State Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan cleared the courtroom Monday over a dramatic spat with the defense’s first main witness, Robert Costello, causing a period of mayhem at former President Donald Trump’s hush money trial.
Mr. Costello, a lawyer who once spoke to Trump lawyer-turned-accuser Michael Cohen, seemed to take exception to one of Judge Merchan’s objection rulings, uttering “Jeez,” and then sighing, “Strike it.”
“You don’t say ‘jeez.’ And you don’t say “strike it,’ because I’m the only one who strikes it,” Judge Merchan told Mr. Costello, an experienced attorney and prosecutor.
He also told him not to give him the “side eye” and, his voice rising, asked: “Are you staring me down right now?”
“Clear the courtroom!” Judge Merchan said.

“seemed to take exception to one of Judge Merchan’s objection rulings”
Does anyone know what this was about?
Tyrants don’t like resistance.
This judge needs to be removed.
In Nazi Germany, People’s Court judge Roland Freisler didn’t allow the Defendant to actually have any defense. Why waste time with things that didn’t matter?
And here we are.
They’ll put up with all sorts of excrement from the Left’s
witnesses, allowing anything sordid that doesn’t relate to
the issue at hand at all, but boy if a guy give the judge
a perceived sideward look, now that’s a capital offense.
This just must be related to Popeye’s friend Wimpie.
What a weak judge of just about anything.
Wonder what the jury thinks of the Judge “dictating” what is admissible.
The judge is clearly trying to destroy the witness’
credibility, so the jury will ignore what he has said.
This sounds like a teacher lecturing a ‘boisterous’ first grader. “Don’t you roll your eyes at me, young man!!”
Fani did everything butt Mooning her judge, yet she was not removed from the courtroom or from her case.
I hope this judge suffers Freisler’s fate.
What a clown show. Let the witnesses testify.
fk that foreigner !
What an evil madman. Anyone think he won’t overrule a hung jury or a not guilty verdict? LORD in Heaven, I ask that you overtake this entire matter, that You confound the enemy and bring forth the righteous in Christ Jesus. That Your will be done, no matter what! In Jesus Name, amen.
What a d0uche. Well, SOMEONE had to say it! ;)
Judge reveals he is a weak man. Can’t control his emotions lol.
He’s watching his multi-million dollar payoff melting away.
I’m loving how you bring up real-life events in Nazi Germany to ‘compare and contrast’ what is going on with President in Exile Trump and this CIRCUS!
Keep up the good work! :)
