This week has been a decade of legal news so far, and it’s only Wednesday. It’s not likely to slow down as the week comes to an end, either. So tonight, we take up two developments from today. Some counts, but not RICO, dismissed in the Fulton County case
Thank you Joyce. You know what the sad part is that I know that you have to write it this way, but the bottom line is I know his lawyers are the ones coming up with all the information. I don’t think Trump could think his way out of a McDonald’s bag, though he probably wouldn’t want to, I don’t believe he understands what he does. And that’s the sad and scary part and thank you for pointing it out for all of us to realize what’s really going on. It’s a Shelle game. Take care everybody stay strong, vote blue all down the line.
Gosh! How I wish this man would disappear from this earth. I am sick & tired of him! Sick-and-bloody-tired.
I just don't want to hear of or from him anymore. All of the world (I live in Canada), seems to be hanging on his every word. My Europeaan, African, Australian and New Zealand friends tell me the same.
As a general rule, Trial Judge's do not like surprises at Trial least of all Judge McAfee in a broad Georgia RiCO action.
My understanding of the infamous call to Raffensberger, ""All I need (pause) ahh ... is ...
(the exact number of votes that I am short) is that there were 3 possibly 4 other witnesses in the room that can provide the proper evidentiary foundation to defeat a "special demurrer.".
The fact of Trump's call is still in the RICO allegations. Trial testimony is a helluva way to get more factual evidence but, there is no real harm to the Rico case.
Thank you for providing us with your insights and expertise on this judges’ ruling. I now wait to review your opinions on all legal information regarding the matter of Trump’s legal woes.
Trump is holding this entire country in abeyance. How can a man who has broken so many laws dictate that the legal officer (Fani Willis) cannot do the job she worked so hard to do. It is beyond reason to charge her with impropriety when there is a list a mile long for improprieties Trump has disgraced himself with. I am not a lawyer. I am a citizen who is scared to death Trump and his lawyers are going to ruin this country just because he wants to be am emperor. I have had knots in my stomach for eight years because of Trump and I am sick of it. We cannot let him destroy us because of his whims. He has caused all the problems and we need to put an end to it. This judge has also used her whims to delay this case, and should have been taken off the case a long time ago.
Judge* Cannon cannot and will not grant tRump immunity, BUT she will tolerate all the delays that tRump and his "legal" team can muster, including motion upon motion regarding discovery as it pertains to classified material, motions concerning implementation of CIPA protocols, etc. Delay upon delay upon delay, no matter how frivolous and lacking merit will ALWAYS gain Defendant tRump courteous and lengthly consideration by the court, until the final trial date is set for....who knows, early next year? Whatever ever happened to "Justice delayed is Justice denied"?
RICO charges are still held and that is great news. I hope Judge McAfee rules favorable on keeping Willis on.
The only judge that would agree with Trump in the Mar A Lago trial is the judge that would not be on the bench if not for the so-called king. I hope she is shown the door. Bye bye.
It has surely been a busy week and are so grateful that you are keeping us updated, Joyce.
I hope if Judge Cannon rules in favor of 45, Mr.Smith will move to have her taken off the case. What happened with the classified papers, and, the trying to hold/hold on to them, was actually ludicrous, if it wasn't a threat to the USA's security, and, that of our allies!! It seems like a slam dunk ! And, it should be.
Thank you again for all the nights of excellent updates! 🙌
Regarding Judge Cannon: This week "employee 5" gave an interview with CNN because of the judge's decision (which is being challenged by Mr. Smith) to "out" the witnesses and he decided to "get in front" of the "fallout" (my term) from the "crazies" having him identified - and, we all know what he's going to be subjected to. What was interesting to me about what I heard in the interview is that the boxes he was referring to were being moved FROM Mar a Lago to BEDMINSTER! Remember, the FBI found several folders marked classified which were empty. (???) Regarding Trump's absurd (kind of like "absolute immunity") claim it was the PRA which gave him the right to have these documents - calling that HOGWASH is an insult to hogwash. I believe the PRA applies to all documents - including the ones Trump was tearing up and throwing in the waste cans AND the ones Meadows was burning in the fireplace in his office - not JUST classified documents. Who knows what went to Bedminster and how do we KNOW he didn't take the nuclear codes? - as long as Joyce brought it up. To me, the sooner Judge Cannon gives Jack Smith an opportunity to appeal another bogus decision (like outing the witnesses) to the 11th circuit, the sooner there's a different judge on this case. It's bad enough it's in Florida but with her as the judge Trump will find a way to squirm out of justice - once again! (As it stands, she'll make sure it's not heard before the election - which may be good because a South Florida jury will be a tough one for Mr. Smith - especially in her courtroom)
Joyce—If Cannon rules for trump, do you think this will prompt Smith to finally go over her head and appeal?
She has no business being on the bench. A total disgrace.

The Mar-a-Lago case is a HUGE warning that Candidate Trump should not receive classified briefings!
I actually like these rulings. His Honor is short-circuting defendants' grounds for appeal.

Everything Trump touches spoils!
Donald Trump's lawyers are the worst. The law is just a game for them.
If the sycophant judge rules in favor of the psycopath, is that sufficient grounds for Smith to ask for recusal?

Once again I am so glad I read your pieces here. You do keep me sane.

Though I know almost nothing of the law I would ask what is “vague” about tRump’s phone call asking for over 11,000 votes to be changed?
