So, he's on notice that jail time will come.

I don't see this in Haberman's feed. Beware.

Copium

Judge getting his warning. If you don't show up we will arrest you. If you disrupt the trial we will proceed without you and you will be in the hoosegow.

for comparison

almost Leroy Nieman worthy

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.

here are details about the gag order

Looks like they are on a break

Live updates: Trump New York hush money criminal trial (cnn.com)

Nay, this is MSNBC talking about what the reporters are sending out.

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

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

First inning going ok for the home team.

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

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.

Until and of course this gets destroyed by Trump killing off another one of his ex-wives...we need to assume this trial will start today.

Where: District Court of New York, room 1530 of the Manhattan Criminal Court When: 9:30am Starters: New York State: Judge Juan Merchan Prosecutor: Alvin Bragg Defendant: Donald J. Trump: Jurors: an unknown group of 500 New York citizens

The planners in the PRC PLA will be burning the midnight oil thinking about how this went down. We might have revealed some things in the blanketed, multi-layered defense that they will be trying to overcome. Hopefully we retain capabilities and they (more importantly Xi) are second guessing theirs.

Trump's rambling discourse on General Lee was something. He seemed to love him some Robert Lee -- went on a ramble about how he was now being memory holed -- and blamed the attack on Little Round Top (as near a run thing as there ever was) on someone besides Lee and didn't give credit to the saviors of democracy (which include the 16th Michigan regiment). He somehow wanted to make the PA audience he was talking to eager fans of the confederacy. Maybe if they are Trumpies, they are now? I guess that would be like rolling into the Rouge complex in Dearborn and telling a crowd of union workers that Harry Bennett was great and that they should never have taken down his statues?

Needed that for sure.

It would be nice if this team had a future with this level of offensive struggle.

And he spent a couple years running a counterintelligence sieve at his country club.

i wish Baez wasn’t lost at the plate

Baez...my god
