Eagerly awaiting confirmation of how many counts Trump is facing so that on the podcast I can tell the story of the time Judge William Matthew Byrne, Jr. yelled at me for like 10 minutes because I brought an indictment with 21 counts.
@Popehat
πŸ˜† wow, I can't wait to hear that
@Kaminara @Popehat I'd be satisfied with just the Court transcript ;)
@Popehat Is there like a twenty count per day limit or something?

@Popehat

Is there a guide-sheet?

Judge Pongo - 19, hard limit
Judge Spongebob - 15, but will go +10 on violent offenders
Judge Spittle - 5, FAFO beyond that not recommended
Judge Catroni - no limit he will throw the book as many times as necessary

@Popehat

10 !? - just an amuse bouche!

@Popehat. Tease. Should have waited until you could indict a former president. "Your honor, I'm not to blame for the number of crimes the defendant committed."

@wbtphdjd @Popehat Hey, Trump's lawyers have been filing all sorts of requests for delays and extensions because there's too many cases to deal with.

Lizard Says: If you don't have the time, commit fewer crimes!

@Popehat so the size of an indictment does matter?
@Popehat
Getting all the popcorn ready.
@Popehat The number I had heard thrown around was thirty-four, but yes confirmation needed.

@Popehat I’m just waiting for the first RWNJ media outlet to absolutely lose their shit and start hurling literal feces at the camera.
@Popehat Wait, the same guy who presided over the Pentagon Papers trial fiasco?
@Popehat Well, I can certainly see why he'd find complex indictments vexing after that experience.
@Popehat β€˜Hat, we are all here for the stories where a Federal judge yelled at you or opposing counsel. This is the brand you have built
@Popehat Dang, it sounds like that guy was what we politely call "colorful". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Matthew_Byrne_Jr.

@Popehat 21 counts puts you well over the vassal limit, regardless of how high your stewardship is or what your succession laws are. Of course you got yelled at.
@Popehat I look forward to one of the 34 felonies being RICO purely to annoy you.
