After an afternoon on the stand yesterday, Trump Jr. is back. He said in direct examination this morning that he doesn’t recall the specifics of several documents he was presented with in court, but that the Trump Organization’s accountants and accounting firm, Mazars USA, would be more familiar with the details.

      I don’t think he’s taking this as seriously as dad, he may not understand how bad this will be if this gets finalized.

        Asked about a loan document from Deutsche Bank in 2017 on which he signed as “attorney in fact,” Trump Jr. said he didn’t remember signing it, but added: “I’m sure I’ve signed dozens of these in my time as trustee.”

        “Paper? Yeah I signed paper all the time. Sometimes words, sometimes numbers and words.”

        The games he’s playing could maybe, maybe work on a jury if there were any MAGA-friendly jurors but this isn’t a jury trial and this bush league BS won’t work on the judge. They’re fucked and Jr is too stupid, cocky or drug addled (likely all three) to know.

            This would be hysterical if it wasn’t real life; I mean it still is funny but it’s also terrifying lol.

              I almost typed that same thing, it really is funny until you realize how much hinges on him not getting power again. I think they’re trying to bore us to death currently during the Colorado case.
