Quote

In Gartner’s eyes, the stress of the trial could be exacerbating Trump’s decline, hastening the unraveling of a man once synonymous with authority.

“The trial is really a form of psychological torture for a malignant narcissist who needs to appear powerful. Instead, he appears small, confused, and helpless,” he observed.

I’ve seen similar hundreds of times.  Didn’t want to mention it because I get that people don’t believe the ‘we got him’ narrative, but I said WAY back all the trials would melt what’s left of his brain.  
I have seen the worst of narcissists fall apart when they’re stressed like this - many of them I had to sign into dementia units due to how quickly it all falls apart.  
There’s a 100% chance this is really going to affect him - but he could tough out another year, and we all see his delay tactics, and the election is the biggest one of those.  So let’s see…got my popcorn ready.

Honest question for you, Doc:  are you saying stress can cause dementia?  Or stress can accelerate dementia?  I can believe the latter, the former seems unlikely, but I'm but a simple man.

We don’t even know what all underlying issues could potentially lead to dementia - we do know that stress makes pretty much everything worse.  
As for stress…fatfuck thrives in chaos - that’s not necessarily stress for him. But sitting in court with people talking shit on you all day and actual peasants (how he sees them) deciding your fate?  Thats maximum stress for this POS.  MOARRRR

I’m curious to how they can even bring supporting character witnesses in. They can all be proven to be completely full of shit on cross rather easily. Trump is indefensible and they have him pretty dead to rights on the charges here.

They literally paid her to shut up nearing an impending election.  That's of material value to the campaign, and well above allowable limits.  How is that not a violation?

And a lot of these witnesses are people whom he either employed or worked with and thought we’re loyal to him. While he believes he has the right to turn on people and throw them under the bus to save his ass, it clearly drives him crazy that these same people might throw him under the bus to save their asses.

Character witnesses aren't a big deal in criminal trials, or really any trials because putting them on opens the door to the prosecution to bring its own character evidence in.

And, they may serve a purpose with a defendant unknown to the jury, but not with Trump.  There's no character witness alive that could change anyone's mind on Trump.

The incongruous bits of the case are that the records in question were falsified, but to whom?  They aren't public records or of a publicly traded company. The answer to that one is to anyone investigating the books, like here.

But the real rub may be using the federal crime (election/campaign violations) as the "predicate" to raise the falsifying businesits records to a felony. The jury may not bite on that.

A good piece on Pecker's final day of testimony and an opinion that "standard operating procedure" is too sleazy to work on the jury. https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/standard-operating-procedure-sure-seems-criminally-sleazy

Also contains something I think was missing from the day-by-day narrative posted by Francisco:  

All of which is why AMI consulted with an election law attorney before the McDougal agreement was finalized, Pecker explains. 

But as far as Pecker knows, the election law attorney only reviewed the plain text of McDougal’s contract, which didn’t mention anything about Pecker’s arrangement with Trump and Cohen or his expectation that he would be reimbursed for buying McDougal’s story.

Kaboom.

Also, a good piece, citing to Jack Balkin's (a real, live crit, by the way, meaning CLS scholar) and Steve Vladeck's blogs. on why the reportage of the immunity argument at SCOTUS was hysterical and catastrophizing.  https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/catastrophizing-the-oral-argument-in-trump-v.-u.s
