Judge McAfee dismissal of the six counts presents a difficult question for the prosecution. If they try to secure a superseding indictment to correct the earlier mistakes, it will make it difficult to try the case before the election...
...The defense is allowed discovery and time to prepare for the new alleged crimes. That will take time off the clock. The court has indicated that they can still rely on the underlying conduct to make out the general racketeering charge. However, that theory was alreadly thin soup and it just got a bit thinner...
...Part of the value of the multiplicity of counts was to convey a pattern criminality as a foundation for the more serious racketeering charges. This does not disable the case, but it adds yet another set back for the prosecution as it awaits the disqualification decision.

There are reports that the New York appellate court has tossed out the absurd civil judgment against Donald Trump. If true, it is great news for the New York court system in regaining some of the credibility lost during this litigation...
...Notably, both AG Letitia James and Judge Arthur Engoron did their level best to effectively block an appeal by demanding a ridiculous bond. jonathanturley.org/2024/02/21/not…
...Judges Dianne T. Renwick and Peter H. Moulton wrote that "the court’s disgorgement order, which directs that defendants pay nearly half a billion dollars to the State of New York, is an excessive fine that violates the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution.” Bravo

Rep. Jason Crow just went on Fox Sunday and insisted that the lack of Russian collusion is nothing new since members knew about it for years. That is a particularly telling and franking damning statement since figures like Adam Schiff were out spreading the false collusion claims
...Now Sen. Schiff even insisted that he had evidence of collusion after the allegation was rejected by the Special Counsel -- evidence that he never produced and does not appear to exist. jonathanturley.org/2025/07/27/the…
...The mantra in the media and the Democratic Party that there is nothing to see here is predictable but hardly credible.

The media eagerly picked up the Morning Call story of the “disappearing” of an immigrant. As the story went viral, a few people decided actually to look into the case and found that it not only made no sense but there no evidence of such a deportation...jonathanturley.org/2025/07/23/the…
...The story had the same feel as the widely reported whipping of migrants by border agents. The media went into a frenzy over a false story accusing mounted officers of whipping undocumented migrants near Del Rio, Texas, on Sept. 19, 2021...
...In the end, it does not matter that the story may be false. After all, you can get a Pulitzer prize for a debunked story of Russian collusion funded by a political campaign.  It fits the preferred narrative of many in the media.

Gov. Tim Walz is continuing to express outrage this week over SNAP cuts in Minnesota. It is worth noting that the $430,000 he spent on prepping for his recent testimony would have paid for roughly 86,000 such meals for Minnesotan citizens instead of law firms and advisers...
...I criticized politicians like Boston Mayor Michelle Wu for spending similar amounts to prep for hearings. Officials should be able to answer questions on their record without spending lavishly on close-ups, like pampered, publicly funded Norma Desmonds. jonathanturley.org/2025/03/05/all…
...By the way, the figure is based on one estimate of SNAP meals costing roughly $5 a day for Minnesota residents. If accurate, that is actually three meals or a total of 258,000 individual meals...

The Supreme Court just delivered a major victory for the Trump Administration in lifting an injunction on layoffs as part of his downsizing of government. I was previously critical of Judge Illston’s order... jonathanturley.org/2025/06/03/rif…
...I previously criticized the judge for a decision that was, in my view, "well outside of the navigational beacons for the courts under the separation of powers." The Court has now reversed not only her decision but the Ninth Circuit...
...The Ninth Circuit declared that "The executive order at issue here far exceeds the president's supervisory powers under the Constitution" in what it described as "an unprecedented attempted restructuring of the federal government and its operations." However, the Court will allow the layoffs to continue, at least for now, as the case works it way through the legal system...

...We have our second case. It is another major one: Kennedy v. Braidwood Management. supremecourt.gov/opinions/24pdf…
It is 6-3 in upholding the constitutionality of the board that issued rules for the covering of preventative case. This avoids a massive potential disruption on covered health care services.
...Justice Thomas dissents with Alito and Gorsuch. Roberts, Kavanaugh, and Barrett join with the liberal justices...
