The judge set a Wednesday afternoon hearing on Trump's gag rule violations. The prosecution wants him held in contempt.
there is no question he clearly violated the gag order when he insulted the witnesses against him. the only question at this point is what will the judge do.
Any other defendant would get hammered by the judge. Orange guy is spayshul, so not holding my breath.
Trump's rejected bond from the porno funder traces back to the Cayman Islands where you hold funds if you don't want anyone to know about them. It looks like Trump set something up where a shady company could just default on it and tell NY to go to hell. Trump Bond’s Cayman Connection ‘Stinks to High Heaven’
He will have others do his dirty work re: social media posts about the judge and witnesses. Plenty of them out there with the lunatic Laura Loomer outpacing the rest right now.
maybe not to this judge. His comments today won't help at the contempt hearig New York judge says Trump can’t attend Supreme Court arguments on presidential immunity (msn.com) The attempts by Trump to take off certain days of his hush money trial that is expected to last weeks, if not months, came as the first day of trial was officially underway in Manhattan. The decision to not allow Trump to be in Washington, D.C., on April 25, when the Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments on a presidential immunity claim Trump is making in his federal criminal case, came just before the New York trial adjourned Monday. “Arguing before the Supreme Court is a big deal, and I can certainly appreciate why your client would want to be there, but a trial in New York Supreme Court … is also a big deal,” Judge Juan Merchan said to Trump lawyer Todd Blanche, rejecting his request to let the former president play hooky. “I will see him here next week,” the judge added. Under New York state law, Trump is required to attend the entirety of his trial unless he gets special permission from the judge to skip. ............ After court adjourned for the day, Trump suggested Merchan believes he is “superior” to the Supreme Court for preventing him from attending the high court’s oral arguments. The former president also accused Merchan of preventing him from attending his son Barron’s high school graduation in May. The judge declined to rule one way or another on the matter earlier Monday, but did not outright deny granting the former president the ability to attend the event. “I was looking forward to that graduation with his mother and father there,” Trump told reporters. “It looks like the judge isn’t going to allow me to escape this scam. It’s a scam trial.”
100% correct he does not think. Who does he think he/she is fooling coming here calling out a bunch of regulars when he has had an account all of 5 minutes. Any mod worth his salt would look into that.
