It is reasonably common, especially when dealing with elderly people or people who can make a somewhat reasonable argument for being too busy to spend a day in court.
There is not really a significant difference. I prefer deposing a witness in person, but you can do it through Zoom. Many depositions proceed by video as a result of the pandemic.
It is these days. It’s a lot easier to read credibility if the video gets played. Long pauses are more poignant. It also, mostly, keeps the lawyer nonsense under control.
I’m old enough to remember when his lawyer went to Mueller to tell him he couldn’t testify because he would look like “a goddamn dumbbell” in the eyes of world leaders, should his testimony ever get out.
I’m not a lawyer, but I think there’s a chance he may be able to weasel out of an in person deposition with written answers to those questions. I really hope they sit his ass down in a chair in front of a microphone though.
I forsee Mar-A-Lago to have a really bad internet connection so that you can barely tell who is in front of the camera or what they are saying.. It wont be Trump but someone else in a Trump mask answering like a lawyer with a whole lot of I dont remember, I cant recall, etc...
"... a judge in the Bronx ordered.". It will be years of appeals before this takes place. And should it ever happen, the answer can legitimately be to take the 5th Amendment and answer nothing to every question. This is theatre.
Gee it's almost as though the shithead is still trying to foment an insurrection, and it's relevant to still report on him so he doesn't pull another attack from behind.
The sub users upvote what is interesting to them, and watching Trump fail on live television while not being president is very interesting to those of us who paid attention to the last several years.
If Hillary had been actively trying to overturn a fair election and been under multiple investigations from both state and federal authorities, then it would be fair of us to still be talking about her every day. Trump could have slunk back to Mar-a-Lago and laid low after the election, but he insists on having attention on him. Pair that with his refusal to admit defeat under any circumstances, and this is where we are now.
As a reminder, this subreddit
I hope they make him read something out loud again.
"Man, person, camera, hamberder"
"Uhhh, I can't read without my glasses"
[удалено]
Trump googling "can you have covid twice"
Bone spurs acting up.
Do bone spurs count?
Somebody's about to emigrate to Saudi Arabia.
$20 says there will be something about him having to wear glasses and not wanting to appear in public wearing glasses
And then the judge going, "oh, ok. Nevermind then."
So what are the pros/cons of a videotaped deposition as opposed to live testimony? Is this a common practice?
Trump can't keep from perjuring himself in live testimony. Came up in the first impeachment.
Yes, a very common practice. Almost universal with depositions I believe. And technically he's under oath as well I'm pretty sure.

Generally you depose people to get their story on record so then you can poke holes in it during live testimony.

I hope the lighting is terrible
This is shallow.
Is he allowed a Teleprompter?
He’ll have an earpiece with someone whispering the words he needs to recite. You don’t really expect him to freestyle ?
So what happens when he blows this off, or sends a lawyer to answer all the questions for him?
Then he will have committed contempt of court.

Can members of the public observe?
How many times in these depositions is Trump going to talk about how he really won the 2020 election.
This ought to be good, popcorn and one's favorite beverage freely provided for the event.
I will believe it when it happens.
Right? I've seen this headline before.
I hope they tell him to pack his eyeglasses.

Person,woman,yo semite,camera,tv
I mean, he's just gonna take the 5th
Or pull the Reagan ploy of "I don't remember".

Yes, they want the person who instigated the insurrection to be disposed for theater 🙄

Yeah. It would have been nice if he'd just fucked off quietly, wouldn't it?
Did you make this account just to complain about trump posts in politics?
