Flotsam and Jetsam - Stormy Daniels Testilies, Documents Case on Indefinite Hold

A big day in the "Trump Troubles" department. Stormy Daniels (NSFW) took the witness stand in New York, and the result was every bit at outrageous as you might guess, filled with lurid details, even after the defense objected to their introduction in what is really a documents case. Sundance at CTH, President Trump Delivers Remarks from New York At the Beginning of NDA Trial Day. At Fox, Stormy Daniels takes the stand in Trump criminal trial "Daniels initially denied allegations of an affair with Trump in 2006, then changed her story." At NYPo, Trump’s ‘hush money’ NYC trial live updates from May 6-7. "Daniels described their alleged sexual encounter, at times in so much detail that Judge Juan Merchan scolded the prosecution, saying the nitty gritty was “unnecessary.”" Harold Hutchison at Da Caller, Jonathan Turley Says Trump Trial Judge ‘Lost Control’ Of Courtroom During Stormy Daniels Testimony

Jason Cohen at Da Caller, Judge Denies Trump Attorney’s Motion For Mistrial After Stormy Daniels Testimony. Susie Moore at RedState, Trump Manhattan Trial Tuesday Evening Wrap-Up - 'What the Hell Happened?' Edition. Vicky Taft at PJM, Prosecutors S**t the Bed With Stormy Daniels Testimony in Trump Trial; Judge Denies Mistrial. Althouse hits a triple, "Stormy Daniels is talking about going to the bathroom in Trump’s hotel suite... Daniels keeps chuckling as she describes the scene, as if she's giving an interview," "Writes Maggie Haberman at the NYT", "The dramatic decision to call Ms. Daniels to the stand would carry both possible benefits and definite risks for prosecutors...." and "Is it possible that the prosecution thinks this works as a way to humiliate Trump?" At Da Mail, Donald Trump trial live updates: Ex-president response to Stormy Daniels testimony declared too sexually explicit by the judge as he scores huge legal victory in another case. Insty, PRESUMPTION OF INNOCENCE, HOW DOES IT WORK? 

Jason Cohen at Da Caller again, ‘Huge Problem’: Trial Expert Tells CNN Lack Of Evidence Could Lead To Trump Acquittal Even With Dem Jury. Steve Richards at JTN, thinks Bragg’s witnesses may be undercutting the case against Trump as latest testimony sinks key claim "So far, the witnesses in the former president’s ‘hush money’ trial seem to be undermining the Manhattan DA’s case."  PJM's Matt Margolis thinks Bragg’s Case Against Trump Is Imploding Fast. Never-Trumper Andy McCarthy at NRO is outraged that Judge Merchan Allows Testimony That Unidentified Man Threatened Daniels. Capt. Ed at Hat Hair adds "As I tweeted at the time, this seemed to be both irrelevant and wildly prejudicial, for the reasons Andy posits here. The defense moved for a mistrial on the basis of Daniels' testimony, but Merchan denied it despite acknowledging that "there were things better left unsaid." No kidding. This will almost certainly be a reversible error on appeal, and perhaps a good opportunity for the appellate court to intervene now, assuming an immediate appeal of the mistrial ruling can take place. " 

