But hereās where it gets ugly. Itās the moment Cohen is clearly unapologetic.
Blanche: āAnd thereās nothing wrong with that correct?ā
Cohen: āI donāt believe so.ā
To be fair, congresspeopleās spouses and the reps themselves after they retire get these consulting gigs all the time. Mrs Thomas got a deal like this. So for āinsidersā this is standard operating procedure.
is any of this drama a bad sign for trump? I kinda doubt it, seems like heās 90% to walk, right?
fwiw betting markets have it at 75-80% ish GUILTY
Even if he is found guilty he is still walking.
yeah good point I should have said āTOTAL EXONERATIONā because heās 100% getting probation or maybe at worst an afternoon of house arrest if heās found guilty
what are the markets saying about trump actually showing up to the first debate? seems pretty unlikely iyam
Makes sense this was Trumpās call. He wouldnāt testify himself but Costello was the next best thing.

How did it work out?
In fairness, doesnāt every trial end with a ālong shotā motion to dismiss? But it did seem to go poorly for the defense, particularly if the interpretations of the jury reactions are to be believed.
Yeah he mad

If you try to stare me down one more time, I will remove you from the stand. I will strike his entire testimony; do you understand me?"
MR. BOVE: āYes, Judge. I understand.ā
When Costello asked if he could say something, Merchan said: āNo. No. This is not a conversation.ā
More stern talkings to. One day one of these super stern talkings to is really going to flip the entire political and judicial world on its head. Itās bound to happen! Keep up the good work.
The man is literally a cult leader for approximately a third of the country. How the fuck can he not properly monetize that?
Because half the cult are wealthy who only care about tax cuts and deregulation. Of those left, half of them probably canāt read or write, so have no use for social media. The remainder mostly care about trolling the libs and you canāt do that from Truth Social
Itās genuinely hilarious watching these judges do the āthis is unacceptableā speech on repeat. Literally how to not parent a toddler 101.
They donāt understand the republican super power is utter shamelessness
This is a flaw in government inspired by the political philosophy of the Enlightenment.
So this Costello guy is probably our next Attorney General?
