During a break in the trial, Trump vented his anger, saying, “The government lied… They didn’t reveal all the evidence that made me totally innocent of anything that they say.”
So your defense attorneys certainly will, right? And you'll be completely exonerated, right?
No, because the Derp State is going to hide all the evidence so Trump's lawyers can't release the information. The only other person who has the info is Trump's Canadian girlfriend, you've never met her since she goes to a different school.
His defense lawyers are part of the deep state, which is why he won't be paying them.
oh. sure. that's why trump won't be paying his bills....
I've been reliably informed that any other explanation is fake news from the lying media.
I mean, if such evidence exists, his defense would already have it from the prosecutors due to laws that require prosecutors to turn over any exculpatory evidence.
So, his lawyers better hurry up and exonerate him, because that millstone of justice is grinding ever closer. 🍿
The fact that she was charged with contempt of court but trump hasn’t is mind boggling. The fact that he can disrupt the proceedings and use the courthouse to incite his robotic army of violent morons is mind boggling. What the fuck is going on here?
What the fuck is going on here?
Death by a thousand cuts.
I listen to Serious Trouble, a legal podcast that likes political things. One of the things I've learned is that there's two types of contempt of court: stuff that happens in front of the judge and stuff that doesn't. If it happens in front of the judge, the judge can act on it pretty much immediately. If it doesn't happen in front of the judge, they have to investigate.
He interrupted a testimony in progress. Seems like the judge would be able to see him just fine
That's a planned circus. I bet he wants to be held in contempt, I bet there's a ploy there. And I bet the judge knows it, sees through it and is biding back, because of it.
Slow coup in progress tbqfh
Two-tiered "justice" system in action. Glad you finally saw it.
Fuckin' Cult 45ists just can't help themselves.
They walk amongst us.
Sus
"A negative outcome in the trial may mark the downfall of his real estate business."
What's the negative here? Seems like just an outcome to me. Shady business leaders do shady things, get caught, get shut down. Natural consequence.
Fucking trumpanzee just lost her jeerb for fat fuck lmao.
What a fucking circus; organised chaos.
"They didn’t reveal all the evidence that made me totally innocent of anything that they say"
Emphasis mine, but that's an interesting choice of words. Usually someone would say the evidence shows or demonstrates they're innocent. Or they might accuse the others of withholding or hiding evidence. But "made" sounds a lot like there was manipulated or manufactured information Trump was hoping that the case would rely on.
Perhaps he's just referring to his "you can't charge me, the President is immune to that" line or the cherry-picked property valuations. But it feels suspicious as all get-out.
For some reason, this reminds me of “The Royal Tennenbaums” when Royal is exposed for faking his cancer and he turns to his son and tries to convince him that it is a good thing because now he’s not going to die.
He basically talks like a third-grader, so I wouldn't look at the choice in words like a smart person.
That said, if there is truly exculpatory evidence it would be given in discovery and can be discussed with witnesses on cross-examination. If there is actual evidence being hidden, I can't imagine the judge or prosecutor would want to be associated with an appeal so basic.
It was this woman, wasn’t it,..
Is this the MAGA version of "leave Brittany alone"?
No, Chris Crocker was in the right. Trump and his supporters are not.
