He was actually indicted by a grand jury of his peers, and then a State jury of his peers. How does that make #Bragg or #Biden or #DOJ responsible? #TruthMatters #ConvictedFelon #34for45 #criminaltrump
#HouseRepublicans are summoning Manhattan DA #AlvinBragg to #Congress after #Trump’s #conviction on all counts in his #ElectionInterference #FalsifiedBusinessRecords NY trial.
The #House #Judiciary Cmte’s select subcmte on the *weaponization of the federal government* on Fri invited #Bragg & one of his prosecutors, Matthew #Colangelo, to testify on June 13. The cmte said the hearing “will examine the unprecedented political prosecution” of Trump.
The cmte is led by #GymJordan.
While I’m amazed and mesmerized with the court outcome today, I’m also having an overwhelming sense of gravity.
I think no matter what the jury had returned, I would have been amazed. The very spectacle itself is amazing. Justice was carried out by the very happening of a fair trial; I’m thankful for that and I agree with the verdict.
But this is not good for our country. Celebrating a former president’s conviction is a testament to how off the rails we’ve gotten. MAGA is toxic; Trump himself is and breeds toxicity.
I’m happy for justice. I’m sad for where we are and how we got here. No Trump supporter is going to change their mind because of these convictions, that would’ve happened years ago if their minds were to ever be changed.
History have mercy on us.

Just goes to show you what the pundits/experts know

The decision to convict #Trump on all 34 counts is significant. Jurors could have acquitted him on some and convicted on others. But the fact that they went all-in, and relatively quickly, suggests they believed the wider story prosecutors told at trial. It is a full-throated win for #Bragg and the worst possible outcome for Trump.
Trump’s conviction on all 34 counts is a full-blown victory for DA #AlvinBragg

I wonder what the appeals process will look like. Everyone is (correctly) focused on today's adjudication and July's sentencing, but what about the appeal?

Hat die Strategie des Staatsanwalts im Trump-Prozess eine Chance?
Die Argumentation der Anklage im Schweigegeld-Prozess gegen Ex-US-Präsident Trump ist kompliziert. Denn es geht nicht um den Vorwurf der Zahlung selbst. Hat Staatsanwalt Bragg überhaupt eine Chance? Von A. Passenheim. Von A. Passenheim.
When Trump's #DOJ investigated and prosecuted Michael Cohen for his role in the hush money payoff, then Attorney General #BillBarr ordered the Southern District of New York to cease its investigation of #MichaelCohen’s co-conspirator--Donald #Trump.
The failure of the DOJ to pursue Trump in 2018 was #PoliticalCorruption at its height. The fact that Manhattan District Attorney #AlvinBragg picked up the prosecution three years later is a credit to #Bragg—not a ground for criticism.

![Text Shot: The fact that Bill Barr was able to quash the federal investigation into Trump also explains the central legal theory of the state prosecution. Trump is charged with a state crime of falsifying documents in furtherance of a second crime—election interference, which is a federal crime.

Donald Trump’s Trial of the Century
“Would Trump have lost the 2016 Presidential election if #StormyDaniels had gone public with her story?
Prosecutors in Manhattan think maybe so. This question is at the heart of this week’s criminal trial against #Trump—the first against a former President in American history. Trump faces thirty-four felony counts of falsifying business records, which the Manhattan District Attorney, Alvin #Bragg, claims was part of a scheme to “conceal damaging information and unlawful activity from American voters before and after the 2016 election.”

#Trump urges the Court to reject the DA #Bragg’s "invitations to expand the #GagOrder, which is already an unlawful prior restraint that improperly restricts [Trump's] campaign advocacy."
The filing also seems to accuse Judge #Merchan of impropriety once again. During last week's hearing, Trump atty Todd Blanche suggested that Merchan was complicit in the DA's prosecutorial misconduct re: discovery obligations, Merchan was pissed off.
NERD WORD OF THE WEEK: Contumacy
Contumacy: A legal term that refers to a person’s refusal to follow judges’ orders or appear in court when summoned. Someone who is contumacious could be found in contempt of court. In #Bragg’s written request to expand the gag order, he asked #Merchan to warn #Trump that his “recent conduct is contumacious and direct him to immediately desist.”

After Trump attacks hush money judge’s daughter, DA seeks broader gag order
The prosecutor in Donald Trump’s upcoming hush money trial has asked the judge to clarify whether a gag order issued for the former president this week bars him from publicly attacking the judge’s adult daughter — and to expand the order if it doesn’t.
Manhattan District Attorney #Alvin #Bragg made the request after social media posts by Trump attacking the #daughter of New York Supreme Court #Justice #Juan #Merchan for her professional affiliations with Democratic candidates and politicians.
As Trump’s #April15 trial date nears, he and his advocates insist Merchan is influenced by his daughter’s job and her ties to Democrats.
Bragg’s office wrote in a letter filed Thursday and unsealed Friday that in light of the attacks, the judge
“should make abundantly clear that the [gag order] 
protects family members of the Court, the District Attorney, and all other individuals mentioned in the Order.”
It also said that Merchan should “
warn [Trump] that his recent conduct is contumacious and direct him to immediately desist” and that ignoring the warning should warrant sanctions.

Manhattan DA #Bragg fires shot across bow, telling judge the "properly read" gag order prohibits #Trump from attacking judge's daughter.
He wants judge to "warn" Trump to stop, under threat of contempt sanctions

Ok now I think I get this motion. DA wants to make crystal-clear Trump cannot attack his family. Gag order, read fairly, encompasses DA’s fam, but not 100% clear. Judge’s daughter discussed just for optics. 1/
#Trump hush money trial briefly postponed until mid-April, judge rules
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin #Bragg had said he would support the trial being delayed 30 days, while Trump’s legal team requested that it be postponed for 90 days. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-hush-money-trial-briefly-postponed-april-judge-rules-rcna143612
