So we'll likely never know.

And, obviously, Smartmatic wasn't required to accept this settlement. But risks, costs, etc., likely made it grumbably agree to confidentiality as a term.

Last night, on MSNBC, Stephanie Ruhle was making the argument that TFG will get most of those 21.5 million shares for nothing and that, therefore, even at the rock-bottom prices the stock is selling for, it is "found money" as she put it. It cost him nothing and will generate millions if ...

Considered that, Bob. Haven't paid attention to Young Turks in a long time, but during the Birther Age, they were allies. Suppose there was a PAC called "The Larry Fund," its mission was the betterment of attorneys named Larry, and its founder was Larry Klayman. I would conclude it is jus...

Donald Trump's lawyers told the court that former president changed his mind about wanting to be at sidebars. He signed a form waiving his right to do so and confirmed that audibly to Judge Juan Merchan answering, "yes." This is not surprising, as sidebars tend to be about objections. So ...

Correct: this is from 2019, after the defendant mocked her for dropping out of the primary.

Donald Trump’s decision to attend sidebars with the judge and attorneys as jury selection in the hush money trial against him gets underway suggests the former president is very involved in his defense, CNN correspondents say. :roll: It is fairly common, especially during jury selection. That's pre...

Or: ... his well-documented "executive time" until noon indicates he's not a morning person.

Plump does not have to be there for Jury Selection, right? In criminal trials, generally speaking, defendants are required to be at every day of the trial, unless they expressly waive their right to be there, and the judge grants that request. (Disruptive defendants may be nonconsensually removed.)...

There will be conditions of probation. I never practiced criminal law, but I believe that if he violates conditions, he can be hauled off to jail without the need for a hearing. If probation violations are alleged, there will be a hearing to adjudicate the allegations. (The standard of proof is les...

Three E-5's and an E-3 with no ribbons or medals, no rifle or pistol qualification badges.

Alvin Bragg, DA? He was elected a couple of years ago by the people.

Correct.

Soros pays to rig elections.

When deciding on matters of geopolitical importance, the president listens to, not to his advisors and the nation's allies, but his vanquished rival's moribund web site.

Um... Mark Milley could not have deployed any troops. The Chair of the Joint Chiefs is not in the chain of command. The command goes from POTUS through the Secretary of Defense and then to the appropriate unified combatant commander. While the Chair may well transmit communications and allocate res...

Seriously, while it is not a crime to modify currency in that way, don't such extensive modifications render it no longer legal tender? If it is no longer recognizable as a genuine $2 bill, is it still legal tender? It is only illegal if done fraudulently. If you alter your own currency and post it...

Yes, but weren't the payments adjudicated to have been made, back in the Michael Cohen trial? So, legally, can he deny them in this trial? What happened at Cohen's trial has no preclusive effect on his trial. And one of his defenses is that Cohen is a liar. More basically, it is the prosecutor's bu...

There is no question that he slept with her. There is no question that he paid her to keep quiet about it. The defendant has repeatedly and explicitly denied both of these allegations.
