Court personnel is now on the phone to determine whether they can engineer another set up for the Trump team’s comfort.

But I thought COVID was a hoax. They play both sides so well. Disgusting.

Love the Judges response.

maybe the defense team should use bleach? Or possibly ultraviolet light?

“We tested bleach,” he said at one point. “I can tell you that bleach will kill the virus in five minutes.”

“A question that probably some of you are thinking of if you’re totally into that world,” Trump began, clearly thinking the question himself, “So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous — whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light — and I think you said that that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it. And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way, and I think you said you’re going to test that, too. It sounds interesting. And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs, and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that.”
It’s been exactly one year since Trump suggested injecting bleach. We’ve never been the same.

This just in, the AG's office responds to Trump attys' Covid objection: "As always, the Attorney General’s Office has followed and complied with CDC guidelines. Our office properly notified the court and defendants’ counsel, and the court decided to proceed with trial today."

Continued, "If there were any concerns, defendants’ counsel could wear masks today or at any point, but they have opted not to.” Indeed, I don't see Trump or any of his attorneys wearing a mask. However, I don't have a good view of all of them right now.

Well, I feel about vaccines like I feel about tests. This is going to go away without a vaccine. It’s going to go away, and it’s — we’re not going to see it again, hopefully, after a period of time. You may have some — some flare-ups and I guess, you know, I would expect that. Sometime in the fall, you’ll have flare-ups maybe. Maybe not. But according to what a lot of people say, you probably will. We’ll be able to put them out. You may have some flare-ups next year, but eventually, it’s going to be gone. I mean, it’s going to be gone.

Even without the vaccine, the pandemic’s going to end. It’s gonna run its course. It’s gonna end. They’ll go crazy. He said ‘without the vaccine’ — watch, it’ll be a headline tomorrow. These people are crazy. No, it’s running its course.

All of the times President Trump said Covid-19 will disappear

Apparently his team don't subscribe to his theory that Covid isn't really a concern. Shouldn't they have herd immunity by now?

The irony is not lost on me! I still say everything is like a cartoon. The so-called billionaire villain doesn't want to wear a mask that smears his makeup so downplays the virus contaminating the world, only to later say the virus is a danger to him when facing legal ramifications of his business dealings (that downplay is so-called billions). Despite the danger, he still doesn't wear a mask that smears his makeup.

Having said that, I do hope people in the courtroom, no matter who they are, remain healthy.

Exiting his New York City apartment this morning, Michael Cohen told reporters he was "looking forward" to seeing Trump in court.

"It's been five years since we've been in the same room," Cohen said.

Cohen preemptively defended the credibility of his testimony and reiterated that he previously perjured himself "concert with and for the benefit of Donald J. Trump."

"My credibility should not be in question," Cohen said.

Trump called his former lawyer Michael Cohen a "proven liar" and "felon" as Trump entered the courtroom for his civil trial this morning.

"He's a felon, served a lot of time for lying, and we're just going to go in and see and I think you'll see that for yourself," Trump told reporters outside court.

Cohen pleaded guilty in 2018 to two separate criminal cases and eventually spent more than 13 months in prison -- but said that it was Trump who caused him to "follow a path of darkness."

Trump lawyer Chris Kise continued to spar with state attorney Louis Solomon during the testimony of Mazars General Counsel Bill Kelly.

After Solomon objected to a question posted in Kelly's cross-examination, Kise interjected to call out Solomon for being hypocritical about the bounds of acceptable testimony.

"Everything in this courtroom concerns me and my client, including your health," Kise said, referring back to his earlier concern about a courtroom COVID-19 outbreak.

"Thanks for your concern," Solomon responded offhandedly.

Oh wow, right before the lunch break, Cohen confirms the AG’s whole case, essentially.“I was asked by Mr. Trump to increase the total assets based upon a number that he arbitrarily elected.." Cohen says.

https://x.com/stewartbishop/status/1716862311871197648?s=20

(cont) "and my responsibility along with Allen Weisselberg, predominantly, was to reverse engineer the various different asset classes, increase those assets in order to achieve the number that Trump had tasked us with,” Cohen says.

Talk about a cliff hanger. We'll be back in an hour or so.

Since there are people who believe T, perhaps this advice should come with a disclaimer that following these instructions may result in death.

Reminder: Trump and crew arrived at the presidential debate with Biden in 2020 with covid. Trump tested positive before the debate and was admitted to the hospital a few days after the debate.

Again, I hope nobody in the courtroom gets sick.

Minutes after Michael Cohen alleged he was tasked with reverse engineering Trump Organization financial statements, Donald Trump continued his attacks on his former lawyer while exiting the courtroom during a break in the trial.

"His record is a horrible one. All you have to do is ask the Southern District of New York," Trump said in reference to Cohen's 2018 guilty plea on charges related to his role in making hush payments to two woman who claimed to have long-denied affairs with Trump.

"He is not a credible witness," Trump said.

During Cohen's testimony, Trump also took to social media to post flattering quotes Cohen gave to news outlets about Trump in 2011 and 2016.

"He's more like a patriarch, a mentor. These qualities make him very endearing to me, which is why I am so fiercely loyal to him and committed to protecting him at all costs," Cohen told the New York Times in 2016 -- which was posted by Trump on Truth Social minutes after Cohen began his testimony.

The former president told reporters he wasn't concerned about Cohen being on the stand.

"We're not worried at all about his testimony," Trump said.

Cohen, exiting court separately during the break, quipped that seeing Trump again after five years was a "heck of a reunion."

He is so not worried about Cohen's testimony that he showed up in person and can't stop talking about it. Signs of "not worried" for sure. Not.

Former President Donald Trump ripped his former personal attorney and "fixer" Michael Cohen as a "proven liar" and "felon" as he arrived to Manhattan court Tuesday morning for his ongoing civil fraud trial.

“Well, he’s a proven liar and a felon and served a lot of time for lying," Trump, 77, told reporters when asked about Cohen's anticipated testimony in New York Attorney General Letitia James' case.

"He’s a liar trying to get a better deal for himself, but it’s not going to work.”

Cohen, who served as Trump Org vice president and special counsel to Trump from 2006 to 2018, was sentenced to three years in prison following his guilty pleas to campaign finance violations, tax and bank fraud and lying to Congress in 2018.

I don't give a rat's patootie what names Trump calls anyone who he feels is against him or criticizes him. I don't care what he says about anybody-- all he does is call people nasty names and lie all day and all night.- he truly makes me sick.

I care - because he is the GOP front-runner for presidential candidate.

I was more than happy to stop paying attention to him when he left the political sphere after Biden took office. But he didn't leave.
