Judge Engoron ain't about to play patty-cake with the Trump mafia. He did not offer an invitation. He gave them an order: One that Eric and his attornies will have to comply with. Engoron knows how to play hardball.

own ass. Maybe even ivanka and Jr for good measure.
I can't see him doing time without at least trying.
