  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Trump is seeking more than $500 million in “actual, compensatory, incidental, and punitive damages” from Cohen and any profits that he made from his podcast and books.
Indeed, Cohen is already proving to be an issue for Bragg.
Law enforcement sources revealed a “supervising detective” assisting Bragg’s case against Trump has been suspended for his contact with Cohen.

Discovery should indeed give an opportunity to get a better look at behind-the-scene maneuvers to frame Trump.

It’s not “witness tampering” if one uses the courts to accomplish the deed?

Whatever Cohen revealed to the NYC courts was part of a plea agreement, and defendants often turn on their kingpins to avoid longer sentences.

Trump was lucky. Manafort never turned. Weisselberg never turned.

Trump pardoned Manafort eventually. He was lucky to avoid those two indictments.

With Cohen the damage is done. The lawsuit will make his supporters more sympathetic to his alleged persecution, but the typical NYC juror is more grounded in reality than that.

Abd $500 mil won't be a get out of jail free card. The sentence won't be fine or time.

Let's not forget that the authorities during the trump's time in office were the ones who threw Cohen back in prison over a book he was writing.

Cohen has been our retribution!
Yup, and that was when Covid was raging in prisons. It was because of Covid that Cohen was under house arrest rather than in a jail cell.

Bingo. Cohen flipped. Alan Dershowitz is slipping.

I predict this will literally be laughed out of court.

O.k. Maybe not literally.

The order from U.S. Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart also put strict conditions on Trump's access to the materials.

"The Discovery materials, along with any information derived therefrom, shall not be disclosed to the public or the news media, or disseminated on any news or social media platform, without prior notice to and consent of the United States or approval of the Court," the order filed on Monday said.

It also specified that Trump "shall not retain copies" and that he may only review case materials "under the direct supervision of Defense Counsel or a member of Defense Counsel's staff."

It's almost like they don't trust him to handle sensitive documents responsibly.

This is hilariously ironic.
[Oops, those magenta circles do look alike.]

You should maybe wait to see what is discovered in discovery before you determine how amusing you find it.
