(LIVE BLOG) TRUMP LAWFARE TRIAL DAY 5: KILLING TWO BIRDS WITH ONE STONE

President Donald Trump's 'hush money' trial in New York began on Monday April 15, 2024. Trump signed a perfectly legal non-disclosure agreement with porn actress, Stormy Daniels with whom he denied to have had any relations. Daniels said herself there was no affair and there is no case. Also the statute of limitations has lapsed. But in spite of it all the Biden Dept. of Injustice constructed a case that somehow a book keeping dispute was a cover up.

There are also developments in a number of other cases against Trump, some of which are quite noteworthy, specifically the Mar-a-Lago documents case. On Thursday is the Supreme Court hearing on presidential immunity.

Well this should be interesting.

It appears that two aides to VP Pence tried to invoke exec privilege before the DC grand jury.

Wonder who they are (Marc Short and Greg Jacob?) https://t.co/RXzqIpg0dT

Alvin Bragg created a fake criminal case and then a corrupt judge tried to muzzle Donald Trump so he couldn’t fight back in the media.

The definition of election interference.

To clear up any confusion as to what Special Counsel Jack Smith sought to conceal in classified documents case, this is what Smith told Judge Cannon in Feb 2024 in response to Trump's motion to compel discovery from numerous govt agencies:

This is so much bigger than Donald Trump. This is about the presidency.

If you can indict a President of the United States for his official acts, we are going to destroy the presidency and therefore destroy our country.

The aim of the case in New York is two-fold. First is to delegitimize Trump's first term -- if he is convicted they can claim he 'stole' the 2016 election, while also sabotaging his 2024 campaign.

Jesse Watters explains the role of Matthew Colangalo, the third in line at the Biden Justice Dept. The finger prints of Joe Biden are all over this trial, and they don't even try to hide it anymore. 

Today was the first time in history that opening remarks were delivered in a criminal case against a former president. The remarks were delivered by Biden’s former acting associate AG, who parachuted in from DC to Frankenstein a personal matter into 34 felonies. For the next six… pic.twitter.com/LDXUL1kzjt

Just another reminder of how despicable Judge Merchan is.

COLANGELO GIVES OPENING STATEMENT

Matthew Colangelo gave the opening statement in this unprecedented criminal trial of a former president, who happens to be the leading presidential rival of his former boss. Biden Democrats aren’t even pretending to hide this is Biden’s blatant lawfare and election interference. 

Who is Matthew Colangelo?

When Bragg appointed Colangelo in December, CNN simply reported he was "a senior official in the US Justice Department and before that served as an attorney on the Trump Foundation investigation with the New York attorney general’s office."

But CNN…

Opening arguments are expected to begin on Monday April 22 in the hush money trial of former President Donald Trump for allegedly falsifying business records.

Prosecutors and defense attorneys this week picked 12 jurors and six alternates to decide the high-profile criminal case in New York, the first time a former president has gone on trial,

Judge Juan Merchan said opening arguments will be delivered by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's team and Trump defense attorneys. Merchan's gag order remains in place. 

Merchan imposed the order last month before the trial began. The order prohibits Trump from making or directing others to make public statements about witnesses concerning their potential participation or about counsel in the case or about court staff, District Attorney staff or family members of staff (source).

Translation:

Biden Democrats are now plotting to get Trump killed.
