The fact that we are now hearing from reporter after reporter in the courtroom, coming out to tell us what happened underscores the need for public access to video of the trial. #CamerasInTheCourts .

It's driving Trump crazy that so few of his supporters have shown up at or near the courthouse in NYC. He's taken to making the excuse that the NYC Police has the place locked down, but there's plenty of room for protesting, self-immolating, etc. He's also taken up the call for

The Prosecution's Opening:

'This case is about a criminal conspiracy. Trump orchestrated a criminal scheme to corrupt the 2016 presidential election. Then he covered up that criminal conspiracy by lying in his NY business records over and over and over again.'

The Shallow State He also claimed during that ramble that he had the 'cash', which of course, if he did, he would not have needed help with a bond.

If there is one thing he is MOST hopelessly unable to tell to the truth about, it's money.

The more Trump is forced to make false statements that will even be questioned by some nitwits, the better. This morning, he spoke to the $175M bond by saying he put up $175M in cash, but 'she' (AJ James) doesn't like the bonding company.

When I was young and first started getting into politics, I saw the Republican Party as my biggest ally.

I wanted a smaller government, balanced budgets, more liberty for all, free markets, and the defense of the Constitution.

Bill Maher: “This trial is really getting to Donald Trump. He has to sit there for hours without saying anything…kind of like he did on January 6th.”

When right wing pundits like Tucker Carlson and Candace Owens start going down the following paths:

- 9/11 was an inside job

They are no longer useful to the conservative movement.

They are pandering to

• Roadmaps: Openings are supposed to be a roadmap for the jury to get an idea of your anticipated evidence and witnesses. I’ll be listening carefully to hear what “the evidence will show” and who will be called to the stand and how it’ll be presented. To be clear, this doesn’t

• Themes: I cannot stress this enough. Themes are *so important* because they give the jury something to relate to/connect with when listening to the evidence and it helps jurors follow your theory of the case.

Let’s say you’re the prosecution and you’ve got a murder case and

I don't know what Judge Merchan is going to do in Tuesday's gag order violation hearing. I don't know what I would do in his place. I've heard that prosecutors are only asking for a modest fine but are also asking for a stern warning that uses the word jail. (As I used to say,

Tuesday is going to be LIT!

As Michael Steele correctly pointed out moments ago, not a single member of the Trump family has yet to attend his criminal trial.
Even the Manson family came to show support for Charlie.

Here’s a tip:
