Still trying to make Chinatown happen.

I guess the subpoena was not the point at which it was ALL settled.
Yep, that’s my internet quota for the day. See you tomorrow folks.

The deposition, taken in October at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club in Florida, was filed a day after Carroll’s lawyers rested their case at the trial for the suit in U.S. District Court in Manhattan. Trump’s lawyers presented no witnesses of their own.
Portions of the transcript have previously been released in separate court filings.
And jurors on Thursday were shown portions of a video of that deposition.
In one such section, Trump, who has repeatedly said that Carroll was “not my type,” mistook her for his former wife Marla Maples in a photo from the 1980s showing him, Carroll, her then-husband, and Trump’s then-wife Ivana Trump together.
“That’s Marla, yeah. That’s my wife,” Trump said before his lawyer Alina Habba stepped in during the deposition to tell him, “No, that’s Carroll,” Habba said.
Trump then said the photo was “very blurry.”
The photo
Full deposition was released today
It’s a bunch of big highlighted text so it’s not really that long a read.

I’ve been wondering the approximate date (after all sorts of classified documents procedural delays that TV LAW pundits tell us are all totally normal) when media centrists will unload with the “It’s best to let the people decide at the polls” bullshit op-eds. November of this year? “It’s less than a year until the most important election of our lifetime™, we really should let the American public decide” in a complete mockery and sham of the “rule of law.” It’s what Garland has wanted all along.

I think one year from the election is a good line. Some of the more pro Trump people will probably start laying the groundwork in late August when the first debate goes down, and it will take some time for the centrists to jump on the bandwagon.
