Bragg Manhattan DA charges tfg? Hush money. tfg “INDICATED!”

But maybe they will try again because reasons (which is pronounced, "delay"). What is the prosecutor's misconduct? It's very simple. They're prosecuting him. That's misconduct. :fingerwag: Federal officer removal does not, in fact, delay an underlying state court prosecution. 28 U.S.C. § ...

It's apparently SOP to have a work party ready at the bow to drop anchors in case of engine failure. I've read that the Dali did this, and fact was able to drop one anchor, although evidently not in time to avert the collision. Looking at the tangle of bridge structure draped over the bow, I wonder ...

State of New York vs Trump, et al - the civil fraud case against the Trump Organization

So, about the order partly granting Trump's stay application: meh. I'm not surprised, and only slightly disappointed. (i) It's notable that Trump offered to post a $100 Million bond without disclosing his cash position or the amount of equity available for raising additional funds. I'm a smidge disa...

Bragg Manhattan DA charges tfg? Hush money. tfg “INDICATED!”

I don't think so. The production of large numbers of documents on the eve of trial would be a potential appeal point. Judge Merchan gave Trump's lawyers a little extra time to review the new material, and made a thorough record that supports his ruling rejecting Trump's arguments for dismissal or ot...

Ordinarily, between 1-2 years. The First Department might expedite this appeal somewhat. OTOH, the record is voluminous, and the court has a crushing workload.
