The would-be assassin set up shop 450 ft from the stage. The NYT says that was “outside the security perimeter but well within rifle range of Mr. Trump.” Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle says she takes full responsibility but refuses to step down.

The jury convicted him on all 34 counts of ,,,um, …um, well the judge never really did say what the underlying crime was. But he did hang a gag order on the leading candidate in the 2024 presidential election.
Oh wait, Trump said on Friday the gag order hasn’t been lifted.
Biden Campaign Contribution
The alleged crime in Trump’s hush money trial was 6 years past its expiration date. The only way Prosecutor Bragg could drag Trump into a New York courtroom was to tie the old crime to a new intended felony.
Here’s how the WSJ editorial page put it: “Mr. Bragg’s main argument for the second crime is that because the Stormy payoff was primarily meant to influence the 2016 election, it was in effect an illegal donation to Mr. Trump’s campaign.”
Or could Stormy’s two days of juicy testimony be considered a campaign contribution to Joe Biden?

There are very fine people on both sides.
