Good.

Any day Trump has to sit in a courtroom means he has to listen to the facts of his case. He can deny them as much as he wants but they are facts.

Added bonus: he won’t be on the campaign trail spouting nonsense

That's what it's called when a ship or plane is seized by court order.

Let him take a commercial flight home.

Because that's exactly the crime here. Not paying a porn star. It's election interference.

where one of Jack Smith's cases (federal) is "election interference" (which might be why they opted to use "hush money" here, although they could have qualified it with "NY state 'election interference' case" ).

But sensationalism sells, so "hush money" will be what the media clings to. But it's too bad they can't stick the words "election interference" in there somewhere, because that is exactly what it is.

I'm a scientist, so I am also a pedant.

As an aside, it seems almost quaint now that he was actually afraid of the "grab 'em by the pussy" fallout that he paid off women because he feared the effect of that behavior on the election. We've gone miles down the sewer since then.

and as we both know, the eyeballs are supreme.

The feds already prosecuted that a few years ago (which sent Cohen to prison for business and election fraud) and now we're talking a "state" case but as a state case, it's also the first "criminal" one of the 4 current federal and state criminal actions, that will come to trial (AG Tish James' business fraud case is civil), and won't be pardonable federally.

Former President Donald Trump will stand trial over a hush payment to Stormy Daniels beginning with jury selection on April 15, Judge Juan Merchan ruled Monday, rejecting Trump's request for an additional delay.

The case, which was initially scheduled to begin jury selection on Monday, was adjourned for 30 days by Merchan earlier this month, after defense attorneys raised issues with the late production of over 100,000 pages of potential evidence by federal prosecutors.

The judge decided Monday that the District Attorney of New York County is not at fault for the late production of documents from the U.S. Attorney's office for the Southern District of New York.

"The Manhattan District Attorney's office made diligent, good faith efforts" to retrieve appropriate material, the judge said, adding that Trump will not suffer any prejudice as a result of the late disclosure.
