#BREAKING NEW: THE JURY HAS REACHED A VERDICT IN THE TRUMP TRIAL. #TrumpTrial

2/ Via Inner City Press:

in #TrumpTrial, Justice Merchan just said that the jury has sent a note: they have reached a verdict, need 30 minutes to fill out.

3/ McBrien:

Before leaving the bench, Justice Merchan says to the gallery, "Let there be no outbursts or exclamations of any kind."

He says he'll be back in a few minutes and steps away.

The atmosphere in press overflow is ELECTRIC.

4/ Press:

[Trump has his armed cross in front of himself, Todd Blanche whispering in his right ear - notable, eyes closed]

5/ Weissmann:

I am awaiting Donald Trump saying he just needs someone to find him one vote (this time, on the jury).

6/ McB:

"Keep the outbursts to a minimum, and stay in your seats afterwards until you're given further instructions," a court officer tells us.

It is tense.

Trump, amazingly, has closed his eyes.

erica orden:

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg just entered the courtroom.

7/ I need a Valium. I'm a wreck.

8/ Ben Feuerherd

Merchan: "Are we ready to bring out the jury?

Steinglass: "Yes, judge."

9/ lol

Martha-Ann Alito has lowered her “Stop the Steal” flag to half-mast in anticipation of a Trump guilty verdict.

@GottaLaff just wanted to say thanks for all your hard work on this laffy

@dannotdaniel @GottaLaff She's been amazing, invaluable, stalwart.
@dannotdaniel @GottaLaff
Absolutely!
Thank you, Laffy!
And thanks to @Nonilex and everyone else who helped us follow and understand every bit of Trump’s hush money trial!
@GottaLaff Yeah, same here...
@GottaLaff I have a bottle of champagne set aside for a guilty verdict...it may get drunk tonight! Drank? Drunken? ;-)

@GottaLaff

Ditto. So much anxiety!!

@GottaLaff
Kind of like decision day for college, is it a fat envelope or a thin envelope?
@GottaLaff NFL me too! And one for you too, Your Honor!
@GottaLaff
Twenty twenty twenty four hours to go, oh-oh, I wanna be sedated...
@GottaLaff nobody here is saying no!

@GottaLaff

Can you make this happen faster from Canada? 🤭

@GottaLaff I recommend Champagne for medicinal purposes!
@GottaLaff tell me about it. Hubby and I are in our respective offices in our home yelling at each other as we check different platforms -- "anything on your end?"

@GottaLaff

*Because of the trial or the moving?

@GottaLaff Watch your breath nature's valium :)

@GottaLaff

This will speak volumes about our justice system. If it fails, so will the rule of law and this democratic republic. #PoliticalAnxiety

@GottaLaff So am I! I’m hoping he is found guilty on the counts that have jail time attached!

@GottaLaff

Of course, Trump closed his eyes. Can't face stark reality. Sweet.

@GottaLaff NFL Unless he somehow got 12 sleepers onto the jury, there's no way an acquittal could have come so soon. The bell curve put too many people with common sense on the panel.

Let's go let's go let's FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO

(trying not to get too hyper)

@GottaLaff

I'm so afraid of being disappointed once again.... this is just mind numbing....

@GottaLaff IDK why he didn't tell them to 'stop the count' when they requested to rehear testimony and instruction.
@GottaLaff wouldn't a conviction of #vonshitzinpantz be sweet just one day after you have settled in Canada? #justice

@GottaLaff I wrote this about celebrate the guilty verdict and how the MSM will not celebrate and the Democrats need to make a BIG FING DEAL of the guilty verdict.

I predict Trump will be found guilty. Someone from the NY AGs office will make a statement on the steps of the courthouse.
