Shad Riley sent the 4/23 transcript to Matt Cameron via a google drive. I've asked Matt to post it on twitter.

I understand the risk to the defense of having a transcribed sidebar. But if it’s not transcribed and the defense wants to complain about something on appeal, the government would likely be screaming about waiver.bob wrote: ↑Wed Apr 24, 2024 7:19 pmIf there's a chance to correct/augment the record, appellate counsel may be able to marshal a better "recollection" of what occurred at sidebar than what actually occurred at sidebar. Even if there's isn't correction/augmentation, appellate counsel could pitch an inference of what was said (even if it actually wasn't).
Whereas if the transcribed sidebar shows trial counsel whiffing, appellate counsel can only make so much lemonade (on appeal; the whiffing may be fodder for IAC).
I just don’t understand how untranscribed sidebars in criminal trials where issues are decided affecting the rights of the defendant comports with the Fifth Amendment right to due process and the Sixth Amendment right to a public trial. I’m sure people smarter and more experienced than I am have thought all of this through, but it strikes me as fundamentally unfair.
As I’ve mentioned, we didn’t have this in the military - they’d send the jury out and talk about the issue in open court. That’s why this strikes me as so strange.

Prosecutors argue that Trump violated the gag order four more times, including this morning https://politico.com/live-updates/2024/ ... r-00154305 via
@politico
In his courthouse remarks, Conroy said, Trump has continued to attack his former lawyer Michael Cohen, who is set to testify. Conroy also said Trump made remarks at his event about former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker, who is now testifying in the criminal trial. “He’s been very nice,” Trump said, according to Conroy. “David’s been very nice, a nice guy.”
Conroy told the judge: “This is a message to Pecker: Be nice. It’s a message to others: I have a platform and I can talk about you and I can say things like this, or I can say things like I said about Cohen.

I heard a suggestion (I think Neil Katayal) on MSNBC the other day who suggested the judge should give him a jail sentence, suspended until after the trial. I've since seen a few others propose this. A decision would be made later about whether to enforce it or not.

I agree. Sending him to Rikers would make him a martyr. I have also read there are other facilities in NYC that are not exactly jails that could house him.zekeb wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2024 12:08 pmTo me 30 days house arrest in the NY building that he's so proud of would suffice.

Or confine him with an ankle bracelet and forbid using the internet.
He'll complain that he can't campaign, but other people on home confinement can't go to their jobs, either. A salesman can't make sales calls in person. A waitress can't wait tables at a restaurant.

Something interesting and new to me anyway is that Pecker started getting cold feet on paying directly for the catch and kills after he spoke with a campaign attorney when the Karen McDougal payoff came up. He was probably told that he was getting into dangerous territory with the campaign finance laws. So when Stormy Daniels came on Pecker's radar Cohen had to handle it directly with the loans and shell company on behalf of Trump.

"We committed a campaign violation": Pecker says he was worried after receiving letters from the FEC
Pecker recalled a conversation that he and Cohen had about letters from the Federal Election Commission in 2018.
Pecker said, "We committed a campaign violation."
He testified that he was worried, but Cohen said he was not, telling Pecker: "Jeff Sessions is the attorney general and Donald Trump has him in his pocket."

Sounds like a good idea, until one remembers that he regularly ignores court orders to STFU completely.Rolodex wrote: ↑Thu Apr 25, 2024 12:31 pm Or confine him with an ankle bracelet and forbid using the internet.

The only way to stop him is to put him in a position where it is physically impossible for him to continue: i.e. jail.
One risk of jailing him that I can see? If the judge were to jail him, his lawyers would be at the appeals court before the ink was dry on the order, asking that the contempt citation be vacated. If that were to happen, any slight inhibitions that the Mango Mussolini might have about attacking judges, witnesses or their families would completely disappear. He would attack with more vigor than ever. He would take such a ruling as a complete vindication and a license to attack at will.
All that being said, I don't think that the judge should capitulate to TFG, for fear that it would make him a martyr or that he might redouble his attacks. Someone must stand up to him.

I wonder just how much Merchan and others also seriously worry about flat out being attacked or killed by a follower of the stochastic terrorist.
