...even the people who wrote it? Would it really have been assembled by hand from multiple sources by someone legally barred from laying eyes on any of it? Or by multiple people legally barred from laying eyes on the other parts of it?

Absolutely it was assembled by hand from multiple sources, each on their own less damaging/classified, than when they are all together. That's the definition of SCI information. No other gears in the clock know what all the others are doing, just that when they do their job, the clock works. It makes perfect sense for a small number of people to have put the binder together by hand.

There is no reason to assume this.

Right. Probably because there was no digital copy of it since it was likely assembled by hand. Also, given how much the IC poo poo their pants after the Snowden leaks poo poo. If it contains sources and methods, that poo poo is guarded like nuclear secrets and don't want some traitor to put that poo poo on a thumb drive and smuggle it out in their rear end.

Oh hey, the jury has the case now.

I like how the judge kind of gave the jury incentive to hurry the gently caress up, by instructing them to send a note if they're not gonna reach a verdict today by 4:30 pm

I really hope that the jury is pissed off about having to deal with this poo poo because he can't keep his yap shut and hits him hard with damages, like treble damages of the previous award.

That's the way I really want to read the judge's charge to the jury about sending a note back if they'll be working late...on a friday. I really hope one juror just says "ONE BILLION DOLLARS" like Dr. Evil and the rest just shrug and say "sounds good to me!"

And, in a sweet little detail, he’s set the deadline for “you bastards tell me what you actually know to avoid sanctions” early enough such that the lawyers will have to file these statements before they’ve seen what facts Weisselburg is admitting by his guilty plea.

It's even better if you read the beginning of that second paragraph in the voice of Tyrael from Diablo.

I think Wade was probably fine from a skill set point of view and the personal chemistry pushed it over the edge. (Maybe I'm too beaten down by US workplace culture, but that doesn't seem that different from any other industry.) He's an experienced litigator and former municipal court judge.

It's not like there's some set legal track to specialize in election interference cases.

I guess I should have worded that better. I'm sure he's a fine prosecutor, and competent, but when you're prosecuting arguably the biggest case in US history, you don't pick a B student to be on your legal team.

Do you think this ever comes off as whiny to his base? Some kind of "take it like a man" deal?

Highly doubtful considering the cult of personality and how being a victim is one of their central tenets. More just kind of wondering aloud* if there's some theoretical upper bound.


*avisible?

Nope. They view this as him fighting The Deep State. If and when he gets to court and gets convicted, his base will scream "he was set up!" until they die.

Got called for jury duty about 2 years ago for a high profile (for my area) murder case. There were about a hundred of us to start the day and over the whole day they whittled it down to about 20. They picked 15. Thankfully I was not one of them because after 2 days after the trial started the judge declared a mistrial because one of the defense's witnesses said something on the stand that they shouldn't have.

Eh, not that big of a deal, and in the grand scheme of things having his lawyers eject jurors serves to show he received adequate representation.

Oh, I agree, but juror #2 was struck for cause because of a facebook post about trump where they said "lock him up". I mean, if you're gonna try to John Kusack the trial, can't you at least try?

I, for one, hope that Trump is enjoying every single minute he has to spend in a courtroom listening to no-name rando juror's talk poo poo about him while not being allowed to respond. Should be doing big beautiful things to his blood pressure.

Hopefully this is the judge trolling him for threatening everyone.

Metro is where they kept El Chapo during his trial.

It's also has experience housing former presidents (of Honduras).

An appeal isn't a whole new trial. In an appeal, the appealing party points out errors in the trial process that they think changed the outcome. If the judge agrees that errors in the first trial affected the outcome, the original verdict is overturned.


Does the title "Convicted Felon" go away while the appeal plays out?

Looks like Trump brought noted intellectual heavyweights Matt Gaetz and Lauren Boebert to be his mouthpieces today. Good God.