At Da Caller, Judge Finds Trump Violated Gag Order For 10th Time. Vicky Taft at PJM, I Dare You and Trump Isn't the Only One Silenced at His Trial. At WaEx, Trump deletes post about witness after being threatened with jail time for further violations of gag order. At TNP, a REPORT: Soros-Linked Dems Pay Over $500K to Judge Merchan’s Daughter’s Firm. Rachael Alexander at TownHall,  The Corruption of Rep. Adam Schiff Is Reaching a Tipping Point "Now it’s come out that Schiff paid the daughter of the judge handling New York DA Alvin Bragg’s prosecution of Trump $4 million to push the Russia collusion hoax. Loren Merchan’s hatred of Trump is so extreme that she used a photo of Trump behind bars as her profile picture on X. She runs a digital marketing agency that works with Democrats and progressive groups." Nicholas Ballasy at JTN Johnson: Merchan not 'serious judge' after threatening Trump with jail time in election year, ""You cannot call yourself a serious judge and threaten a presidential candidate with jail time when he defends his reputation in public in the middle of a campaign," says House Speaker Mike Johnson" Dave Strom at Hat Hair says Trump Gag Order Is Biden's America in a Nutshell. "An invented crime. Prosecuted by a political operative of Joe Biden's choosing. In front of a judge whose family is profiting off of it. In front of a jury picked in a city that famously hates Trump. And, to top it off, a gag order meant to shut the president up. The judge has stolen the president's First Amendment right (as if rights mean anything to this crowd) on pain of incarceration." Fox, NY v. Trump: Mayor Adams says Rikers Island is 'prepared' if Trump is sentenced to jail. "'Prepared for whatever comes on Rikers Island,' Mayor Adams said."

At Fox, Federal judge postpones Trump's classified records trial with no new date "Trial was set to begin May 20." "In a filing Tuesday, Cannon said that due to the "myriad and interconnected pre-trial" issues "remaining and forthcoming," it would be "imprudent and inconsistent with the Court's duty to fully and fairly consider the various pending pre-trial motions."" Matt Margolis, Trump Classified Docs Trial Postponed Indefinitely. Sundance, Judge in Trump Classified Documents Case Suspends Trial Indefinitely, "Lawfare is big mad." Also, Jack Smith’s Lawfare Scheme Under Scrutiny and Fraying. Dave Strom at Hat Hair, lays a BOMBSHELL: FBI Staged Fake Photo of Classified Documents for PR Purposes

You know that famous photo of Trump's purloined Top Secret documents? The one that the FBI released that showed all those classified documents hidden in folders? It's kinda, sorta faked. Staged. Not accurate at all. A sham. A con. Complete BS. No, it's not a photoshop. That would be worse, I suppose. Maybe. You see, those folders that scream Top Secret were brought by the FBI and the documents were inserted in them by FBI agents.

Think about this for a minute. The General Services Administration shipped these documents to Trump, which is why they are stuffed away in Mar a Lago in the first place. Then, the Archives met with the Biden administration to prod it to investigate Trump.

Then the FBI raids Mar a Lago, armed with folders screaming "Top Secret," photographs them, and releases the photo to the world, suggesting that Trump stole away with these documents in these folders screaming Top Secret. Smells like a setup. Julie Kelley has the scoop. And it is a big one.

Patrick Webb@RealPatrickWebb, "BREAKING: Jim Jordan has opened an investigation into special counsel Jack Smith’s acknowledgment that some of the evidence in President Trump’s classified documents case was altered and or manipulated following its seizure by the FBI in its raid on Mar-a-Lago." Misty Severt at JTN reports House Judiciary opens investigation into FBI handling of Mar-a-Lago probe. "Smith’s team said the order of documents in some of the boxes of memos that were seized by the FBI from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate was altered or jumbled in a court filing Friday. But the admission had not been acknowledged prior to the filing."

The Wednesday Wetness

Bay Journal, Environmental groups send EPA lawsuit warning

The Environmental Integrity Project, on behalf of the Waterkeeper Alliance and Center for Biological Diversity, sent the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency a notice of intent to sue May 2. Among the Waterkeeper Alliance are 16 waterkeepers — advocates for various waterways — in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.

The organizations accuse the EPA of failing to provide Congress with regular comprehensive reports on the state of the nation’s waterways as required under the Clean Water Act.

“The Clean Water Act can’t live up to its promise if EPA won’t report on polluted waterways, as required, or update its standards to keep pace with technology,” Meg Parish, senior attorney at the Environmental Integrity Project, said in a press release.

In the notice, the groups assert that the Clean Water Act requires the EPA to provide a thorough analysis to Congress on the condition of the nation’s waterbodies at least once every two years. The groups contend that the EPA hasn’t done so since 2017.

