Hard to believe they’re having trouble identifying impartial jurors in Trump’s NY criminal trial.
If he doesn't have to be present, then he can go to Barron's graduation! Surely he'll be there.Latest ploy is Trump 's attorneys saying that he doesn't have to be present. According to them, he isn't required to face his accusers in court. Seems like this gets appealed and causes delay.
If Trump announces that he isn't going to attend, doesn't show and Judge Merchan has him arrested and brought to court, does Trump appeal immediately? Can he legally? Does the trial proceed during such an appeal? Or would this be another avenue of delay?
Supreme Court oral arguments on Presidential Immunity happen soon, and Trump has said he wants to skip his trial in Manhattan to be at the SCOTUS building on that day.
It’s just amazing that when he’s there (and awake) he acts worse than my fucking 4-year old but nothing ever happens other than him getting warned to be on his very best behavior or else.
The best one I saw is,Apparently, as part of the jury selection process, the judge reads aloud the tweets or online messages the prospective jurors have previously posted about Trump. This I believe is reason enough to require him to be present.

Ok but can we all at least admit that this is the weakest of the criminal cases. Altering business records would normally be a misdemeanor, but Bragg charged them as a felony because he says they were done in furtherance of a crime, but no other crime was charged. If these 34 counts were charged as misdemeanors there would be no jail time and Trump wouldn't be a potential felon. It does seem a bit like overreaching.No, this whole thing is about covering up paying off a porn star.
why won't Georgia go? massive delays? further appeals against the DA?Ok but can we all at least admit that this is the weakest of the criminal cases.

Also, if Trump gets off, which would take only 1 juror to say not guilty, Trump then can crow about total exoneration, and since this is likely to be the only one of his criminal cases to go to trial before election, he probably will keep saying, see this was all just a witch hunt, and people will believe him because he got off.
There are a bunch of reasons the Feds chose to not take this to trial. Its infuriating though that this is likely to be the only criminal case to happen before the election.
Are you familiar with money?I don’t understand the legal system but you can be accused of multiple felonies and just not show up at your own trial?
