As we kick off the new year, the legal landscape is heating up with a significant development involving none other than Donald Trump. Just a few days ago, on January 3, 2025, a critical decision was made in the hush money trial of the former President.New York Judge Juan Merchan upheld Trump's conviction, a move that has sparked intense debate and scrutiny. However, in a surprising twist, Judge Merchan mandated that the sentence, scheduled for January 10, will not include jail time. This decision has left many wondering about the implications and what it means for Trump's future[2][4].The trial has been a long and arduous process, with Trump initially requesting an adjournment of sentencing until after the 2024 Presidential election. The prosecution did not oppose this request, leading to a delay that has now come to an end[4].Legal analysts and political pundits are dissecting the decision, trying to understand the legal and political ramifications. CNN's Kara Scannell provided a detailed recap of Judge Merchan's decision, while CNN's Paula Reid delved deeper into the judge's filing. Discussions with experts like former federal prosecutor Alyse Adamson and CNN legal analyst Jennifer Rodgers have shed light on the intricacies of the decision and its potential impact on Trump[2].The political side of the story is also being closely examined. Former Democratic Rep. Mondaire Jones and CNN political analyst Scott Jennings have weighed in on the implications for Trump's political career and the broader political landscape[2].As we move forward, all eyes are on January 10, when Trump is set to be sentenced. The world will be watching to see how this chapter unfolds and what it means for the future of Donald Trump. With the legal and political stakes high, this is a story that will continue to captivate and intrigue us in the days to come.

May 30, 2024 is a day that will live in infamy! Donald Trump became the first former President of the United States to be brought to court on felony charges and have a jury reach a verdict of guilty.

The debates will rage over whether or not this was justice or merely political lawfare.In part 4, we cover the defense witnesses--such as they were. Trump decided not to testify.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (10/12/2023): 3:05pm- In a post to the social media outlet X, Reason editor and podcaster Nick Gillespie discussed the libertarian response to the October 7th Hamas terror attacks against Israel. Gillespie explains, “I'm increasingly frustrated by whataboutist libertarian takes on indefensible Hamas terrorism that seemingly deny Israel's unquestionable right to respond to war crimes committed within its own borders. If your first—or second, or third—response to civilian deaths is to point out that not all the children were decapitated, you're doing it wrong. These takes tend to conflate questions of legitimate national self-defense on the part of a country and possible US intervention that is often morally, strategically, and pragmatically suspect. A similar conflation was evident when Russia invaded Ukraine, with too many libertarians justifying Putin's war-of-choice as the inevitable result of US foreign policy, impugning Ukrainians defending themselves, or waving away solidarity with and empathy for the invaded as ‘CIA talking points.' Same with Taiwan and Hong Kong. But the righteousness of self-defense and American military involvement are totally separate matters. More than most nations, Israel is capable of defending itself (and will do so with greater restraint than most countries would in similar circumstances). The US should not become involved militarily even as we should offer humanitarian aid and assistance, including to Gazans suffering under Hamas rule. We shouldn't be the world's policeman (the past 20 years of our foreign policy testify to that) but we also can play a role in minimizing conflict and suffering.” You can listen to Gillespie's podcast here: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/EBfQXtaCpKg 3:40pm- Kara Scannell of CNN reports that, “[f]ederal prosecutors on Thursday announced an additional charge against New Jersey Democratic Sen. Bob Menendez and his wife, alleging they conspired to have the senator act as a foreign agent of Egypt. The superseding indictment filed against Menendez, who was chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee at the time of the alleged actions, adds a new dimension to the case by alleging a US senator was working on behalf of another country.” In September, Menendez was charged with accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes with federal prosecutors finding $500,000 in cash, as well as gold bars, in Menendez's home—some of which contained fingerprints or DNA of Fred Daibes, a real estate developer accused of bribing Menendez and his wife Nadine.
