Transcripts from yesterday afternoon's fiasco with Costello. We'll see if he behaves better today. If he doesn't, well, hope he brought a toothbrush IMO.
To all the legal nerds about to read this in-the-weeds article about the finer points of New York criminal law in full right now: Welcome.![]()
What Must Prosecutors Prove in Trump’s NY Trial?
Some in-the-weeds questions on which the New York Trump trial depends.www.lawfaremedia.org
To everyone reading this three or four weeks from now, panic-Googling the essential questions we’ve attempted to answer as the jury gets ready to deliver its verdict: We’re glad you finally made it.
And to everyone else: Bookmark this page. You may well want to have it handy as we head toward closing arguments and Justice Juan Merchan issues instructions to the jury regarding what the elements of the charged offenses are. The answers to such questions will only grow in importance in the weeks to come. —
Thank you Leilei….. and not being critical….. just wondering……. In some reports it seemed the Judge during admonishing the witness Mr. Costello and defense counsel on the witness testimony / conduct indicated IIRC the court would ‘strike all his (i. e. RC) testimony’?Transcripts from yesterday afternoon's fiasco with Costello. We'll see if he behaves better today. If he doesn't, well, hope he brought a toothbrush IMO.
If Trump takes the stand I am Queen Elizabeth in disguise-- he will not take the stand- that is a given3. One wild card is whether Trump might choose to take the stand in his own defense, as is his right. Color me skeptical.The defense said yesterday that it expected to rest its case today, suggesting that Trump will not testify.
It did make it into the transcript.Thank you Leilei….. and not being critical….. just wondering…….

Did that appear or make it into the transcript? MOO
All of the complaining about being gagged. This is his chance to speak. He won't do it, though. His attorneys would be crazy to allow it IMO.3.

I am annoyed with all the pundits, some of whom, well most of whom, get big bucks to understand this case and the defendant: Some of them actually opined yesterday that Trump might testify. I am annoyed because that demonstrates they really do not understand Trump at all. There was no way he would testify in this case. You don't have to be Jean Dixon to know that.All of the complaining about being gagged. This is his chance to speak. He won't do it, though. His attorneys would be crazy to allow it IMO.
Well, that’s the funniest thing Joe Piscopo has ever done.A series of notable guests will join Trump in court today, including: Don Jr. (as we first reported), fmr acting AG Matt Whitaker, fmr FL AG Pam Bondi, Sebastian Gorka & a series of congressmen Also: Former president of the Hells Angel gang Chuck Zito & comedian Joe Piscopo
I had to go to IMDB and look him up, because I haven't heard about him in many years lol.Well, that’s the funniest thing Joe Piscopo has ever done.
I also had to look him up. I don't think this will be the career boost he might have hoped for. IMOI had to go to IMDB and look him up, because I haven't heard about him in many years lol.
I have hope that they will look at the facts. Although I can see why some might want them to look at the big picture. The facts that i’ve seen don’t lead to a felony conviction. imhoWell,let's hope they have the common sense to see the big picture
