“Since the commencement of this bench #trial, my chambers have been inundated w/hundreds of #harassing & #threating phone calls, voicemails, emails, letters, & packages.
“The #FirstAmendment right of defendants & their #attorneys to comment on my staff is far & away outweighed by the need to #protect them from #threats & physical #harm.

“Over the past wk, defendants' principal #attorneys, namely, Christopher #Kise …& Alina #Habba…, have made, on the record, repeated, inappropriate remarks about my Principal #LawClerk, falsely accusing her of bias against them & of improperly influencing the ongoing bench trial. Defendants' attys have made long speeches alleging that it is improper for a #judge to consult w/a law clerk during ongoing proceedings,
Justice #Engoron expanded his #GagOrder, to include Trump’s #attorneys.
In the new order, Engoron details the attacks by #Trump that initiated the original order. He also describes Trump’s first violation of the order & the second that resulted in a $5k & $10k fine respectively.
Engoron then writes,
“I imposed the gag order only upon the parties, operating under the assumption that such a gag order would be unnecessary upon the attorneys, who are officers of the Court.
#Kise: "I need to make objections going forward...for an appellate record.” (IOW for the boss, for the narrative, for the media)
Justice #Engoron: "What do you propose to do (object every time) you see a note… every day?”
#NYAG atty Kevin Wallace objects: "This sideshow of talking (about the clerk), seems to me to be largely nothing, but also appears to be (designed) to interrupt our presentation of evidence.”
Engoron says he'll issue a written decision on the matter later today.
#EricTrump: "It's very clear that Mar-a-lago is not a club, it's a private residence,...so yes, 100%.”
#NYAG turned to the separation agreement between #AllenWeisselberg & the #TrumpOrganization which was executed after his #conviction for #TaxFraud. The agreement explicitly stated that #Weisselberg agreed not to cooperate in any proceedings against Trump unless compelled to do so by authorities. A #TrumpOrg payment of $2M to Weisselberg was contingent upon his signature. (#WitnessTampering)
#MarALago was appraised as a private club in 2019, at a rate of $359 / square foot.
#NYAG: "Did you understand that in the state of Florida, residential properties are assessed at a higher rate per square foot?"
#EricTrump: "I would have no idea.”
NYAG: "Did you understand when you signed the 2021 (cert of Trump's finances) that Mar-a-Lago was being valued as a private residence that could be sold to a private individual?"
Eric says that was his understanding at the time.
#EricTrump: "I relied on the accounting office, I relied on one of the biggest accounting firms in the country. I relied on a great legal team...& when they gave me comfort I signed (the certification).”
#NYAG then switched to the topic of Trump's #MarALago property in Palm Beach. He showed emails stating that if #Trump wanted to live at the property, he would have to apply w/local authorities for a "homestead exemption" because it was zoned solely to be used as a social club.
#Trump & #TrumpOrganization #civil #fraud #Trial Fri, Nov 3, 2023, AM session;
The day began w/ yesterday’s drama. Trump attys accused #NY Supreme Court Justice Arthur #Engoron's #LawClerk, #AllisonGreefield, of bias, & the asserted she influences the judge.
Yesterday, Engoron warned Trump atty #Kise not to speak about court staff, & noted a pattern of #misogyny in Kise’s behavior toward women in the courtroom.
“Defendants' #FirstAmendment arguments in opposition to the imposition are wholly unpersuasive. This #GagOrder is as narrowly tailored as possible to accomplish its purpose, which is to protect the #safety of my staff & promote the orderly progression of this #trial. …I will not tolerate, under any circumstances, remarks about my court staff. The #threat of, & actual, #violence resulting from heated political rhetoric is well-documented.
Student close contact behavior and COVID-19 transmission in China's classrooms. (June 2023)
Long-range transmission of SARS-CoV-2 is the dominant mode:
"The COVID-19 pandemic has evolved into a global public health threat with associated economic and social burden. Classrooms should receive more attention since they are where virus transmission frequently occurs, since students spend long periods in class and have frequent close contacts, and indoor ventilation is frequently insufficient. In fact, many documented cases of COVID-19 spread occurred in classrooms and schools. Most governments temporarily closed schools at various times during the pandemic to prevent the spread of the virus, impacting >90% of students worldwide.

Ukraine already has more weapon types than NATO does – General Staff https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-ato/3782468-ukraine-already-has-more-weapon-types-than-nato-does-general-staff.html #Ukraine
This is manifesting as "I can't hear you with your mask" and sometimes a request to take it off, even when we speak up. Or not wanting to work with us, or be with us, even when they've shown every indicating of appreciating us in other ways. Our son, who's in high school, is mostly being treated well, but I get the sense that some teachers really haven't liked his masking and feel that he's a lesser student because they don't see his whole face. It's so, so frustrating.
G+ refugee and simply want my instance to work reliably.
