CNN right now: Court is reconvening. Jury has reached a decision, but verdict will not be read until everybody is there. Trump has left the building, but he doesn’t need to be there anyway. ---

My guess is that they are taking the prosecution’s recommendation if it’s that quick. Hopefully the jurors don’t get doxxed. ---

I’m hoping it’s a BIG check he’s gotta provide. Around $50 million. ---

It is pretty much a given the jurors will have their names and home addresses get out on the internet. I wouldn’t be surprised if one of them ends up injured or worse. ---

The question may be answered: How much money will it take to cause Donnie to shut his babbling orange mouth? ---

Almost certainly more than whatever the jury decides. ---

No matter the amount, you can be sure we’ll hear about it from him later today. Mostly about how it’s unfair, he did nothing wrong, he doesn’t know her, etc., etc., etc. Lather, rinse, repeat. ---

What? How long were they out? Minutes? Kinda blows my mind that they coulda agreed on a number that quickly. Eager to hear! ---
