Judge Juan Merchan gagged President Trump and his lawyers, but doesn’t gag Micheal Cohen or the prosecution. Merchan doesn’t care that the prosecution hasn’t actually shown a crime that segues to a supposed bookkeeping violation.
The judge won’t allow an expert defense witness who would testify that there was clearly no campaign finance violation that would allow the prosecution to go back to the supposed hush money expenses.
The judge doesn’t care that state courts have no jurisdiction over federal election laws.
The judge doesn’t care how much Cohen lies on the stand. He doesn’t even care that Cohen is an admitted thief.
But, this same judge gets extremely mad when a defense witness bucks the tyranny and fails to properly bow; from Yahoo News:
Defense witness who angered the judge in Trump’s hush money trial will return to the stand
A defense witness in Donald Trump’s hush money case whom the judge threatened to remove from the trial over his behavior will return to the stand Tuesday as the trial nears its end.
Trump’s lawyers are hoping Robert Costello’s testimony will help undermine the credibility of a key prosecution witness, Trump fixer-turned-foe Michael Cohen.
But Costello angered Judge Juan Merchan on Monday by making comments under his breath, rolling his eyes and calling the whole exercise ‘ridiculous,’ prompting the judge to briefly kick reporters out of the courtroom to admonish him.
The judge told Costello, a former federal prosecutor, he was being ‘contemptuous,’ adding, ‘If you try to stare me down one more time, I will remove you from the stand,’ according to a court transcript.
Merchan threatened Costello with contempt, all because he treats this sham of a trial like a joke;

Give me a break.
His daughter has made ~$90 Million so far from the Democrats on this farce. Figure after taxes that’s $45 Million, split in half, he has over $20 Million after taxes.
He never has to practice law again, work a day in his life, his daughter is set of for life. He has betrayed everything his life’s work stood for, but HE made a few bucks, and to liberals that’s all that matters.
He’ll get paid and he’s close to retirement.
yesterday he even tried to gag a a defense witness on the stand. And he denied another witness for trump the head of the Fair Political Practices Comm.
Obviously he’s going to get MILLIONS!
Hes all in. He doesnt care
follow the $ - he’ll get a big payoff a la Bernie Sanders new house.
But is he really destroying his reputation? Does anyone think a couple of the latest seated SC Justices wouldn’t handle things just about the same way?
Photos of the goat more likely. This is an IC trial. (Intelligence Community).
Chances are he is ‘doing’ the lamb and the IC (Intelligence Community) have pictures.
Cartel judge?
Once the jury comes back with a guilty verdict, Merchan will be a hero to the Democrats, even if Trump eventually wins on appeal. Maybe he will be appointed to a higher level judgeship.
*Blind irrational hate.*
Whether we admit it or not.. We have a mind that is swayed by what we hear and see. An open mind is the devil’s territory. And you can tell what controls these people.
And we can admit it or not.. Trump is God sent.. To save our nation.
They who hate Trump are so far away from God.. They live and never know what is forming their opinions.
Influenced by our surroundings. We can be so filled with knowledge of heavenly truths, the lies roll off our back.
I agree. They’re rotten to the core.
Why did. Nazis shoot Jews/rhetorical.
Like Biden - the corporate media, democrat party and liberal oligarchs will run cover and make a Merchan out to be a saint. He's a Manhattan judge for Pete's sake. His reputation amongst all libs will be enhanced by this trial. However, if he has aspirations outside outside of liberal la-la land - that could be a problem.
As I said above. He doesn’t care. This is about election interference. The entire objective is to allow the Democrats to say “Trump is a convicted felon” during the campaign. It does not matter if that verdict gets overturned on dozens of good grounds after the campaign. The objective will still have been met.
He’s a judge? He has a reputation?
BINGO!
Being compromised and suffering from TDS will do it...
Well, I guess that’s how they do it in Mexico.... (spit)
