Hearing CNN talk about how Hope Hicks clearly cared for him and felt bad just shows how soulless a ghoul she is.  No decent human being could go through the past several years being that adjacent to that fuck head and still think he's a good guy.  What a broken human she is.

As much as the defense lawyers — and Trump — complain about Merchan, he has been bending over backward to try to seem fair to Trump.

Just extracted this statement from one of the summaries above to point out what that often means.

As a trial lawyer, I get the MOST nervous when the judge is doing all he can to accommodate my requests, grant my objections, etc.  In short, I worry when everything is going my way, because what that means is that the judge isn't giving me anything to complain about on appeal.  He knows I'm going to be fucked by the outcome at the trial court, and he wants to make sure that I don't have any leg to stand on if I try to appeal.

Seriously, I can recall the feeling of being in trial, and at a particular moment, ALL of the rulings started going my way.  It didn't take long for me to realize "oh fuck....I'm about to lose this fucking case."  If you're good, and lucky, you can pivot your approach to maybe give yourself a chance to win.  But sometimes, the judge knows what the outcome is going to be, and wants it to hold up on appeal, so he's made a record that will help that happen.

In this case, there's also an element of the judge not wanting to seem like he's a tool of any partisan/political plot (fat chance of that, what he does isn't what matters - what Trump SAYS is the only thing that matters to the cult), but there's also surely an element of him not wanting to give the defense any good grounds for an appeal of the eventual verdict.

This, all day long.  Of course, Chapter one in The Secret of Success on Appeal is called "Win at Trial."  The rest of the chapters have to do with what happens if you don't.

 

It's also the reason that he's trying to avoid jail for contempt if at all possible and why he's being careful in tailoring the gag order.  The last thing he wants is an interlocutory appeal with a possible stay of trial with a jury empaneled.  Sure, it's a long shot, but Trump doesn't care about the odds (insert failed casino joke here).

I remember learning about this way back during the IBM vs SCO lawsuit, when SCO (with backing from Microsoft) was basically suing IBM for putting copyrighted code from UNIX (which, ironically, SCO didn't even really own the rights to, not like they thought they did) into Linux.

A paralegal, frustrated with the idiocy she saw on Slashdot and elsewhere from the nerds who cared deeply about the case but understood nothing about the legal system, started up a blog to cover the details of what was REALLY happening.

At some point pretty early on, she said that the judge was Actively Managing the case. And she explained what that meant: The judge had already figured out what he was going to rule, and from this point forward was more or less going to make sure that the ruling was going to be solid and un-appealable.

(IBM won. Big. No appeal succeeded.)

Plenty of women have known guys with Trump‘s attitude (but not his fame or money) who think they can get away with anything. Maybe it’s a boss or a co-worker, or a neighbor, whatever.  Hopefully some of those women ended up on the jury.

C'mon man, you're better than this.  They did a good job describing how he treated her like a daughter (unlike Ivanka) and much different than other people in his world.  She was relatively young and impressionable. After Jan 6 she broke off, but the emotions prior don't just die for anyone human. She's far from a ghoul.

Beyond that CNN has a great panel of prosecutors and one defense attorey talking about the sausage making of a trial.  Even if you don't like CNN it's really interesting. There's so much detail into the thinking and dancing between defense and prosecution production I find really interesting.

And she's really hot, so if you speak her name again it's soulless DIME.

This is a really fresh take. We have not seen this issue brought up before.

Here is a suggestion: why not start a thread in CR and call it “justice system powerless against orange shit stain”.  As we go through Trump‘s various trials, every time the justice system displeases you, you and your unhappy brethren can post in that thread, and not continually interject that same opinion/observation throughout this thread.     

It is not an invalid topic, to be sure, and given the frequency and passion expressed in similar comments by several posters, it would seem that that topic legitimately deserves its own thread.

Amen, Amen

The thing about Trump, if you take away the judgment of him personally and the threat he presents, is that he's just such a bizarre individual.  The combination of wealth, extreme narcissism, and stupidity means that he creates situations that have largely never before been encountered.  Especially when you consider that he has an audience that uncritically swallows every utterance.

His treatment seems special, but it's like every "institution" he encounters doesn't quite know what to do with him.

The law, or more accurately the Latin language, has a word for it/him:  sui generis.

For example, the gag order.  Most criminal defendants don't get gagged, because they really have nothing to say and usually no platform to say it on.  There are plenty of defendants that are probably as crazy as Trump and have unhinged things to say about their court cases, but no one would listen or publicize it.  No one would argue that their crazed bloviation influences witnesses.

Even most politicians, see Cuellar and Menendez, have little to say and don't want to say it except under carefully controlled circumstances (e.g. remarks prepared by counsel made in a short press conference).  Most defendants couldn't rely on 1A/political speech as a defense to the gag order or its application to them.  They wouldn't try to run for reelection in most cases and wouldn't make prosecution a central point of their campaigns.

So, it's a lot of fun to speculate or argue that anyone else would have gotten hammered by now on things like the gag order.  But there really isn't a valid comparison to Trump.

Although it's a factor, Trump's "wealth" and ability to hire counsel to push the limits for him aren't the sole reason everything is so weird around him.  He's just such a fucking weirdo is what it boils down to.

Yeah, he treated her like his daughter. He wants to fuck his daughter. Trump reportedly told Hicks she was the best piece of ass Corey Lewandowski ever had. Sure, she was young and attractive, that’s why Trump hired her. She was stunt Ivanka capitalizing on her youth and beauty to glom onto Trump and ride the gravy train. Just another gold digger. She used to steam Trump’s suits while he was wearing them. I’ll bet he loved that, especially if she ever got down on her knees to do it.

She had affairs with at least two of Trump’s staffers, Lewandowski and Rob Porter, both married men. Porter was accused of domestic violence by two of his wives, Lewandowski himself had been accused of battery and sexual assault by women other than his wife.

No one of character serves that close to Trump. If you’re surviving and thriving in a snake pit, you’re probably a snake yourself. Sadly for Hope, the gravy train came to a crashing halt on Jan 6. She had to find somewhere new to apply her talents. Last I heard, that was at Fox News. If she’s still there then she’s still involved in propaganda and sleaze.

https://www.cnn.com/2018/10/08/media/hope-hicks-joins-fox/index.html

Good for her for testifying. I hope she tells the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. But she’s no saint and still has the stink of Trump on her.

Nah. Anyone who willingly didn't abandon him after he called all Mexicans rapists, made fun of disabled people, called veterans losers, and said he could grab women by the pussies is a fucking piece of shit. Fuck them all.

After all his bullshit no one gets the benefit of the doubt just because they don’t tolerate treason. A non-ghoul would have been out way before.
