But if the bond is denied they could still take his plane and everything else tomorrow. He'd just get the money they've collected by selling his poo poo in a fire sale

While a possibility, this won't actually happen.

If Engoron denies the bond, he'll likely give Trump a week or so to secure another. If he doesn't secure one, James isn't going to liquidate everything immediately.

So this is an interesting take on the rally cancellation.

"Alex, I think it is a good chance that it was strategic," [David Henderson] replied. "And this will be an ongoing theme we talk about this [hush money] trial. Trials cannot accommodate uncontrollable witnesses, and so a number of things we saw happen during the first few days of this trial will come up because president Trump — the former president — can open the door by making statements publicly that are not true that can go back to bite him in the courtroom." "So his lawyers would prefer for him to say as little as possible from now until the trial is done," he added.

This is pretty reasonable speculation considering the number of gag order violation claims piling up. (Most notably the Watters quote.)

He can't keep his mouth shut and that's going to annoy the hell out of his attorneys.

That's a great twist I hadn't fully considered. His rallies are dangerous now to his criminal defense, and not just breaking gag orders, but by talking about any specific trial he just may riff into providing fresh evidence and confession.

So not only is his actual time taken up by the trials - and not just sitting in court, but everything involved in getting there and leaving - but his actual rally time will be reduced possibly as much as possible to limit his legal exposure.

Also, he's an old man who's unhealthy, and mentally fragile. This has to be doing a number on him. LOW ENERGY for any rallies or speeches.

Nothing will come of this but still laughing that Ken Paxton might face a bar inquiry over trying to overturn the 2020 election.

https://www.msnbc.com/top-stories/latest/ken-paxton-texas-bar-association-lawsuit-rcna148679

quote:

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton can be sanctioned by the state bar association over his unsuccessful effort to overturn the 2020 election results, a state appeals court ruled on Thursday.

A three-judge panel on Texas' Fifth Court of Appeals determined that a lawsuit brought by the State Bar of Texas' disciplinary committee against Paxton can proceed, because the suit is seeking to punish him in his capacity as a licensed attorney and not as a public official.

The state bar’s lawsuit has loomed over Paxton as he battled criminal charges and corruption allegations in other matters, and as he continues to use the power of his office to take frivolous and cruel legal action to assert his conservative agenda. The disciplinary committee first brought the suit against Paxton in 2022. He had challenged the election results in key battleground states that Biden narrowly won in 2020, and his petition was swiftly dismissed by the Supreme Court.

Paxton tried to have the committee's lawsuit against him thrown out, arguing that he had petitioned the high court as a public official and therefore was not subject to the bar's disciplinary rules.

“Every attorney admitted to practice in Texas, including those representing a government agency, is subject to the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct and Texas Rules of Disciplinary Procedure,” Appeals Court Justices Erin Nowell and Nancy Kennedy wrote in the majority opinion.

“Subjecting Paxton to disciplinary proceedings does not violate separation of powers; immunizing him does,” they added.

If Paxton is ultimately sanctioned by the state bar, he could receive a private or public reprimand, or even disbarment. He would still be able to serve as Texas attorney general, however; a license from the bar is not required for the position.

Paxton’s spokesperson, Paige Willey, said he will appeal the ruling to the Texas Supreme Court, whose justices are all Republicans.
