> [@Monty](#): > > Does that, or does it not, violate her plea agreement? AIUI her plea agreement requires honest testimony going forward, a written apology, and restitution. So she’s probably free to keep lying to and making money from all the rubes who don’t care about her guilt being a matter of public record. ---

> [@kaylasdad99](#): > > fuckstick misspells it so often Incidentally, this misspelling kinda undermines one of my very few witticisms on the spot. I was tending bar at a Christmas party in 1973 when a guest came up to me and pointed to the holiday pastries. He asked, “Is this stollen?” (giving it the full ‘shhhhtollen’ pronounciation) and I answered immediately “Nein, das vas paid-for.” ---

Plenty of Schadenfreude in this title alone, which has a King Lear-esque feel to it: > **[Trump rages as former acolytes turn against him under legal heat | CNN Politics](https://www.cnn.com/2023/10/25/politics/trump-former-aides-turn-against-him/index.html)** > > Donald Trump’s wealth, power and fame acted like a magnet for new associates keen to enter his orbit. But now, key figures who sought a share of his reflected glory are turning against him to save themselves. ---

I think most of his spelling mistakes are of this type. ---

Here’s the deal … he spelled it, “stollen,” once and is too much of a narcissist to admit it was a mistake, so he just made it into his own little style choice. I mean, I always write, “tv” as, “The TeeVee,” as a style choice, but at least mine is amusing and makes a little sense. ---

This time, the judge said he did not believe a remark by Trump was directed at Michael Cohen. > The dispute began outside of court, during a break in the testimony, when Trump said he believed that both Engoron and the person next to him were extremely partisan. Trump complained that Engoron, a Democrat, is “a very partisan judge, with a person who’s very partisan sitting along side of him, perhaps even much more partisan than he is.” > > Learning of those comments, Engoron **—** who had previously issued a gag order that barred the former president from making any public statements about court personnel **—** summoned Trump to explain exactly what he meant. > > Trump said he was referring not to the judge’s law clerk, who sits next to him in court, but to Trump’s former lawyer Michael Cohen, who had been on the witness stand earlier Wednesday. > > Engoron said he didn’t believe Trump’s explanation. > > “As the trier of fact I find that the witness is not credible," Engoron said, adding that he believed Trump was "referring to my … principal law clerk, who is sitting much closer to me.” The judge noted there’s a barrier between the witness stand and the bench, and said that was part of the reason he believed Trump meant the clerk and not Cohen. ---
