    We knew the national enquirer paid off another women on his behalf, iunno if this is her or not.

    NBC just got a note slipped out of the room. 34 counts of falsifying business records and conspiracy, relates to hush payments to two separate women.

    They're in the courtroom, which is blacked out and no communications are supposed to be going in our out until it's over. So we'll find out eventually.

    That's a bit of a stickier wicket to actually untangle what culpability he might have to contribute to a national post-covid crime wave. But my point was that he wrote a legalese memo exercising his prosecutorial discretion without regards to the optics and has been attacked by adversaries and nonlawyers ever since, and then he dropped the other Trump case because he thought it was too difficult to prove and got attacked by Democrats. So I just don't see him throwing flimsy claims against the wall to play in the game, it just feels out of character.

    But we don't even know what the state charges are yet. He dropped the Cy Vance tax fraud case, which is separate from this Stormy hush money case. This is actually a main factor in the "by the book" approach that I'm talking about. After he was elected, he circulated an internal memo setting his prosecutorial priorities for his term which included not wasting resources on prosecuting poor kids jumping MTA turnstiles or low level crimes that aren't attached to felonies. Which, regardless of the merits, created all sorts of political drama through to today solely because he wrote a legalese memo about prosecutorial discretion without regard to the political optics.

    I don't think Bragg is throwing things at the wall to make them stick. He dropped the Trump tax fraud case that he inherited a year ago when he took office (and got a lot of flack and resignations over it) because he didn't think he could prove a case beyond a reasonable doubt. Worth remembering that Bragg's been really bad at the optics game since he won his race in 2021 because he's always been a staff attorney and not a real politician. So he's always been by-the-book even to his own detriment. Without seeing the charges, I just have a hard time believing he'd completely flip his persona to throw flimsy charges at the wall just to make national Democrats happy.

    I wonder if they are precluded from re-running for their seats after expulsion?

    He knows they're too pot-committed to ever leave Florida. So he's trying to assert his dominance over a "woke corporation" to please the base/burnish his street cred in advance of his run. And while the army of lawyers are running his team around in circles and buying time on RCID, Iger is publicly declaring Disney's intent to continue prioritizing diversity in its content.

    (I moved your post to the election thread) I think the strategic assessment, which I basically agree with, is that after everything, Trump and Trump-endorsed maga devout just aren't super electable in at least neutrally competitive environments. So to the extent that they remain the largest plurality in GOP primaries, keeping them afloat through to the general election is the best way to keep independents in those races from voting R.

    Mentioned it in the Stormy thread, but more relevant in the election thread: https://twitter.com/juliealdermanb/status/1642851080995217408?s=20 The Dems dropped a public oppo dump on Desantis (who hasn't officially joined the race) so Trump etc. can use it against him in the primary. If the anti-Trump primary vote doesn't consolidate, then Trump probably rolls through like the 2016 primary with a better head start.

    Given Trump winning the primary is the presumed political goal, Dems also dropped their oppo dump on Desantis so the Trump team can use it in the primary.
