Senator #JDVance, Eric Trump, Boris Ephsteyn, his legal adviser; Alina Habba, one of the lawyers from his civil fraud trial; US House Rep #NicoleMalliotakis; Senator #TommyTuberville; & the #Iowa & #Alabama attorneys general.
This is the biggest entourage we’ve seen him with so far.
He must be scared.
Members of Trump's entourage have been live-posting from court. Eric Trump, posted about Cohen's testimony: "I have never seen anything more rehearsed!"
Senator #JDVance of #Ohio, who is in contention to be Trump's running mate, posted that it's "absurd" to criticize Trump for falling asleep in court. Vance writes: "I'm 39 years old & I've been here for 26 minutes & I'm about to fall asleep"
Kaitlan Collins asks bash-the-protesters Sen. J.D. Vance,
"So you agree that people who break in and vandalize the building should be prosecuted?”
Vance replies, “Exactly.”
Collins then says,
"I’m just checking because you did help raise money for people who did so on January 6, which was impeding an official proceeding, breaking into a building that they weren’t allowed to be in and vandalizing the Capitol."
"Russia's one path to victory in Ukraine leads through minds and mouths in Washington, DC. Russian and Chinese propaganda therefore celebrates the inability of Congress to pass aid for Ukraine, and praises those who hinder the passage of such a bill. But the specific propaganda memes that China spreads (and some American leaders repeat) about the war are of Russian origin."
"Russia is the leader in this field; China is imitating Russian techniques and Russian tropes. …
Insofar as legislators such as Marjorie Taylor Greene and J.D. Vance are vectors of propaganda, they are themselves playing a part of the Russian (or Russo-Chinese) operation."
"As such they are not merely spreading fictions; they are also modelling a 'Russian' style of government, a politics of impotence, in which big lies are normal, corruption is thought to be routine, and nothing gets done. Russian lies about Ukraine are meant to prevent action to help Ukraine; but in a larger sense they are also meant to spread the view that those in power are incapable of any positive action at all."

"It's absurd to think the sun rises in the east, and sets in the west!" ~#JDVance, probably
It's offensive that this clown, who's paid by the American people, thinks so little of the people he allegedly serves that he believes this is a reasonable statement that they'll just accept without a second thought.
It's plain to anyone who hasn't been captured by the #TrumpCult that Trump's head is deep up Putin's ass. He clearly admires the Russian tyrant.
Former #hillbilly author turned senator, #JDVance, has rendered his judgement that #Trump's convictions don't count because he's being prosecuted by blue state prosecutors, and judged by blue state juries. Boy, it's a good thing we've got this politically motivated non-lawyer to tell us all what's what!
Senator Vance stated that Ukraine should end the war and give land to Putin.
You can spot all the Putin-owned assets in our government quite easily.
If Russia wins, it will control 27 percent of world grain exports, approaching twice the size of the EU, which in second place collectively exports 16 percent of the world’s grain market. Not a good plan.
#JDVance is blocking DOJ nominations because he believes that Donald #Trump should be above the rule of law.
Acyn:
JD Vance blocks the nominations of the US Attorneys for the Northern District of Ohio and the Northern District of Illinois because he says the DOJ is trying to throw Trump in prison and we’re living in a banana republic
