State of New York v. Mar-A-Lardo

[Katheryne Helendale]

My question is: Given that he's on pre-trial release in three other jurisdictions and that the conditions of his release in each one includes something along the lines of "Defendant shall not violate any federal, state or local laws".... what are the chances his pre-trial release is revoked in one or more of those?

If it were anybody not named Trump, I'd say it would be an absolute certainty. But with the judicial system handling him with kid gloves, I doubt it.

Something I've been thinking about relative to all that: What if Trump really did get jailed? Would his poll numbers shoot upward? Would the more militant of his disciples react? Would he be a martyr? This case is so unprecedented, there's no telling what could happen if this happened or that happened. About all we can do is grab some popcorn and watch the shitshow unfold.

Just an historical point upon which to worry: Hitler became more popular after being convicted and imprisoned for the Munich Putsch.

That was mostly because up until that point in time, Hitler wasn't well-known in Germany.

Hitler-Pig Trump on the other hand is already famous, so being convicted won't help him in that regard.

Donald 'Von ShitzInPantz' has now formally been entered into the public record at Trump's hush-money trial

On Thursday morning, prosecutors at Trump's Manhattan hush-money trial argued that he violated his gag order last week when he made four on-camera statements attacking witnesses and the jury.

Things got weird when his defense attorney Todd Blanche complained that Trump must remain silent about witnesses and jurors while his opponents get to say "anything they want."

That's when President Joe Biden and Donald "Von ShitzInPants" made their bizarre cameo appearances on the official trial record.

Biden "mocked President Trump," Blanche told the judge, quoting into the record a joke the president had made Saturday at the White House Correspondents' Association dinner.

"Donald has had a few tough days lately. You might call it stormy weather," Biden quipped in a very apparent reference to Stormy Daniels, the porn star at the center of the hush-money trial.

"President Trump can't respond to that" by criticizing Daniels, Blanche said Thursday to the judge, state Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan.

Likewise, Trump's personal attorney turned nemesis, Michael Cohen, can take whatever potshot he chooses, Blanche told the judge.

Hitler was still a relatively young man when he went to jail. If Trump went to prison for even a few years, what would be the odds of him surviving. Although I can't figure how he hasn't raged himself into a stroke.

He's making me want to be under a gag order. So I can stop gagging when I read about him.

I'm actually shocked that it took him this long.

My theory: he ran out of lawyers.

No one working for him can actually like him. He is a nightmare client. I mean come on, his lawyer also introduced VonShitzInPantz into the record lol. Knowing that Trump had to hear this said out loud, and also knowing now that Jimmy Kimmel's interview with Stormy Daniels was entered into evidence is so fucking good. It is driving him absolutely fucking mad.

Hope Hicks broke down on the witness stand today after testifying about a conversation she had with Donald Trump, in which Trump told her that Michael Cohen paid Stormy Daniels to keep the bad story out of the press and that Cohen paid with his own money out of the goodness of his heart. When asked if she believed that, Hicks said that she didn't because she felt there was no chance Cohen would spend that much of his own money just to help out Trump. Hicks then began to cry on the stand and the judge took a break.

EVERYONE knew enough about Trump to be fully aware what they signed up for.

Her testimony was devastating. I have a very microscopic amount of thanks for the discomfort and damage to Trump from her testimony.

Oh, I didn't mean to imply that she deserves any empathy. I interpreted that as just another Trump supporter whose life is in shambles because of the choices she made. And now she feels sorry for herself.
