Trump loses in court yet again:
news.yahoo.com
"'After a full deliberation over the parties' positions and the record, the court rules as follows: President Trump's motion to dismiss is denied,' the ruling stated. 'The president, the Proud Boys, the Oath Keepers, and others 'pursu[ed] the same goal': to disrupt Congress from completing the Electoral College certification on January 6th. That President Trump held this goal is, at least, plausible based on his words and actions.'
"The ruling specified which of Trump's actions contributed to this decision: 'He repeatedly tweeted false claims of election fraud and corruption, contacted state and local officials to overturn election results, and urged the vice president to send Electoral ballots back for recertification'"
Federal judge rejects Trump effort to toss Jan. 6 lawsuits

Last week was one of negative developments for Trump; a week that follows the trajectory of previous weeks, a week in which the pace of negative developments is accelerating, and a week where Trump seems powerless to stop the growing snowball.
In the past, some writers have suggested Trump is not concerned about such events as most people would be if they were in such situations. Instead, Trump is energized by them. That may be the case, and it may hold true today, but how Trump feels about these things is irrelevant.
Trump's feelings do not change the fact that he is losing one court decision after another, and each loss weakens his legal position and his company. While he may be energized, that does not mean he is acting in his own best interests. In some cases, his feelings have prompted him to say things in public that further undermine his legal position.
The AP summarizes Trump's week as follows:
"NEW YORK (AP) — Former President Donald Trump faced one legal setback after another this week as a judge ruled he must sit for a deposition in New York to answer questions about his business practices, his accounting firm declared his financial statements unreliable, another judge rejected his efforts to dismiss conspiracy lawsuits and the National Archives confirmed that he took classified information to Florida as he left White House.
"Whatever happens, said Jeffrey Jacobovitz, a Washington lawyer who has been following the investigations, 'I think the weeks will get worse for him.'” (Source)
The observation that "the weeks will get worse for him" seems reasonable to me. The previous defeats are not story-ending developments. They add momentum to the trajectory and fuel additional developments that add to the snowball. The U.S. Supreme Court has eviscerated Trump's claims of executive privilege. Tump's former accounting firm has made unreliable ALL of Trump's financial statements issued in the last 10 years.
Short story: Trump's position is weak and getting weaker. On the flip side, the position of plaintiffs, investigators and prosecutors is strong and getting stronger.

So, Eric, how did that work out for you?
Last week:
"Eric Trump tweeted that attorneys 'will be in front of a New York Judge outlining the blatantly unethical behavior of Tish James the NY Attorney General' on Thursday after Mazars’ announcement was made public in a court filing on Monday.
"The executive vice president of the Trump Organization added: 'There are 81 pages of videos, tweets & fundraising solicitations (some as recent as two weeks ago) in our lawsuit for the judge to see'”. (Source)
While it is common for Trump supporters to attack Trump's critics and prosecutors, and while such attacks were presented in court last week, they counted for nothing. The NY Attorney General, the target of Eric's ire, prevailed.

U.S. judge denies Trump's request to toss Jan 6 incitement lawsuits
Former U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday lost a bid to dismiss lawsuits accusing him of inciting the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.
The judge's opinion in this case is important and will be noted by other judges in other cases:
"The lawsuits alleged a conspiracy between Trump and rioters to halt Congress's certification of President Joe Biden's election victory.
"Without ruling on the merits of that theory, [Judge] Mehta said the allegation was sufficiently detailed to proceed toward discovery, a process in which litigants exchange evidence and take testimony.
"'From these alleged facts, it is at least plausible to infer that, when he called on rally-goers to march to the Capitol, the President did so with the goal of disrupting lawmakers’ efforts to certify the Electoral College votes,' Mehta wrote." (Source)

Worthless screenshots make it extremely difficult (without jumping through painful hoops) to obtain additional context/info.
That's probably by design ...
More likely you would get all kind of unsafe website warnings if you clink on the actual link….

Well, thanks for clearing that up !
You have noticed that sometimes those Twitter feeds actually contain links to articles ... right ?
It may be that AG, yes. It is also the AG who is repeatedly and consistently defeating Trump in court. It is the AG who is well on her way to winning the civil action she is bringing against Trump and may bring and win criminal actions against him too.
It’s not may be, She IS the one that said it Was that a correct statement? Why would she lie about something like that?
So what? Trump has told the court that before. He has had and he took the opportunity to make the bias arguement in court. The argument has been heard and considered. It made no difference to the judge because it's not a fact relevant to the matter at hand. The case proceeds.
Leftist activist Ny judges.
