"A court-ordered financial auditor has caught Donald Trump quietly moving $40 million from the Trump Organization into a personal bank account—seemingly so the former president could pay his whopping $29 million tax bill. Trump isn’t supposed to be moving any money around without alerting Barbara S. Jones, a former federal judge in New York tasked with babysitting the Trump Organization for its relentlessly shady business practices."

The #AppellateCourt did not "smack down" Judge #Engeron's #gagOrder. They simply ordered an administrative stay while they evaluate the situation; a standard procedure when there's a #dispute. They haven't in any way ruled on the merits. Stefanik knows this, and she knows she has no authority over the matter.

@Jamesboswell @jon @ajkohn "It seems to say again that clicks= important ranking factor... Am i being biased or is that what Nayak is saying?"
That was not what he was saying.
Most of the discussion was about how Google's Quality Rater system generates a lot of data (IS data) used in machine learning experiments (over half a million) -AND- how Google also uses query log data (going back 18 months and more recently 13 months) to train machine learning models (sometimes with the IS data, sometimes not).
There was some other discussion about how various algorithms select documents and then refine the selection sets, as well as how some algorithms score the documents (all in response to queries).
And there was some other incidental stuff.
All of this was pretty much well documented in the public domain already, except for some algorithm/system names.

I see the word 'perjury' being thrown around here, mainly with the words 'Donald Trump Jr.'. Although it is a civil trial, perjury can still be prosecuted. Penalty is a prison term. Has to be, if you think about it. If it's not prosecuted, what the hell does taking the oath mean? (Edit: I'm not a lawyer but I did spend the night in a Holiday Inn Express.) 😅

Thankfully, Justice #Engoron agreed w/ #Kise as well & said he's only going to base his #ruling on what's in front of him, meaning the #evidence presented in this #trial.
#Trump atty moved on to #disgorgement (the #NYAG is seeking $250M in purportedly ill-gotten gains from Trump et al).
Kise: “There's no demonstration of a [connection] between the purported ill-gotten gains & the defendants' (conduct).”
Thursday, November 9, 2023, is DAY 26 in the #TrumpTrial. The #NYAG rested her case.*
#Trump defense begins Mon.
Today, just motions.
1. Trump seeks a “directed verdict;” a ruling saying the AG failed to back up her claims. (doomed)
2. NYAG seeks to bar 3 of 4 Trump experts for relevancy.
3. Defense also floated possibly moving for a mistrial using a bias argument centered on #Engoron’s principal #LawClerk. They’re on thin ice there.

Aus dem Gerichtssaal - Iuventa Crew - Solidarity at Sea
Das Strafverfahren geht in eine entscheidende Phase.
"Am 13. Oktober nahmen die Angeklagten die Möglichkeit wahr, sich direkt an das Gericht zu wenden. Ihre Stimmen, Erinnerungen und Argumente wurden zum ersten Mal seit Beginn der Ermittlungen gegen sie vor sieben Jahren zum Gegenstand des Verfahrens.
Die Aussagen der iuventa-Crew machen deutlich, dass die Staatsanwaltschaft einen politisch motivierten Fall konstruiert hat. Wir haben konkrete und nachprüfbare Beweise vorgelegt, dass die erhobenen Vorwürfe völlig haltlos und absurd sind. Die Staatsanwaltschaft hingegen hat weder relevante Zeugen befragt, noch das seit Jahren verfügbare Datenmaterial ausgewertet.
Darüber hinaus haben wir hervorgehoben, wie die Absicht der Staatsanwaltschaft, gegen uns zu ermitteln, zu einer Vielzahl von Verstößen gegen die Grundrechte von Menschen auf der Flucht geführt und direkt zum Tod von Menschen beigetragen hat."

The day began w/ yesterday’s drama. Trump attys accused #NY Supreme Court Justice Arthur #Engoron's #LawClerk, #AllisonGreefield, of bias, & the asserted she influences the judge.
Yesterday, Engoron warned Trump atty #Kise not to speak about court staff, & noted a pattern of #misogyny in Kise’s behavior toward women in the courtroom.
#JackSmith says that #Trump also commented on #MarkMeadows' credibility & anticipated testimony in a press conference at a #NewYork state courthouse where Trump faces a #civil #fraud #trial.
"The defendant's targeting included insinuating that if the reporting were true, the Chief of Staff had lied & had been coerced, & the defendant sent a clear public message to the Chief of Staff, intended to intimidate him," Smith writes.

