Fun vacation picture, Asha. I got a vicarious pleasure out of your friend’s fiftieth birthday wish come to life and have many fun memories of Epcot, some quite recent, and all with no children! 😂 It’s truly for all ages and something for everyone. Thank you to you, Renato and your brilliant guests for helping us understand the legal angles for the times we’re living in. Great work.
This was a crazy good episode, Prof Rangappa. It answered many of my questions on how this cell data was allowed as evidence. I'm not clear on whether getting a subpoena requires going to a judge. And also curious what the standard is to get a subpoena in this case..... Probable Cause? Other? If it is probable cause it seems unlikely that Trump could show sufficient evidence for a Judge to agree to authorize a subpoena of cell data way back to 2019. Smells more like a fishing expedition. Finally, there is sometimes "fine print" from companies which states that they will keep your info private....it sounds like this data can still be subpoenaed even in a civil setting. Glad you enjoyed your trip. Cheers!
Lovely photo. But I was glad to hear how sensibly you shared the drinks so not too much damage could be done. Thanks to you and Renato for attempting to clarify the muddy slog these cases have become.
"conduct alleged to involve official acts during his tenure in office"
Have been trying to figure out what this means but not sure about my progress. To allege something is to assert a fact or condition which is yet unproven. I think the statement is saying that the acts are not yet certain to be "official" until they are proven to be so. This leads to he conclusion they are *unofficial acts* until proven otherwise.
They dont seem to be willing to decide whether the acts are official or not official. I dont understand why they can judge immunity based on the alleged (unproven) quality of the acts.
For those that are bummed about the Supreme Court's decision to hear the Trump immunity claim on their "expedited" schedule, consider reading my recent article. It may help:
Listened to episode 64 last night; great humor all around, Renato’s dad jokes are always hilarious. I might need to listen to the segment on the 4th another time; it’s a topic I’ve been wondering about for over ten years now:
I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve been the subject of [unlawful] searches, dating back to 2013 when I caught a powerful democrat politician creeping around my house in the middle of the night with cellphone tracking tech.
Scary stuff. I sat on it for a while, didn’t even tell my wife until I decided to try to contact the local ACLU attorney. That didn’t go over too well and the ACLU attorney ended up tipping the perp—just led to more [spying].
Things really turned upside down when I contacted the DOJ about it—like, off-the-charts psychology [warfare]…Ultimately led to being run out of town and divorce and more [spying].
Just last summer I received text messages from someone claiming to be you!
I would send a text every morning, “good morning, beautiful❤️“ until one day when I simply forgot to.
Hopefully [they] enjoyed receiving the messages, and hopefully [they] were sad when they stopped
By the way, I forgot to thank you for sharing Pancake with us at the end of the Zoom. I’m missing Lucky Ting, so some cat love was appreciated.

Asha, since when is a trial a “referendum”?
