What really happened: Davidson (not Richardson - thanks for paying attention!) testified it was accurate that there was no romantic relationship. That's only because he banged an adult film actress (hooker) once. Wham bam thank you ma'am. Great testimony for former President Dennison! EDIT: it depends on what the meaning of "is" is ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudonyms_of_Donald_Trump No idea what Travis Media Group is. Their Twitter account doesn’t have a website or any info on who is behind it or what their qualifications are. Most everything I’ve seen from them posted here about the trial shows total ignorance of the process or even the facts. And now they can’t even figure out who the witnesses are. Seems legit.

The Frankish Reich Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 2 hours ago, B-Man said: WHAT TWO-TIERED JUSTICE SYSTEM? Alvin Bragg May Not Prosecute Pro-Palestinian Rioters Who Occupied Columbia University. On Wednesday, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg refused to say whether he will prosecute the pro-Palestinian rioters who broke into and took over Hamilton Hall at Columbia University. Bragg is currently prosecuting Donald Trump for an alleged campaign finance violation that is normally tried as a misdemeanor offense and would normally result in a fine as a felony. In addition to elevating the misdemeanor offense to a felony, the statute of limitations on the alleged crime had passed. On top of that, nondisclosure agreements are not illegal. Despite Bragg's overzealousness to go after Trump, he was unresponsive to inquiries from the Daily Caller regarding potential charges for pro-Palestinian rioters arrested on Tuesday. The New York Police Department (NYPD) arrested 119 rioters at Columbia University on Tuesday evening, as well as 173 at a City University of New York (CUNY) protest, where students also took over an administrative building. https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2024/05/02/alvin-bragg-may-not-prosecute-pro-palestinian-rioters-who-occupied-columbia-university-n4928698 . Mass trespassing. Columbia allowed them onto the quad, allowed them to pitch tents, supported their right to exercise their freedom of speech. A lot of them wandered inside as a continuation of the free speech demonstration. Video doesn't show anyone trying to physically bar them. Plus some obviously non-student type agitators dressed in remarkably clean khakis were seen whispering sweet nothings in their ears before they entered the building. They weren't "camping" anywhere. They were obviously government informants urging these kids on. Any kids who are arrested should be considered patriots. No, not just patriots. Political prisoners. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Stormy Daniels’ Lawyer Just Destroyed Bragg’s Case Against Trump MATT MARGOLIS Former President Donald Trump was back in New York City Thursday for his criminal trial, and it's been a pretty good day for him. During Thursday's proceedings, Keith Davidson, the lawyer representing adult film actress Stormy Daniels, gave revealing testimony that completely undermines Bragg's charges against Trump. {snip} Meanwhile, Judge Juan Merchan, who is overseeing the case, may have made a critical error that could reverse the Trump verdict upon appeal by allowing prosecutors to make certain arguments. “I got to tell you, I think this judge may have already committed a reversible error,” GWU University law professor Jonathan Turley told Fox News. “He could try to amend it, he could try to change it in his instructions, but that jury has now been told repeatedly that there are federal election crimes here, strongly suggesting that the payment to Stormy Daniels did violate federal election laws. That’s just not true.” https://pjmedia.com/matt-margolis/2024/05/02/stormy-daniels-lawyer-just-destroyed-braggs-case-against-trump-n4928720 .

The Frankish Reich Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Hope Hicks on now. And any idea that she might not give the DA what he expected is out the window. News on cross-examination of Hicks: defense seems to be violating the old rule of "ask your one or two questions, then sit down!" The one question here would be: "Donald Trump never told you that he would pay off anyone to keep other embarrassing stories out of the news, right?" Answer (I assume): Correct. They seem to be making things worse by prolonging the agony ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 It's Hard to Imagine a Worse Day for Stormy and the NYC Prosecutors in the Hush Trump Case VICTORIA TAFT It's hard to imagine a worse day in court than having a reliable witness come in, throw his own client, Stormy Daniels, under the New York Subway train, and then completely disembowel the prosecution's case, at least the one they're selling to the jury. That's what happened Thursday in the Hush Trump case in Manhattan. The Get Trump prosecutors' big coup of a witness, Stormy Daniels' attorney Keith Davidson, basically pantsed D.A. Alvin Bragg, his assistant D.A., and lead prosecutor Matthew Colangelo in front of God and everybody. First, Davidson threw his client, the former adult movie copulator, under the B train by leaving her naked and exposed as the conniving extortionist she has always appeared to be in this shakedown of Trump. Davidson, who insisted on correcting attorneys nomenclature and another verbiage on the stand, pedantically yet thoroughly, discredited the prosecution's case that Trump frantically tried to silence the statuesque porno professional for a supposed long-ago tryst for the purpose of stealing the 2016 election. If you're new here, this is the prosecution's theory. There's more to it than that, but stop laughing and read more over here, here and here. Under questioning by Assistant District Attorney Joshua Steinglass, Davidson went over the nondisclosure agreement he helped draw up for Daniels. Steinglass was gingerly trying to ask Davidson if Stormy's agreement was a lie when she signed it to collect $130,000 or now, in court. But it was what he said under cross-examination by Trump's attorney that appears to have left Stormy in even more legal jeopardy than she was before. https://pjmedia.com/victoria-taft/2024/05/03/stormy-daniels-atty-says-she-basically-extorted-the-trump-heres-how-n4928731 .

Absolutely no one but these "give them what they want to hear" hacks thinks this is going well for Trump. And it got worse today when Hope Hicks provided enough for any juror to infer that Trump was fully in the loop. The prosecution could actually rest now, but I imagine there's more to come.

B-Man Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 FTA: Simply put: That which gets rewarded gets repeated. Humpty Dumpty and all that. The "Roman Revolution" and the erosion and eventual collapse of the Roman Republic’s mos maiorum. Having to sleep in the bed you made. Add in any cliché or historical reference you care to throw in, the point is the same. Unless firmly and quickly ended, this abuse of process by a partisan judge and a partisan prosecutor is going to continue —against candidates of both major parties, and perhaps against all future "former presidents." In short, this trial is the sowing of the wind. Other political judges and prosecutors will reap the whirlwind. Everyone will lose. It is, for those who profess to love the rule of law, a disaster. If a former president and current nominee of an out-of-power party can be put through such a circus within six months of an election, do you really think this is the last time that will happen? I don’t expect or, of course, condone violence in the aftermath of this trial or the fall’s election. Prophets of such doom are themselves likely to hold extreme views. But Juan Merchan and Alvin Bragg and their colleagues in this off-the-rails proceeding will have injected such deep bitterness into the country’s politics that it will take at least a few election cycles to purge the anger and perhaps as much as a generation or two to forget and recover from this abuse of process. We will not know this side of heaven what Merchan and Bragg thought they were doing. But what they have already done is enough to put them down in the column of those who put politics ahead of law, to the great and lasting detriment of the Republic. https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/morning-glory-show-trial-donald-trump . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
