I guess TFG, which used to stand for:

The Former Guy

Now stands for:

The Felon Guy

Right?

I hope the jury & judge & the lawyers & the DA & their families are protected & safe. The convict better not target them. But we know he will.

Okay, the trial is now over. Can we please talk about some of the other damn issues that we face.

Have you heard about Erik Prince's WhatsApp messages to Nazis that just broke today?

It seems like a great time to share this prophetic tweet from Lindsey Graham.

Grateful for a fair judge, 12 New Yorkers who did their public service, and that we live in a country where the rule of law prevailed.

Breaking: Trump wins New York’s 34 criminal charges in a landslide.

Wikipedia ain't asleep.

Trump's lawyer Todd Blanche: We move for a judgment of acquittal. There is no way this jury could have reached a verdict without relying on Michael Cohen - he lied, in this case. He cannot be used to convict President Trump
Justice Merchan: I'm sure you misspoke

live your life so that when the verdict comes in and you are convicted of 34 felonies millions of people don't celebrate

Spare a thought for the brave jurors in the Trump trial today. Trump is a vindictive narcissist.

Mentioned on MSNBC, the growing alliance between #ElonMusk and #Trump, as if we need another reason to question the wisdom of billionaires. My wild ass guess, besides being two simpatico egomaniacs, Musk may view Trump as the “less regulation” Maniac in Charge, and blind or indifferent to Trump’s fascist nature. 🤔🔥

If jurors were required to be #unanimous on which unlawful means (#crimes) #Trump employed, it may have been harder to reach a verdict.

Merchan explains the elements of the #felony falsification charge. He says the records at issue can pertain to a private business & can be electronic or other data.

Trump and his allies claim the criminal case would never have been brought against anyone else.

100% incorrect.

New York has a long tradition of producing corrupt politicians who eventually get prosecuted for things like campaign finance violations.

Just ask George Santos.

This is a good thing. We need more good things.

Justice #Merchan explains the reason prosecutors charged #Trump w/falsifying business records as a #felony: Because, they say, he covered up a second #crime, violating the state #ElectionLaw that forbids a #conspiracy to aid a person’s #election by #UnlawfulMeans.

Last week, prosecution won a major argument when they argued that the jurors did not have to agree #unanimously on the “unlawful means” (#crimes) they might determine that Trump used.

Justice #Merchan explains that the #law considers #MichaelCohen an #accomplice “because there is #evidence that he participated in a #crime based upon conduct involved in the allegations here against the defendant.”

🚨He tells the jurors that “even if you find the testimony of Michael Cohen to be believable, you may not convict the defendant solely upon that testimony, unless you also find that it was corroborated by other evidence” connecting #Trump w/the crime.
