Was this testimony part of his previous plea deal? What happens if he’s convicted of perjury for testimony that he gave as part of a plea deal? Are there conditions on those deals? Confusing levels of criminality.

So Willis has now admitted that she’s had an affair with a prosecutor that she appointed in the Trump case in Georgia. Of course the Trump team claims that this is somehow harmful to him are ridiculous (if she had really hired a less-qualified prosecutor due to a personal relationship that would actually help his legal team, not hurt it) but it’s still disappointing that she didn’t make better choices, especially for such an important, high-profile case.
And now the clowns in the House are subpoenaing her for B.S. reasons. They would definitely do that anyway, but there was no need to hand them any real improprieties to talk about.

This is fucking bullshit. There is no justice in this country anymore.

In North Carolina, Cawthorn filed a counter suit in federal court seeking to get the case against him tossed by arguing that Section 3 was meant to only disqualify ex-Confederates following the Civil War and should not be applied to future insurrections or rebellions. After an initial win for Cawthorn, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals ultimately found against him, ruling that Section 3 continues to apply to those engaged in modern insurrection or rebellion.
Similarly, Greene sued in federal court to get the case against her dismissed. A district court judge rejected many of her arguments, ruling that states can adjudicate Section 3 disqualifications, her constitutional rights were not violated, a criminal conviction is not necessary for disqualification, speech acts can constitute participation in an insurrection, and that the Amnesty Act of 1872 that removed Section 3 disqualification from most ex-Confederates did not apply to participants in the events of Jan. 6.

Importantly, the judge noted that Weisselberg’s lies could be used to completely toss out everything he said in defense of the company—and even allow the judge to make negative inferences about the Trump Organization’s fraudulent conduct.
“Although the Times article focuses on the size of the Trump Tower Penthouse, his testimony on other topics could also be called into question. I also may use this as a basis to invoke falsus in uno,” the judge wrote, referencing the maxim “false in one thing, false in everything.”
“I do not want to ignore anything in a case of this magnitude,” he warned.
Trump’s lawyers have until 5 p.m. Wednesday to respond.

Now Trump is in even more trouble.
Seems like he’s been flailing on the edge of The Precipice of Doom for at least a year now.
Is he EVER going to fall in?
