Judge Merchan made sure to let the jurors know who is in charge of the sham trial.
Per Paul Ingrassia: Judge Merchan tells the jurors that “nothing the lawyers said is evidence” and “nothing said during the summations is evidence.”
Merchan: You and you alone are the judges of the facts of this case.
Merchan: I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR EXPLAINING THE LAW, NOT THE LAWYERS. YOUR SWORN DUTY AS JURORS IS TO FOLLOW MY INSTRUCTIONS ON THE LAW, AS YOU PROMISED ME THAT YOU WOULD.
Alvin Bragg’s prosecutors fumed after Trump’s lawyer Todd Blanche said Trump shouldn’t be sent to prison over a non-crime.
Judge Merchan became irate that Todd Blanche made a quip about Bragg’s prosecutors wanting to sentence Trump to prison.
Coming from the same guy who has repeatedly threatened to put Trump in jail for gag order violations.
Judge Merchan screamed at Todd Blanche at the top of his lungs: “YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER THAN TO MAKE A STATEMENT LIKE THAT IN MY COURTROOM!”

BREAKING: Let me get this straight: so it’s fine for Merchan to threaten to toss Trump in jail every single day for violating his ridiculous gag order, but when Blanche makes reference to Trump going to jail, he enters into a nervous meltdown, admonishes Blanche, and screams at the top of his lungs “YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER THAN TO MAKE A STATEMENT LIKE THAT IN MY COURTROOM!”

I’m waiting for Merchan to instruct the jurors to find Trump guilty, or they will be found in contempt of court.
I mean he’s actually right. Statements by lawyers are not evidence. And the lawyer shouldn’t have talked about the possible punishment to the jury.
That being said, if this is remotely accurate - and it’s GP so I have my doubts - he handled it...poorly.
He’s a bad, bad, man!
A bad Orange Man.
There’s no crime, crime, crime
But he must do the time, time, time
A thousand years at least
A threat, threat, threat
De Niro told us so!
(the real essence of the prosecution’s argument)
I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR EXPLAINING THE LAW
Then do your freaking job !
Unprofessional and unhinged, buckling under the pressure to get a convection at any cost. Easy to taunt and full of hubris and he's reckless.
Trump's attorneys should double down and really piss him off.
Third-World-Soviet-Show-Trial BUMP
I see a military tribunal in Merchan’s near future. 😏
I’ve been following Andy Guillani, and I don’t see where the judge screamed.
More GP BS.
Freisler was also a member of the Communist Party before he became a NSDAP "beefsteak Nazi" (a term used to describe the sturmabteilung brownshirts who were "red on the inside, brown on the outside"). Two different socialist teams.
All judges are lawyers with political connections. Merchan, like Freisler, has become a Party enforcer in a robe.
Which why Judge Merchan did not allow the proceeding to be televised.
Someone definitely has pictures of Judge Merchan with a dead girl or a live boy
Effing Colombian immigrant piece of 💩!! He needs to be deported back to Columbia! Why the hell do we let these pieces of 💩 communist bastards have critical life-changing legal positions in our country?! Can somebody explain it to me. We need to take our country back people. I don’t know how but these bastards need to be humbled!
Trigger the judge? Yes, I was thinking the same thing. At every turn use some trigger word or phrase, carefully appropriate elsewhere, and let the judge act out. Create the pattern of a biased and unhinged judge. This judge would be so easy to toy with.
> This Judge’s antics will make overturning a conviction a cinch <
In a fair world, yes. But the majority of the NY appellate judges are probably like this guy. Gotta get Trump one way or the other.
He is worse than Freisler. Freisler was just an evil cog in an evil system.
We have a potentially good system. But the thoroughly evil and corrupt Merchan has engaged in a real effort to render it just as evil and corrupt as he is.
This article is written by an 8th grader. Vital information is missing. If there is no evidence of the unhinged yelling it goes in the (routine) file of fake news for this group.
Prosecution is giving their closing arguments now. Every objection by the defense has been overruled by this Co0mmunist. No big surprise there.
This judge should be forced to dress like a kangaroo whenever he is presiding.
This corrupt judge is already counting the money he will make doing a book, interviews, speeches etc. as the man who railroaded and stopped Donald Trump. It may not all happen as he wishes.
