      Presence is possible just like campaigning is and hanging out at races. Which one should go first when one is facing multiple trials?

      Do you practice law in federal court? Not trying to be an asshole, I’m really asking.

      I’ve worked misdemeanors and felonies in a trial court and in both instances, remote appearances were allowed except when the party is testifying. Frankly it sounds fucking ridiculous that they would be forced to show up for anything but trial considering how unlikely it is that Trump does time before sentencing.

      You probably shouldn’t commit crimes in multiple venues if you don’t want to travel to them for court.

      It’s totally gymnastics.

      For one this isn’t even her argument for pushing the court case back.

      But keep doing those backflips.
