The Post Insurrection. Part IX. The waiting upon justice edition.

March 19, 2024

Trump, who represents that his assets are vast, is not able to post a bond covering the full amount of a $454 million civil fraud judgment against him during appeal and has related the same in a filing in court.  He's seeking not to have to post bond.

If the Court does not grant him relief, execution on the judgment could start immediately.

Cont:

Donald Trump is suing ABC News and George Stephanopoulos over comments made in the last This Week episode in the Nancy Mace interview.

As Trump sits in a New York courtroom on charges of election interference for paying porn figures not to reveal his dalliances with them, while a married man, a host of figures were indicted in Arizona for an attempt to seat false electors.

Trump was fined for violating a court "gag" order in a contempt of court ruling in his hush money trial.  He was further warned that he may be jailed in a future contempt ruling, should this conduct repeat.

The same court is allowing him to appear at his son Barron's high school graduation, which apparently would be the first time that he would attend one of his children's high school graduations.

Elise Stefanik filed an ethics complaint against Trump prosecutor Jack Smith, in a move that itself lacks moral ethics.  Stefanik should be ashamed, but the concept of shame is sadly lacking currently.

May 30, 2024

Trump was convicted on all 34 Counts in the New York election interference case.

The claims that it was a political prosecution and featured a rigged jury will start any second now.

June 6, 2024

The Georgia election interference case, which is one of the more significant ones, has been stayed while an appeal goes forward on whether prosecutor Willis may remain on the case, and so human foibles will end up causing this case not to be heard prior to the election, probably.

Willis should step aside to let t his matter go forward.

July 15, 2024

To the general amazement of the legal community, the classified documents case has been dismissed on the basis of the Special Prosecutor having been appointed in violation of the appointments act.  The Special Prosecutor is going to appeal, but there's no way an appeal will be heard prior to the election.

This is frankly bizarre.

August 3, 2024

The criminal case against Donald Trump for trying to overturn the 2020 election shall resume.  It's been stayed for 8 months pending the outcome of the Supreme Court opinion on immunity, which the Judge will now have to figure out how to apply.

August 28, 2024

A new amended indictment has been filed.

September 7, 2024

Not related to the insurrection, but to Trump's legal problems, his sentencing in the hush money case has been delayed until after the election.

Frankly, this makes no sense.
