Another day, and more Trump lunacy. The jury will be receiving instructions soon and the case is moving along towards its conclusion, which will be a conviction, acquittal, or hung jury. Meanwhile, Donald Trump has had ample opportunity to testify in his behalf but he has not. So he went outside the courthouse, per usual, and quoted Jonathan Turley and the other legal scholars (yesterday it was Oliver Stone. I thought he was a director of conspiracy theory movies) but today it’s back to Turley and I’m sure Mark Levin, Alan Dershowitz, and Tom Fitton will be quoted as well. Fitton isn’t a lawyer, just by the by, so you can find commensurate legal insight in any box of Cracker Jack — and very likely Trump will start quoting that next, or maybe fortune cookies.
The crazy thing is that he also knows it's not true. Everyone knows it's not true. And the press give him a pass every time.

Bloviate: “To talk at length, especially in an inflated or empty way.” We should put a picture of Donald Trump next to the word for convenient reference. Trump also got cut off by Fox News, which is likely to pique him greatly.
I’m sure this will infuriate Donald.
Brilliant idea! That would be the perfect move and would shut this liar up on this issue altogether.

Intriguing idea. Careful what you wish for, Donald, you just might get it. You really want to testify? I’m willing to bet that Todd Blanche is getting an ulcer listening to this.
I hope Merchan calls his bluff. I would love to hear something that would be “very impressive.” I can’t wait. Trump’s “impressive” statement is along the order of the “tremendous” “beautiful” health care plan that was always coming in two weeks. Remember that? Probably both of these things are dreamt up in Trump’s head, where I have no doubt they seem most impressive. Unfortunately, there are real world standards and darn, that’s where Trump always gets tripped up. What can you do? The Deep State is everywhere.
With him, testifying = lying, because just talking = lying.
Gagged huh?
Most of us did the same when this F’er
became your President.
And now this poison is spreading throughout the continent.
Spreading throughout the world actually. It’s everywhere, unfortunately.
The best gag order would involve a greasy rag duct taped in your mouth, while riding a pleasure craft to a couple miles offshore, where you’d be deposited, wrapped inside a bundle of chickenwire. Why can’t we have nice things anymore? Otherwise, it’s yada yada yada.
How about this for a twist?
Trump is found guilty and gets forever probation.
Trump gets 30 days in jail for each of his violation of his gag orders.
Ok by me!
Well, he is actually under a gag order when it comes to taking the stand.
After all, he would have to swear to tell the truth and he wouldn’t be allowed to tell lies. To Trump, not being able to lie his way out of anything DOES imply a gag order
