Donald Trump Indicted on 7 Counts

[Stavros]

There are laws against jury tampering that could be applied, though judges have clearly been reluctant to do this against Trump.

It's interesting to see what details the media are allowed to publish on jury members. In some cases it seems to be enough that acquaintances could be able to identify them.

I don't get it -the ID of the Jury is or should be irrelevant, but I guess this is how Americans want it. I also think it is odd that the Court allows Trump to step outside and immediately talk to camera -can't they stop this? He has his own media channel, he can whine and complain as much he wants to there.

Completely agree,the New York State Courts should remove the cameras and microphones outside the courtroom,so Donald Trump can't bitch and moan about how unfair he's being treated.

It looks like the Supreme Court is likely to give a ruling on his immunity claim that will at least allow him to delay his Federal trial until after the election.

It's quite amazing that the right-wing judges seem more concerned about the risk of politically-motivated prosecutions that they are about the potential consequences of allowing the President to be above the law.

"Daniel was asked whether they ran into each other again at the tourament. She said that they did, in one of the gift rooms.
"Like I mentioned, every party came through, there’s so many photos of the girls with all the celebrities that came through that day …He did remember us from the golf course – he remembered me specifically, that I was the smart one.
“We did have our DVDs, our adult films there, he did ask for one I directed".

Daniels said it was called Three Wishes. They spoke very briefly.

At one point, one of Trump’s bodyguards came over and said “Mr Trump was interested in having me join him for dinner.” Hoffinger asked Daniels: What was your answer? “No.”".

I wonder what his other two wishes were...

"Stormy Daniels later said Donald Trump told her she reminded her of his daughter Ivanka"...

(must be 'reminded him'?)

Hail to the Beast!

I think the key argument must be that as the Constitution does not give the President any role to play in the General Election process, the President has no 'official business', and therefore cannot be immune from prosecution with regard to Trump's illegal interferences in the election, and this extends to the speeches, and media comments he made in advance of the attack on the Capitol that cannot be separated from the violent sedition that took place on that day.

Whether or not the filing by Jack Smith make a difference remains to be seen and argued over.

But can a President order the DoJ to do it?
