BREAKING: A Fuming Judge Merchan Runs Interference for Bragg, Shouts at Trump Defense Witness Robert Costello: GET OUT OF THE COURTROOM, NOW!
The Gateway Pundit ^ | 5/20/24 | Cristina Laila

President Trump was back in a Manhattan court on Monday in Alvin Bragg’s Soviet-style ‘hush money’ lawfare trial.

The prosecutors earlier Monday rolled out their ‘star witness’ Michael Cohen, a convicted perjurer, to take the witness stand.

Cohen shocked the public when he admitted he stole tens of thousands of dollars from Trump and lied to Trump Org. CFO Allen Weisselberg.

After the prosecution rested their case, Trump’s defense team called attorney Robert Costello to the witness stand.

I'm not an attorney, however I do wonder should not the New Yorkian Bar Assn inquire and opine on this?

Maybe American Bar Association?

Dunno, maybe some legal minds hereabouts can clear this up for me.

Do you know if Merchan has been every day telling the jury not to investigate online overnight, like he did today?

Trump just gets stronger


Instead of “Orange Man”, think Popeye. Our President should be referred to as “Spinach Man.”

This judge should be pulled from the case. How evil of him

Does NO court in the nation - not even the SCOTUS - have the ability to remove a sitting judge from a case? Seems like a huge hole in our judicial processes.

Costello knows better than to make noises such as heavy sighs or roll his eyes at Merchan’s rulings, especially while on the stand testifying.
This is now going to have the Cohen embezzlement admission take a backseat, with Costello’s theatrics now front and center.

There was a reason that some on the defense did not want to call Costello as a witness.

Not just pulled from the case but disbarred and removed from the bench altogether. He would fit right in with the judges in Columbia, Russia, China and all other corrupt, government controlled legal systems.

Turley AND Dershowitz were in the courtroom today supporting Trump. The legal profession is disgusted by this case, but Metchan doesn’t care. He will be WELL REWARDED for this scam.

You fight as hard as you can and hope that the court of appeals sees things your way.

One could argue that Trump has benefited greatly by this trial and upon conclusion, the pure gold generated in republican advertising will be devastating to the rat cause. Next week the muzzle on the Donald will be lifted as well.

Even leftist attorneys are shocked at how blatant the bias is by Judge Merchan. As someone on CNN said, there is more evidence of Cohen’s crimes than that of Trump. That was a big admission by someone on CNN.

Merchan: Are you staring me down right now?

Costello: I’m not.

Merchan: GET OUT OF THE COURTROOM, NOW! GET OUT OF THE COURTROOM!

Two year-olds are more mature than "Judge" Merchan.

Typical GP click-bait.

"That’s their goal ... keep Pres Trump off of the campaign trail ... and, make him spend even MORE money."

True but the poor fools don't realize that the court room is the campaign trail for Trump and they're giving it to him for free. Popcorn please.
