Alright, who’s ready to see #Trump get his just deserts? He fucked up the whole damn world & that’s not an overstatement.
PS #BabySquirrel & I had a lovely weekend. It’s as boy! (He’s developed discernible - stuff)
He is doing quite well! Name: “Ramone” because he’s a sweet little punk rocker.
Colangelo describes some NE headlines that helped Trump's 2016 #campaign, embarrassing campaign opponents incl’g #TedCruz & #MarcoRubio.
Prosecutors are limited to the HEADLINES per #Sandoval. They go to Trump’s #intent: to #influence the election by promoting negative stories about others & suppressing those about himself.
#Bove asks #Pecker to describe the negative stories that The #NationalEnquirer ran about #Trump's 2016 #Republican opponents, #BenCarson, #MarcoRubio & #TedCruz. He argues, as he did yesterday, that it was standard operating procedure to run articles like these, in which The NE reran previously reported content. Bove is still trying to convince the #jury that Pecker didn't have some special arrangement w/Trump: Instead, his publication was doing what it had always done.
#MichaelCohen describes the negative stories about Trump's #GOP primary rivals The #NationalEnquirer printed. Some of the smears were directed at #MarcoRubio, the #Florida senator who is currently a top contender to be #Trump's running mate.
Cohen says that he "immediately showed" such material to Trump, who would greet it with praise like "fantastic, unbelievable."
Prosecutors in Trump’s #criminal trial say he has violated a #GagOrder barring him from attacking #witnesses, #jurors & others close to the case. Testimony is set to resume later Tuesday morning.
Pecker was being asked about an infamous #NationalEnquirer story linking Cruz's father to the JFK assassination. He said it originated w/ #DylanHoward, The Enquirer's editor.
Twelve US Senators, including #MitchMcConnell, #TomCotton, #MarcoRubio risk having arrest warrants issued against them under Article 70 of the #RomeStatute [1], since they have made threats against the #InternationalCriminalCourt [2]. The Senators risk (in principle) prison terms in The Hague of up to five years [1].
#GOP says no need for new #immigration laws. That’s not what it used to say.
#Republicans are sandwiched between what many of their #Senate GOP colleagues say is a critical opportunity to pass #conservative#border#legislation & the #political wishes of a former president who seems to view the crisis as a boon to his 2024 campaign.
& increasingly, they’ve landed on a talking point: We don’t really even need new #laws.
•“We don’t need new laws — we just need a president who enforces the laws we already have,” #KristiNoem said.
•“We don’t need a new #law to secure the #border; this crisis would end instantly if Biden just fully reinstated the Trump policies,” Sen #MarcoRubio said.
•“We don’t need a new bill; we need something to get Biden to enforce the law,” Sen #RickScott said. #immigration#Politics#exploitation
Why did Marco Rubio—who sits on the senate intelligence committee—take at least $1.5 MILLION from Len Blavatnik, an oligarch who has burrowed into America?
Not to say that #Trump is 100% innocent BTW, if #JoeBiden should be prosecuted for illegally having classified documents, so should #Trump. It goes both ways.
