Trump (R) (Bragg/Merchan): “Trump hush-money-trial jury gets its charges from judge and begins deliberations” [Associated Press]. ” Jury deliberations in Donald Trump ‘s criminal hush money trial began Wednesday after the panel received instructions from the judge on the law governing the case and what they can take into account in evaluating the former president’s guilt or innocence…. Nearest jurors left the court docket to start out deliberations, Pass judgement on Juan M. Merchan informed Donald Trump and his legal professionals that they had been required to stay within the courthouse. ‘You cannot leave the building. We need you to be able to get here quickly if we do receive a note,’ Merchan mentioned.”
Lambert right here: There’s a lot residue to safe in constituent so, very unfairly, I gained’t be capable of take a look at the Prosecutions 4 age summation in any respect. In a doomed attempt at taking keep watch over, I’ll lookd at Pass judgement on Merchan’s directions to the jury (they ran from 10:16am to 11:28am) on refer to problems: Industry information falsification, and FECA, election interference, with reporting taken from 4 reside blogs: Related Press, Lawfare, Jonathan Turley, and Inside Town Press; my idea was once to pick out 4 resources to develop a type of quatro-nocular seeing of information and interpretation, however they’re multi functional approach or every other radically truncated! (There are lots of extra problems — like Cohen as an companion, accessorial legal responsibility, and “limiting instructions” — however those are the problems that appear salient to me. Prison practitioners are detached to indicate other subjects and approaches!)
Election interference
Related Press
Merchan went over Untouched York’s legislation in opposition to “conspiracy to promote or prevent election,” a statute that’s impressive to the case. That’s as a result of prosecutors declare that Trump falsified industry information to deliver to safe up alleged violations of the election conspiracy legislation. The alleged violations, prosecutors say, had been peace cash bills that actually amounted to unlawful marketing campaign contributions.
Beneath Untouched York legislation, it’s a misdemeanor for 2 or extra crowd to conspire to advertise or prohibit a candidate’s election “by unlawful means” if no less than one of the most conspirators takes motion to hold out the plot.
The legislation additionally calls for {that a} defendant have the intent unlawfully to prohibit or advertise the candidate’s election — no longer simply {that a} defendant is aware of concerning the conspiracy or be provide when it’s mentioned.
Within the protection’s ultimate argument Tuesday, Trump lawyer Todd Blanche prompt jurors to disown prosecutors’ election conspiracy assertions, insisting that “every campaign in this country is a conspiracy to promote a candidate.”
That is the one side of Merchan’s directions that AP covers in constituent (!).

Word [1]. Learn footnote 9, within the pink field, in moderation. Indisputably the Biden Management/Marketing campaign’s suppression of the Hunter Biden pc tale honest prior to election 2020 would qualify. So would the 2016 Clinton marketing campaign’s investment, IIRC thru Democrat election integrity legal professional Marc Elias, the Steele Document (due to this fact impaired to aid the fraudelant submitting to the FISA courtroom that enabled the organs of order safety to ingest the Trump marketing campaign. But the ones offenses had been by no means charged. Ordinary.
Lambert right here: Holy moley, the artwork of reside running a blog is useless. Everybody provide within the courtroom choices out a couple of facets of the case (even though Lawfare has gotten a booklet of the proposed directions; refuse suspicion their flex-net was once analyzing them in moderation). I believe, alternatively, that it is a consequence no longer of technical incompetence however the scope, complexity, and deviousness of the prosecutions case (which, once more, took 4 hours to give an explanation for). Probably, once in a while within the alike hour, I will remove on my yellow waders and create extra sense of all this [lambert hangs head in shame].

