There is an important detail in the Testimony yesterday. Trump is such a narcissistic POS that he couldn’t ask the porn star for dinner on his own He sent his security guard to do that.
He did this because his pathology will not allow him to deal with rejection.
It's difficult to tell from reading the news updates on various networks exactly what went on today (these reporters don't seem to grasp what is important and what isn't or why), but it looks like from Necheles' questions that Trump is going to continue to deny that he had unprotected sex with hookers who he thinks resemble his daughter. Necheles did cross Daniels with "you never had an affair with President Trump."
But other than that question and maybe 1-2 similar broad ones, Necheles seems to have stayed away from the sexual encounter and Daniels' account of the sex acts and focused much more on Daniels' credibility. Which leads me to believe Trump's attorneys think they can deny in closing arguments that Trump romped with hookers under the blanket of "everything Daniels said is not credible" which would be a quasi-denial, but it would still not compel Trump to take the stand and affirmatively deny unprotected boff acts with hookers. This strategy could work to Trump's satisfaction. I sense he thinks he really needs to deny he romps with hookers for purely personal family reasons unrelated to his criminal liability in the case or his standing with the MAG@s. He's smart enough to know the jury knows he had weirdo, creep sex with hookers, but that it doesn't really matter to the case or his MAG@s that he did.
Donald Trump has pledged to scrap President Biden’s policies on electric vehicles and wind energy, and other initiatives opposed by the fossil fuel industry.
Karen Friedman Agnifilo on MeidasTouch suggested this morning that if Donald's defense lawyers (in the Manhattan document fraud/election interference trial) try to suggest that Donald did NOT have sex with Stormy Daniels, then the judge should be open to prosecutors asking to be allowed to go after visual proof of the affair to verify Stormy's testimony. Such as having Stormy describe Donald's junk, and Donald having to show his junk for photo for the jury. Karen FA has prosecuted sex crime cases in Manhattan and said that she had that done many times. It shouldn't really matter whether or not Donald had sex with Daniels, but it will be an issue if defense paints her as lying on this.

MeidasTouch often goes overboard. It puts on too much whacked out stuff like what you described from Karen Fried Agnifilo (whoever she is). The defense has suggested that Trump did not have sex with Daniels. But I guarantee nothing described above is going to even be suggested by the prosecution, and if they were to do something that nuts, (1) the Judge would be incredulous and (2) MAG@ media would have endless faux-outrage ammo to play with. It's never going to happen. In fact, by even suggesting this bullsh!t, MeidasTouch just gifted their opposition something to spin and get jacked up about.
^^ yes, BUT. Courts DO sometimes order such things. And if you will recall, it came close to happening in Paula Jones' civil case against Bill Clinton.
“The material that came in was not relevant to this criminal case at all. And I think it shows that she (Stormy) was trying to ‘get Trump.’ I actually thought there was a motive there.”- Judge Shira Scheindlin

Judge Merchan had a really good point in denying today's second, redundant motion for a mistrial -- in opening statements, Trump's lawyers very stupidly, it now seems, told the jury that Trump never had sex with Daniels. You can't make a claim in opening statements and then when the opposing side rebuts it with testimony, ask for a mistrial because that testimony is prejudicial to your claim.
Judge Merchan also noted that Necheles failed to object to the stuff she believed was prejudicial and noted that he -- Judge Merchan -- had to actually "object" for Necheles at least two times and tell Daniels to limit her responses to the questions asked. Can't ask for a mistrial on evidence you didn't object to. Trial 101 stuff there.
Basically, Trump's lawyers are to blame for the stuff that he doesn't like getting into evidence. And to be clear here is the unrebutted testimony that Trump doesn't like: while he was married, he had unprotected sex (no condom) with a hooker who he said reminded him of his daughter. As far as I can tell that was the only ground for these two bogus motions for mistrial.

porn star, writer, director -- not a hooker. A hooker would have asked for money. And we know Donald does NOT pay for anything unless he absolutely has to. Donald invited Stormy out for dinner but Donald did not even order food for them. Cheapskate.

It appears that Trump gave his attorneys a tongue lashing right as the trial started this morning. Many are postulating that Trumps attorney was told to grill her and make her look like she was a liar in support of his desire to look like he never had a the trist. Very bad legal strategy. And not beneficial to his case.
But when you have an idiot for a client you do dumb things. She was performing for an audience of one. Just like Alina Hobbs was forced to. It backfired.

Is there a person alive, cult members included, who believes Trump when he lies about not having sex with Stormy.
Does anyone think he has not repeatedly cheated on his wife?
Just admit he is not a family man and he has no character.
Also did anyone actually believe Trump when he said he wanted to go to Barron's graduation but the mean judge wouldn't let him. Now that the trial has been cancelled so he could go, the slime ball refuses to go to his son's graduation.
Stephen K. Bannon. What did Trump call him - something like "Skunky Steve"? Skunky Steve is one weird dude - willing to go to jail for the guy who publicly disparaged and abused him. I can't imagine the subservient mentality that takes. "Thank you Sir, may I have another!"
The U.S. Bureau of Prisons is sending Bannon a letter today on where and when to report. It will likely be a minimum or low security prison. Maybe Miami FCI. That's where his friend Peter Navarro is incarcerated. Bannon will be incarcerated by Monday at the latest.
A controversial Manhattan lawyer has sparked an investigation after he claimed to have given the judge in Donald Trump’s civil fraud trial unsolicited advice.
The New York state rules of conduct specify that a “a judge shall not initiate, permit, or consider ex parte communications, or consider other communications made to the judge outside the presence of the parties or their lawyers,” though there is wiggle room for a judge to “obtain the advice of a disinterested expert” if the judge gives advance notice to both parties in the case with the possibility of issuing their own responses.

Big day in Trump's Porn Start trial with Cohen on the stand. As always, very difficult to figure out what is going on from the cryptic and often confusing "real time" updates the media provides, but it looks like the prosecution has done a good job of walking Cohen through corroborating texts and emails (and some calls) showing that Trump was calling all the shots, wanted everything covered up, and he and all his employees and advisors (including, importantly, CEO Weisselberg) were engaging in all this subterfuge sh!t to protect the 2016 campaign.
We shall see what they can do on cross. Trump better make Blanche handle it, because that Bove guy is a total dweeb and Necheles made some mistakes with Stormey.
They came with all the receipts. Emails, texts, phone logs, bank records, hand written notes, you name it. Everything corroborates Cohen's story.
Trump's only hope is that one juror is uneasy about convicting a former President or doesn't understand what "beyond a reasonable doubt" means as it applies to the straightforward elements of most of the crimes he was charged with.
Absent that, he is getting convicted on many, if not all, of the charges.
The Republican nominee is going to be a felon.
It's not about the D.A., or the judge, or the number of Democrats in New York, or the porn star.
It's about the paper work. They documented the crime in detail.
