Breaking: Trump admitted to probation officials he has a gun in Florida

Convicted felon possessing firearm =felony

Indicted person receiving firearm in interstate commerce =felony

Condition of release for Trump in DC , FL, GA is not committing a felony
cnn.com/politics/live-…Image
2/ Donald J. Trump condition of release in District of Columbia:

"IT IS ORDERED that the defendant's release is subject to these conditions:

The defendant must not violate federal, state, or local law while on release." Image
3/ Florida arraignment:

THE COURT: Subsection B requires the release to be subject to the condition that the person not commit a federal, state or local crime during the period of release .... I assume the Defendant, former President Trump, has no problems with that condition?

MR. BLANCHE: I assure you he does not, Your Honor.Image
4/ Georgia bond condition for Defendant Donald J. Trump:

"The Defendant shall not violate the laws of this State, the laws of any other state, the laws of the United States of America, or any other local laws." Image
5/ May recall that Trump team once boasted - and then walked back - a claim that he had purchased a gun while on release.

Recall this: Special Counsel Jack Smith submitted brief to DC court saying it could be a violation of his conditions of release.⤵️

7/ Re timing of move to Florida:

"Two of the three pistols he was licensed to carry were turned over to the NYPD on March 31, 2023, and a third gun listed on Trump’s license 'was lawfully moved to Florida,' the person [anonymous senior police official] added"

Lawfully. Hmm.

Brilliant remarks by @RepJasonCrow

Explaining why bill to sanction #InternationalCriminalCourt would damage US national security

“I come before you today a combat veteran, a supporter of the American Servicemembers Protection Act, a longtime supporter of Israel's security...”
2/ Congressman Crow outlines several pieces of recent congressional legislation and U.S. government support for the vital work of the International Criminal Court including on #RussianWarCrimes in Ukraine, #Darfur, Cote d’Ivoire, #Myanmar, the #DRC, and elsewhere.
3/ "The ICC’s largest funders are amongst our closest allies -- the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, France, and Japan. This bill puts us at serious risk of being forced to sanction many of our closest allies and partners, including: 30 out of 31 of our NATO allies; 6 of out 9 major non-NATO allies who have obligations to the Court like Argentina, Australia, Japan, Jordan, New Zealand, and the Republic of Korea."

I anticipate:

- DA asks for incarceration as sentence.
- Justice Merchan imposes period of incarceration.

I'll discuss 7pm ET @OutFrontCNN

Factors:

- Gravity of election fraud (Merchan has emphasized it)
- Defendant expresses no remorse
- Defendant's “history and character”
2/ Analysis of sentencing here.⤵️

See Question 47. "If convicted, what will be Trump’s sentence?"

By @NormEisen @AndrewWarrenFL @SivenWatt

justsecurity.org/93916/guide-ma…
3/ Prospect of incarceration as a sentence is also raised by being found guilty on all 34 felony charges.

Biggest factor in Trump's favor:

The rarity of incarceration as a sentence for first time offender of a Class E Felony.

I'm interviewed here on prosecutors bizarrely working with a ringleader of 2020 conspiracy (Ken Chesebro) to charge people below him

Response by Chesebro's attorney (1) throws GOP false electors under the bus; (2) exposes his own client to legal peril

1/
politico.com/news/2024/05/1…
2. Chesebro’s lawyer's quote below.⤵️

He incriminates false electors by saying they went further than Chesebro intended.

He hides that Chesebro himself helped submit their false certificates, pushed the Pence plan through to the end on back of their certificates, and more. Image
3. See for yourself.

Here’s just a smidgen of the huge body of evidence.

Email correspondence from Chesebro on submitting the false certificates. Dec 15 and Jan 4.⤵️

Under the radar:

A very important piece of evidence prosecutors entered during re-direct with Stormy Daniels on Thursday.

It contradicts a key promise President Trump's attorney made to jurors in Opening Statements.

My discussion with @ErinBurnett @Terridaustin @OutFrontCNN⤵️
2/ Here's the transcript of our conversation:
