That’s my feeling. It’s common (in Canadian law, anyway) for an accused released on a recognizance, to have a number of conditions attached. Keeping quiet, especially when it comes to threats and intimidation can be among them, if the situation warrants.
Donald Trump jr. needs to be hauled in pronto for trying to intimidate a judge by posting pictures of his family.
This is a mob tactic. We don’t tolerate it from generic mobsters - we should not tolerate it from Trump mobsters.
I spun a fantasy four years ago of him sitting in a prison cell contemplating how he could have continued grifting the rest of his life – a couple hundred-thousand here, a million there – and remained under the radar but he had to take that escalator down which let him ride high for a while, then wind up there.
58 minutes in the courtroom. prosecutors entered social media posts into the record.
asked that trump would not be able to speak to discovery.
judge told lawyers to caution clients regarding inflammatory language. judge will keep watch over this issue.
the indictment is out 16 pages.
next hearing in december, possible trial in jan.
By “manage damage control”, I think you mean “Intimidate the judge by posting pictures of his daughter.”
So, can junior be charged for that? Because it seems pretty eggregious.
The indictment:
That’s the translation from Trumpspeak, yes. 
CNN right now (3:40 PM, EDT): Trump’s lawyers’ press conference.
Trump’s lawyers interviewed now. God, can Tapioca look and act any more like a Mafiosi mouthpiece?
CNN also reporting that a statement of facts was also filed. Clearly tied to the election laws as crimes that elevated false business records to a felony.
Thank you. I was trying to figure out how best to describe it, and you nailed it.
Indictment:
Statement of facts:
Brian
Thank you!
Thanks, Brian
He has to keep his mouth closed that long?
Can anyone summarize the PDFs for lay people?
I’m not even going to try to read that much legalese.
I’ll add my thanks also, Brian. Reading through the Statement of Facts now …
From 538 (Kaleigh Rogers)
The indictment lays out each of the 34 counts of falsifying business records that Trump has been charged with. Basically, every time Trump made a payment to Cohen — allegedly to reimburse him for the hush money paid to Daniels — the check itself, the invoice from Cohen and the record in the company ledger is considered a separate count, where Trump is alleged to have illegally disguised the payment as a retainer fee, instead of reimbursement.
Nevermind and thank you.
