Well, when your wife is involved, you don't want to consider a coup attempt a crime.

Steinglass: Were you aware that expenditures by corporations made for the purpose of influencing an election in coordination with or at the request of a political campaign are unlawful?

Pecker: I did.

Did you report to the FEC?

Pecker: No.

I'm struck, again, that SCOTUS could have easily dismissed this Trump argument in December because it was as stupid then as it is now, but they've let it get this far to help Trump get to the election.

The opening round of questions is about the 'official acts' question. Trump is arguing that [trying to steal the election] is an 'official act' that the President is immune from prosecution. Roberts is saying that the trial is *about* whether the act is official.

The reason the defendant cannot attend the SCOTUS hearing on whether he should be prosecuted for his crimes during his tenure as president is because he is mandated to be in court during his trial for the crimes committed while he was campaigning for president.

MAGAts were a part of history on Jan 6. Maybe the reason so few people are showing up for tRump's trial is because so many of them are in jail now and those who aren't don't want to join them.

Ugh!

In true tRumpian fasion, he always omits Loose Cannon. It's not even subtle that he thinks she's on his side.

The people who actually thought 'If you can't beat them, try to throw out their votes' don't think they should be held accountable.

Real journalism there, NYT.
Non-stop coverage of the indicted guy where you don't fact check his lies, but you're mad that Biden doesn't trust you?

Looking forward to seeing all of the invisible protesters again today.

This sentence from Manhattan prosecutor Chris Conroy describes Donald Trump's entire life:

“He knows what he’s not allowed to do, and he does it anyway.”

Do you realize how much of a fukcing criminal you have to be to have all your co-conspirators indicted while you're in the middle of a trial for some totally different shit

“Why didn’t the National Enquirer get the Pulitzer?” 🤦‍♀️

Well now this is a hell of a point.

'Antisemitism will not be tolerated in Texas.'

Letting the woman AND fetus die somehow makes sense?

What do women say?

Christina was also in tRump’s “War Room” at the Willard on Jan 5 and was the lawyer who signed the document saying there were no more documents at Mar-a-Loco when there clearly were.

Remember when a trump lawyer told Epshteyn that it was probably a bad idea to refer to the electors as “fake”? And then he said Kelli Ward said to keep it under wraps? And that Biggs was in on it? That was awesome.
