Related: Trump also faces a judgement of $83.3 million for defaming Carroll. That clock started some time ago and will time out soon. We'll see action on that before news on this larger judgement.
As I said, we'll see action on the Carroll case. It seems Donald is getting desperate. In this case, the 30-day clock expires on March 10, 2024.

"In a court filing, the lawyers asked Judge Lewis A. Kaplan to suspend enforcement of the fines until a month after Trump’s post-trial motions — which are due by March 7 — are considered.

"Otherwise, according to the court documents, they asked for a partial stay, which would only require Trump to post bond for a fraction of the fees."

Willis Response to Cell Phone Affidavit

We'll learn more as news of this breaks and is digested. My initial read of it is Willis is exposing the Trump "expert" affidavit as a bad-faith filing that does not follow court rules and should not be admitted as evidence.

See the response here.

Willis and Wade perpetrated fraud on the court by lying: Perjury.
Bad example to set for two that are conducting the prosecution of the case. They chose to lie instead of just telling the truth.

People lie in court because they believe they can get away with it and it’s better than to just tell the truth and deal with the legal repercussions of that.

'Forcefully pushing back': Fani Willis questions if Trump legally obtained cell phone data

"The phone records simply do not prove anything relevant," said the filing. "The records do nothing more than demonstrate that Special Prosecutor Wade's telephone was located somewhere within a densely populated multiple-mile radius where various residences, restaurants, bars, and other businesses were located. The records do not prove, in any way, the content of the communications between Special Prosecutor Wade and District Attorney Willis; they do not prove that Special Prosecutor Wade was ever at any particular location or address."

Moreover, the attorneys continued, at the time of the data in question, "evidence clearly demonstrates that District Attorney Willis was elsewhere, including at work at the Fulton County District Attorney's Office and visiting the three crime scenes where a mass murder motivated by race and gender bias had taken place."

:clapping-happy:

“Moreover, the State questions whether Defendant Trump legally obtained cell site location information, which is generally only obtainable after a finding of probable cause and issuance of a search warrant,” the filing states.

Anyone wanna lay odds ?

:joycat:

I said above the Mittelstadt affidavit seemed valid on its face. I'm now retracting that opinion. There is more to the story.

From CNN:

“'The records do nothing more than demonstrate that Special Prosecutor Wade’s telephone was located somewhere within a densely populated multiple-mile radius where various residences, restaurants, bars, nightclubs, and other businesses are located,” the prosecutors wrote in the Friday night filing. “The records do not prove, in any way, the content of the communications between Special Prosecutor Wade and District Attorney Willis; they do not prove that Special Prosecutor Wade was ever at any particular location or address; they do not prove that Special Prosecutor Wade and District Attorney Willis were ever in the same place during any of the times listed.”

"The DA’s office also argued that there is evidence showing Willis and Wade were not in the same place on the dates listed, including 'at work at the Fulton County District Attorney’s Office AND VISTING THE THREE CRIME SCENES WHERE A MASS MURDER MOTIVATED BY RACE AND GENDER BIAS HAD TAKEN PLACE.'

"At the end of its response, the DA’s office questioned whether Trump legally obtained the cell phone data cited in its initial motion, noting that a search warrant is typically required to obtain such information."

More Election Interference Trouble for Trump et al

"The bipartisan Wisconsin Ethics Commission is recommending felony charges against a slate of Republicans, including former President Donald Trump's fundraising committee and a state lawmaker, for their roles in an alleged scheme to evade campaign finance limits in donations to the 2022 primary opponent of Assembly Speaker Robin Vos."

It begs the question: If Willis and Wade are going to blatantly lie and commit perjury about when their intimate relationship started, what else have they been untruthful about in the prosecution? The threshold for disqualification has certainly been crossed.

That's not an unreasonable question to ask if it is proven lies were told and perjury was committed. But those two items are not yet clear. While Trump has done his usual and masterful job of smearing the attorneys and prosecutors who go after him, it remains to be seen how clear the facts actually are that Trump supporters are eagerly willing to accept.

This will be cleared up in court, but it is not cleared up yet.

That said, I say again it was monumentally stupid for Wade and Willis to get into a romantic relationship when they are engaged in a high-visibility and high-consequence case like this. They left the door wide open for getting not only smeared but also properly criticized for their professional misconduct. Their stupidity produced the RICO-case side show now underway.

The most advanced technology is what Law Enforcement uses to solve crimes and what was applied in the Willis and Wade case as well.
Willis is saying this "most advanced technology" was misapplied. The fact that the technology was advanced does not mean it was properly used. Advanced technology is misused all the time.

C’mon. They’re flailing at this point. Caught in a lie, they’re doubling down instead of just coming clean. Because they know if they just come clean there is still legal repercussions.
