Well, here is a novel defense (Manafort):
Defense attorney Richard Westling asked the jury to question the motives behind the bank-fraud and conspiracy charges against Manafort. It wasn’t the banks that came to the government to report that they had been defrauded and none of the banks reported concerns with Manafort’s loan applications to regulators, Westling said.
“Nobody came forward to say we’re concerned about what we’re seeing here, not until the special counsel showed up and started asking questions” Westling said.
So the Nobody Complained About Our Fraud defense? Yeah, that’s novel.
This, however, is valid:
And why did the government rely on calling low-level bank employees instead of calling certain key players to testify, Westling questioned. Where was Steve Calk, the Federal Savings Bank CEO who prosecutors say approved a shaky loan in a quid pro quo for a Trump administration job? Or the other members of the loan committee with Federal Savings Bank who also signed off on lending Manafort $16 million?
“It’s for you to determine what that means,” Westling said.
Westling told the jury that the government didn’t have enough evidence to show that Manafort had intended to defraud banks when seeking loans and that there was no conspiracy because there was no proof of a co-conspirator. Though the government suggested Manafort’s business associate Rick Gates was a co-conspirator, Gates said in his testimony that he didn’t seek to defraud a bank, Westling said.
The government, Westling said, “failed to show an agreement to act collectively to defraud a bank.”
I am quite curious about Calk, as well.

There’s a pretty good piece up at Talking Points Memo about how Trump has really declined; he used to be at least capable of humor, of a little self-deprecation now & again (remember his appearing in overalls to sing the theme song to Green Acres?).
These days? Nothing but snarling, savagery & sadism.
Sometimes he’ll just do a movie review or talk about one of his movie star friends. There is that thing we almost never see in him now - humor. True humor, as opposed to mere sarcasm or viciousness, always contains a measure of self-deprecation. Viciousness and attack have always been Trump’s native language. But these other modes were at least present. They’re gone now.

If there is a strong mid-term Democratic victory, and not just at the Federal level but at the state level as well, the GOP may have an epiphany - namely, they now find themselves shackled to the corpse of Trump’s presidency.
If or when the GOP realizes that Trump is the carcass of a decaying albatross strung across their necks, self-preservation will kick in. Republicans love power more than anything else in this world…..and they will do anything to maintain their power. If that means kicking Trump to the curb - then so be it.

Impeachment in the Senate requires a two-thirds majority of the Senators. That would be an awful high bar to clear in the midterms.
Not even mathematically possible, given that only 8 GOPer seats are up for reelection :(

So it was so vitally important to revoke @JohnBrennan’s security clearance that Trump decided to do it 3 weeks ago, then sat on it until he needed a distraction. https://t.co/P2NPH9kVns

A Dem majority in the house can mean investigations and legislation that make things so rough for Trump in his 3rd year that he may decide to quit the job (heck, leave the country) before his term is over. That’s my personal slim glimmer of hope…
re: #91 wrenchwench
Good midterms won’t make enough of a difference to make Republican support unnecessary?
No matter how good the midterms are, the Democrats won’t get 67 seats in the Senate, or even close enough that a couple of rouge GOP Senators could get them over the top. To remove Trump as President would require a large number of Republicans to abandon him, and that just isn’t going to happen.

He’d have to leave the country. The Presidency is protecting him from lots of legal ramifications so resignation seems extremely doubtful. Plus, the grift is still good.

re: #98 Dr Lizardo
If there is a strong mid-term Democratic victory, and not just at the Federal level but at the state level as well, the GOP may have an epiphany - namely, they now find themselves shackled to the corpse of Trump’s presidency.
If or when the GOP realizes that Trump is the carcass of a decaying albatross strung across their necks, self-preservation will kick in. Republicans love power more than anything else in this world…..and they will do anything to maintain their power. If that means kicking Trump to the curb - then so be it.
Wish I could agree. But their power base, GOP voters, belong heart and soul to Trump. Voting to remove Trump would be career suicide for any Republican.

The bitterest political dispute I had with my mother was back in the 70s. She took the position that women should be voted for, no matter what their political positions were, in the interest of showing that women can successfully serve in office. Even if it were Phyllis Schlafley. I said a man with more agreeable politics would be the better vote.
All the other disputes have been personal.
Everything about this picture is epic. Before it was NASA, it was NACA, the National Advisory Council for Aeronautics. This is NACA test pilot George Cooper with an F-100 in about 1956. He was co-inventor of the Cooper-Harper Scale for quantifying the handling qualities of aircraft. Amazingly for a test pilot of that era, Mr. Cooper lived to be 100 years old, dying in 2016.

re: #87 Big Beautiful Door
In all likelihood Trump will be President until January 2021. Impeachment or the 25th Amendment would require Republican support, and the GOP is wholly Trump’s party now; Republicans won’t dare enrage the base by voting to remove him.
It is political suicide.
The Republicans in office have to be doing studies based on polling as to where their futures are heading.
If reports are true, that base is getting smaller and smaller. There are now way more people identifying as independents and libertarians. Probably more Democrats now from crossovers too.
So what the hell are they doing catering to a bunch of people that might not be strong enough to effectively get them reelected?
I know they may be counting on gerrymandered districts. But last Tuesday Ohio D12 showed that isn’t working either. Ohio D12 is as gerrymandered as it can get and Trump has changed it from a plus 36 points to 1.
Not to take away from Danny O’Connor’s fine run. I hope he wins in November. However, if there was another candidate with a little more experience and name recognition they might have won that election.
The Republicans need to get their own back involved and that will only come by showing they can stand up to Trump. That base is still Republican. Sure they are crazy mad about Trump now, but they will still vote for Republicans in the future.
I guess most of them are ready to leave Washington or something, because to me they don’t seem to be very worried about keeping their party together for a future.
Trump isn’t going to accomplish that. He’s destroying it like he is messing everything up.

That’s twice in a few weeks. And we are not in the real November election fights yet. He’ll probably have to come back to support Mike DeWine for the governor’s race and try to get Republican stiff Congressman Jim Renacci in the race against Sherrod Brown for Senate.
Right now Brown is somewhere north of 15 points ahead. Richard Cordray is in pretty much a tie with DeWine with an average of 1.5 points ahead.
