against CNN because of “irreconcilable differences” that made it impossible for him to “effectively and properly represent” him. https://www.thedailybeast.com/donald-trump-just-got-dumped-by-his-lawyer-jim-trusty-again 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ThailandRyan Posted June 18, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 18, 2023 He keeps on attacking Jack Smith and deflecting. Wasn't he ordered to cease and desist, or did I miss him being able to attack the defense and witnesses. Trump Drops New Video Attacking Prosecutor Who Got Him Arrested — With 16 Second Rant About Biden Probe (msn.com) The former president is reported to be extremely worried following his arrest and arraignment on 37 counts related to violations of the Espionage Act, the product of an investigation spearheaded by Smith. If convicted, he faces what amounts to a life sentence. Trump has consistently tried to accuse Biden of “having me arrested,” but fact-checkers and other journalists have just as consistently pointed out that the Justice Department and Smith are independent of the White House. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DOJ seeks protective order to prevent Trump from releasing classified materials amid ongoing investigation The suggested protective order, which will be reviewed by Judge Bruce Reinhart, would allow Trump to review the 31 documents the DOJ is using in the case only while in the presence of his attorneys. “Defendants shall only have access to Discovery Materials under the direct supervision of Defense Counsel or a member of Defense Counsel’s staff. Defendants shall not retain copies of Discovery Material. Defendants may take notes regarding Discovery Materials, but such notes shall be stored securely by Defense Counsel,” the DOJ wrote.https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4054194-justice-files-for-protective-order-to-prevent-trump-from-releasing-classified-materials/ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThailandRyan Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 The far right are still in a state of denial as far as things go. Just watched a video interview with a reporter who was in the court room audience seated just behind the secret service. Her comments seem to echo those of Trumps inner circle,, which have been posted before, that he seems pretty concerned about these charges. She indicated that Trump never looked back from the judge, never looked at Jack Smith and only leaned over to whisper to his attorney, all the while clenching his jaw. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/reporter-who-sat-behind-trump-at-arraignment-i-ve-never-seen-that-kind-of-expression-on-donald-trump-before/vi-AA1cGyoU?ocid=msedgntp Wall Street Journal reporter Deborah Acosta describes her observations while sitting directly behind Donald Trump at his Miami arraignment on Tuesday. "When he got up and turned to leave the courtroom, he was looking down at the ground and he was pressing his lips, pursing them tightly together," she tells Alex Witt. "And then the corners of his mouth just dropped into the deepest frown I've ever seen on anyone in my entire life." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroveHillWanderer Posted June 18, 2023 Share Posted June 18, 2023 The stupidest thing about this whole affair (to me at least) is the fact that this is a problem entirely of Trump's own making. If he had just returned the documents when asked, like so many of his advisors were telling him to (or like Biden and Pence did) he would not be having any of these current problems. As pointed out in the article below: Quote Trump time and again rejected the advice from lawyers and advisers who urged him to cooperate [...] They note that Trump was not charged for any documents he returned voluntarily.

Popular Post eisfeld Posted June 18, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 18, 2023 Turns out that even if Trumps imaginary declassification of documents somehow would stick there's just a wee little problem for him: even a president can't declassify nuclear secrets. Quote Even when he was president, Donald Trump lacked the legal authority to declassify a U.S. nuclear weapons-related document that he is charged with illegally possessing, security experts said, contrary to the former U.S. president’s claim. The secret document, listed as No. 19 in the indictment charging Trump with endangering national security, can under the Atomic Energy Act only be declassified through a process that by the statute involves the Department of Energy and the Department of Defense. https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-lacked-power-declassify-secret-nuclear-arms-document-experts-say-2023-06-18/ 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
