As I was waking up this morning, I was day-dreaming about the victim impact statements in Trump's Jan. 6th trial. I was also reflecting that an insanity defense should not work, because of the clear evidence that he knew he was doing something criminal. Also that the federal prison system probably does not offer makeup artists for their "guests." Guess I'm a terrible guy. -----Alan
Glenn Kirschner disposed of the insanity defense some weeks ago. As I understand it, the defendant must show an inability to distinguish right from wrong, and that inability obtained at the time of the crime. Such clearly does not apply to bon Schitzenpantz.
The victim impact statements! Man oh man! I hadn't thought of those. That'll be a dusie!

And the interview would presumably have offered desireable publicity for the book. Doesn't make sense, given what I know about the publishing industry.
It is a general principle in both print and electronic media that they do not pay for news. Of course, that assumes that an interview with Melania had any news value. -- nordy
Well then, if he won, he is currently the incumbent. And, if he is currently the incumbent, he is prohibited from running for a third term. Ergo, he is not currently running.
Imagine, I managed to work all that out without having gone to Yale Law School.
Good 'un.

Excellent news, indeed!
DeleteCNN requested an interview with Melania Trump. Her book publisher asked for $250,000 in exchange [Click] That’s a lot for a book that will be on the remainders table well before Christmas.

DeleteAre we sure it was the publisher's request and not Melania's? As W.A. points out, it doesn't make sense coming from the publisher.
