As I read more about this, I find you are correct ... in criminal trials, the right to a speedy trial belongs to the defendant. But that does not give the defendant the right to delay a criminal trial, or thwart the interests of justice, with bad-faith tactics and intent. The right to a speedy...

Including the right to a speedy trial. The NY courts are wise to Trump's games. His rightful requests will be respected. His illegitimate delay tactics will be thwarted. He's not going up against Carroll in open court any more. He's making an appeal where his options are limited and the judges...

NOW the Bond is Posted and Approved The now-approved bond will be filed with the clerk within five days of the judge's order. That will give us a look into the terms. Enforcement of the judgement is stayed until the appeal is resolved, or until further order of Judge Kaplan...

Yes, but it is not done in good faith in the interests of justice; and it is not what innocent people do. Tell that to the many MAGA devotees who listen to Bannon and trust him.

House GOP Razor-Thin Majority Shrinks More After Ken Buck resigns next week, the House Republican margin will be 218-213. MAGA Mike will have just two votes to spare before needing help from the Democrats to govern...

Many of them will acknowledge that, but they don't care. That makes them corrupt too.

The actual phrase is "that didn't work out as hoped." I would have enjoyed seeing the so-called Trump empire degrade or fully collapse under the weakness of the financial house of cards I believe it is. And we may still see it in the upcoming and much larger bond challenge Trump faces. And yes...

Do you see me cursing? Read my posts. I'm agreeing with Carroll that this is a good thing for her. It takes Trump out of the game when he loses his appeal. Carroll will receive the judgement award not from Trump but from the bonding company that guaranteed she will quickly get the full amount...

Bannon is Right: "Trump is Bought" "Steve Bannon, the one-time adviser to Donald Trump, suggested on Saturday that the former president was paid off after a shift in stance on TikTok." Bannon is talking about TikTok. Trump did the same flip-flop with Bud Light. When Budwiser held a fundraiser...

What's Wrong With the Republican Party? That's the title of this thread. What's wrong with Republican Party now is it is not a party any more. The party's leadership organization, the Republican National Committee, has become a de facto subsidiary of the Trump campaign...

The Latest on the Carroll Defamation Case Bond The actual terms of the bond are hard to come by at this early stage. We'll have to wait until documents are filed and then reported by the media to see the bond itself. That said, it now appears the terms of the bond have been agreed to by Trump...

Carroll's attorney responds: "Carroll’s attorney quickly responded that they are closely monitoring Trump’s latest remarks about her — and suggested that a third defamation lawsuit could be in store for the former president."...

Carroll's Attorneys ask Judge to OK Trump's $91.6M Bond "Lawyers for former Elle magazine columnist E. Jean Carroll have requested that the judge in her defamation case against Donald Trump approve the $91,630,000 bond secured by the former president, subject to a small change in one of the...

If the bond was posted, we'd see that in the court record, along with the terms of the bond. The bond is not yet posted. In any transaction Trump is involved with, especially one this large, the risk of him haggling and engaging in shady tactics is high. That's how he rolls. Even if the...

The link is bad. The page is there. https://thefederalist.com/2024/03/07/new-book-admits-fani-willis-get-trump-investigation-began-with-illegal-recording/

Yikes! Did Trump Defame Carroll Again? These are not the actions of a rational man. They seem more like the actions of a man who hates his money and want's Carroll to have it. https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-insults-e-jean-carroll-allegations-1877618

Trump can move ahead with his appeal with or without a bond. The bond forestalls enforcement of the judgement until Trump's appeals are exhausted. The bond, backed by the Chubb insurance company is not in doubt, as you say. It exists. It is a real instrument. What is in doubt is whether or not...

Wording Correction Notwithstanding the widespread inaccurate reporting, Trump has not "posted" bond. He has "proposed" a bond deal and it seems the parties will be talking that over in court on Monday. Unless there is a specific reason to keep things under wraps, like in cases where certain...

Things are Different for DeSantis Now “A big difference between this legislative session and the last two is that we didn’t have Gov. DeSantis’ thumbs on the scale as much,” said Rep. Fentrice Driskell, the House Democratic leader. “I think he was trying to recover from his failed presidential...

There has been a development. The bond trump posted is not yet approved. The judge wants to hear from Carroll first. See his ruling here. Like many interested citizens, I suppose, I'm learning about this as we go. I never heard of an appeal bond before Trump's troubles became news. Now we're...
