Thank you. A concise, clear summary. You have also brought to my attention three of the Federal Civil Cases of which not much is covered in the news (Blassingame v. Trump, Lee v. Trump, and Swalwell v. Trump), understandable since the coverage of all other cases takes so much attention.

Thank you for your exhaustive work and concise explanations. One point I'd make, the reason why Trump's tactic is delay, delay, delay, is because he's guilty, guilty, guilty.

Wow, Asha! I am impressed with your ability to answer a question I asked someone last night as they were watching commentary on the day's legal proceedings in t T**** world, so this scorecard is an amaziastonishingly rapid response to what many people obviously want and need. And I thought there were "only" four cases! THANK YOU for providing this breakdown! Unless one is paid to follow this circus, it is impossible to stay up to date on the current legal morass that he is in. That's what he is hoping! It's all so confusing even to the most intelligent people, and so intricate, its a full time job otherwise. Who has time to do that, except journalists, bloggers, bored MAGA conspricy-theorists angry at the world instead of looking inward, and maybe some retirees with political or civic interests. This digest is PERFECT because you are trustworthy and fair. My credo is never to lie, even if just for the practical / logical sense that once you do, you have lost your credibility to those of us engaged with the real world. And rightly so because once someone falls for one lie, it makes them vulnerable for an avalanche as we have seen with T****. Thank goodness for the justice system!

Asha, you are the best (I would say bomb but perhaps too loaded). Thank you for sorting out this mess for us. And now I have a new source for fun reading—Just Security.

Well done! My concern is that everyone has known that Trumps strategy has been to delay, delay and delay until time runs out. So far, he is winning. Why are the courts allowing this to happen?

Thanks for providing more clarity to Trump’s woes! Hopefully, most cases will be tried before November 2024‼️

Oh, thank you thank you thank you for your logically organized, thorough and detailed explanation(s), and timeline(s) of Trump charges, indictments, counts, cases, and courts, here, there, and everywhere, civil, criminal, wheelings, dealings, appealings, motions, emotions, shocks, blocks, and hard knocks. Your great idea and all your effort and hard work, I greatly appreciate. Despite all never ending threatening things Trump, finally, some headache pain relief.

This is fantastic, thanks so much - I had forgotten all about a couple of these! Seriously, what normal person would consider running for with all these indictments? Asked and answered, I suppose....

Thank goodness! I thought it was tough before - now there's multiple cases at one time with varied ways of dealing with what's happening and what's coming down the pike. Lol 💖😁☕️

I continue to wonder: if Trump is innocent, as he claims, wouldn’t he want to get these trials settled quickly so he could move on? The fact that he keeps delaying shouts, “GUILTY” from the rooftops.

I’m a great believer in cause/effect. I am definitely interested in the Jan 6 case, however the NY vs Trump case is my focal point. The extensive fraud in that case is, imo, so over the top that it deserves greater scrutiny. Trump’s financial empire was enabled by more than the bevy of sycophants surrounding him. Jan 6th, or his Presidency, would never have occurred without key individuals within government turning a blind eye for decades. Trump is the bright shining object but his origin and enablers, imo, are the real story. We ignore this at our own peril.
