If your son has apprehension, keep him facing away from me when we’re taking the photo,” Dana Friedman tells the mother placing her wriggly 2-year-old onto his lap. The crying begins on contact. “That’s okay!” Friedman booms, his Santa voice at its full tenor, as he returns the child to his mother. “Take a photo of just the two of you!” He pretends to walk away, but actually sneaks back around the bench to stand behind them. It works almost instantly — the child calms, Santa smiles. Moment captured, everyone is happy.

…

Friedman, a 63-year-old civil-litigation lawyer, is a stout guy with a bushy white beard that he starts growing out every summer because it takes him six months to reach Santa realism. He’s a lifelong New Yorker who was raised in Borough Park. He’s Jewish, so didn’t have much to do with Santa until his secretary suggested, in the months after 9/11, that dressing as Santa might be a way to give back to the families of first responders. A natural performer, Friedman found that he enjoyed the role, and even went to a Santa class to learn the basics. Now he juggles over 100 bookings per season alongside his actual job — I watch him as he fields multiple work calls over the course of the day (“Hey I’m doing Santa stuff, I’ll call you later”). Friedman is now part of what he calls a “whole brotherhood” of Santas-for-hire, including his friend Stanley Taub, another Jewish Santa out in California, who he says has “impeccable suits.” (He tells me that there are “more Jewish Santas than you would think.”)

Dallas Observer: November 21-27, 2013 Night & Day

howdy, dana. how you? texas is miserably hot. ADVICE SOUGHT: A staff editor at NY Times — Bonnie Wertheim — recently wrote about Jackie Kennedy's pink suit she wore in Dallas. Bonnie said the suit is Chanel. It's already been confirmed that the suit was a knockoff — not Chanel. [link below] Bonnie's recent article got picked up by my paper in Dallas and elsewhere. I totally understand that newspapers — especially the NY Times — are understaffed. I hit up Bonnie for an informal clarification via LinkedIn. No response. Since I've published a book that's includes a reference to the suit being knockoff, I kinda want this fact to not get janky…. Before i formally contact Bonnie, I wondered if you may happen to suggest a more elegant way to proceed… that's all. two links coming. First is Bonnie's article. Second article is from CNN stating it's a knockoff …. Thanks, Dana … for anything and everything.

4:04am

Hey Danny: I know Texas summer hot. It's rough. You know, when I read that piece and saw the Chanel namecheck I was surprised, because Mrs. Kennedy officially wasn't allowed to wear French couture, except during the French state visit. She did at times--her sister would sneak it over and they'd rip out the tags--but I believe you are right regarding the pink suit. Not 100 percent positive, but think so. SO: I would write that to Bonnie: Dear Bonnie, I so enjoyed your piece, but was surprised to read that the sadly famous pink suit is Chanel; I have researched this greatly, and was led to believe it was a knock-off, as it much reported. (Then attach that link.). Do you have evidence to the contrary? I would like to know, as I have published the knock-off story myself in a book. Many thanks, DK. THEN, cc Vanessa Friedman, the fashion director who probably assigned and edited the story: vanessa.friedman@nytimes.com. Either you'll get a response that proves its Chanel and you have to write a correction, or they will publish a correction. Voila! Stay in the AirCon! xoxo Ha, yes, and thank you for your own attention to detail. Jackie's pink suit was an authorized line-for-line copy of a Chanel design, made at Chez Ninon -- so, not a knockoff and for all intents and purposes a Chanel suit. On Wed, Jul 18, 2018 at 1:55 PM, Daniel Kusner wrote: Thanks, Bonnie, In a time when a message like "I really don’t care. Do you?” seems so needlessly confusing, I admire the attention to detail over the pink suit. Which — at the very least — was concerned with being Made in America… Hey, what a springboard for an editorial idea. Thanks DANIEL KUSNER kusner@me.com | 214-499-0926 danielkusner.com On Jul 18, 2018, at 12:35 PM, Wertheim, Bonnie wrote: Thank you for this, Daniel. My wording came from Jackie's handwritten list, which says "pink + navy Chanel suit," though the authenticity of the suit has definitely been debated. I'll talk about this with my editor. Glad you reached out.

LIVE: Trump and Co-Conspirators CORNERED by Federal and State Prosecutors | Legal AF JULY 19,2023

VIDEO 1hr. 51 min. "Michael Popok and Karen Friedman Agnifilo, discuss: 1. Jack Smith’s special prosecutor’s sending Trump’s lawyers a “target letter” outlining new crimes against him and inviting him to testify to the DC grand jury, as a precursor to an indictment surrender, arrest and arraignment Number 3 for Trump, in the coming days; 2. Updates in the Mar a Lago criminal case against Trump, including the Judge considering when in 2024 to set the trial and her ruling on a motion for protective order filed by the DOJ; 3. the Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel not waiting for the feds any longer, and indicting 16 Michigan republican party operatives and leaders for state crimes for their serving as “fake electors” to keep Trump in power, with jail time of up to 100 years cumulatively for each crime charged; 4. A federal judge denying as “frivolous” (and therefore, sanctionable), Trump’s motion for new trial and/or to set aside the jury’s findings and verdict, and reduce the jury’s award in the E Jean Carroll sexual abuse, and defamation case; 5. another federal judge issuing his opinion denying Trump’s efforts to delay his Stormy Daniels-hush money coverup criminal trial in NY State court and keeping the case in State court and on track for the scheduled March 2024 trial date, and so much more."

