Trump Hands Prosecutors A Gift With Social Media Post As Closing Arguments Begin

A post made by former president Donald Trump on his Truth Social provides a window into how afraid he is that he’ll be found guilty by a jury of his peers later today after closing arguments are made, according to a former assistant district attorney. And the post may also wind up being a huge gift for prosecutors in Manhattan.

Catherine Christian was a guest on MSNBC, and she was asked by host Katie Tur, “I want to show something he posted on Truth Social. I wonder if this gives a hint about jury instructions and what they might be. I know we haven’t gotten an announcement from Judge Merchan, but I wonder if he has said something to the prosecution or defense, and I’m asking because Donald Trump said this, ‘The reason the highly conflicted Judge Merchan had to come up with three fake options for the jury to choose from without requiring them to be unanimous, which is completely un-American and unconstitutional, is the corrupt Soros’ … so he’s talking about three options for the jury to choose from without requiring them to be unanimous. Is he talking about federal election crime, state election crime, tax crime as the underlying felony charge, and do you have a sense that they know what the jury instructions are going to be?”

“I would hope that the defense and the prosecution know what the jury instructions are going to be since they’re giving their summations tomorrow,” Christian replied. “I understand why the press and why we would all want it, [but also] why the judge didn’t release it. He wants to make sure the first time the jury hears about this, and the jury is abiding by judge’s rules, and not watching this right now, is the first time they hear about this is tomorrow, so that post by Donald Trump is sort of a hint, if you can believe Donald Trump, that maybe the instruction to the jury will be that the unlawful means, conspire to promote an election by unlawful means, could be the federal election law violation, could be tax crimes, state tax crime violation, so I have a feeling that that’s probably what Donald Trump is talking about because his lawyers have a copy of the jury instructions the judge will give tomorrow.”

Christian added, “If the jury believes all of the evidence, it’s a gift to them.”

Closing arguments will begin this morning when the court convenes at 9:30 a.m. ET.

Social Media Users Retch After MT Greene Shares Bikini Pic For Her 50th Birthday.

Today is Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s (R-GA) 50th birthday, and for some reason she decided it’d be a good idea to celebrate by sharing a photo of herself wearing a bikini on social media.

In a post she made on Twitter, Greene wrote:

Today I turned 50!

Many people go into their 50th birthday thinking it’s a bad thing, but I truly feel it’s wonderful and I’m so excited and grateful God let me live 50 years and do so many things.

From being the first person to graduate college in my family, to carrying 3 babies in my womb and the absolute miracle of 3 childbirths, to raising my children and teaching them about God’s creation and man’s dangers, to running successful businesses and carrying the weight of the responsibility, being a member of congress, running, cycling, swimming, competing, training, reading, always learning, creating, building, skiing, surfing, hiking, making mistakes, learning lessons, and most importantly God’s grace that I don’t deserve but am thankful for beyond words, my 50 years have been an incredible journey that I’m thrilled to be on.

And God willing, I’ll passionately continue each step following Him wherever the road leads.

But if Greene was expecting compliments for her photo, she didn’t get many of those. Instead, most of the responses were extremely critical and often hilarious.

Mick Jagger Trolls Trump With An Onstage Reference To Stormy Daniels

Rolling Stones frontman Mick Jagger hilariously trolled former president Donald Trump this week during a concert in New Jersey, even going so far as to reference adult film star Stormy Daniels, who is a key witness in Trump’s Manhattan fraud trial which resumes next week.

According to HuffPost, Jagger made his remarks during a performance of the legendary rock group at MetLife Stadium.

“I was a bit worried about the weather tonight. I thought we were going to get a Stormy Daniels, but we’re all right.”

Jagger also reminded fans there was “much bigger vote happening in November.”

Jagger’s comments led others on social media to join the fun.

NY Court System Hands Major Advantage To Trump Prosecutors Before Jury Begins Deliberations On Tuesday

When a jury reconvenes next Tuesday in Manhattan in the criminal case against former president Donald Trump, they’ll hear closing arguments from prosecutors and Trump’s attorneys, be given instructions for the deliberations by Judge Juan Merchan, and then begin their deliberations to determine whether or not Trump should be a convicted felon.

And it’s those closing arguments that could wind up being the difference in the case, which means that prosecutors have a decided advantage thanks to the way New York courts work, where the prosecution gets the last word, according to conservative attorney George Conway.

Conway told MSNBC host Katie Phang, “It’s the story of the documents. The way it works in New York state courts, which is unlike in some other courts like federal court, is that the defense gets to sum first and then the prosecution gets to sum next — it’s not prosecution, defense, prosecution rebuttal like it would be in a lot of other courts.”

“So the prosecution can really figure out how to basically wrap it all up and get the last word,” he added. “And that is an advantage to the prosecution.”

The last side to speak in any trial has a decided advantage because the jury will have those words fresh in their minds as they begin to determine if Trump is guilty or not guilty. And considering the evidence indicates that the ex-president did indeed commit multiple felonies, it should be a slam-dunk case. Time will tell.
