  1. 24:00 -- Trump does these things not because he is a terrible person. He is banking on the chance that there will be a Republican president again in two years time who would stop any and all federal cases against him. His strategy is delay, delay, delay, delay, until the opponent gives up, runs out of money, or is stopped in another way.

  2. I love how pleading the 5th in a civil case can be used to infer culpability. And it makes sense. Questions in a civil case are usually about things you should have done according to certain rules, and the court wants to establish if you acted according to the rules or not. If you can't explain your actions without incriminating yourself, obviously you did not act according to the rules. It is not relevant what actual criminal acts you committed, but how much your actions defrauded the claimant. In lieu of a full explanation by the defendant, the court can and will estimate those damages. Criminal cases are usually about things you definitely should not have been doing. However, it is up to the Prosecution to prove that you actually did a specific crime. When pleading the 5th it is not obvious that it is because you actually did that specific crime, or another, unrelated crime of which the Prosecution still knows nothing. I.e. it is possible the question would uncover a new crime. So in lieu of a full confession by the defendant, the court can not infer which specific crime defendant committed without additional evidence.