Podignuta je optužnica protiv Donalda Trumpa. Evo što slijedi i može li bivši američki predsjednik završiti u zatvoru

  Velika porota na Manhattanu podigla je optužnicu protiv Donalda Trumpa nakon istrage o tajnom novcu isplaćenom pornozvijezdi Stormy Daniels, čime je postao prvi bivši predsjednik SAD-a koji se suočio s kaznenim optužbama iako je najavio da će se ponovno kandidirati za Bijelu kuću     Konkretne optužbe još nisu poznate jer je optužnica zapečaćena. CNN je u četvrtak izvijestio da se Trump suočava s više od 30 točaka optužnice povezanih s poslovnom prijevarom. Trump je rekao da je 'potpuno nevin' i nagovijestio da neće odustati od predsjedničke utrke 2024. Optužio je tužitelja Alvina Bragga, demokrata, da pokušava umanjiti njegove šanse za ponovnu pobjedu protiv demokratskog predsjednika Joea Bidena. 'Ovo je politički progon i miješanje u izbore na najvišoj razini u povijesti', rekao je u izjavi. Događaji na kojima se temelji optužnica protiv Trumpa u New Yorku - isplate tajnog novca pornozvijezdi koja tvrdi da je imala seksualni odnos s njim - zbili su se prije gotovo sedam godina. Ali bilo kakvo potencijalno suđenje udaljeno je više od godinu dana, rekli su pravni stručnjaci, povećavajući mogućnost da bi se bivši američki predsjednik mogao suočiti s porotom u sudnici na Manhattanu tijekom ili čak nakon predsjedničke kampanje 2024., dok se nastoji vratiti u Bijelu kuću. Velika porota izglasala je optužnicu protiv Trumpa nakon mjeseci saslušavanja dokaza o isplati 130.000 dolara pornozvijezdi Stormy Daniels u posljednjim danima predizborne kampanje 2016. Novac je bio namijenjen kupnji njezine šutnje o seksualnom odnosu za koji kaže da su imali godinama prije. Pravni analitičari kažu kako je vjerojatno da će Trump biti procesuiran za krivotvorenje poslovne dokumentacije pod optužbom za skrivanje prave prirode isplata. Trump je odbacio njezine tvrdnje, a njegov odvjetnik optužio je Daniels, čije je pravo ime Stephanie Clifford, za iznudu. Trump, prvi bivši predsjednik SAD-a koji se suočava s kaznenim progonom, u vodstvu je pred potencijalnim suparnicima za republikansku nominaciju, pokazuju ankete, uključujući guvernera Floride Rona DeSantisa, za kojeg se očekuje da će se kandidirati za Bijelu kuću. U prva tri tromjesečja 2022. za prosječni kazneni postupak na Manhattanu trebalo je više od 900 dana da prijeđe od optužnice do prvostupanjske presude, prema podacima državnog odjela za kaznenopravne službe – a Trumpov slučaj daleko je od tipičnog. To bi moglo pogurati bilo koje suđenje nakon dana izbora u studenom 2024., iako bi suđenje novoizabranom predsjedniku ili predsjedniku za državne optužbe ušlo u neistražene pravne vode. Da bude izabran, ne bi imao ovlasti sam sebi dati oprost. 'Ovo je toliko bez presedana da mi je teško reći', rekla je Karen Friedman Agnifilo, bivša glavna pomoćnica okružnog tužitelja na Manhattanu, na pitanje ranije ovog mjeseca hoće li sudac izvesti Trumpa na suđenje neposredno prije izbora. Slučaj u New Yorku jedan je od nekoliko u čijem je središtu Trump, uključujući istragu upletanja u izbore u Georgiji i dvije federalne istrage o njegovoj ulozi u napadu na američki Kapitol 6. siječnja 2021., u kojemu su sudjelovali njegovi pristaše koji su pokušavali poništiti rezultate izbora u studenom 2020. na kojima je poražen. Druga istraga odnosi se na njegovo zadržavanje povjerljivih dokumenata nakon što je napustio Bijelu kuću.

