Im guessing it’s also the reason for his support of Speaker Johnson.

There is no definition for Election Fraud. Any fraud is at the polls.

The judge will approve some ridiculous jury instructions. This will eventually be overturned on appeal, but they don’t
care. It’s all about Election Day. But I think they are overplaying their hand. Some people who are not core Trump fans are thinking, if they can do that, isn’t it plausible that there was some amount of election fraud in the past Presidential election? And if they can screw over Trump, despite Trump’s wealth and power, what chance do ordinary people have?

THAT video remains a classic.

I review it every 6 months, and recommend to my kids that they do so too.

I probably should start showing to my grandkids when I visit.

He can testify. He knows this. But he also knows that certain subjects can be brought into the case that he may not want that the judge announced at the beginning of the trial. And he knows a gag order doesn’t preclude him from testifying. What does he think his supporters are? Stupid?

He’s being facetious, sort of. Killing 2 birds with one stone.

No, not stupid. As Responsibility2nd said he was being facetious. Mocking the court “I’d love to testify but the judge will fine me or lock me up for speaking about the witnesses”. Or course, on the stand, the gag order does not apply. But the judge could be a jerk and sustain every objection to his testimony as irrelevant and try to prevent him from speaking his mind.

Yeah I can be long winded. I’m tired of being snarky. And my thoughts aren’t as concise I wish them to be.

Not just looking under every rock, but inventing crap out of thin air like paying foreign spies to make up lies allegedly obtained from other foreign spies; leaking lies to a compliant media happy to repeat them; attempts to entrap him, his family and his staff; filed perjured FISA warrants, wrapping people up in process crimes such as they did to General Flynn; claiming that him asking a foreign government about corruption and blackmail that Biden openly admitted to is not part of his job as POTUS; cutting video clips out of context to intentionally misrepresent his statements; exploiting and extending the pandemic to damage his term; encouraging race riots… they did everything possible’. They even had agents waiting at the airport to nab that Papadopolous fellow - they had someone give him $10,000 in cash in Europe and had hoped to catch him at the airport with undeclared suspicious cash but he was clever enough to know it was suspicious and didn’t bring the money in, so they had no case. The bills may have even been counterfeit to entrap him on that charge too. But they were fully expecting to nab him and slander him for taking a cash bribe and/or circulating counterfeit bills.

The list of machinations and manipulations against him and his family is endless and will never be fully knowable. It’s dangerous to let our Republic be run by such people.

And this is what we get for it - unmitigated illegal immigration of military aged men, three new foreign theaters of war, ballooning debt, $100s of billions in new handouts, onerous new regulations and mandates all designed to further entrench and enrich the entrenched and enriched interests of a very select few.

Your post was excellent. It delved into the all the nuances about this case and trial. Well done.

Smart move on his part. Defense lawyers rarely if ever want their clients to take the stand.

Good. He’s great at campaigning, but every lawyer’s nightmare for a client testifying.

I end up posting it half a dozen times a year, here and elsewhere. It definitely must be seen. There are good reasons it has so many views.

I think the judge will tell him today he’s free to testify like anybody else. He’ll ask him if he’d like to. Just to clear the air of the situation.
