That reasoning makes so much sense. I could never understand why his attorneys would let him testify again since there's no telling what he'll say but you know it won't help his case. I'm with you. I can't wait until the damages verdict. Thanks for the update.
I find it ever so poignant that he complains about this as A Total WEAPONIZATION of the system against him (political witch hunt), but he’s STATED UNEQUIVOCALLY that this IS what his administration WILL DO AFTER he gets back into the Presidency. To go after EVERYONE that he perceived as going after him.
Many years ago Sir Richard Branson recalled the only time he met tfg in the 1990s. He said tfg was fixated on getting revenge on the 5 people who wouldn't help him when he was in financial trouble. Of course, we can all guess the financial trouble he was in he created. Branson went on to say tfg was "irrational, aggressive" and lacking informed ideas. He also said tfg would be a disastrous president...Sir Branson sure nailed it.
There is no defense for any of the charges agains him including the federal charges. It's not just because there's a mountain of evidence against him. He cannot find skilled attorneys anymore because 1) he cannot shut his mouth, 2) he doesn't listen to anyone but the voices in his head and 3) reputable firms won't go anywhere near him.
His current legal representation is laughable. Can't wait to see how they fare against Jack Smith and Fani Willis. Warming up the popcorn machine.
From my reading. A defendant cannot just up and fire has attorney before trial. The attorney has to seek permission from the judge. The judge can question the defendant. He decides if it is ok for an attorney to withdraw from the case.
In Trump's case it may be a big NO. Maybe if a couple of months before the trial date. But I would hope the judge would recognize it for what it is: A delay tactic.
In the Florida case if CANNON allowed it she would push the trail date out (past the election). New lawyers would require security checks beyond just getting up to speed.
That point should be brought up at the beginning of the trial. Mainly to inform Judge Cannon, in case she doesn't know. I also cannot wait to hear how she'll be schooled by far more experienced legal "advisors" in the courtroom...
Alina Habba’s brief but not so spectacular legal career has ended before it actually began. Like so many others, the Trump taint will follow her for years to come. And I doubt a job as a Fox News “legal analyst “ will be in the cards any time soon.
I agree totally... what a blindly ambitious and poor-reasoning "lawyer" she is. My take: got in on her looks and figured her looks will get her out of "the law" and onto the screen (if not Fox then OnlyFans) 🙄🤷♂️
I hope she's practicing saying "would you like fries with your burger"...oh wait...burger places have higher hiring standards. Maybe she's hoping to replace Melania.
KARMA is coming home to roost for the evil one. There are consequences finally heading for The Orange Baboon. He has a target the size of NY heading for him and it’s about time. This cretin will be held accountable for all the lies he’s told, the people he’s hurt and the down right evil that he unleashes in this world. All he does is run that mouth. In the end he is a bully that is a coward. Times up and he knows it. Finally!
I want to believe he really will have consequences, but I must say I’ll believe it when I see it. We’re seeing encouraging signs, but it’s not over unless he’s somewhere that he isn’t just free to poison society any more.
You're so right! Especially since the Supreme Court took up the whole Jan. 6 case to do with the notion that Trump is 'immune' from the case in whole or in part (I thinking in whole, myself). There was a great conversation about it all on Lawrence O'Donnell tonight, with Professors Tribe and Weismann. Illuminating! Keep 'em coming, Mary!
We do hear him repeating "I did nothing wrong." an awful lot. And it sounds a lot like my sons when they were 5 years old and caught with the evidence.
Lots ! Actually, I spray it with Crisco butter-flavor spray and then sprinkle Parmesan cheese. I figure I have earned a treat after all the worries Donald Trump has caused me . . .
Unfortunately it’s your FRIENDS and FAMILY who will vote for this guy (unbeknownst to you), that you should be worried about. That’s where the issue lies. The BLIND CULTISTS that follow him…you KNOW THESE PEOPLE. They’re the CONCERN.
Don't worry, Terry, we take his cultists seriously. They need to see him as a bad example. They need to see how they've been duped. "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned".
If there is one building besides Trump Tower in NY that I want to see sacrificed on the altar of justice it's Trump International Hotel & Tower in Chicago. I can't wait for that ginormous TRUMP (no offense, Mary) sign to be removed.
Wish I could be there to witness it. You'll have to write all the details in a post here when it happens, whether you are actually there yourself, or have someone who gives you the details. It would be appreciated!
Mark Twain said to always tell the truth. That way, you didn't have to remember what you said. Your uncle's word salads make remembering impossible.

