Would it be a good move for President Trump's legal team to insist on pushing for his right to a speedy trial? As in, "put up or shut up?"

Just curious...
With all President Trump has going on how likely is it that he directed or even knew how the entry in ledger was made? Wouldn't he have "people" for that?

There has been talk of donating to President Trump. I've been getting lots of spam calls and texts regarding donations, but who knows the place to donate where donation is properly handled for him?

Kinda surprised to see Thomas Massie endorse Ron DeSantis.

I mean, shrugs...

maybe a bit OT, but while there is so much noise about Donald Trump being charged w 34 counts that no one understands,

this also happened this week:

Leonardo DiCaprio took the stand Monday as the first blockbuster witness in the star-studded trial of former Fugees member Pras Michel.

Michel is accused of participating in a global campaign-finance conspiracy funded by Jho Low, a Malaysian businessman who allegedly stole billions of dollars from a Malaysian sovereign wealth fund, 1MDB

Though both Michel and Low are both facing charges in the US, Low remains at large so Michel is on trial alone.

Fugees Rapper Pras Michel and Financier Charged in Illegal Scheme to Raise Money for Obama

One of the founding members of the hip-hop group the Fugees and a fugitive Malaysian financier have been charged with conspiring to violate federal campaign finance law by funneling millions of dollars worth of foreign money into the 2012 presidential election, the Justice Department said Friday.

A four-count indictment accuses the financier, Low Taek Jho, of transferring more than $21 million from overseas to the rapper Prakazrel Michel, known as Pras, from June 2012 through that November. Prosecutors contend that Mr. Michel then gave $865,000 of that money to a network of straw donors who used it to make campaign contributions to a candidate identified as Candidate A.

While the indictment unsealed on Friday does not specifically name the candidate in question — who is accused of no wrongdoing — it clearly refers to former President Barack Obama. The indictment includes allusions to Candidate A having a presidential administration and hosting an event at the White House that Mr. Low either “attended or arranged for his associates to attend.”

it is not clear where the other 20 million went to

A key member of the Federal Election Commission today rejected the Manhattan district attorney’s indictment of former President Donald Trump as a violation of federal election laws.

“It’s not a campaign finance violation. It’s not a reporting violation of any kind,” said FEC Commissioner James E. “Trey” Trainor. …

“I don’t know how you get around the evidence that both the Department of Justice in their investigation of the federal campaign finance issues and the Federal Election Commission in their ultimate jurisdiction over campaign finance issues, neither of them found there to be any violations whatsoever, and I think the jury is going to see that and they’re going to have to rely upon the fact that both the law enforcement experts and the civil enforcement experts, as far as campaign finance are concerned, didn’t find any violation of the law here,” said Trainor.

prosecutors are generally not allowed to withhold charges in an arraignment. An arraignment is supposed to formally satisfy the constitutional requirement that defendants get fully apprised of the charges against them. It’s not unusual to add counts to indictments after arraignments as investigations proceed, but it’s unheard-of to predicate misdemeanors into felonies on the basis of covering up another felony without naming the felony on which the other felony charges are predicated. We do not allow prosecutors to use secret charges in American courtrooms, or at least we didn’t until now.

Bragg has no more authority to enforce federal campaign law than he does to charge crimes that occur in other states.

This isn't just about trying to get him on crimes, it's also about damaging his image, getting out negatives on Trump that will cause the middle voters to tilt away from him, the left doesn't really have a candidate that is appealing to the middle Americans, so the only goal is to get them to move away from the other side, perhaps even, stay home.

There is an article about a Playboy model who is back in public, saying that Trump paid Hush Money to her, you get one woman, it's suspect that it happened, you get two, well, it gets traction, they are hoping there are more that will come forward and say he paid them too or at least had extramarital affairs with them. The Weinstein approach to politics.

This is the left using Cohen and Stormy Daniels crazy accusations to spin a narrative that will cause those in the middle with conservative values to not vote for Trump over philandering activities.

Its not hard to believe for many women that Trump had sexual relationships with these women and probably many others, based on his playboy background and super wealth, so it's also designed to change the woman vote away because of his sexual activities in the past. Change the way suburban married and divorced woman vote....

Trump won't see jail, and the charges will be dropped, but the sex scandals will be kept alive for those reasons...

Exactly...
And women make up the majority of voters.

Heck fire, some of them Playboy Bunnies. I might be inclined. I mean, 20 or 30 bucks.. . That Stormy thing is kind of nasty looking. Seems to have gained some weight.

Enough of that.

OK Para. Sorry sir.

For real? I didn't know that.
What's the ratio? Is it a large disparity?
I'm genuinely curious.

According to the Current Population Survey, 2020 voter turnout was 68.4% for women and 65.0% for men. About 9.7 million more women than men voted.

Are there more registered Democrats than Republicans? So if every registered voter showed up to vote, The Democrats would win every time?. Never really understood the voting percentage thing only because sometimes they don't vote for their party, or the voting system is rigged.

I know at least one woman in that % who voted had been dead for 20 years. Former resident of my house who died 5 years before I bought it. Confirmed when I submitted her name and address to the holiness post election.

Remember Viktor Bout, the "Merchant of Death", we traded for the idiot doper Brittany Griner?

Seems he fears for Trump's safety in the U.S.

^ I don't think Presiden't Trump's life is in danger. He has Secret Service protection and if you watched this weekend's UFC, you would see how thousands of people cheered him.
