How do the chuds rationalize Trump’s visits to child rape island?

A couple ways-
"He was visiting to gather evidence for his fight against the Deep State!"

"He just went a couple time for a real estate deal"

"He never went"/"They lie"/"That's Fake"/"He wouldn't do that"

Unless new evidence has come to light, Trump didn't go there.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — South Korea’s main opposition leader is recovering well from surgery after being stabbed in the neck earlier this week, his doctor said Thursday, as police seek a formal arrest warrant to extend the suspect’s custody.

Lee Jae-myung, head of the liberal Democratic Party, South Korea’s biggest political party, was stabbed by a knife-wielding man who approached him asking for his autograph at an event in the southeastern city of Busan on Tuesday. The man was immediately detained by police.

A man who had been denied probation attacked a judge during his sentencing in a Nevada courtroom on Wednesday in a violent episode that was captured on video.

The man, Deobra Redden, 30, was in court in Las Vegas for a sentencing hearing on Wednesday morning after pleading guilty to attempted battery with substantial bodily harm, a spokeswoman for the Eighth Judicial District Court said in a statement on Wednesday.

In a video of the hearing, which circulated widely on social media, Mr. Redden is seen leaping over a courtroom bench onto Judge Mary Kay Holthus, sending flags behind the bench falling to the ground. The bench blocks the view of Judge Holthus and Mr. Redden for a few moments in the video as cursing is heard in the background. Seconds later, three men are seen trying to subdue Mr. Redden while also repeatedly punching him.

Judge Holthus, 62, was injured, and her condition was being monitored, the court spokeswoman said. A court marshal was also injured and taken to a hospital, where he was believed to be in stable condition, the spokeswoman said.
“We commend the heroic acts of her staff, law enforcement, and all others who subdued the defendant,” the Eighth Judicial District Court said in a statement. “The court remains committed to a safe and secure courthouse and courtrooms. We are reviewing all our protocols and will do whatever is necessary to protect the judiciary, the public and our employees.

Judge Holthus and a lawyer for Mr. Redden did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Wednesday.

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department said that detectives were investigating a battery at the courthouse on Wednesday morning. In a statement that did not identify anyone involved in the attack, the Police Department said that two victims were taken to the University Medical Center with injuries that were not life-threatening, and that the suspect was in custody.

Just before Mr. Redden leaped over the bench, his lawyer asked Judge Holthus to sentence Mr. Redden to probation.

“I appreciate that, but I think it’s time he get a taste of something else,” Judge Holthus said before continuing with her sentencing.
“I just can’t with that history,” Judge Holthus said, appearing to refer to Mr. Redden’s criminal background.

Court records show that Mr. Redden previously spent time in prison, including in 2015 when he was sentenced a minimum of 19 months for attempted theft. Mr. Redden served time in 2021 for domestic battery, according to Nevada Department of Corrections records.

Judge Holthus took the bench in Clark County in January 2019, after working with the Clark County District Attorney’s Office for more than 27 years, according to the Eighth Judicial District Court.

Before entering a Clark County courtroom, visitors are screened for weapons and other illegal items, according to the Eighth Judicial District Court’s rules. Visitors are also asked to sit quietly in the courtroom.

Courthouses typically have some security, and in some instances, security guards have also been subjected to attacks. Last year, a man was sentenced to 46 months in prison for assaulting a court security officer at the Lloyd D. George Federal Courthouse in Las Vegas in 2022, according to the Justice Department.

Help me out here legal goons.

I assumed that a stay is for the trial itself, not the work that happens in the background. Is that understanding correct?

quote:

But in that order, Chutkan made clear that the deadlines were merely "held in abeyance" rather than permanently vacated and noted that the purpose of the stay was for the benefit of Trump's team, so as not to "impose additional burdens of litigation" on Trump as he pursued the appeal.

There was nothing in the order that barred federal prosecutors from continuing to proactively provide discovery or file motions even though the deadlines were lifted.

Chutkan explicitly raised the possibility that she would "retain" deadlines if the appeals court rejects Trump's presidential immunity claim.

“If jurisdiction is returned to this court, it will — consistent with its duty to ensure both a speedy trial and fairness for all parties —consider at that time whether to retain or continue the dates of any still-future deadlines and proceedings, including the trial scheduled for March 4, 2024," Chutkan wrote.

Not surprised. If Iran had even the slightest suspicion it was Israel they would've said so very loudly by now.

Isn’t it to the defense’s benefit that the prosecution keeps filing while the stay is in place?

The stay isn’t like a stop work order. It’s not forbidden for either side to spend time on their case. So the alternative that Donnie is ostensibly asking for would have the prosecution still working in the background and, if Trump lost on the immunity argument, the prosecution would have a backlog of material to file in short order.

This would clearly be worse for the defense than the prosecution submitting documents as they go.

There is. He can’t appeal every interlocutory decision from a criminal trial. Gag orders (because they’re injunctive in nature) and stuff like immunity are the only things he can appeal right now. The rest must way until post-judgment.