Trump (R) (Bragg/Merchan): “The Cat Is Out of the Bragg” [Andrew McCarthy, National Review]. On Bragg’s FECA subject matter: “It is impossible to draw any conclusion other than that Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg knew that, as a state prosecutor, his enforcement of federal law would be incredibly controversial since he has no such authority; the federal agencies that do have such authority investigated Trump and opted not to prosecute; and to get this prosecution done, Bragg is simply making up his own version of federal law. Bragg had the collusion of Judge Merchan, who allowed the state to get away with not putting the “other crime” within the indictment, and unwanted protection makes an attempt to pressure him to handover particular disclosure pretrial. Prosecutors concealed within the elevated grass till summation and at the moment are emphatically describing Trump as having blatantly violated federal marketing campaign legislation.” • Slightly honest. Prosecution sandbagging the protection has been something that has made this situation so complicated (and via design, I’m positive. I don’t assume it’s a twist of fate that explanation comes from the bench, no longer the prosecution; it’s virtually as though they’re running in combination).
Trump (R) (Bragg/Merchan): “Was D.A. Bragg Right to Bring the New York Charges Against Trump?” [Lawfare]. “Weighing this evidence in the context of the many civil frauds Trump has been adjudicated to have committed, and the many crimes of which his closely held corporation and most essential business colleagues, Weisselberg and Michael Cohen, have been convicted, I have been persuaded. District Attorney Bragg was right to bring this case.” • “A” case, most likely. However this situation? Bragg has opened the door in order legal fees for fraud in opposition to practitioners of habitual marketing campaign techniques!
Trump (R) (Bragg/Merchan: “Elise Stefanik Demands Investigation into Assignment of Judge Merchan to Trump Case” [National Review]. But even so the moral violation of Merchan’s society probably benefiting from the case, for the reason that his daughter is a Democrat consulant, Stefanik makes this level: “‘If justices were indeed being randomly assigned in the Criminal Term, the probability of two specific criminal cases being assigned to the same justice is quite low, and the probability of three specific criminal cases being assigned to the same justice is infinitesimally small. And yet, we see Acting Justice Merchan on all three cases,’ the complaint reads. ‘The simple answer to why Acting Justice Merchan has been assigned to these cases would seem to be that whoever made the assignment intentionally selected Acting Justice Merchan to handle them to increase the chance that Donald Trump, the Trump Organization, and Steven Bannon would ultimately be convicted,’ the complaint adds.” • Hmm.

Maskstravaganza
“The Risk of Aircraft-Acquired SARS-CoV-2 Transmission during Commercial Flights: A Systematic Review” [International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health]. PRISMA-based systematic assessment. N = 50. From the Dialogue: “flight duration strongly predicts case incidence. We also found that when masking is unenforced, each additional hour of flight duration is associated with 1.53-fold increase in the transmission incidence rate ratio. We speculate that short flights may be safer due to a shorter total duration of exposure to aerosol particles. Also, short flights often do not serve meals, so fewer aerosol particles and droplets are expelled. Interestingly, our findings also suggest that aircraft-acquired transmission is not inevitable if masking is strictly enforced. On long haul-type flights where enforced masking took place and meals were served, there were no reported aircraft-acquired cases during contact tracing and follow-up. Enforced masking may have encouraged passengers to eat as quickly as possible on these long flights. Furthermore, airline staff can actually enforce masking, similar to how staff are able to enforce safety checks such as correct table-up and seat up-and-back positions by walking down the aisles, checking each seat, and correcting behaviors during take-off and landing…. Beyond our formal analysis, we observed as a point of interest that the proximity to the index case(s) was not the best predictor of aircraft-acquired transmission [i.e., droplet dogma is a crock, if further evidence were needed]. For example, on a 2 h flight, one passenger seated five rows away acquired COVID; on a 5 h flight, a passenger seated six rows away acquired COVID; and on a 7.5 h flight and a 10 h flight, four passengers and one passenger who sat greater than 2 m (6 ft) away acquired COVID, respectively…. Flight policies regarding masking based on travel duration may become important for air travel safety in future epidemics or pandemics, particularly before effective vaccines or medications are made available.” • However what about my sovereignty to contaminate innocents via respiring a pathogen into shared wind?
Discharged Dysregulation
Various immunological dysregulation, persistent irritation, and old erythropoiesis in lengthy COVID sufferers with persistent fatigue syndrome” [Journal of Autoimmunity]. From the Summary: “A substantial number of patients recovering from acute SARS-CoV-2 infection present serious lingering symptoms, often referred to as long COVID (LC). However, a subset of these patients exhibits the most debilitating symptoms characterized by ongoing myalgic encephalomyelitis or chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS). We specifically identified and studied ME/CFS patients from two independent LC cohorts, at least 12 months post the onset of acute disease, and compared them to the recovered group (R). ME/CFS patients had relatively increased neutrophils and monocytes but reduced lymphocytes. Selective T cell exhaustion with reduced naïve but increased terminal effector T cells was observed in these patients…. Intriguingly, we found that the frequency of 2B4+CD160+ and TIM3+CD160+ CD8+ T cells completely separated LC patients from the [Recovered (R)] group.” • Hat tip, Anthony J. Leonardi?
“Gene Regulatory Network Analysis of Post-Mortem Lungs Unveils Novel Insights into COVID-19 Pathogenesis” [Viruses].

