Two developments in the last hour should be processed with that fact in mind. First, his sudden decision to cancel a Press Conference. Trump had promised a, quote, conclusive report and he would once and for all be proven right New York Times says its a document of more than 100 pages compiled, at least in part by liz harrington, a Trump Communications aide often described as among the True Believers in his false claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him through widespread fraud. At least on this one issue, trump appears to have listened to the advice of his lawyers. Abc news reported yesterday, trumps Legal Advisers have told him holding such a Press Conference with dubious claims would only complicate his legal problems. Which wrings us to the second development. An audacious request filed in Court Last Night to push back trumps trial in the federal case regarding his efforts to overturn the 2020 election to april of the year 2026. Yeah. Thats more than five years after the d

Mmm the more you know. How important is it that so many people who were speaking so strongly to the grand jury and presumably will to a jury, are republicans . I think it matters quite a bit, chris. I think in the world of politics and media it may matter because it suggests that it isnt just the Democratic Party that is out to get donald trump, but i think in court it also matters. Their Defense Attorneys will always be looking for an example to crossexamine witnesses. If they say you are a member of a different party, that can be used to undermine credibility in the eyes of the jury. When they are aligned with them in the same political party, this really takes away the opportunity to suggest that they are just making this up. So i think it bolsters their credibility in the eyes of the jury. Speaking of the eyes of the jury, lets go to what you witnessed today, the comings and goings of the courthouse. Clearly fani willis said we did this by the book and we are going to prosecute thi
Prosecute gangs or mafia crime families sums up the entire coup plot. Here is how District Attorney willis puts it last night.

Quote, depth donald trump lost the United States president ial election held on november 3rd, 2020. Prosecutors allege that the entire coup plot was in service of reversing that one single, simple fact. They say that trump and his 18 codefendants along with 30 unindicted coconspirators, quote, constituted a criminal organization, whose members and associates engaged in various related criminal activities, including and not limited to false statements and writings, impersonating public officers, forgery, filing false documents, in
Received documents. The department of justice, from their investigation into Michael Cohen and the Stormy Daniels payments from several years back. The office has subsequently turned over the documents. About 1000 miles down i95 in florida the former president was in court in person in the classified documents case. Trumps team argued that she should dismiss the entire federal case claiming the documents trumped up with him were personal records and thus excluded from the president ial records act requirement. We await judge cannons decision on that. She decided to reject a separate motion to dismiss the case. That trial is still set to start in late may. North of florida, nathan wade has reside from his role as prosecutor in the racketeering case against the former President Donald Trump and multiple codefendants over efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 president ial election in georgia.
