"Trump’s Defense Cast Michael Cohen as Untrustworthy"

Trump trusted him for, what, 10 years?

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.

At 2:35 p.m. we have audio again, but still no video, and we hear Merchan say "Thank you, please be seated."

Merchan welcomes the jurors and starts by apologizing for how chilly it is in the courtroom.

Video is back on, and both sides are seated in the same seats as this morning

Merchan proceeds to read the boilerplate instructions for voir dire. Reminder: 30 mins per side

Trump is sitting at the defense table, with Todd Blanche at his right and Emil Bove at his left, plus Susan Necheles at the far left.

🤦🏻‍♀️🙄 “Exceeded his authority..,”

“Lawyers for have filed another appeal in the hush money/interference case to challenge the trial’s judge’s order denying him from arguing he has presidential immunity.

Trump’s attorneys also challenging Judge Juan Merchan’s “refusal” to recuse himself from the trial and a previous ruling related to how dockets are made publicly.”

I worked for a micromanager. They are deeply insecure, know they're in over their heads, and they think micromanaging makes them look like they are in control.

What is actually shows is their deep insecurity about their competence, and their fear of being found out.

She is in way over her head and everything she's done demonstrates her insecurity about her incompetence.

@GottaLaff Oh holy hell, I have a finite amount of patience and today's quota ran out with the very first sentence:

"From 1789 to 2023, no former, or current, President faced criminal charges for his official acts—for good reason."

Yeah, for good reason, because no president ever fomented a coup to illegally stay in power.

Some days I just can't. Today is one of those days.

@GottaLaff Sadow is saying Wade and Willis lied and the judge is pushing back, saying essentially where's the burden of proof here?

Sadow is losing. All he has is innuendo, not proof.

MsMissy,
@MsMissy@mastodon.world avatar

@GottaLaff When asked by McAfree what about Willis' church speech "crossed the line," Gillen can't come up with anything much.

Again, where's the burden of proof? This is all speculation.

MsMissy,
@MsMissy@mastodon.world avatar

@GottaLaff Wow. Lawyer after lawyer with nothing but speculation and innuendo. So far they have ALL failed to cite one solid piece of evidence for any of their speculation.

Even the emails/texts from Mr. Bradley to Ms. Merchant don't prove anything but gossip.

@GottaLaff You can't accept gifts from outsiders that may influence legal decisions. This is more like two co-workers going out to lunch and one pays for the other's lunch, then the next day they switch. Sheesh.

Via Anna Bower:

As Judge McAfee mulls whether to disqualify , prosecutors move to file an affidavit of Stanley Brody, a CA winery employee

Brody says he recalls Willis paying more than $400 in cash for wine tasting in Napa Valley last yr

https://documentcloud.org/documents/24451044-state-supplemental-exhibit-winery-affiant

Brody's affidavit, if admitted for consideration by Judge, cd help corroborate Willis's testimony that she tends to carry cash--& that she used cash to reimburse Wade for trips he booked on his credit card

MsMissy,
@MsMissy@mastodon.world avatar

@GottaLaff There's another hearing on this? The entire thing is a waste of time. Two prosecutors on the same side having a romantic relationship does not create a conflict of interest. I'm beyond disgusted that McAfee even entertained it in the first place, let alone has entertained it for so long.

@GottaLaff I think they won't give us the ruling until their term ends in June. This does not appear to be on an expedited schedule.
