@Teri_Kanefield I’m sorry about JJ.

@Teri_Kanefield re Why NYS never investigated Trump. He was! The Manhattan DA *almost* brought charges for Trump Soho. A well-timed donation to Vance’s reelection campaign by the Trumps lawyer may have had a role in not pressing charges. And in the pre email, etc era, Trump was investigated for property taxes, etc. But the records needed were destroyed in a flood, etc.

@Teri_Kanefield Based on your take on the case, it seems like his lawyers should have 1 worked harder to get the DA to drop the case altogether & if he wouldn’t 2 pled this thing down to a misdemeanor. Trump probably wouldn’t agree to #2, but that would have been much less damaging than the 6-8 weeks at trial are proving to be, irrespective of any verdict.

@Teri_Kanefield In my experience, most people don’t want to be on juries. And this trial is expected to last weeks, they have to take steps to keep the jurors anonymous because of Trump’s threats & his rabid supporters.

@Teri_Kanefield poor puppy

@Teri_Kanefield Well, I’m special. The link doesn’t work. I found her on twitter. Tried the link there & from her website. Nada. Can’t find her on substack. Oh, well.

@Teri_Kanefield Congrats!

@Teri_Kanefield @DiamondHeighter @CptSuperlative Reminder: the audio of Thursday’s oral arguments will be available. I know cspan will have it. & it seems there will be a link on the court’s website.

@DoctorDNS @Teri_Kanefield Except Trump needs to win, & he’s lost the popular vote twice already.

@Teri_Kanefield I think SCOTUS already dealt with that 1st hypothetical in the Vance/Mazars appeal. And didn’t find it to be the problem that Trump claimed or claims.
