The Trump Crime Family - Legal Issues

He's trying to another Rubicon. Unfortunate that the first one, Jan 6th, didn't get him thrown into Leavenworth immediately. But he pulled off the con that he was too strong to mess with.

If he had an army now he would order it into action. But he actually doesn't. All he can do is throw out appeals for stochastic terrorism (somebody steps in) and hope somebody does.

But I call it a Rubicon because there for sure would be no going back after a court got shot up.

This one, yet another delaying tactic is still open and the NY court of appeals will need to decide on this before trial starts (my guess), or they will ignore this and move on with the trial.

Two people with knowledge of the matter said that Mr. Trump’s lawyers on Monday had planned to file the action calling on the appeals court to overturn a gag order that Justice Merchan recently imposed on the former president. The order prevents Mr. Trump from attacking witnesses, prosecutors and the judge’s own family.

Court records showed on Monday that Mr. Trump had begun the process of filing the action against Justice Merchan, though the papers were not immediately made public.

Their strategy seems to be appeal everything that can be appealed at the 11th hour for maximizing delays.

Allen Weisselberg, the former chief financial officer of the Trump Organization, was sentenced Wednesday to spend five months in the infamous Rikers Island complex in New York City—the same facility he served time in just months ago.

The legal saga now appears to be complete for Weisselberg, who pleaded guilty last month to two counts of perjury that stemmed from him lying while under questioning by the New York Attorney General’s Office in 2020.

Trump has seemingly lost his last bid to delay where he wanted the appeals court to remove Merchan from the case. There was one more appeal he made to the same court challenging the gag order, but so far have not seen any updates. But that's a lost cause anyway, only filed as a delay tactic.

Get ready for the last minute "medical emergency". Surely the trial can't begin if he's hospitalized.

Easy peasy. His new doctor, an osteopath is also his golfing buddy at his NJ golf club. Pulled his back swinging his club?

A pulled back isn't life threatening. They need an excuse, er, reason for him to be hospitalized. Given that he (they say) is such a fine physical specimen it's going to have to be a whopper.

The third delay attempt this week is simply mind boggling to say the least and the Appeals Court did not even give him an opportunity to argue the case.

In the recently denied request, Trump's lawyers were seeking an indefinite delay so they could remove Merchan as presiding judge and challenge several of his rulings, AP reports.

They claimed Merchan had "exceeded his authority" by not delaying the case until the Supreme Court rules on whether Trump, as a former president, has immunity from criminal prosecution.

How does his presidential immunity even apply here when the payoff to Stormy happened way before his election for president? Shouldn't some of his attorneys be sanctioned for bringing such trivial attempts to delay the case from moving forward?
