Justice Engoron, in a plea to Trump’s attorney, Chris Kise, implored, “Mr. Kise, please control your client.” However, the attempt to rein in Trump proved futile as he continued his tirade, even bringing up the prosecutor’s alleged political motives, including what he called her “failed” run for Governor.
Should have charged him with contempt.
I’m not going to pretend that this is some grand strategy by Trump. He’s an immature man-child and that’s all there is to it.
But there most certainly is a strategy by his lawyers.
If their client somehow manages to make the judge “lose their cool” its fuel for an appeal/mistrial. So they really have no interest in ACTUALLY controlling his outbursts.
Isn’t it typical for a lawyer to be held in contempt for not following court rules? Will there be contempt proceedings near the end of the trial?
I’ve never heard of a judge doing such a thing at the end or after a trial, but it would be priceless to see the judge run down the laundry list of actions taken or not taken by the attorneys that they would be receiving fines for.
Sounds like someone needed some Baby Shark and a snack. Poor kid.
He should have been arrested, cuffed, and hauled off to be locked up like anyone else.
Instead everyone will continue to coddle him, emboldening his jackass followers as if this course is somehow favorable to consequences.
Why is this a thing?? I don’t get it. It’s so stupid. Anybody else would get their ass handed back to them but he’s the exception for some reason I can’t fathom. Like, even if he has a lot of followers, so what?
In this case, to give absolutely zero room for mistrial complaints that the judge was biased against him.
And guess what? He has zero room for complaints. The judge has handled this pretty much perfectly.
to give absolutely zero room for mistrial complaints
My man standing up on the desk, pulling down his pants, shitting all over the place, then waddling out with his pants around his ankles and the judge turns to the bailiff saying “No no no, let him do his thing, I don’t want to risk a mistrial”.
He has zero room for complaints.
He’s been indicted 91 times since he left office and we’ve yet to see any of them resolve into some kind of legal punishment. Everything is supposedly coming to a head between March and May of this year, but… In the middle of a heated election season, I’m not holding my breath on that shit getting deferred or extended or whatever.
And then if he makes it to November and wins (hardly unlikely, given the direction of the current polling) he’s back to being Unitary Executive and immune to prosecution. And then we’ll get four more years. And if the country doesn’t collapse on itself after that, we get to restart the whole process and hope another four years of pretending to indict a former President now pushing into his mid-80s will mean anything.
Guy is going to die of poor health long before he sees the inside of a jail cell. The US justice system simply is not built to punish people like him.
How did that dirtbag Roger Stone say it (but about people that, unlike donnie, didn’t do anything)?
It’s donnie’s turn in the barrel.
I hope they slap him with contempt again.
At this point I’d be happy if they just like literally slap him.

What do you mean by “libtard”? Sounds like it might be offensive to some.
Your votes do… That does way more fucking damage than some stupid posts you could easily ignore…
But also, as a “conservative” I have to imagine you care about the “marketplace of ideas” and “freedom of speech” or is that only for you and your kind?

Yeah, I, with 0 posts, am going to ruin the lives of libtards.
Well, if your first comment is anything to go by you’re a fucking idiot.
Liberals live in your head rent-free and that’s pathetic.

It’s the Opposite actually. Trump lives in Libtards head rent free.
Ah, the “I know you are, but what am I?” defense. You sure got me.
You’re a petulant child just like your dear leader.
sounds like baby needs a nap, or a good spanking… maybe a fresh diaper…
So, he accused everyone else of being him and then shuffled out like Grandpa Boomboom
Damn did my ex-girlfriend write this headline?
Definitely the actions of an innocent man. Lmao he’s such a loser, and sore one at that. Hopefully they bleed his criminal organization dry with the verdict
Does someone have a link to the video ?
Ya got me.
There are no cameras allowed in the court, tis only caricatures.
Wow, he really handed their asses on a plate in that video.
What a man child lol

Sooo… a pretty standard Thursday then?
You know when you are playing Phoenix Wright and you have the antagonist in the corner and they blow up near the end…
He should have negotiated this like how he said he would’ve done to prevent the civil war.
He did.
