Food for thought prior to the Zoom:

From ABC/IPSOS Poll in April :

Andrew McCarthy in National Review on the Trump trial PRIOR to verdict:

"Let me preface this by saying that the fix is in here, so maybe it didn’t matter what the defense did in this case. Still, strategically speaking, Team Trump has presented one of the most ill-conceived, self-destructive defenses I have ever seen in decades of trying and analyzing criminal cases. The reason for this is clear: Trump insisted that his lawyers subordinate his defense at trial to the political narrative he wants to spin in the 2024 campaign. In this instance, the legal and political strategies cannot be synced. Hence, Trump is helping Bragg get his coveted convictions."

Alvin Bragg from his campaign via Politifact:

"So, yeah, you are right, we got two standards of justice. Harvey Weinstein. Jeffrey Epstein. Being a rich old white man has allowed you to evade accountability in Manhattan. That includes Trump and his children — they were engaged in fraud in a SoHo real estate deal with his children. So, you are right, we have two standards of justice. I grew up in the second standard in Harlem. I know all about it.

"And you’re right, I am being a little careful because I don’t want to prejudge and then I get into office and then the first motion I get from the Trump team is I got to recuse myself because I have prejudged the facts. But you’re right, there’s a lot out there in the public domain that is so troubling and I say that not just as someone who is watching it but as someone who’s done these kinds of cases, someone who has litigated with Donald Trump about fraud and, by the way, and won. Right? We held him accountable in the Trump Foundation case. My office did the Trump University case. So I have seen a pattern of lawlessness over 20 years and so I am inclined to believe all I have seen in the public domain and believe that there’s a path forward there to make the case."
