But, “Gag order! Arrgh! UNFAIR!

Remember, this is the same guy who argued (in another of his myriad cases) that a judge should be dismissed because she was biased against him for all the racist things he’d said about her.

Hey, I gotta remember that. I can just call the judge a [redacted][redacted] repeatly and then claim the judge was biased because of that.

That’s happened in two cases, hasn’t it?

team trump is trying more appeals. first is presidential immunity, and the second is trying to bump the judge.

another day another appeal.

Next they’re going to squirt oil all over the floor at the entrance to the courtroom, cartoon style slipping and falling to ensue.
(Ensue. Sounds like a good Trump word.)

Trump’s lawyers send subpoena to the wrong person in hunt for evidence

The link is a slideshow (text below slides). If you want a on-page article, you can search Jeremy Rosenburg Brooklyn. I linked the slideshow because I like this text:

[T]he Trump defense team appears to have sent the subpoena to Brooklyn man Jeremy Rosenberg, who emphasized that he is a different person by e-mailing them back: ‘I don’t have any files for you.’ According to a filing by the attorneys released on Monday, he appears to have taken the cheekiness one step further. He wrote: ‘PS - The phone number you provided was disconnected’ before adding ‘PPS - I’m keeping the fifteen dollars’ in reference to the amount the lawyers sent him so that he could mail them the documents.

Attorney Todd Blanche, representing Trump, ‘has complained that the Rosenberg they’ve been trying to reach has shown a ‘flippant’ attitude toward the proceedings.’ Well, yeah. I’d be flippant too, if I were not the person you think I am.

He’s persistent, I’ll give him that.

Trump files more attempts to slow hush money case

Former President Donald Trump has asked a New York appeals court for emergency relief to stop the criminal hush money trial scheduled to begin on Monday so he can appeal a lower court’s ruling on presidential immunity and have the judge recused from the case.

He’s mad that the judge keeps declining his frivolous motions, so now he submitted a motion to get those same old motions reviewed by the appeals court. And get the judge removed from the case, because he’s a big old meanie face poopy head. But mainly to delay the trial.

While he may well be persistent I suspect the proper term is that he is panicked. The closer the start of this trial gets the more anxious and desperate he will get. Actually having this trial start is one of his worst nightmares coming to life.

I don’t understand why. Not only has Trump assured us he did nothing wrong, he’s done so very well in all the other cases he’s been involved with that involved a jury. Juries love Trump almost as much as suburban housewives do.

Lest we ever forget:

Does Trump have to be there every day? Under New York state law, Trump is required to attend his entire criminal trial in person, potentially limiting his ability to travel outside of the state as he campaigns for President.

–Time Magazine

That’s … gonna’ leave a mark.

I don’t see the problem with this. A meanie like Merchan should be kicked off the bench right before the trial begins, and replaced by someone like Aileen “Loose” Cannon, or at least by a judge that Trump’s lawyers have had a chance to interview and approve. It’s only right and proper! :rofl:

Thanks for the Time quote. Having to attend the trial every single day may be one of Trumpie’s big worries. Expect to see a motion for an exception in his case, because he’s, like, special.

(Actually the quote is David quoting Time Magazine)

Hmm, doesn’t that also conflict with his April 22nd date with Judge Engoron over the shady bond in his fraud trial? He needs to schedule his crimes better.

As we get our popcorn ready and survey our scorecards, just a reminder that the facts of this case are where the appellation “Individual 1” comes from.

I imagine he will say the same thing after he is found guilty of a felony…“Totally clears the President. Thank you!

Always remember they didn’t drag him into court to interfere with his presidential campaign, he decided to launch a presidential campaign to interfere with the trial.

And he’d be right. President Biden would not be convicted there.

I don’t think he’s required to attend the bond hearing.

It’s like his brain is stuck on repeat. He’ll be giving jailhouse interviews a year from now where he claims everything went according to plan and he’s been completely exonerated. Right before he turns around and picks up his dirty clothes and waddles toward the prison laundry.
