One thing I still don't quite understand: If Trump was understating the value of his assets to the taxman (to reduce his tax liability) and simultaneously overstating their value to his lenders (to increase the amount he could borrow), it seems vanishingly unlikely that Trump himself would have bee...

Apologies. I looked in the wrong place.

Creating a new topic for this. Day 3 of jury selection is underway. Video here:

As a criminal defense attorney, may I suggest a simple solution? If you don't want to be tried by "prejudiced" (read: "non-white") DC residents, perhaps try not committing crimes within the District of Columbia.

Barnett's math skills are poor. May 4 is 2 months away, not one. Small quibble: His complaint about pushing it out a month every time was made before the judge scheduled the next hearing for May 4. Not that a federal district judge would purposely do something like, "Oh, you didn't like when I...