Impossible for him to not attack others and keep lying. As my grandma said, he wouldn’t know the truth if it jumped up and bit his p@@ker.
I like your grandma already! Wisdom from the vintage populace!
Go Gram m, go! Nailed it.
Grandma is so right!

A Lesson on KINDNESS just for you!

It’s his and the Republican “tell”.
They blame others for Their Shortcomings and Plans!

I predict he will fire his counsel mere days before trials are to start as another delay tactic.

She's incapable of being "schooled".
The 11th Appeals Court could send her back to judge school. Or start one for just her.
Honestly--can you imagine a more horrifying task than having to defend Donald Trump? Pass the smelling salts and run for the hills!

I've just restocked my pantry for 2024...with a CASE of popcorn. LOL Nom Nom!
I'm a popcorn addict, too, when I'm excited about something special to watch on TV. I appreciate your message. Here's to tomorrow . . .
You don't think his Crack team of parking garage lawyers are doing a good job?
Looks exactly like he cowered!!😂😂😂
Good one!
You're a brave and intelligent woman. Keep up the good fight.
Have you considered campaigning for Biden?
I'm 76 and dealing with an ailing husband. Sorry. You go for it though. I'm with you in spirit.
I've been there. Mine passed away ten years ago. I miss his wisdom about the world. Wishing you well.
She already is, just by doing what she's doing!
Also, both Liz Cheney and Cassidy Hutchinson, if you've seen any of their interviews, are doing the same...
It’s an honor to support your truthtelling, Mary! Coward Donald is certainly going down -- financially, then criminally, and I’m here for it all!

I hope the judge adds some penalty money the two fifty million being asked.
His attorneys probably threatened him if he testified again they would bail or worse.
Notice he never says the one thing he has not been prohibited from saying:
I am innocent.
We do hear him repeating "I did nothing wrong." an awful lot. And it sounds a lot like my sons when they were 5 years old and caught with the evidence.
What he does is justify his actions.
I was allowed is different than I’m not guilty.
LOVE this update, Mary. He's such a fool.
Just subscribed.
Thank you for your reporting and insight.
How much butter would you like on your popcorn? 🍿
Lots ! Actually, I spray it with Crisco butter-flavor spray and then sprinkle Parmesan cheese. I figure I have earned a treat after all the worries Donald Trump has caused me . . .
And as I’ve warned in OTHER comment boards…
STOP FIXATING on this Bafoon.
Unfortunately it’s your FRIENDS and FAMILY who will vote for this guy (unbeknownst to you), that you should be worried about. That’s where the issue lies. The BLIND CULTISTS that follow him…you KNOW THESE PEOPLE. They’re the CONCERN.
Having grown up with Prairie and Diamondback Rattlers; you go for the head of the snake.
Terry, I have to disagree. Mary's efforts are reaching a lot of people and who knows how many are MAGA voters who may change their minds . . .
BUT the reality is:
(a) those "Blind Cultists" are never going to change their mind; their egos are too fragile.
(b) their numbers are NOT growing and they are a minority.
Don't worry, Terry, we take his cultists seriously. They need to see him as a bad example. They need to see how they've been duped. "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned".
If there is one building besides Trump Tower in NY that I want to see sacrificed on the altar of justice it's Trump International Hotel & Tower in Chicago. I can't wait for that ginormous TRUMP (no offense, Mary) sign to be removed.
Can you imagine the crowds (especially in New York) to see his brand name come down from his buildings?
And popcorn vendors!
Yes. ::))

Sell tickets and we can pay down the deficit from his only rich people tax break!
