| [IsraelTimes] Preliminary conversations held over practicalities of potential court appearance by ex-US president as part of probe into hush money paid to women who allege sexual encounters. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office has apparently been examining whether any state laws were broken in connection with the payments or the way Trump’s company compensated former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen for his work to keep the women’s allegations quiet. Daniels and at least two former Trump aides — onetime political adviser Kellyanne Conway and former spokesperson Hope Hicks — are among witnesses who have met with prosecutors in recent weeks. Cohen has said that at Trump’s direction, he arranged payments totaling $280,000 to porn actor Stormy Daniels and Playboy model Karen McDougal. According to Cohen, the payouts were to buy their silence about Trump, who was then in the thick of his first presidential campaign.

| #5 It's going to be another fizzle in the never-ending "walls are closing in" narrative. The cumulative damage to the integrity of the nation's institutions, and the populace's disregard for same, is ongoing and incurable also. |

| #4 There are only two ways to violate the law per Mark Gaetz. Illegal fund raising and using campaign money illegally. This does neither. |

| #3 Interesting precedent. Hush money is now illegal. Doesn’t Congress have a hush money fund? Seems to blow holes in any rationale for keeping the Epstein client list on the DL. |

| #2 Two interesting scenarios. DeSantis might require - and nix - an extradition order. Trump could elect not to bond himself out and insist on being jailed to grandstand (which would make it very interesting to accommodate his Secret Service bodyguards). Neither is likely but all the cards seem to be on the table. |
