Special Prosecutor Jack Smith is appealing Aileen Cannon’s dismissal of the documents case in Florida, plus there are 2 groups that wrote amicus briefs asking for her to be removed as judge. Here’s a link to one of those amicus briefs
Special Prosecutor Jack Smith and the Election Interference Case (DC) Judge Chutkan issues schedule
The Supreme Court’s opinion assumed everything the President did was in the persona of the President. But the Blassingame decision that they pointedly did not address, at least, imagines that as candidate-for-President, nothing Trump did was an official act. When the President asks the Vice President to cast a tie-breaking vote to confirm a judge, he’s doing so as President. But when a candidate asks his running-mate to throw out 81 million votes, he’s doing so as a candidate, not a President.
And that’s something that Chutkan missed when she reminded Lauro, twice, that. “the original indictment in front of [SCOTUS …] set forth all the communications with the former vice president that are.” Not all the communications with Pence from the original indictment are in there. The superseding indictment took out several references Trump made, in conversations with Pence, to the Justice Department.
The NY Manhattan court case in which Trump has already been convicted, and waits sentencing. Sentencing till happen two days before Thanksgiving. Let me repeat: Trump still a convict and only an idiot would deliberately vote for a convicted felon.

A jury trial opening in Austin, Texas, on Monday will seek to hold Trump supporters accountable for allegedly ambushing a Joe Biden-Kamala Harris campaign bus on the state’s main highway in the run-up to the 2020 presidential election.
Plaintiffs in the lawsuit allege they were terrorised and intimidated for more than 90 minutes as they took a bus tour canvassing for the Democratic ticket in the final days of the election.
At least 40 vehicles flying Make America great again flags formed themselves into a so-called “Trump Train” and encircled the bus, trying to run it off the road and playing what the suit claims was a “madcap game of highway ‘chicken’”.
The plaintiffs, who include the bus driver, a Biden campaign staffer and Wendy Davis, the former Texas senator and Democratic gubernatorial candidate, say they were forced to cancel campaign events for fear that the intimidation would be repeated. They are pursuing punitive damages under both Texas law and the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871, a federal statute from the Reconstruction
Don’t forget Trump already lost 2 civil lawsuits, the one with E Jean Carroll (actually those are TWO defamation cases he has lost) and the New York fraud case. Poor Old Trump’s Truth Social has lost a tremendous part of its value so he won’t have as much to pay off the judgements. And then there’s the January 6 Capitol police lawsuit (civil) against him.