#Chesebro’s #guilty #plea is the latest #legal victory for #FultonCounty, #Georgia DA #FaniWillis. In addition to flipping one of the key members of the alleged #conspiracy, prosecutors now avoid a #trial in which they would have had to showcase much of their #evidence against #Trump & others, which might have offered lawyers for others a legal advantage heading into other trials.
#legal #law #criminal #Racketeering #RICO #obstruction #fraud #ElectionInterference
#Chesebro, a former #lawyer for Donald #Trump’s campaign, pleaded guilty Friday to #illegally #conspiring to overturn #Trump’s #2020election loss in #Georgia. The #plea came in just hours after #jury selection began in the highly anticipated case, ahead of an expected #trial next month.
Chesebro pleaded #guilty to a single #felony count of #conspiracy to file false documents, & faces a #prison sentence of 1 – 5 yrs. He also agreed to #truthfully #testify in the case against others.
Just saw Powell's hearing & the deal is subject to an obligation to testify "truthfully"against other co-defendant's in subsequent proceedings
The quality of the deal, depends on the quality of the testimony that the DA has assessed that Powell can provide & against whom that testimony will be applied, which has not yet been disclosed, but the "bottom line" is that Powell is NOT getting off "scott free."
She's getting convicted on 11 misdemeanor charges presented against her & is getting 6 yrs probation w/o jail time & must pay certain fees & write an "apology letter" to the citizens of the State of GA on the condition that she continues to cooperate with the DA in the prosecution of any or all others in the RICO case, likely including Trump.
Her testimony as required in the GA case can also be used in the Fed fraud case against Trump in DC which is being prosecuted by Jack Smith. So, Powell's still subject to a great deal of additional liability in that case.
#Attorney #SidneyPowell becomes the 2nd of Trump’s 18 co-defendants in the #racketeering case to plead #guilty following #ScottHall, a bail bondsman who took a #PleaDeal last month.
It’s unclear what the sudden plea deal means for Kenneth #Chesebro, another 2020 #Trump atty who was set to go on #trial alongside #Powell next wk.
#Federal prosecutors pressing a similar #ElectionInterference case in #Washington against Trump have also identified Powell as an alleged Trump co-conspirator.
#Powell’s #guilty #plea, which she entered in a court hearing in #Atlanta, makes her the first member of #Trump’s close advisers to admit to #crimes related to the #2020election. She had been slated to go on #trial Monday in #FultonCounty, #Georgia, on charges that she joined Trump in the alleged #racketeering #conspiracy & helped engineer the #breach of #election equipment in a GA county.
"Gag orders limiting what trial participants can say outside of court are not uncommon...
While the Supreme Court has upheld restricting defense lawyers’ ability to speak about a case in public, it has never addressed a gag order on a defendant. Most defendants do not publicly speak about their cases, nor do they typically have a huge following of ardent supporters"

#NYAG #Amer questions #JeffMcConney more about how he #valued specific #Trump #properties & what info he may have excluded from his accountants’ assessment.

Trump's legal team this morning filed a stay request to the state #Appellate Division (#AD1), to halt the #trial & #dismiss #Engoron’s #SummaryJudgment. #Kise, who was Florida’s solicitor general, (the top FL appellate lawyer). So presumably he’s dealing w/ they stay.
Trump’s lawyers plan to take action today against #Engoron's #SummaryJudgment.
They plan to file a #stay pending #appeal before #NY #AD1. In court yesterday, they refused to reveal the #scope of the requested stay.
Engoron's ruling found that Trump & his companies had committed repeated #fraud, & canceled #business certs for LLCs “controlled or beneficially owned” by Trump, his sons #DonJr & #EricTrump, & 2 #TrumpOrganization execs.

“…in (Engoron’s) order today they ordered him to disclose secret equity partners in any of the interests in his NY properties, now I’ve been theorizing for years now, w/2 other editors & 2 other journalists, that Trump has these other investors, that his piece of the equity is not really his piece, that he has loaned it out.

Back to my #Trump #Fraud #Trial #Day4 🧵
The trial gaveled back in session after a lunch.
Trump’s lawyers argued w/ lawyers from the AG's office about the motion Trump's team plans to file for a #stay pending their #appeal. Trump's team said they have not filed yet, but plan to file in front of the First Dept of the #Appellate Div tomorrow. They refused to disclose the scope of the requested stay before Judge #Engoron, insisting that the motion will be presented to the AD1, not the trial #court.

