#Georgia appeals court pauses lower-court proceedings in #Trump #ElectionInterference #RICO case

The order, issued by the full appeals court, means the case against #Trump & his co-defendants, accusing them of a #criminal #conspiracy to try to overturn his defeat in the state, will almost certainly not be scheduled for trial before the fall #election or even the new year. It remains unclear if the case against the 6 remaining co-defendants who did not sign onto the appeal will proceed.

It’s extremely important to make clear what Trump is guilty of.

Hush money to a porn star is a small part of it.

He committed fraud for financial and political gain with the intention to commit election interference.

It’s about what he did to try to steal the 2016 election. It’s about how he shouldn’t even have sat in that office in the first place.

Steinglass says while the phrase may not have been used much during the trial, the practice was exactly what had been agreed to, & argues that suppressing those stories amounted to committing a on American voters, pulling the wool over their eyes “in a coordinated fashion.”

#Steinglass notes that while NDAs are not inherently #criminal, but they are “indeed illegal when they serve an unlawful purpose.”

#Trump atty #Blanche barely stitched together a story, but tried to distance Trump from the documents & ended by attacking #MichaelCohen.

Steinglass tells a sweeping narrative about a #fraud on the American people, & argues that Americans had the right to determine if they cared that Trump slept w/a porn star while his wife was home w/their new baby.

Just looked at my bank account to realize that a company called "Remitly", which is a money transfer company, has taken $500 from my account, yet I have never heard of them until today.

Debit card has been cancelled, stop payment put into place and I should have my money back within 10 days.

Of course this happens right before we go on vacation this Thursday.

Not illegal tho? 🤞

After having people's cash for empty promises - what can these "consumers" do about it?

#TrumpTrial 🧵 Thursday 16 May 2024

Cross-examination of #MichaelCohen resumes, an opportunity for the defense to poke holes in his testimony & perhaps trip up or provoke the state’s key witness. The questioning of Cohen, #Trump’s fmr fixer, is the beginning of the end of Trump’s #criminal trial, which began April 15 & might conclude before Memorial Day weekend at this pace.

notes that said under oath that he accepted responsibility & then later undermined that outside of court. (Something constantly does)

A similar tack tripped Cohen up when he was questioned about his federal guilty pleas at Trump’s trial. He was led into saying he had lied about one of the pleas itself. But earlier in the trial he clarified that he thought he had not been charged,but was not objecting to the underlying facts

Nonilex,
@Nonilex@masto.ai avatar

#Blanche is using #MichaelCohen’s claims of widespread corruption — in which Cohen has accused not just Manhattan federal prosecutors but the judge in his case of being out to get him — against him. He is also using his previous testimony that he didn’t commit the #crimes to which he pleaded against him.

Blanche finally arrives at the moment that prosecutors sought to prep the jury for: That Cohen said under oath at #Trump's civil #fraud trial he had lied to a federal judge.
