#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!

From the court transcript: "STORMY DANIELS: I don't see "instrumental" or "jail" there. You're putting words in my mouth. TRUMP ATTORNEY: So, when you said you were "the best person to flush the orange turd down", you weren't saying you were going to be instrumental in causing him to be convicted of a crime; that was not what you meant? STORMY DANIELS: No."
From the court transcript: "PROSECUTOR: ...at one point Ms. Daniels was asked, you know: "Did you feel anything unusual?" Now, the answer to that question was going to be: "I felt what it felt like to feel the skin of a 60-year old man. I was 27 years old. And that was a different -that was different than anything I had ever felt before."
Quote from the court transcript: JUSTICE MERCHAN: "So the track record, your client's track record speaks for itself. I cant take your word for it that he will just say, hey, I dispute the facts... So with regard to your application for me to modify the Gag Order to allow your client to respond to Ms. Daniels, that application is denied.
Screenshot from the transcript: "PROSECUTOR: ...Mr. Trump seemed - asked a lot of questions about the testing in the adult film industry: How often the testing happens, whether performers are required to wear condoms, et cetera, questions about that. And the reason - the reason that that's relevant is because it explains his decision to not wear a condom."

Almost...perfect.

I'm not a criminal lawyer nor a legal commentator, however, I have a gut feeling that, in retrospect, today could be a turning point in the #HushMoneyTrial...

I understand.
Keep the faith, Laffy.
The Prosecution and the Jurisprudence are doing a great job--in contrast to the defense and the defendant.

In my mind, I'm one (hopeful) step ahead: will TFG be jailed in time for the #Elections2024, if convicted?

I still hear #RachelMaddow's #Ultra episode where a criminal governor runs an election from jail in my mind...

@HistoPol Many have done that from behind bars. And also held office from behind bars.

Yes, and it is normal to indict and punish a former public official, even if (s)he has been Consul or president. This is how it has been since the times of the Roman Republic. France, for instance, has had no qualms doing so.
I thought yesterday that it would be good for the US public to be educated (for the most part) or reminded of these essential lessons of history.
"Equal Justice Under Law" means just that ANYONE can and will be...

...held to account.
Being a candidate in an election process does NOT entail immunity from prosecution or punishment. Neither does, in particular, having held an office. Only holding office grants (temporary) immunity.
And this has been #TFG's endgame...until #MAGA can #Russify the #US constitution + revoke the 22nd Amendment1), analogous to what #TFG's authoritarian idol #Putler has done in 2020.
