Xiahou Dun posted:Does constantly calling himself "President" in all legal filings grate on all the judges* like I'm assuming it does? Judges are basically the last people in the world who would get annoyed by using titles and respect for institutions. I've had judges arguing against Zoom hearings and bringing all proceedings back to in-person in January 2021 because they were concerned that "everyone is looking directly at each other on Zoom" and "it may diminish respect for the judiciary" because when they are in person, they have to look up at the Judge and can see their name card that says "The Honorable Judge X" on it. On Zoom, everyone is at eye-level and using the name "The Honorable Judge X" on Zoom won't show the entire name when there are multiple people in the Zoom room.

Bobb is currently on the line for being the attorney who signed off on the original 'yeah we checked and there are no more classified or classified marked documents here' statement. kinda unclear what her connection to the Georgia case is unless she's getting investigated from multiple angles, which, tbf, is not at all unlikely. despite her having been involved in the trump legal shitstorm for a while, it's not immediately clear why the Fulton DA would be interested in her 6+ months ago. Afaik she's a true believer and iirc was one of the people brought on board from OANN, though who knows where her loyalties stand after getting wrapped up in an espionage/mishandling classified materials investigation.

... Are you sure you read that post correctly? I think it's just saying "judges actually like doing procedural paperwork, otherwise they wouldn't be able to survive being a judge and constantly doing procedural paperwork." I don't think it's actually making any other statements one way or another.

A couple of sites are claiming there was a bomb threat called in. Not specifically that it was what caused the delay, but in addition to what was going on. https://twitter.com/bbsutton/status/1638233894406201360 https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-03-21/bomb-threat-called-in-to-ny-court-where-trump-hearing-held "A bomb threat was called in just as a judge in lower Manhattan was about to start a hearing over a $250 million lawsuit by New York Attorney General Letitia James against Donald Trump. Tuesday’s 911 call was investigated, the courthouse at 60 Centre Street temporarily closed and searched, and the threat deemed unfounded, state court spokesman Lucian Chalfen said. " "The New York Police Department said in a statement it had an increased uniformed presence throughout the city and stressed that “there are currently no credible threats” to New York, but that it remained ready to respond to protests and counterprotests.

That’s some juicy stuff. I love that several of Trump lawyers have managed to get themselves turned into potential targets. My wish is that Smith starts firing off indictments and we’re just rooting through every bit player in this 7 year ordeal.

Grand jury in NY NOT meeting today. They have been told to stay home on standby for tomorrow. Places like Fox are claiming the delay is because "Soros-Funded DA Alvin Bragg CAUGHT HIDING Nearly 600 Pages of Exculpatory Evidence from NY Grand Jury in Trump Case”, but I cant find a reliable source saying anything. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQGMUeGq90o https://twitter.com/kaitlancollins/status/1638632045403426817 OgNar fucked around with this message at 21:55 on Mar 22, 2023 |

The privilege is the clients. So if the client uses the attorney to further crime, which is what is being speculated here (unless we get information that changes that) then there is no privilege. For how quick and aggressively the appeals court handled this (file in three hours by midnight) and judge Howell’s comment about “prima facile evidence of a crime” it seems like Trump clearly and knowingly lied to Corcoran and made him lie or obstruct. That Smiths team knew enough already to press Howell for the ruling after Corcoran said his testimony was protected seems pretty significant. Having tapes that can be played that clearly show Trump committing a crime would be really, really amazing given his always talking sideways about everything.

Based on the relatively low resistance by corcoran, my totally reckless speculation is that the conversations in question are "uhhh you can't do that, it's illegal" "shut up you are fake news"

# ? Mar 24, 2023 13:37 |

I'm just guessing, but the conversation is gonna be Trump and Corcoran discussing a crime that one or both of them totally committed but discussing it as a hypothetical. Because they believe that the equivalent of saying you're going to do it in Minecraft is a real thing.

I think the smart money is on "Trump lied to his lawyer in ways to make the lawyer give false information that the lawyer believed was true, in such a way to further trumps criminal activities." Thus crime-fraud, Lawyer himself is quite possibly not at risk himself as long as he plays ball and turns everything over.