I assume, this being EPA, and they being environmental groups, that this will be a case of sue and settle. 

Maryland, My Maryland

Rep. David Trone’s (D-MD) PG
County Executive Angela Alsobrooks

At the Free Bacon, David Trone's Financial Disclosures Don't Add Up. Experts Say That Could Land Him in Legal Trouble.

It’s unclear how much Rep. David Trone’s stake in Indiana Fine Wine & Spirits is worth, but it’s enough that the Maryland Democrat pledged it as collateral for a loan worth up to $25 million in August 2020.

But you wouldn’t know that from Trone’s financial disclosures. In both 2020 and 2022, Trone didn’t even mention the Indiana wine franchise—an extension of his Total Wine empire he launched with his brother in 2019—omissions that imply his stake in the business those years was worth $0.

For more than a decade, the Maryland Democrat has pledged at least 20 offshoots of his $2.4 billion Total Wine empire as collateral for the loan, which PNC Bank first disbursed in 2008. But a Washington Free Beacon review found that for years after launching his first campaign for Congress in 2016 and winning his first term in 2018, Trone didn’t disclose his ownership in at least eight of those offshoots in his financial disclosures to the public.

Experts say Trone’s apparent failure to disclose all his assets could land the Democrat in legal trouble.

"Our democracy depends on the trust of the people in our elected officials," said Tom Anderson, the president of Last Government Watchdog. "Congressman Trone appears to have violated that trust."

By "failing to take seriously the disclosure of all assets and liabilities," Trone is "opening the door to serious penalties of up to five years in prison and/or up to a $50,000 fine if he is found to be criminally avoiding disclosure," Anderson told the Free Beacon.

Trone, the favorite to challenge former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R.) for Maryland’s open Senate seat in November, has made no secret of his wealth. The congressman signaled he would be willing to spend $50 million of his own money on his Senate campaign before entering the race in May 2023 and has since spent a record-breaking $41 million leading up to the primary.

In a primary debate on Apr. 19, Trone boasted that he was "the largest donor to Democrats in the last three cycles," and that his donations help "drive our Democratic Party. Not only in the House but also in the Senate."

Trone has Total Wine to thank for providing him with the revenue necessary to finance his political career. He’s raked in at least $120 million in distributions from Total Wine since 2018, and in 2022 he reported owning interest in 21 of the chain’s affiliates with a combined stake of no more than $80 million.

Taking Trone’s disclosures at face value, it appears he has already poured a significant chunk of his net worth into his Senate campaign. But the figures in Trone’s financial disclosures pale in comparison to Total Wine’s $2.4 billion valuation as estimated by the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. The liquor behemoth is exclusively owned by the Trone family, with at least 71 state and local affiliates, each of which operate anywhere from one to several dozen storefronts. The company raked in $5.5 billion in revenue in 2022, doubling its haul from 2017.

I'm sure if he's done anything wrong, the Biden administration's DOJ will be right on it. /sarc 

I will say this; he's pouring a ton of money into TV ads currently.

Beach Report 5/7/24

I got a late start today, and even tried waiting out a thunderstorm that never arrived, so I got down to the beach around 4 PM. A pretty nice day, partly cloudy, a few showers, and nearly 70 F. 

The rain stayed away while I walked, though I did hear one ominous crack of thunder. 

Could it be any more obvious?

At Da Mail, Brooke Shields and model daughter Grier Henchy, 18, get matching tattoos with a sentimental meaning

Legendary supermodel Brooke Shields got a matching tattoo with her youngest daughter Grier Henchy, who turned 18 just last month.

The 58-year-old New York native, who started her career at just 11 months, and teen both opted to get a sentimental design inked to their wrists of two pairs of high heels facing each other, symbolizing 'Grier literally growing into Brooke's shoes.'

Grier, a self-professed fashion fiend with a penchant for swiping designer pieces from her mom's closet, is pursing a modeling career and has already been featured in a Mother's Day campaign for Victoria's Secret alongside Shields.
