just a heads up John Turdley said they have no case so they might as well wrap it up and head home

I like New York in this one. They have a strong bench and home field advantage. West Palm Beach has a weak bench. Their top bench player was like a parking attendant just last year. West Palm also has a tough schedule ahead of them @Atlanta and @DC.

Must win.

so, walked by the secretary up in front of my office and she's got Foxnews on...and they are showing the motorcade of Trump going to the trial.  I blurt out: "Hey its OJ!"  I hope she found that deeply insulting. 

[pfife]

a lot of republic party callers to cspan this morning blaming a jury that doesn't exist yet of being biased.   not to sound cynical but it's almost like republic party accusations of bias aren't' super well founded

[romad1]

The bots and trolls are **** posting the hell out of this on Trump's behalf today. 

[pfife]

sounds like they made him wait this morning for 30 mins.   Beautiful. 

[romad1]

First inning going ok for the home team. 

[romad1]

Looks like E.Jean Carroll deposition is not being admitted though.  

[pfife]

It sounds like it was a specific section of the E Jean deposition, where he talked about..... you guessed it, famous people grabbing p

 

what a despicable person

[romad1]

Oh, they are going over the gag order and threats to witnesses.  They appear to be surprised by this on my broadcast.

Looks like they are on a break 

[romad1]

here are details about the gag order

Judge is back on the bench

Judge Juan Merchan is back on the bench.

He told the court that questions about admitting tweets about Michael Cohen from 2018 is "academic," because the door will be opened once Donald Trump's lawyers try to attack Cohen's credibility.

[romad1]

almost Leroy Nieman worthy
