Is anyone qualified to sit on a Trump jury?

Tuesday, October 25, 2022

I was not surprised at all to learn that they’re having a bit of trouble picking a jury  for the civil case against the Trump Organization. It seems that a lot of people have preconceived notions about Donald Trump, and although he’s technically not a party, it just might affect their judgment. What a surprise! […]

Trump’s subpoena

Friday, October 14, 2022

I spent part of Thursday afternoon watching the January 6th hearings. One of the pundits on PBS felt that it was a bad move on the committee’s part to subpoena the genius, because-guess what- the Trumpers will criticize them. I think it may work out well in some ways, though I doubt that Trump will […]

A bit of speculation

Tuesday, July 12, 2022

I have to say that I like the January 6th committee’s pattern of having Liz Cheney drop a bombshell at the end of each hearing. Today we learned that the genius tried to tamper with a witness, who refused to take his call, notified his or her lawyer, who notified the committee, which notified the […]

A bit of a surprise yesterday, and…

Wednesday, June 29, 2022

And some more or less random observations. First, to the surprise. I’ve been watching the January 6th hearings on my IPad, and I think they’ve been quite useful, but until yesterday nothing I heard surprised me. Most of it was already known, and what wasn’t already known fit so neatly into the Trumpian pattern that […]

Is Fox ditching Trump?

Monday, June 27, 2022

One has to wonder. I don’t even have a TV, and if I did, I’d still let the folks at Crooks & Liars watch Fox for me, but from what a gather from reading about the folks at Fox, and Brian Kilmeade in particular, one must wonder if a decision has been made that it […]

Those were the days

Tuesday, March 29, 2022

So it turns out that there is a seven and a half hour gap in the White House phone records on the day of the insurrection. I was a Watergate fan. The summer the hearings were taking place I was lifeguarding at Indian Well State Park in Shelton, and when the hearings were taking place […]

The vultures are circling

Tuesday, February 22, 2022

These are discouraging times, but we must take our pleasures where we can. It is somewhat satisfying to watch things play out in the courts as the genius is faced with the reality that he is no longer entitled to the bogus presidential immunity that has somehow become black letter law in this country. The […]

Trump loses in court yet again

Thursday, February 17, 2022

So the genius and his offspring have been ordered to appear for depositions in New York. (Just one of many stories here). And, sort of by the way, where does he find these lawyers who don’t seem to be either stable or geniuses? But I digress. He’ll appeal, but it’s a state case, so the […]

The rich are different from you and me

Tuesday, February 15, 2022

If you are an inveterate reader of blogs, as am I, in addition to or in lieu of the mass media, you have no doubt read lots of speculation about the chances of Trump being indicted. I didn’t practice criminal law, as I learned early on that in that area of practice, it’s ordinarily two […]

Some things won’t fit in a memory hole

Monday, November 22, 2021

At the dawn of 2020 I made some predictions about the coming year. Some of them have stood the test of time, others have come true, but not in the way I predicted. For instance I predicted that Chuck Shumer and Joe Biden would preserve the filibuster. I didn’t see Joe and Krysten coming. On […]
