74/ Klasfeld:
At one point during his remarks, he said witnesses they’re calling “have nothing to do with the case.”
As he left, your pooler shouted: How is the judge conflicted? Which witnesses were you speaking about?
Reminder:
Trump's attorney Todd Blanche previously said that his client can't simply give no-comments to press inquiries like this, but the former president confirms once again that he can.
62/ Weissmann:
The falsity of the invoices is made crystal clear by the fact that if it were just a reimbursement is would be paid 1 for 1 and recorded as such (ie Trump wd owe Cohen $130,000), but the reimbursement had to be doubled because it was disguised as income on which Cohen would have to pay taxes. Weisselberg and McConney BOTH took notes that reflect that scheme.
Why not put him in jail?
In the real world, people get tossed behind bars for their first contempt of court.

@SecularJeffrey Easy! Tap and hold the space bar. That turns the keyboard into a touchpad. Then you can slide to the exact position you want.
@SecularJeffrey iOS has a “swipe” style keyboard built in. You can slide to numbers for quick use, or switch to the numeric keyboard. I can help more if you provide an actual example of what you’re trying to do.
@linkingdot If only Hamas had not fired from Rafah.
@adelinej Vas-y, pose la question.
@tdwllms1 @GottaLaff NFL: I don't see why he can't be jailed overnights then allowed to shower and dress for trial at Rikers. Lots of prisoners do that. Doesn't need to interrupt the trial.
15/ Pagliery:
What was different this time was that Justice Merchan finally addressed the elephant in the room.
No, not Trump.
I'm talking about the potential for destabilizing the nation & directing the fury of MAGA on NYC.
Merchan understands the stakes. And they are unbelievably high.
@wdlindsy I’ve found opinions tend to differ when broken down by both race and grade.
