I was thinking the same thing but I would assume that Trump was told that he must absolutely not contact a list of people under any circumstance.

Great instructions to a man who looked directly at an eclipse.

I try to retain hope that something meaningful will happen as a result of these hearings, but it’s hard to look at the Democrats being Democrats for the past 30 years and think anything will happen other than a big “The Aristocrats!”-style jazz hands at the end of it all and the committee saying “Look, we have conclusively shown Donald Trump is the most dangerous man to American democracy in history. So get out there and vote!”

Hundreds of gigabytes of texts? Would that include images too? Because text chains can't be more than a few megs worth of data, depending on length. Hundreds of gigabytes would be...tens of thousands of texts.

Also, any guesses on which Senator he was talking about? Im guessing Hawley, myself.

Sounds like it’s the entire phone backup, not just the messages.

TX law caps punitive damages at $750,000. The jury was not allowed to be told this. The defense attorney strongly encourages them to save the heavy damages for the punitive phase, knowing this.

I wonder if the FBI checked behind the framed magazine covers for classified documents. Seems to me Trump would think it was the perfect hiding spot for the really good stuff.

Of course, he'd get bored halfway through and/or not have the strength to undo the cardboard backing on the picture frame and the documents would then be half hanging out of the frames...

My theory is that’s how he was disseminating documents to buyers, by slipping them into framed photos/Time magazine covers.

Does "pay your own court fees" really means the vendor bills Trump directly?? That seems insane, why wouldn't the court pay for the service and include that in Trump's penalties and fees when the case is over?

Penalties? Trump is the plaintiff here.

"On the other hand, Newsweek notes that term is “archaic,” and former Trump fixer Michael Cohen thinks the “J-word” is “not an option.” While Cohen has testified before Congress that Trump is a “racist,” he told Insider that “there’s no chance” Trump would use such an obvious (near) racial slur against James in public."

When asked if it was something Urban Dictionary related...
“There’s no way in the world that Donald Trump knows the Urban Dictionary,” Cohen told Insider. “Considering he doesn’t even know the English dictionary.”

Most just think its Dementia.

His dementia addled brain combined jiggaboo and pickaninny.

^^^That's also assuming Trump is telling the truth and actually knows something about an imminent arrest instead of just making poo poo up or parroting horseshit he gleaned from Qanon or what a drunken Gullani told him. And it could absolutely be just that loving stupid where that is the source of his information.

At this stage of the game, I think him being arrested will only solidify his base and fire them up (it's happening!) but someone should tell Donald that if he's actually tried, then the RATINGS will be record setting. That'd probably be enough to get him to turn himself in.

100% guarantee that if this happens, Trump at some point will reference the ratings he's getting.

FWIW Evan Perez on CNN saying the DoJ investigation is gaining momentum and the feeling is that soon, the DoJ will need to make a decision. Well before he's next to appear in court for the NY charges that the DoJ will announce on the classified documents probe.

They could charge him in 7.5 months and it would still be before he’s due to appear in court again for NY.

CNN is now saying that the Trump lawyers did not find that classified Iran document. Whether that's because somebody else has it, or whether it's simply gone, remains to be seen.

He probably sold it.

Y'all know that just because a judge was appointed by Trump doesn't mean that they are his footstool right? Though it's of course possible this one is, I don't know anything about them.

Also, they are randomly assigned to cases to prevent judge shopping.

She's the judge who appointed the special master when Trump tried to move the search warrant hearing by filing suit against the FBI in another district. She had no jurisdiction and it took an appeal from the FBI to the 11th Circuit to get it removed from her hands.

She even put forth arguments for Trump's side that his own lawyers didn't even try to argue, because they were so insane, and she was open to the idea that he still holds Executive Privilege and even the power to declassify, post-presidency.

Trump specially filed his suit in her district so she would get the case. She is absolutely compromised.

She even cited Nixon as precedent that maybe Trump does have the power to take the documents.

The Presidential Records Act was created and passed because of what Nixon did.
