News Organizations Push for Biden and Trump to Debate

CNN's legal analyst Elie Honig writing in a Cafe Brief newsletter that was reprinted in New York magazine on Friday presented both the pro and anti Trump ways of looking at the Alvin Bragg case that takes place on April 15 in Manhattan. It is obvious which of the two point of view that Honig thinks is most realistic in &;quot;Donald Trump’s Trial Is a Rorschach Test.&;quot; ...The crime is a paperwork offense relating to how Trump and his businesses logged a series of perfectly legal (if unseemly) hush-money payments in their own internal records. The prosecution’s star witness is a convicted perjurer and fraudster who openly spews vitriol at the defendant‚ often in grotesque terms‚ essentially for a living. The famously aggressive feds at the Southern District of New York passed on the case years ago‚ and current Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg’s predecessor could have indicted before he left office but did not. The charges are either misdemeanors or the lowest-level felonies (depending on how the jury decides the case)‚ and the vast majority of defendants convicted of similar offenses are sentenced to probation and fines‚ not prison. Having presented the POV favorable to Trump‚ Honig then presents what appears to be a rather lame way of looking at the trial from someone hostile towards Trump presenting it as a desperate payoff scheme in 2016 to keep his campaign from collapsing: ...To keep his listing campaign from capsizing‚ Trump and his team paid off porn star Stormy Daniels to keep quiet about an alleged extramarital affair and then labeled those payments “legal expenses.” Already the first American president or former president to face indictment‚ Trump could soon become the first to sustain a felony conviction‚ and it’s possible he could lose the 2024 election — and eventually wind up behind bars — as a result. It's not hard to discern which of these viewpoints Honig thinks best reflects reality. This is also reflected in what else he wrote: ...Paying hush money is not a crime. In fact‚ a hush-money agreement‚ though seedy‚ is legally no different from any other contract between private parties. So Trump knowing about the Daniels payoff — and he clearly did — is merely a starting point here and insufficient to prove anything criminal. The charged New York State crime here is falsification of business records. The DA alleges Trump had the hush-money payments fraudulently recorded in his internal books as “legal expenses” (rather than‚ I don’t know‚ “hush money to porn star”). If proved‚ that’s merely a misdemeanor‚ a low-level crime virtually certain to result in a non-prison sentence. For comparison‚ under the New York code‚ falsification of business records has the same technical designation as shoplifting less than $1‚000 of goods. ...But it’s not entirely clear whether Trump was involved in the actual logging of those payments in the internal records of his business — remember‚ that’s the crime. In fact‚ when Cohen secretly recorded his then-client talking about a hush-money payment to another woman in 2016‚ Trump seems clueless about the accounting mechanism. ...The received wisdom is that the Manhattan case is the least important‚ and will be the least impactful‚ of the four pending Trump indictments. The first part of that proposition is beyond reasonable dispute. One has to wonder if Donald Trump is guilty of so many massive crimes as those who oppose to him allege‚ why do the cases against him such as the Manhattan case appear to be so incredibly weak and prosecuted by either corrupt or highly biased or flawed officials while being surreptitiously aided by the Biden administration&;#63; Hopefully‚ Elie Honig won't be shunned by his CNN colleagues for his observations about the Manhattan case.

This is justice for Sade.&;quot;Scarbrough continued‚ &;quot;When he's on the inside‚ I want you to rape and torture that [expletive] until I get to his ass and haunt him eternally. Torture that [expletive] and rape him. Justice for Sade. Justice will be served for my baby.&;quot;Anderson is currently in jail and being held on a $5 million bond.Sade's uncle‚ David Scarbrough‚ said of Robinson‚ &;quot;Sade was more than a person‚ she was an angel.

My sister and parents won't stop shaking‚ and it ain't because they're nervous. Imagine trying to bury your niece with no body for the service. I need justice for Sade.&;quot;The grieving mother added‚ &;quot;Her whole life was so ahead of her. She was so‚ so amazing. So beautiful‚ such a beautiful angel.

The family of a teenage baseball star in Tennessee who mysteriously died in July 2020 has accused the Tennessee funeral home of breaking both of his ankles and throwing the clothes he was wearing away on the day of the crash‚ according to the Daily Mail.Grant Solomon — who allegedly died after his pickup truck struck him — had both of his ankles broken while at the Williamson Memorial Funeral Home. The family reportedly discovered the gruesome scene after they asked the funeral home to open the lower half of the mahogany-colored casket during the ceremony.Solomon's mother‚ Angie Solomon‚ said she almost &;quot;fainted&;quot; when she first looked inside the casket‚ According to hospital records‚ Solomon's ankles were not injured in the crash.After Angie's claims came to light‚ Eric Bonetti‚ editor of Anglican Watch‚ the unofficial watchdog of the Episcopal Church‚ filed a complaint against the funeral home and owner with the Tennessee Board of Funerals‚ per the report. Bonetti alleged that Angie was informed by a member of the funeral staff that her son's ankles had been broken for the remains to fit in the casket.The complaint also noted that personal items had been thrown away &;quot;without authorization.&;quot; When Solomon's mother asked for his clothes‚ the funeral home allegedly said they threw them away because they were a biohazard.The Daily Mail reported that Bonetti sent the board a complaint letter in 2023‚ asking them to investigate what happened at the Williamson Memorial Funeral Home on or about July 20‚ 2020.In that complaint‚ Bonetti claimed that the staff &;quot;knowingly broke Grant’s ankles to fit him into an undersized casket when preparing him for casketing.&;quot;&;quot;They told family members that they did this to fit Grant into his casket‚ which makes zero sense‚ as he was 6’4 and a standard casket size accommodates remains up to 6’5.&;quot;&;quot;I further believe this conduct was not authorized by the family and thus constitutes abuse of corpse under Tennessee law.&;quot;&;quot;Moreover‚ Pam destroyed various personal effects belonging to the decedent without authorization.&;quot;&;quot;On top of that‚ Pam was profoundly rude to family members and inappropriately waded into a dispute between the decedent’s parents.&;quot;&;quot;I ask that you investigate and if these claims are verified‚ file criminal charges against all involved.&;quot; Like Blaze News&;#63; Bypass the censors‚ sign up for our newsletters‚ and get stories like this direct to your inbox.
