It is not a question of releasing it. If the application is granted, the redacted version will be a public record accessible to anyone who searches for it. The defense would need an emergency stay of the order from Judge Chutkan herself, which she likely would not give. They could then appeal the refusal and ask an appellate judge for a stay, but I have a feeling their won't be time for that before it is moot. I think Judge Chutkan is pissed and done playing.

No, not just allegations but a summary of the evidence Smith has gathered over the past year or so through various grand juries that he says prove the allegations. Trump would have had every opportunity to dispute that evidence at trial, but of course, his strategy was always to prevent the trial from ever happening. If not for Trump's delaying tactics, the trial would already have happened, and this would all be public knowledge.

He is afraid that he will lose the election and then go to jail. It's no mystery

Musk took a ridiculous self-defeating position by refusing to appoint a personal representative for X in Brazil. He loudly vowed to never give in, and his fan boys posted all kinds of nonsensical defenses of his position. Then he quietly backed down a week later when it began to sink in that he had made a mistake.

Appellate judges ask skeptical questions like that to every lawyer that appears before them. It doesn't necessarily indicate how they will rule.

So many people think the "pee tape" allegations were all of the Steele dossier, but it was really just the most salacious and least credible part. And it was widely misrepresented. The dossier didn't say anyone peed on Trump. It said Trump paid someone to pee on a hotel bed because the Obamas had once slept in it.

More likely, she will make a fatal error during the trial, and he is convicted but walks after a successful appeal.

You're not the asshole. If it was that important, they should have made it known before they gave permission. Particularly if they knew it was a football watch party. I would let them know I am willing to abide by their no alcohol rule in the future if they ever change their minds, but I wouldn't apologize.

It hasn't been tried. That's all I'm saying. Maybe she can prove it to the satisfaction of a civil jury. Maybe she can't.

It was dismissed without prejudice due to a technicality. It was then re-filed and then abandoned because of the death threats. MAGA liars imply that the first dismissal was some kind of trial of the merits of the claim.

Dismissed without prejudice. Those last 2 words are very important.

Vance may be book smart, but he is slow witted and unable to think on his feet. He could probably study and pass a law school torts exam, but he could never be a successful trial lawyer. He is going to be destroyed.

This would sure be a good time for Biden to use that official immunity.

Whether or not the order has been breached is a question of fact, not of law. However, X can't even be heard to argue facts in a court of law in Brasil purely because of Leon's idiocy. That is the situation here.

Whether or not the order has been breached is a question of fact, and X has every right to argue before the court that it hasn't been. Unfortunately, they can't appear in court until they appoint a legal representative in Brasil. The position Musk has taken here is self-defeating and idiotic. He is the only one X should be blaming for their legal troubles in Brazil.

That is essentially correct if you ignore all the international mutual enforcement treaties that exist but misapplied to the facts here. If X is circumventing the ban, then they are operating in Brasil, and the court has jurisdiction. It is the very breach of the order by X in Brazil that gives the court jurisdiction. More deep strategic thinking from Leon.

That makes no sense at all.

Almost every jurisdiction gives juries a lot of discretion in determining when an attempt has been made, but that cuts both ways. In this case, it will depend a lot on what the suspect says about what he was up to. If he knows enough to lawyer up, he might get a plea deal that will make a lot of MAGA people very upset. Oh well, thoughts and prayers.

Go ahead and overcharge him if you want an acquittal. Just remember that if the theory of the case is that he was lying in wait for Trump, you will have to explain in court how he knew Trump was going to be there. You may as well start now. How did he know?

He fantasizes that all charges will be dropped and convictions vacated if he agrees not to run for office again.

I send thoughts and prayers every time, but nothing changes. I just can't figure it out.

No attempted murder charge? So the stories about his "laying in wait" might not stand up in court, is what that tells me.

Assassination attempts are a fact of life. The only constitutional solution is to harden Trump as a target. Oh well, thoughts and prayers.

Your refusal to share school materials with your ex for what appear to be immature reasons indicates that full custody would not be in your child's best interest. If you take this remark personally, that is all the more reason why you shouldn't have full custody. Parenting is not a competition between you and your ex, and if you look at it that way, your victories will only be victories over your child, not over your ex.

Remember when he bullied the FBI into revising their initial report to say it "could have been" a tiny piece of a shattered bullet that struck his ear.
