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.
In the NYT live feed, there is the claim that
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.
“Paper? Yeah I signed paper all the time. Sometimes words, sometimes numbers and words.”
In a way this is throwing the entire organization under the bus to avoid personal accountability. Let’s see how that works out. Yeah, the salary accountants that have nothing to gain from inflating our real estate values tricked me into enriching my family by getting me to sign papers I didn’t read. Sure buddy.
I know nossink, nossssink!
That defense should work for all the terms of service we have to sign to use any software.
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.
I’m listening to the Colorado case and they’re doing the same thing. The trump witnesses are so freaking bad. I trust this judge, she seems to be extremely fair, but that had the originator of the fucking tea party on and she was a deer in headlights when she realized she was accidentally testifying for the offense, lol. https://live.coloradojudicial.gov/?streamId=35b1db1b-2ccc-47e8-9f59-33cd656391f9
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.
What a Kendall Roy thing to say.