Variants: H5N1
“Technical Update: Summary Analysis of the Genetic Sequence of a Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza A(H5N1) Virus Identified in a Human in Michigan” [CDC]. From Would possibly 24: “The genome of the human virus from Michigan did not have the PB2 E627K change detected in the virus from the Texas case, but had one notable change (PB2 M631L) compared to the Texas case that is known to be associated with viral adaptation to mammalian hosts, and which has been detected in 99% of dairy cow sequences but only sporadically in birds. This change has been identified as resulting in enhancement of virus replication and disease severity in mice during studies with avian influenza A(H10N7) viruses. The remainder of the genome of A/Michigan/90/2024 was closely related to sequences detected in infected dairy cows and strongly suggests direct cow-to-human transmission. Further, there are no markers known to be associated with influenza antiviral resistance found in the virus sequences from the Michigan specimen and the virus is very closely related to two existing HPAI A(H5N1) candidate vaccine viruses that are already available to manufacturers, and which could be used to make vaccine if needed. Overall, the genetic analysis of the HPAI A(H5N1) virus detected in a human in Michigan supports CDC’s conclusion that the human health risk currently remains low.” • Remark:

“Severe Avian Influenza A H5N1 Clade 2.3.4.4b Virus Infection in a Human with Continuation of SARS-CoV-2 Viral RNAs” [Transboundary and Emerging Diseases]. Case file from China. From the Dialogue: “We report a human case infection with the clade 2.3.4.4b avian influenza A H5N1 virus. This patient was an old female farmer with multiple comorbidities. The patient was also SARS-CoV-2 positive after having COVID-19 on December 20, 2022. Our study provides insights into the significance of surveillance for increased risk of H5N1 viruses infection among people with post-COVID-19 condition…. Prior infection with SARS-CoV-2 might lead to the patient in a non-full competent immune state, which might play a role in increasing her susceptibility to avian influenza virus…. In the post-COVID-19 pandemic era, sporadic human cases with avian influenza A H5N1 virus are possible to occur, especially among the population who professional or occasional contact with birds or poultry. Active surveillance of individuals following a high-risk exposure to the virus without any PPE protection is strongly recommended.” • Sounds the dairy farms must be performing some trying out…..

Those working in Disney’s costume departments are the second least happy with their jobs. They have the lowest approval of the Disney CEO and how Disney is currently managed. The study revealed that on average working in the costume department scored 23.91 out of 100 for working at Disney. Scoring 28.67 out of 100, construction workers are the third least happy when working with Disney; they are the least likely to see themselves working with Disney for a long time.

“The oldest tree in the world: Meet ‘Methuselah,’ a literal hidden gem” [USA Today]. “According to Guinness World Records, the oldest tree species in the world are the bristlecone pines, found in the White Mountains in California. Their scientific name is ‘Pinus Longaeva.’ The world’s oldest living tree is ‘Methuselah.’ The tree’s exact age is unknown, but experts believe it has been alive for close to 5,000 years, the U.S. Forest Service told USA TODAY in an email. Dendrochronologist Edmund Schulman found and named the tree in 1957. This bristlecone pine is named after a biblical figure who legend says lived over 900 years. Before that, a geographer in 1964 cut down another ancient tree, dubbed ‘Prometheus,’ with permission from the Forest Service. It wasn’t until after the tree was cut down that they realized it was an estimated 4,900 years old. Bristlecone pines are known to scientists as ‘extremeophiles‘ because they are slow-growing and can endure harsh environmental conditions, including cold temperatures, high winds, dry soils and short growing seasons, according to the USDA. They also have adapted to use ‘sectored architecture,’ which means their roots only feed the part of the tree above them. When one root dies, only that section dies. The rest of the tree keeps growing around the skeletal parts, according to the National Park Service. … Yes, Methuselah is alive as of May 2024. According to National Geographic, scientists believe this is the planet’s oldest single living thing. It’s in the Inyo National Forest between the Sierra Nevada range in California and the Nevada border. The U.S. Forest Service keeps its exact location under wraps to protect the tree from damage or vandalism, the department confirmed to USA TODAY in an email.”
