Klasfeld:

When Trump's lawyer questioned a juror about Facebook posts, the 👉🏼former president reacted audibly and visibly.👈🏼

After she leaves, Justice Merchan angrily warns him via his lawyer:

❗️👉🏼"I will not have any jurors intimidated in this courtroom. I want to make that crystal clear."

Show thread

Dismissed, with a fine, & it's confidential. Typical, & disappointing.

"Voting software firm Smartmatic and pro-Trump conspiracy network One America News have reached a confidential settlement in the defamation lawsuit accusing OAN of peddling lies about the 2020 presidential election."

I didn't even read Arena's post to need to know who you're most likely talking about.

Tuberville is a great example of the benefit the conservatives derive from undermining education imo just in the fact that he could be elected.

Not our circus, but it's hard not to notice the clown in the tent next door. Which clown name do you prefer?

1. Don Snoreleone

2.The Nodfather

or

3. Drowsy Don

@AlliFlowers Nothing explicably qualifies Tuberville for the seat he's holding.

His knowledge of the Constitution & the Declaration of Independence is very likely based on hearsay of microscopic selective vague snippets from those documents.

He shouldn't try to prepare America for the idea of becoming a neo-Confederate police state, with Gestapo-like officers going after women, who exert their right to self-determination, reproductive sovereignty & private healthcare decisions.

@rbreich
Clarence Thomas has not been forced out yet because the Republicans have succeeded in creating so many scandals that the public cannot focus on one to its conclusion.

@GottaLaff this guy who has dressed up like this for 8 years found himself in jury pool yesterday. He excused himself.

@AlliFlowers

I wonder if he sits there and plays with himself when he reads strangers' gynecological reports.

The word ‘#otherwise’ in the #obstruction statute & why it matters

The #law includes a penalty of up to 20 yrs in #prison for anyone who “corruptly — (1) alters, destroys, mutilates, or conceals a record, document, or other object, or attempts to do so, with the intent to impair the object’s integrity or availability for use in an official proceeding; or (2) otherwise obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding, or attempts to do so.”

Reminder: Trump is not on trial for having an affair with a porn star. He is not on trial for paying hush money to a porn star. He is on trial for cooking the books to hide the fact that he paid hush money to a porn star, a crime for which his former attorney Michael Cohen already went to prison.

The only way he avoids conviction is if the jury includes one of those crime-loving MAGAts who would never convict no matter how guilty the defendant is.

The reality of being a criminal defendant on trial finally dawned on Trump. He didn’t take it well. - POLITICO
