Trump Needs a Will Smith-Style Gag Order (Minus the Slap)
Despite a feeling of one step forward and two steps back Thursday morning, the jury in the Manhattan District Attorney’s election interference case against Donald Trump is now complete, with only the selection of five alternates left to be done.
Some legal experts had predicted that jury selection could take weeks but my own view was that the experience of Judge Juan Merchan, as well as the prosecutors in the case, would likely make the process a quick one.
In part, that is due to the fact that state courts in large cities are far more adept at handling jury selection in high profile cases than the federal courts with their more rarified atmosphere. But Merchan’s approach did cause some unforced errors which may repeat themselves and grow worse if not corrected.

Trump Ends NRA Speech With ‘Horror’ Warning Set to Dramatic QAnon Music Justin Sullivan/Getty ImagesDonald Trump followed up his endorsement by the National Rifle Association on Saturday with a speech stoking fears of the government under Joe Biden “coming for your guns” and a bizarre monologue set to dramatic music resembling a song favored by QAnon.Addressing thousands of members of the NRA at their annual meeting in Texas, the former president stuck to his usual talking points, hailing the reversal of Roe v. Wade as an “amazing thing,” comparing himself to Al Capone, and insisting “genius” runs in his bloodline.Then, as he wound down, in a disorienting shift, sentimental music began to play and Trump furrowed his brow and shook his head to deliver the grim message that America is “a failing nation.”Read more at The Daily Beast.thedailybeast.com