Osporavanje slučaja

U svojoj ranoj karijeri u području nekretnina, kao televizijska slavna osoba, a zatim i u politici, Trump je koristio agresivne protunapade i taktike odgode kada bi se suočio s pravnim izazovima. Trump je optužio okružnog tužitelja Manhattana Alvina Bragga, izabranog demokrata, da mu je bio meta radi političke koristi i mogao bi pokušati tražiti odbacivanje optužbi na toj osnovi. Trump će vjerojatno slijediti i druge načine, od kojih bi neki mogli predstavljati trnovita pravna pitanja za čije rješavanje treba vremena. Trumpov bivši osobni odvjetnik Michael Cohen rekao je da je koordinirao s Trumpom isplate Daniels i drugoj ženi, bivšoj Playboyevoj manekenki Karen McDougal, koja je također rekla da je imala seksualni odnos s njim, što je Trump negirao.     Dok je bio predsjednik, Trump je nadoknadio Cohenu isplate Daniels, a savezni tužitelji koji su optužili Cohena rekli su u sudskim dokumentima da su isplate lažno evidentirane kao pravne usluge. Krivotvorenje poslovne dokumentacije - optužba za koju pravni analitičari kažu da je najvjerojatnija - obično je prekršaj. Kako bi ga se moglo optužiti za kazneno djelo, tužitelji moraju dokazati da je Trump krivotvorio podatke radi prikrivanja drugoga kaznenog djela. Jedna je mogućnost, prema New York Timesu, da bi tužitelji mogli ustvrditi da je samom isplatom prekršen državni zakon o financiranju kampanje jer je zapravo bila nezakonita tajna donacija za poticanje njegove kampanje. Ali korištenje državnog izbornog zakona na takav način - i u slučaju koji uključuje saveznog, a ne državnog kandidata - neprovjerena je pravna teorija, rekli su pravni stručnjaci, a Trumpovi odvjetnici sigurno će je osporiti. 'Postoji čitav niz mogućnosti', rekao je David Shapiro, bivši FBI-jev agent i tužitelj te predavač na John Jay College of Criminal Justice u New Yorku, prije nego što je objavljena vijest o optužnici. 'Ovo je slučaj iz snova za odvjetnike.'

Otisci prstiju i snimka

Prema Braggovu glasnogovorniku, tužitelji i Trumpov pravni tim pregovaraju o datumu predaje kada bi Trump morao otputovati iz svojeg doma na Floridi do ureda okružnog tužitelja u New Yorku kako bi mu se uzeli otisci prstiju i fotografirali ga. Trump bi se zatim prvi put pojavio na sudu, gdje bi bio službeno optužen. Vjerojatno će mu biti dopušteno da se vrati kući nakon toga, kažu stručnjaci. New York Times i NBC News izvijestili su da se očekuje da će se Trump predati sljedeći tjedan, pozivajući se na njegove odvjetnike. Ako Trump iz nekog razloga odluči ne doći dobrovoljno, tužitelji bi mogli tražiti njegovo izručenje s Floride. Ironično, DeSantis bi obično kao guverner morao službeno odobriti zahtjev za izručenje. U objavi na Twitteru u četvrtak, DeSantis je rekao da neće pomoći u bilo kakvom zahtjevu za izručenje, nazivajući optužnicu politički motiviranom. Međutim floridski pravni stručnjaci rekli su da je uloga guvernera u procesu strogo administrativna i postavili pitanje može li DeSantis zakonito odbiti takav zahtjev. Bude li potrebno, kažu stručnjaci, ured okružnog tužitelja na Manhattanu također bi se mogao obratiti sudu kako bi osigurao Trumpovo pojavljivanje u New Yorku.

Ide li Trump u zatvor ako bude i proglašen krivim na suđenju?

Nemojmo trčati pred rudo. Nije mu još ni suđeno, a kamoli da je osuđen. 'Ne očekujem da će Trump završiti u pritvoru ako bude optužen za bilo koju od ovih optužbi. Bio bi zatvoren samo ako bi bio i osuđen na zatvorsku kaznu', rekao je Hasen. Ideja da bi Trump ikada mogao vidjeti unutrašnjost zatvorske ćelije i dalje se čini potpuno nategnutom. Hasen je rekao da će tajna služba morati osigurati njegovu zaštitu u zatvoru. Teško je i zamisliti kako bi se to ostvarilo jer takvog slučaja nije dosad nije bilo. Bi li agenti bili smješteni u zatvorske ćelije pored njegove? Bi li bili obučeni kao zatvorenici ili čuvari? Najviši dužnosnici optuženi za nedjela povijesno su izbjegavali pritvaranje. Bivši predsjednik Richard Nixon dobio je preventivno pomilovanje od svog nasljednika Geralda Forda. Prethodni Nixonov potpredsjednik, Spiro Agnew, dao je ostavku nakon što je bio upleten u korupcijski skandal. Agnew je sklopio sporazum o priznanju krivnje i izbjegao zatvorsku kaznu. Aaron Burr, također bivši potpredsjednik, za dlaku je izbjegao osudu za izdaju. Ali onda je napustio zemlju.
