It's Also Not A Legal Defense

It it a dog whistle to call a Black prosecutor an "animal" controlled by a Jewish financier? Or is it more like an elephant klaxon? pic.twitter.com/ZPuAxtUIaP

Based on this morning's all caps racist screed, maybe Bragg is just waiting for Trump to tire himself out, like a toddler melting down over nap time.

Thanks to the 5th Amendment, we'll never see Trump in court answering these charges from the witness stand, under oath.

In England, it would be odd if he didn't testify.

I'm not knocking the 5th Amendment, I'm just saying it's not the only way to conduct criminal trials.

It would be fun to see Trump on the stand in his own defense.  It's really only the 5th Amendment that's kept him from being buried under the jail by now.

Does anyone take Trump’s panicky Truths seriously at this point besides the prosecutors printing and logging them?

And boy are they having fun!

"Can you believe they want us to be PEACEFUL?" certainly sounds to me like a call to violence https://t.co/Zfdi2CDcAX

Trump’s lawyers, on the other hand, are not having fun.

Interestingly, this is exactly the kind of post I would put on social media were I a target in a criminal investigation and I wanted to be denied bail. pic.twitter.com/yy79EcCHbs

“Every single person investigating me is crazy,” he said, crazily.

Still, we can know the company Trump keeps:

Dimitri Simes (of the Mueller report) concurs with Russian state TV propagandist Vladimir Solovyov that "black racism" is to blame for the looming prosecution of Donald Trump. https://t.co/aQzX6us5m0

I'm not sure that just being in Manhattan is a problem for the jury pool for Trump anymore. Being anywhere among civilized people is more of the problem, now.

Instead of stories about the “political firestorm” that occurs whenever officials even contemplate enforcing the law against Trump, maybe there should be stories explaining that Trump seems to prefer threats and attacks on the legal system to defending himself on the merits. https://t.co/oNF0TxqPY9
