#TFG = #TheOrangeTurd, now on the official record

Thanks, Laffy.
I could hardly stop laughing througout the brilliant report by #Lawrence.

#StormyDaniels aka #StephanieAGregoryClifford legally humiliated #TFG, the "Orange Turd," several times.

#Stormy also outclassed #Trump lawyer #SusanNecheles in #CrossExamination.

#ToddBlanche torpedoed his own motions for a mistrial on the 1st trial day!
#GagOrder not modified

I ❤️ Justice #JuanMerchan and Lawrence!

Lawrence: Why Trump's lawyer called him the 'orange turd' during Stormy testimony

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell explains how Donald Trump’s lawyer Susan Necheles attempted to mischaracterize Stormy Daniels’ description of Donald Trump as the “orange turd” and how Stormy Daniels saw through this line of questioning.

MSNBC

#Steinglass finished questioning #KeithDavidson in an abrupt conclusion. Before he finished, Steinglass asked Davidson if he had any stake in the outcome of the trial. Davidson said that he did not.

#Trump's lawyer Emil #Bove on #CrossExamination of Davidson, fmr #StormyDaniels & #KarenMcDougal lawyer.

Bove begins by establishing that Davidson has not met Trump.

#Trump's lawyer Todd #Blanche, will conduct cross. It’s Blanche’s 1st #CrossExamination this trial.

It’s also the 1st time we’ve seen Blanche since the hearing last week in which he sought to argue that Trump had not violated the judge’s #GagOrder. Blanche lost that hearing.

Gary Farro was asked by Blanche about speaking with “the people,” (the prosecutors) Trump shook his head pointedly when Farro talked about meeting w/ prosecutors he had in DC ahead of his testimony.

#TrumpTrial #law

Before #Hoffinger wrapped direct, we again heard the name of #HopeHicks, Trump’s spox during the 2016 #TrumpCampaign & in the #WhiteHouse. There was not an apparent reason to reintroduce her, it may be that prosecutors laying foundation for future evidence/testimony in proceedings.

#CrossExamination by #Trump lawyer Susan #Necheles begins:

#RhonaGraff testifies that "99% of the time," discussions w/Trump were related to business.
