Over/Under on Fifth Amendment claims: 300

And now the fun begins: starting next Wednesday, the Trumps will start taking the stand before Judge Arthur Engoron next week in the New York State fraud trial in which the Trumps could face penalties in the $250 million range.

Don, Jr. will take the stand first, on Wednesday, November 1st, with Eric and Ivanka set to round out the week on Thursday and Friday, respectively. Then it’s Monday when the Big–and when I say big, I mean obese–Cheese Doodle Himself takes the stand.
