Nice reference to The Proud Boys. Whatever happened to them?
Why aren't they outside the New York courthouse? Oh right, they are in prison for assaults to police.

During the #TrumpTrial questioning of Michael Cohen they are talking about his relationships with reporters. But will they bring up how Cohen threatened former Daily Beast reporter Tim Mak on Trump's behalf regarding a story about Trump raping his first wife as revealed in their divorce papers.

Here is the audio from June 1, 2018 on the Majority Report

Here's my contemporaneous piece on the use of threats by #Trump & #Cohen.

This morning Trump was asked about his surrogates,
"I do have a lot of surrogates and they are speaking very beautifully and they come all from from all over Washington and they're highly respected and they think this is the greatest scam they've ever seen and some are Democrats they're very embarrassed by what's going on."

Later #MikeJohnson talked about Judge Merchan's daughter.

Johnson is a lawyer & Speaker of the House. He knows exactly what he is doing.

I got myself a new mouse as a birthday present. The strain on my hand & arm from #VideoEditing got so bad I had to stop for a few days. I know bunch of keyboard shortcuts for #PremierePro (CC 2018), but still do a lot of mousing.
I read some reviews, like this: https://www.xda-developers.com/reasons-logitech-mx-master-3-king-mice/ @xdadevelopers
So got the Logitech Master MX 3s. It integrates with Premiere Pro, has a horizontal thumb scroll wheel & I can create custom macros but there's little info on what & HOW to make them. Help.

“One of the most persistent lies about the Capitol attack — often made by Republican politicians and right-wing media figures — is that none of the hundreds of rioters who stormed the building had guns.” Alan Feuer NYT

Others who had guns, were convicted & sent to prison:

...At 2:14 p.m., Trump walks in, entourage in tow.

Boris Epshteyn just handed a piece of paper with a photo on it to Kaitlan Collins.

I thought he maybe said "Conway" to her, but I'm not exactly sure.

"MEANWHILE, AT THE PRETTYMAN FEDERAL COURTHOUSE IN DC:

John Banuelos, the Trump enthusiast who fired the first shots at the Capitol on Jan. 6, is making his initial appearance virtually, from jail." @ryanjreilly

BREAKING: A Trump fanatic who fired two gunshots during the Jan. 6 Capitol attack is in custody.
Sedition Hunters IDed him three years ago.
NBC News named him two years ago.
Last month, another #J6 rioter published footage of the gunshots.
Now he's been arrested & charged.

Trump enters the courtroom. Before arriving, he lingered for a moment in the doorway, talking to his lawyers, Emile Bove and Todd Blanche. He had a piece of paper in his hand, which he waved around as he spoke.

From Kaitlan Collins
Notable moment in court today where the judge told the defense he could hear Trump cursing:

Judge Merchan: "I understand that your client is upset at this point, but he is cursing audibly, and he is shaking his head visually and that's contemptuous...I am speaking to you here at the bench because I don't want to embarrass him."

Justice Merchan called #Trump’s lawyer to a sidebar to say Trump was “cursing audibly” & possibly intimidating Daniels... “I understand your client is upset at this pt, but he is cursing audibly & shaking his head visually & that’s contemptuous. It has the potential to intimidate the witness & the jury can see that...I am speaking to you here at the bench because I don’t want to embarrass him. You need to speak to him. I won’t tolerate that.” #TrumpTrial

Necheles rises to renew Trump's objection to Daniels testifying about any "sexual details," which she says has no relevance and is prejudicial.
By details, Merchan asks, more than just "we had sex"? Yes, Necheles says.

Trump's a lying coward. He didn't break the #GagOrder today that I know of. He made a point of avoiding it, in fact... so far.

If he were really willing to be a martyr, he would have made sure he was in jail by now by bashing the jury. He's doing this to rile up his base, but he does NOT want to be in jail.
