  1. So was the retired Judge who was also talking about the lower court (Engoron's) verdict “They had other options available to them, and they issued a broad-based stay,” he continued, which he said suggests “that there is a view that they’re going to need to take a hard look at the lower court’s decision.”

  3. So a week from today EDT, if Trump does indeed put up the $175 million, we'll know whether the DJT stock played or did not play any part in the arrangements. Some reason hard for you to wait that long?
  4. Trump filed appeal brief 20 NOV 2023 Carroll filed appeal reply 20 MAR 2024. Hot item: (Carroll witness on cross-examination): Tacopina also accused the court of "mischaracterizing evidence," including testimony by Cheryl Beall, who managed the Bergdorf Goodman store where the alleged rape occurred, in which she said she was "certain" the store had surveillance cameras at all of the entrance and exit doors. (my bold) https://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2023/05/01/Trump-E-Jean-Carroll-mistrial/8011682952870/
  5. That is maybe because, in an appeal, everything is done in writing except when, in some cases, the Court has a 30 minute oral hearing 15 minutes each side.
  6. Your opinion? From https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/26/business/trump-media-digital-world-acquisition-cash.html Digital World’s lockup provision also limits major shareholders from using the stock as collateral for a loan during that six-month period. Can Mr. Trump transfer shares during the lockup period? Yes. The provision permits a major shareholder like Mr. Trump to transfer shares to a trust. A trust backed by some of Mr. Trump’s shares might be able to use that stock as collateral for a loan. He also can transfer shares to an immediate family member. NB from Business Insider: Trump risks tanking Truth Social's stock price if he cashes out Mar 23, 2024, 6:54 PM GMT+7 https://markets.businessinsider.com/news/stocks/trump-truth-social-stock-price-crash-outlook-dwac-share-sale-2024-3 not from transferring to a Trust.
  7. In the newly released filing dated March 11, Trump's lawyers said they would ask Cohen, expected to be a key prosecution witness, about Trump's awareness of his lawyers' involvement in the actions at issue in the case. Formally invoking an advice-of-counsel defense would have required Trump to prove that he fully disclosed all relevant facts to his lawyers, and relied on their advice in good faith. It also would have required him to turn over communications with those lawyers, which are normally shielded by privilege. https://www.reuters.com/legal/trumps-defense-hush-money-trial-stop-short-blaming-his-lawyers-2024-03-12/ This is the 'presence of counsel" motion disallowed by Judge Merchan's 18 MAR ruling. BTW I agree with your statement above "Trump has a good chance of avoiding conviction in this trial" but not for the reasons you gave.
  8. So if informally the Prosecution may object. From the same ruling as above: Turning to the amorphous defense of "presence of counsel", defendant has in the past hinted, implied, and now declared that he will rely on said defense. However, Defendant has never asked this Court whether he would be permitted to do so. This Court now rules that Defendant may not offer, or even suggest, the defense of "presence of counsel".
  9. You rang? Trump Attacks R.F.K. Jr., a Third-Party Wild Card Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the independent presidential candidate, has asserted that he intends to be a “spoiler” for both Donald Trump and President Biden. March 27, 2024, 3:25 p.m. ET vuia NY Times Former President Donald J. Trump attacked Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the independent presidential candidate, on Wednesday morning, casting Mr. Kennedy as a liberal Democrat in disguise while also seeming to back him as a spoiler for President Biden’s campaign. Mr. Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, pointed in particular to Mr. Kennedy’s views on climate change and the environment, writing on his social media site that Mr. Kennedy was more “radical Left” than Mr. Biden. https://archive.is/YxBmM
  10. Per Judge Merchan's 18 MAR 2024 ruling: The People have inquired countless times from Defendant whether he intended to rely on advice of counsel. Likewise, this Court has given defendant numerous opportunities to declare his intent. Ultimately, he was directed to give notice by March 11, 2024. He has now made clear that he will not invoke the defense of advice of counsel. People's VI is GRANTED. https://www.justsecurity.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/Just-Security-NY-2016-Election-Interference-Case-Clearinghouse-Order-on-State-of-New-York-motions-in-limine-March-18-2024.pdf
  11. Bogart was 5'8" -- Ingrid Bergman was s5'9". These are the lifts Bogart wore in their scenes together:
  12. And sometimes amateurs posting on a website get it wrong. My amateur view on what the reporter with 30 years of Wall Street reporting experience was maybe suggesting is that, if the stocks are transferred to e.g. a trust, they are not sold, only pledged as collateral. And the volatility of the share price then becomes a concern to whomever was taking those shares as collateral for a loan.
  13. Gee I guess the financial reporter at the NY Times never thought of that.
  14. March 21, 2024 Mr. Trump could also obtain the board’s blessing to transfer his shares into a trust, or give them to a family member as a gift. By placing them in a trust, Mr. Trump would be able to use the shares as collateral for a loan; a family member, too, could borrow against those shares. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/21/business/trump-truth-social-merger.html
  15. So a Business Forum type discussion of the IPO. But for this topic, what's more germane ,,is if or how Trump might use this largesse for the $175 million bond coming due soon.