#McConney testified that he retired earlier this yr & was given a severance of $500k, $125k of which he’s still owed but isn’t contingent on anything other than his “being alive.”
He blamed #Bender's #accounting firm for the #financial statements the AG says were grossly inflated.
“We, being the #TrumpOrganization, did not prepare the statements. #Mazars, as our #accountant, did,” he said.
McConney was the 1st witness for the Manhattan DA in the #criminal #trial against the #TrumpOrg last yr.
#Suarez also tried to insinuate that #Mazars tried to make #Bender the fall guy by sending him in to meet w/the DA w/only the counsel for Mazars. (Counsel for the company would owe duties to the co alone & is supposed to warn employees or fmr employees that in the event of a conflict, their duties are to the co.)
Bender was called by the defense in the #TrumpOrganization #tax #fraud #trial last year & spent 3 days on the stand as their lawyers suggested he failed to alert #Trump to the scam.
Back to #Trump #Fraud #Trial #Day4 🧵
Judge #Engoron has set a timeline for Trump to dissolve LLCs
Engoron issued a ruling to make sure Trump & the other defendants in the case are complying w/his order last week to cancel their #NewYork #business certificates.
The judge formally extended the deadline for Trump's team & the AG's office to submit suggestions for an independent receiver to oversee the dissolution of the companies by Oct. 26.
One of his lawyers in the #ClassifiedDocuments case, Chris #Kise, is also defending #Trump in the #NY #civil #fraud #trial.
Trump’s lawyers also claimed that there have been delays in obtaining & reviewing the classified records that #SpecialCounsel #JackSmith pointed to in his indictment.
Things got off to a rocky start at #Trump's #NY #fraud #trial. Trump lawyer #AlinaHabba went on a rant about how the #court denied Trump a #jury trial, and how unfair it is. Judge #Engoron had to interrupt her to explain that the reason why there's no jury is that she herself forgot to submit the appropriate request for one. I'd call this #AmateurHour, but that would be an insult to amateurs.

I greatly appreciate New York Attorney General Letitia James, and her staff, doing the very dirty job of prosecuting a family of notorious criminals. This family has cheated, harassed, and stolen from, the people of New York for almost a century! Let the trial starting today be the beginning of a very public and permanent reckoning against the Mango Menace and his truly awful family! I am sick of them and their ugly, greedy, loathsome behavior. I look forward to the day, hopefully soon, that we no longer hear about any of them in the news.

She #recalled to #prison after being #charged on #suspicion of #incitement to #violence for a #speech she made at #LondonTransPride in #July where she said: “If you see a #TERF [trans-exclusionary radical feminist], #punch them in the f**king #face.”

Similarly, Jones ruled that #JeffreyClark’s case…could continue even as the #criminal process in #FultonCounty played out. The judge mentioned in his ruling that some #defendants who had made similar requests to have their cases moved to federal court had gone on to face #trial w/o the request being resolved.
The rulings all but guarantee that they will be booked this week. #FaniWillis set a deadline of noon this Fri for defendants to #surrender before #warrants went out for their #arrest.
I doubt his lawyers will even attempt to introduce it at trial.
If Trump insists, it could be fun. Submitting forgeries, lies, and speculation into evidence is ... frowned upon.
“Singer (the atty who wrote the brief)…mentioned #Trump’s increasingly crowded #legal calendar, noting that the govt’s proposal to go to #trial in Jan 'presents numerous conflicts' w/…'other pending matters.'”
Again, if you can’t defend yourself against multiple criminal charges in multiple jurisdictions, then don’t commit multiple crimes in multiple jurisdictions.
In a filing last wk, #JackSmith's team requested that jury selection begin Dec & that the #trial start… on Jan 2, 2024. That date, per Snr Asst #SpecialCounsel Molly Gaston, "would vindicate the public’s strong interest in a #SpeedyTrial—…guaranteed by the #Constitution & fed #law…, but of particular significance here, where the defendant… is charged w/ #conspiring to overturn the legit results of the 2020election, #obstruct the certification of the election, & discount citizens’ legit votes."
#Trump requests April 2026 #trial date
This says a lot about his consciousness of guilt.
“In a court filing Thursday, Trump's attorneys recommended starting the trial in April 2026, more than two years after prosecutors are seeking to get the trial underway.”

Excellent, really well done Laffy. Followed your play by play on Trump trial and enjoyed your comments as always 😀.
@realTuckFrumper. @Teri_Kanefield and/or @GottaLaff, isn't #Trump clearly violating the terms set forth by the #judge in this attack on the idea of a fair #trial in DC?

"Trump, appearing by video conference... glowered at the camera as Judge Juan Manuel Merchan advised him to cancel all other obligations for the duration of the #trial, which could last several weeks...
Merchan said he arrived at the March 25 trial date [in the heat of presidential primary season] after discussions with Trump’s lawyers and prosecutors. Trump’s lawyer, Susan Necheles, said #Trump knew about the date prior to Tuesday’s hearing"

"The former president also said he could not remember when he was married to his various wives, but could find out. Asked if he had affairs while married, Trump said: 'I don’t know.''"
I wasn't surprised when this man was elected in 2016, and won't be surprised if he's elected in 2024, regardless of this trial's outcome.
