The Internet is raging with conspiracy theories this weekend on how President Donald Trump may be faking his illness or using his Covid-19 treatment for some hidden dark purpose. jonathanturley.org/2020/10/03/tru…
...If we are going to unleash implausible conspiracy theories, at least make them interesting. Something far more sinister could be revealed as Trump emerges from his experimental treatment. No, not viral immunity. I am speaking of super MAGA powers:
...now that is a conspiracy theory. Otherwise, let's stick with the plausible medical and legal realities. This is a serious illness that is being treated by a staff of hundreds of professionals, not co-conspirators. The President is high-risk but they have also moved quickly...
...Perhaps we can take a break from our ragefest and just hope for a quick recovery. We can then resume this blood sport also known as the American presidential election.

The oral argument in Fischer v. United States has now begun. jonathanturley.org/2024/04/16/sup…
...Justice Sotomayor was quick out of the gate to pursue a tough line of questioning for the defense counsel on why the broader meaning is warranted...
...Justice Barrett continued the tough questioning by asking if the defendant can still be convicted for seeking obstructing by seeking to stop the certificates themselves. In this way, the Court could adopt a narrower meaning but still allow for possible prosecution...

Just when you thought higher education could not be more bizarre . . . Students are accusing Berkeley Dean Erwin Chemerinsky's wife, law professor Catherine Fisk, of assault after students refused to leave a dinner at their home and staged a protest...
...Both Fisk and Chemerinsky were objecting that this is their home as Fisk sought to grab the microphone from one of the protesters. ...
...Ironically, I have my students over to my house each term and often use the class party in my torts discussion on trespass. I explore the legal ramifications of what would happen if one of them just refused to leave. Erwin just supplied next year's example though at a ridiculous cost to him and his wife.

Disney is reportedly dropping the remaining litigation against Florida. It follows an earlier loss in court. It confirms the demise of the last minute agreement forged by Disney with its handpicked board. msn.com/en-us/travel/n…

...I have previously criticized the Disney litigation as short-sighted and costly for the company. The costs of Disney's political agenda were magnified by its ill-considering litigation efforts. ...jonathanturley.org/2023/11/27/hap…
...The shareholders should have answers on what was achieved by this stubborn and confrontational campaign against Florida. Some of us said at the outset that it would lose in this effort and lacked a winning strategy. It seemed more cathartic than strategic...

The NY Court of Appeals has finally intervened to offer a modicum of restraint in the Trump case. It has A has given former President Donald Trump 10 more days to post a bond of $175 million. That is likely doable and avoids the cliff drop set up by Engoron and James.
...Both Engoron and James would have gained greater credibility if they recognized the obvious unreasonableness of the original demand. While still a massive bond lift, it should be attainable for Trump to allow for the review of Engoron's controversial ruling...
...For those looking for a thrill kill moment at midnight, this will be a disappointment. Hopefully, the appellate court will restore a degree of objectivity and restraint missing on the trial level...

U.S. District Judge William Henry Pauley III slammed Michael Cohen today in saying that he has clearly committed "perjury." The court noted that there are "two possibilities: one, Cohen committed perjury when he pleaded guilty before Judge Pauley or, two, Cohen committed perjury in his October 2023 testimony. Either way, it is perverse to cite the testimony, as Schwartz did, as evidence of Cohen’s ‘commitment to upholding the law.’”
...This manifest problem will only become magnified in the upcoming Trump trial where Alvin Bragg is calling Cohen as his star witness. Defense counsel will only need to read his past statements to leave him mired in self-impeaching contradictions...
...Cohen has long been able to find powerful allies who value in his dubious skill set and flexible sense of ethics. I was critical of Cohen when he was a thuggish lawyer with Trump and he has changed little since then in my view... jonathanturley.org/2023/03/22/the…

Rep. Stephen Lynch (D., Mass.) just stated that the Republican legal experts said that there was no evidence to even suggest that President Biden may have committed impeachable offenses. That appears a reference to me and it is untrue...
...I stated that there was "ample" evidence for an impeachment inquiry based on the existing evidence and, if proven, some of these allegations would be a credible basis for impeachment. ...jonathanturley.org/2023/09/28/tur…
...My point was that an impeachment inquiry should not start with a presumption of impeachable conduct and that I was not making such a presumption. The sole question was whether an inquiry was warranted and I testified that it was...
