Interesting Week Ahead [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2023-11-01 My “interesting week ahead” title refers to the fact that the 3 Trump adult children and Donald Trump will be compelled to testify in the civil case in NY brought by AG Tish James. Don Jr., Eric and Trump himself can plead the 5th if they want, but in a civil trial, the prosecutor can say that proves an adverse inference against them (unlike in a criminal trial). Since the Trump businesses have already been deemed guilty and this trial is just about disgorgement, they probably will want to answer questions truthfully to try to save as much of the assets as they can. I personally believe they will not be successful in saving much, but who knows. As far as Ivanka goes, she was released from the case because she did not do anything with Trump Org since before 2016, so the statute of limitations has run on anything she did in the past… she’s definitely no innocent. I like the fact that they moved her testimony until after Trump testifies so he can’t try to fashion his answers to match hers. Like I said, it’s going to be a treat! x This new change to Ivanka Trump’s trial testimony isn’t good news for Donald Trump https://t.co/KlM0dXFz2z via @PalmerReport #snarkotic — geeky brew (@GeekyBrew) October 30, 2023 Adam Klasfeld has been live tweeting this trial so if you want to follow along when the Trump’s testify, here’s his Twitter feed: x Good morning from New York. The fifth week of Trump's civil fraud trial kicks off with a prior witness resuming his testimony: Raymond Flores, an ex-Trump Org VP who recently described his communications with Eric Trump. Background, @TheMessenger 🔗 https://t.co/mqddX8M81g — Adam Klasfeld (@KlasfeldReports) October 30, 2023 Now on to the criminal trial in Judge Chutkan’s courtroom. Late Sunday night, she re-instated the limited gag order on Trump. Here’s a good thread about that: x Trump has a fairly track record of cowering in the face of gag orders. His attack on a witness tonight is unusual. As Jack Smith explores this for witness tampering charges, it’ll be interesting to find out who’s really making Trump’s social media posts:https://t.co/jneVQ5EX8n — Palmer Report (@PalmerReport) October 30, 2023 He may think he’s being coy within his Truth Social bubble, but he has never had to deal with the criminal justice system like he is now. He was previously able to wiggle or bribe his way out of trouble. Not anymore. So when he steps out of his bubble into the mainstream, it’s becoming more obvious that he is not handling things very well. Don’t let the false bravado from him or the MAGA crew fool you. In other news: Tuberville needs to be stopped: x Marine Commandant Eric Smith suffered a heart attack after working two jobs and getting 5 hours sleep a night, since Tuberville has been blocking the appointment of his deputy over abortion. Gen Smith said his workload was “not a sustainable thing.” Story. https://t.co/PeHXCAsyN3 — Ron Filipkowski (@RonFilipkowski) October 31, 2023 UAW Strike Agreements: x With today's landmark agreement with GM, the UAW has now reached tentative agreements with all of the Big Three American automakers – a testament to the power of unions and collective bargaining. Here's my full statement: pic.twitter.com/DcAYqLZjBR — President Biden (@POTUS) October 30, 2023 Mike Johnson is a Christo-fascist that will regret wanting the top job: What are they hiding? x After @HuffPost revealed her website, https://t.co/7WyoVbsKCs, Kelly Johnson, wife of Speaker Mike Johnson, had it taken down. Luckily, I own https://t.co/AoKCC4nzrL so thanks to screenshots etc it'll be back up and live tomorrow with more from her husband! God Bless 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈 pic.twitter.com/Prbz0aytU8 — Toby Morton (@tobymorton) October 31, 2023 x Mike Johnson is not a follower of Jesus. He’s a phobic bigot using religion to justify things antithetical to Jesus’ teaching. — John Pavlovitz (@johnpavlovitz) October 31, 2023 It burns me up that he’s pushing his form of Christianity (which is NOT Christianity as far as I’m concerned) as the basis for laws in this country. He needs to familiarize himself with the Constitution he swore to uphold. He’s also one of the key architects of Trump’s plan to steal the 2020 election. I sure hope he’s on Jack Smith’s or the DOJ’s radar. x My latest: "No federal officeholder, other than Trump himself, bears more responsibility than Mike Johnson for the destruction and degradation of democracy we saw that day."
