The trials of Trump

IT WAS A UNITED FRONT... Trump's Legal Team Reveals Shocking 'Conflict of Interest' in E. Jean Carroll Case: Judge Lewis Kaplan and E. Jean Carroll's Lawyer Roberta Kaplan Worked Together at Same Law Firm — Judge Allegedly Served as Mentor | The Gateway Pundit

“This is news to us,” said Habba. “We are going to include this in our appeal and take appropriate measures. The fact it wasn’t disclosed is an ethics violation.”

Manhattan federal Judge Lewis Kaplan and Carroll’s lawyer, Roberta Kaplan.

"The legal team of former President Donald Trump is set to challenge the ridiculous $83.3 million jury verdict in the defamation case brought by nutcase E. Jean Carroll.

"The basis of their appeal, as revealed to The New York Post, hinges on an alleged “conflict of interest” involving Manhattan federal Judge Lewis Kaplan and Carroll’s lawyer, Roberta Kaplan.

"Trump’s attorney, Alina Habba, expressed shock upon learning that both Judge Kaplan and Roberta Kaplan, who are not related, previously worked together at the same prestigious law firm in the early 1990s.

"This connection was uncovered by The Post columnist Charles Gasparino, following a tip that Judge Kaplan was once a mentor to Roberta Kaplan." . . .

Haley defends verdict against Trump in Carroll case: ‘I absolutely trust the jury’ | The Hill  . . ."Haley’s defense of the jury’s verdict led to backlash from the Trump campaign. Trump adviser Jason Miller posted an article from Semafor on X, formerly Twitter, with the headline, “Nikki Haley crosses the Rubicon.” The article described Haley’s comments on the jury verdict on “Meet the Press.”

“ 'Congrats to @Semafor for correctly noting Nikki Haley just torpedoed her political future. There is no point of return. Haley is politically finished for ‘24, ‘28, forever,” Miller wrote." . . .

 Why is no one wondering why the Trump trials have such idiotic jurors? - American Thinker    . . ."How can this be legal, one might ask.  It probably should not be, but one thing is clear:  Juries are rarely a “jury of one’s peers” anymore.  They are carefully and deceptively chosen.  We can be certain that jury consultants were hired to select the people who would sit in judgment of President Trump for each of the numerous trials to which he has been so unfairly subjected."

Here is a sampling of the voters I picture hating Trump, calling Jews "Nazis" and loving Hamas  . TD

Rumored Biden replacement Gavin Newsom tells Joe how he would beat Trump   . . ."Newsom is considered a possible Democratic contender for the presidency in 2028, or as a possible last-minute replacement for Biden in 2024, should the president bow out of the race. Newsom has repeatedly denied any interest in the Democratic nomination this year but has not ruled out a run in 2028. 

"The comments come as the 2024 election cycle gets underway. Biden is currently expected to win the Democratic nomination this summer, while former President Donald Trump leads in the Republican primary against former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley.

"If Trump and Biden win their respective nominations, the election would be a repeat of the 2020 election, in which Biden emerged as the victor. But after four years in office, and with multiple world crises, a tough economy, and an immigration crisis at the southern border, Biden is currently trailing Trump in a theoretical rematch, according to RealClearPolling."

It remains to see if Gav the Gov will be as dedicated to dividing America with racial hostility as Biden, any Obama, and Joy Reid. TD
