Conservatives believe rich people are inherently moral, and poor people are inherently immoral. It's related to determinism or something like that.
If he doesnt deliver the goods, then he goes back to prison.
So this should be GOOD.
Get your popcorn ready.
He is worth much more than his financial statements say, so he is lying on his financial statements?
He's also really mad that the fake news Forbes magazine that just makes everything up doesn't have him on their list.

Sounds like it. I guess not all that surprising as he is a defendant here as well.
Judge Engoron on his usual sparkling form though.

I didn't say it had anything to do with the judge. I maintain that Trumps defenses did this intentionally rather than erroneously, which you just affirmed, so?
I just meant it wasn't a "missed tick on a form", it's more complicated than that and yes it was intentional because it wasn't worth even trying as this kinds of cases don't usually have juries. And my judge comment was aimed at Trump, not you :)
He's really not handling things well.

What even is this drivel? Like I can't believe this is coming out of a person that was a president. And even worse, that people read this and still want to vote for the guy. I'm pretty sure I suffered a concussion just reading that mess.
"I hereby ____" was already embarrassingly pompous and ridiculous when he did it in office, as a private citizen it's just laughable.
I'm reading Bear Head from Tchaikovsky and the sociopath politicians is 100% a stand-in for Trump. I hope the narcissist Trump gets his image as a rich business genius ruined in this tríal as well as financial ruination and he is miserable before some other decision puts hi in prison.
Potentially. They are owned by a Hong Kong based investment firm though, which makes that part of his statement the only thing that's close to truth.
Can Trump just do us all a favor and speedrun this thing, FFS? Just openly call for violence against all the judges, prosecutors, witnesses, etc. Or load up his plane with cash and classified docs and attempt to flee the country. Whatever. Just get behind bars, already.
Honestly, it might be good for his health. Mine, too. Definitely good for the health of the country.

Not quite. So long as it can be construed as hyperbole, an exaggeration for dramatic effect that one wouldn't expect people to actually believe, then it's fine. It's how OPed writers and political candidates get away with saying all the crazy shit they do.
Trump getting more and more unhinged and this is just going to escalate if he gets elected as president (same if he doesn't).
Trump is going to burn everything to the ground if he is president. Everyone he thinks has done him wrong, he will throw them in jail or tear the companies/corporations down in a massive fit of rage

TRIAL - Day 7, Deutsche Bank
Why doesn't he say anything?
Could he get implicated more or isn't he already but did a deal, why do the don't recall dance, I don't get it or is it a sensible play to not muddy the waters as Trump is losing anyway?

Honestly, he's fucked no matter what, just based on filed financial statements, so now he's probably just trying to get it over with without admitting anything.
Like, it doesn't matter if he doesn't remember filing something, if he actually did it, lol.

Maybe there's a thing where he doesn't yet know what the other witnesses will be saying about him? There are about 8 Trump Org witnesses yet to come, not including the Trumps themselves, and they may well screw Weisselberg to the floor.
If they do, I'd expect him to appear again as a witness in his own defense, and maybe have recovered some of his memory by then, though the inconsistent testimony would not do a great deal for his credibility.
After seven years of being made aware of every scrap of garbage he posts on social media, I am LIVING for these meltdowns. God help me, I'm actually excited to read a Trump
EDIT: Quoted the wrong post, what I get for not waiting for the embed to load.
Is Weisselberg technically a prosecution witness, then? He's already served his five month sentence so I can't imagine he would sandbag his testimony considering the terms of his plea deal were that he'd offer testimony.
It's a damn shame COVID didn't get him.
I cannot imagine where his mind will be at a year from now once some of these cases bear fruit.
According to Klasfield, it's actually going to be Nicholas Haigh, former risk manager at DB. Weisselberg postponed for now. Guess it's a scheduling need rather than anything untoward.

I'm a bit confused. I thought when they offer a plea deal for testimony, they do a proffer session where he has to outline what he'd give to the prosecution. Surely it can't be just this, where he remembers nothing? I was expecting something. He did get off damn lightly.

Ah, excellent! This is the witness that Trump and his lawyers were getting all excised about during opening statements. Looking forward to it.
Wasn't expecting him to give evidence in chief though - he is only listed as a rebuttal witness. Maybe he is going rebut Weisselberg?
EDIT: Yep, looks like they are concerned about it...

Reminder that Stormy Daniels said she spanked Trump with a Forbes magazine.
If Covid had taken Trump we don't get 2 months of STOP THE STEAL, no Jan 6, and we might be living in an almost entirely different world.
You had one job Covid…
Significant moment of Haigh's testimony. The DB covenant for a loan Trump obtained in 2011 stated that the guarantor (Trump) needed to maintain a minimum net worth of $2.5B. But ...

Presumably a 2011 loan has been paid off by now, so what does that mean in terms of potential consequences?
So to clarify, were Trump and his team afforded an actual opportunity to get a jury trial? Or was it precluded by the AG's actions?
My understanding is that the AG said "no jury" and Trump's team didn't try to go for a jury, likely because the lawyer knew it wasn't going to happen. (Which the judge has confirmed that it wouldn't have happened.) I've been puzzling over what the difference here is, and it seems like the difference is that everyone was making it out like the lawyer was inept, when in reality she just didn't pick a fight that she knew she couldn't win.
Because people didn't know that. All they knew was that the lawyer didn't check the box and Trump complained. The rest is new information to most folks.
