Did he really just say Trump is a "frugal businessman" who "pinches pennies"?

This contempt? Nothing but noise.
The guilty charges? Just writing.

They have to. The fact it the falsified records were done to cover up election law violations is a key legal requirement of the charges. If there's no election law violations, there's no felony.

I think it's AI upscaling/sharpening and frame interpolation to 60fps, the effect is a very smooth sharp video.

I know everyone's going to be saying that Trump escaped consequences yet again or something, but Trump has $175 million dollars less than before, and that's just until the appeal.

Would've been cool watching them seize Trump tower and all that but it's not nothing.

Look, my client clearly didn't murder that hooker, he is famously cheap, there is clearly a good reason he needed a bunch of lye and bleach at 1AM, why would a guilty person do something that blatantly looks like covering up a murder?

I get the feeling that this is some two-pronged thing where 1) he can’t hire competent lawyers because he infamously refuses to pay for anything and 2) his lawyers were handed the legal equivalent of handing a pile of dog poo poo to a baker who’s then told “I need this to be a delicious wedding cake by the end of the week”.

Just a reminder that someday we are going to witness the State Funeral of President Donald J. Trump, and Congress (if divided) is going to fight as to whether he gets to lie in state in the rotunda or not

something definitely will be rotunda at his funeral if you know what i mean.
