Trump Faces Wave Of Bad News In Mar-a-Lago Probe - TPM – Talking Points Memo

Donnie should be so grateful he wasn’t coup plotting in a “shit hole country.”
Somehow, though, I doubt that magnitude of his good fortune sinks in.

CNN quoted one person familiar as saying that prosecutors asked, “‘Did they tell you what to say? Did they get you to alter your testimony?’ Even if it were true, would anybody admit it?

“Um, yeah?”

I wonder if a bucket of water thrown on him would work as well?

So how are we on tying him to a trailer hitch and dragging him on a gravel road?

I think we should take out a full page add in the NYT calling for the death penalty.

My memory, fuzzy though it may be, is that Trump has systematically obstructed justice in one way or another for all of his adult life, and that when any of those attempts failed, he settled out of court. He has a huge karmic burden just waiting to be paid.

“The purported lack of a fulsome response to that subpoena led to the FBI raid.”

I’m certain the response was not fulsome (complimentary or flattering to an excessive degree) but the reason the FBI acted is that the response was clearly incomplete. This misuse is widespread. How has fulsome come to be a synonym for full in legal jargon?

When the Trump Era fades away, there will be a noticeable change in our politics.

The persons who are aware of this include none other than Donald Trump.

Fascism will have to be defeated after Trump is gone. That disease is with us for the foreseeable future.

It’s not a good day for TFG.

Despite desperate pleas for delay by lawyers representing Donald Trump, it looks like author E. Jean Carroll’s trial stemming from sexual assault allegations will move forward according to plan. On Monday, Judge Lewis Kaplan rejected the argument that Trump needed a “cooling off” period before jury selection because of the “deluge” of media coverage surrounding his indictment on charges that he paid hush-money to adult film star Stormy Daniels, according to The Washington Post . It seems the judge was convinced by Carroll’s lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, who claimed that “it is somewhat perverse for Trump to seek a continuance in these proceedings based on the recent indictment when so much of the publicity he complains about has been driven by his own incendiary statements.” The civil trial will begin on April 25; it stems from a lawsuit Carroll filed last year under a new law in New York that allows sexual assault victims to sue over cases that would normally have passed the statue of limitation. She is seeking damages over the alleged sexual assault in the dressing room of a Bergdorf Goodman department store in the 1990s.

This would be a good nut to crack, because it goes to the heart of how Trump continues to have control over people that should have abandoned him long ago.

No matter how much control he may have over people, even those people hate him but they’re scared to death of him.

Great for Donald Trump. Isn’t he the guy who said that there is no such thing as Bad Publicity?

Those were a few happy minutes, yelling it in unison. But he probably labeled them left wing loonies. How little he knows.
