South Florida Faces in Trump Fraud Trial



By John R. Byrne

If you haven't been living under a rock, you've probably seen the news about the Trump civil fraud trial in New York. The former president didn't need to personally appear but chose to do so, leading to frenetic press coverage. And, even in New York, South Florida is making its presence known. Trump's got quite a few South Florida lawyers representing him, including Chris Kise, Jesus M. Suarez, and Lazaro Fields (a former Judge Moreno law clerk) of Continental PLLC. I think I also saw Ben Kuehne (I'm going solely off the bow tie here)!

The trial is actually a bench trial and things have been tense at times between the Court and Trump/Trump's legal team. This could be a dry run of sorts for the trials to come.

Notice that the Supreme Court refused to hear a challenge to a District Court's finding that Trump an Eastman had "more likely than not" committed a crime in trying to obstruct Congress. https://www.reuters.com/legal/us-supreme-court-spurns-former-trump-lawyer-eastmans-appeal-over-emails-2023-10-02/

The writing is on the wall.

I'm willing to bet that at least one person, possible more, had heart attacks after reading that bit about Ben working for Trump. Too funny!

9:28 A.M. has a rather unusual way of reading Supreme Court tea leaves. At the end of the day, I do not believe that our Supreme Court will allow a bunch of nervous Democrats from being able to pick their president.
