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.
8/ Ben Feuerherd
Merchan: "Are we ready to bring out the jury?
Steinglass: "Yes, judge."

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

Of course, Trump closed his eyes. Can't face stark reality. Sweet.
I'm so afraid of being disappointed once again.... this is just mind numbing....
@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.
