Happy Second Day of June, KlicKNettars! We've made it this far in 2024, and it's going to be a special month because we have a lot to celebrate, including the one-year anniversary of the Teen Comedy Film NickCam, directed by The Boss. Soon we'll begin plans on celebrating 10 years of this blog by giving KlicKNettars a blast from the past. But don't you worry, 'cause there'll be plenty of new stuff to go around, and it don't get any newer than a brand new 5-Day Rounder which contains the Biggest Headline of Them All.
For those who don't know already, the first teaser for Disney's Moana 2 came out this week across Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, the site formerly known as Twitter, and YouTube. The movie will features the lead stars from the first Moana film in 2016, AuliÊ»i Cravalho and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, but that's not all. The teaser trailer set a record for the biggest animated trailer launch in Disney history, receiving well over 178 million views in 24 hours, which surpasses Disney/Pixar’s Inside Out 2 (157 million views in 2023), Frozen 2 (116 million views in 2019), and The Incredibles 2 (113 million views in 2017). See what's in store for Moana 2 in our Sneak Peek of the Week before it hits theaters in November.
Our Inside Scoop this week is a major blockbuster, for the few past days the whole wide world has been talking Former US President Donald Trump, who made history a really big way once again. For over six weeks, Trump has had to deal with the New York Hush Money Trial, or for lamer terms, call it "The People of the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump." This criminal case was surrounded around Trump being charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to conceal payments made to pornographic film actress Stormy Daniels to ensure her silence about a sexual encounter between them. The lead prosecutor was Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who accused Trump of falsifying said records with the intent to commit other crimes such as: violation of federal campaign finance limits, unlawfully influencing the 2016 U.S. presidential election, and tax fraud. According to New York State Law: "Falsifying business records is a misdemeanor, but can become a felony if done to further another crime."
Well what do ya know, Trump got caught with a felony, and this past Thursday he was found GUILTY of all 34 charges, making him he first U.S. president to have been convicted of a felony in any state or federal court. To understand just how monumental this is, we're going to breakdown some of the most important facts that explain everything from last year to the six-week trial which took place. It all began on March 30, 2023 when Trump was indicted, something that would be a recurring theme for him for all of 2023 last year. The indictment was approved by a Manhattan grand jury, and then Trump would surrender to the Manhattan DA's office and be arraigned the next day. He pleaded not guilty and stated that he would continue to campaign for the 2024 presidential election, even if he were convicted.
The trial began on April 15 this year as the prosecution would call upon many witness, but the star witness in the New York case was Micheal Cohen, a former "fixer" and lawyer who worked for Trump when he was in the White House. Cohen testified for 17 hours in the span of four days, and on May 13 Cohen acknowledged that he, Trump and former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker, another witness called on by the prosecution, conspired to suppress negative stories and promote positive stories about Trump during the 2016 presidential election. Pecker had testified for four days in April as the trial's first witness; on April 23, he claimed that "Cohen used to feed him negative stories about Trump's enemies, and tha this staff would then "embellish" and show drafts to Cohen to get his feedback before publishing them." Pecker would go on to claim "how he offered to deploy the "catch and kill" scheme, which states that he offered in 2015 to suppress negative stories about Trump and flag efforts by women attempting to sell stories about him."
We can't forget about the person who's been heavily involved in this story which started back in 2016, Stormy Daniels. She testified for five hours on May 7, and on the morning of May 9, discussing how she first met Donald Trump in 2006, though we'll try not to get into all the details in her testimony. The reason why she accepted the hush money has been summed up in her own her words; Daniels stated that she wasn't motivated by money (something that contradicts a text message between Daniels and her manager Gina Rodriguez which suggested she was willing to accept the payment). She would even state that she had no part in the hush-money negotiations, which in my opinion, doesn't seem like the truth at all, but she did laid out key information about the payment. Daniels' testimony came with her previous allegation that someone threatened her in a Las Vegas parking lot, but she did not report it because it would have been upsetting to Trump, and that any violation of the hush-money agreement would have cost her a million dollars.
All of this brings us to the jury deliberations which began last Wednesday, and on the next at 5:07PM EST, the jury reached a verdict that they found the defendant, Donald J. Trump, GUILTY of all charges. If you seen the headlines that came last Friday, you know that this is a really bug deal, and some are happy that Trump has been convicted, those within the GOP and MAGA are not. Sentencing for Trump is scheduled for next month on July 11, that's days before the 2024 Republican National Convention where we will accept the GOP Nomination for President, though Trump has said he will appeal the ruling, but luck with that I'd say. Trump has called the trial a "disgrace" and nothing but a "rigged trial by a conflicted judge who was corrupt". The biggest takeaway from his statement was that November 5, Election Day, would be the date of his "real verdict by the people", it's hard to argue with this words and for onw reason. With the cases against him for Classified Documents, January 6, and Election Interference in Georgia, all more than likely pushed back to after the 2024 presidential election, the New York Hush Money Trial may or may not be enough to keep Trump from becoming president again. So it all comes down to the voters on November 5th have a really big chose. People can say what about our currently Commander-In-Chief Joe Biden, he may not be perfect himself, but at least he's not running as convicted felon this year.
