Trump has now started attacking Judge Engoran's wife, claiming that she owned a twitter/X account that was making anti Trump posts. (Untruthfully, and with no evidence to support this claim.) This was after Judge Engoran's quite relaxed gag order was reinstated. (Don't attack my staff. It's dangerous and unnecessary)
The disgorgement after the New York fraud charges will clearly be much higher that the costs of even this prolonged trial, and the dissolution of Trump company's, wealth, and exposure as less than successful than he had previously insisted upon are considerable bonuses, if intent and materiality of the, (already established/agreed about), persistent frauds are proven.
Jack Smith has been watching the New York gag order appeal, and citing Trump's attacks on Judge Engoren's wife in his own efforts to achieve and effective gag order in his State.
Trump is long past getting away with his behaviour. He is, in fact, madly digging his own hole deeper.
That the GOP are mostly supporting him blows my mind. I do not claim to be sophisticated politically, but this is a person who is clearly not fit for the job until his legal situation is at least resolved further. I actually think the sexual assualt and fraud convictions are already sufficiant threshold level for no future Presidency for him. I respect that other people might not agree with me about that, but really, they are seeing what we are seeing, and more, and this is who they want to make President?
