  1. Reportedly, Trump is to host a fundraiser for Giuliani. Unless I missed it, he is not hosting one for the poor, dumb blighter who has been stuck in the Fulton Co. Jail; unable to post bail, unable to afford a lawyer, yet told by the judge he can't have a public defender. Obviously, he's not too bright - Black Voices for Trump? - but he's now learning firsthand how loyal Donald Trump is to ordinary people who are loyal to him.

    3. I don't know who is enjoying it more, but I sure am enjoying it plenty! My enjoyment is increased by my personal experience with depositions and testimony. There is plenty of explanation on the Inner Tubes by lawyers, too.

    1. P.S.: It is always a good sign when jurors repeatedly nodd as one testifies. I was generally good at explaining things in a way that the jury could understand. I also had a tendency to inject a bit of humor when the opportunity presented itself-- which it could far more often than one might think. If a witness can elicit a laugh from the jurors, s/he has them in the palm of his/her hand. Once as I left court, one of the other witnesses waiting in the hallway asked me "WHAT DID YOU SAY TO THEM?" He heard the jury laughing all the way out in the hallway, past double sets of doors!
