HP is missing out on header innuendo: BREAKING: Trump Partially Gagged By Judge Chutkan
Crosspost because
Stall tactic?
I just saw that. The terms of her plea deal require her to testify in future trials. In other words, she’s cooperating. Trump is fuuuuuuuuuuucked.
Cheese Bro next!
Oh wait, he’s passed on the same offer.
(Only I hope not in the sad, ironic sense he always used this…)
So Trump may soon have to decide whether he’s going to make an “I just followed the advice of counsel” defense or whether he wants to maintain his attorney-client privilege. But he can’t do both at the same time.
Trump is the bus.
And he has reason to believe that he can always get new lawyers.
So …
Engoron speaks…
“Despite this clear order, last night I learned that the subject offending post was never removed from [the Trump’s campaign website], in fact had been on that website for the past 17 days,” Engoron said.
The judge said he was considering holding Trump in contempt of court, fining him, or “possibly imprisoning him.”
Engoron, who did not immediately resolve the issue, said, “I will take this under advisement, but I want to make clear that Donald Trump is still responsible for the large machine, even if it is a large machine.”
Lock him up!
Chesebro reaches a plea deal with Georgia prosecutors.
Just saw that! Il Douche has got to be throwing the ketchup now.
ETA:
Chesebro will plead guilty to a single felony charge of conspiracy to commit filing of false documents and receive five years’ probation and a $5,000 fine, in exchange for agreeing to testify and provide documents and evidence.
A felony conviction should end his legal career, yes?
In most states felony conviction doesn’t automatically mean a person cannot practice law, but his career is still unlikely to recover from this debacle. Like Sidney Powell he has both proven himself incredibly incompetent and also alienated virtually everyone on both the left (by aligning himself with a bunch of right-wing insurrectionists) and the right (by betraying MAGA with this plea deal).
Hard to imagine many clients beating a path to his door moving forward.
Court adjourns for day without gag order ruling
Awwwwwww. I was looking forward to some good trump-in-jail celebration tonight.
