At the NYPo, Trump’s ‘hush money’ NYC trial live updates: Trump slams ‘CORRUPT’ judge, accuses him of making ‘BIG MONEY OFF OF THIS SCAM’ in early morning rant Cohen spotted heading to court. Vicky Taft at PJM, Serial Perjurer Michael Cohen Testifies for the Prosecution in Trump NYC Trial. Jonathan Turley at home, The Appearance of Michael Cohen: A Wreck in Search of a Race. "Michael Cohen is to criminal justice what car crashes are to Nascar: few want to admit it, but he is the perverse draw for the wreck-obsessed. The difference is that Cohen was already a rolling smoking wreck when he pulled up to the track." And from NYPo he says ‘Mr. Fix-It’ Michael Cohen bombs on the stand, offers no new evidence to convict Trump, "The problem is that Cohen only confirmed that Trump knew he was going to pay for the nondisclosure agreement and that it would be buried before the election. None of that is unlawful. He thinks Judge Merchan should intervene and direct a verdict of not guilty. "Absent a sudden epiphany in his final testimony on Tuesday, Merchan should rule in favor of a directed verdict — that is, throwing the case out before it goes to a jury. If he instead sends this farcical case to the jury, it is Merchan, not Cohen, who may have a better claim to a reality show as the ultimate “Fix-It Man.”" I think it's pretty naïve to of Turley to think this case is about the facts and the law. At OTP, Trump ‘Never’ Sends Emails, Afraid ‘Prosecutors Can Use’ Them Against Him, and one can see why. Also, Trump's Defense Scrambles As Bombshell Tape Played In Court. ET, Republican VP Hopeful JD Vance Shows Up at Court for Trump. From NewsMax, Sen. Vance: Michael Cohen Can't Be Believed. Jonathan Turley notices Bragg’s Case Against Trump Goes Paranormal: “I See Dead People.” "It turns out that speaking to the dead was one of the few relevant things Daniels had to offer in the case, which is now on a collision course with a motion for acquittal before the case even goes to the jury."

"Real estate attorney Adam Leitman Bailey admitted to NBC last week that he gave unsolicited advice to Engoron, three weeks before he made his decision on the case, which is strictly forbidden by law."
Ace wakes up and notices Judge Cannon Will Hold Hearing to Determine if Jack Smith Was Unconstitutionally Appointed (He Was), and If His Indictments Should Be Quashed "He was never confirmed by the Senate. Only an officer confirmed by the Senate has the power to bring prosecutions against senators. But Merrick Garland didn't want Jack Smith to have to answer questions about his past and his politics so he merely hired him as an employee, not an "officer" of the US." ET, Federal Judge Orders Trump, Jack Smith to File New Redactions in Documents Case. "The orders were issued in relation to a February motion submitted by President Trump’s team that had alleged prosecutors unlawfully obtained evidence in the case along with other alleged prosecutorial misconduct. “The names of potential witnesses or clearly identifying information, ancillary names,” and other information relating to ”grand jury materials” should be redacted, the May 9 order said."

Media Monday: Does Joe Biden Really Have a ‘Brand as an Empathetic Leader’? "There are days when I read things in the mainstream media that just boggle my mind.
Today was one of those days: "Former White House press secretary Jen Psaki claims in her new book that President Biden never looked at his watch during the ceremony for soldiers killed during the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021 — contradicting news photos and firsthand accounts of Gold Star families."

Jen Psaki Lied in Her Book? Shocking I Tell You! Dave Strom adds, "I think the media is getting ready for a new Trump presidency, and while they hate him with a white-hot burning passion brighter than the sun, they are likely also resentful that they have had to cover for the corrupt and inept Biden administration. Perhaps they are taking shots while they can." and John Sexton observes

It’s almost become a cult, and in order to be accepted into the cult, you have to announce your hatred for Israel, you have to announce support for people who actually hate you. So there’s something that’s hard to address, because you have people who’ve had some sort of mental breakdown.”" At Reason,
