Merchan to sf's lawyer: "You're losing all credibility."

1. there is literally no loss there.

[Hugin]

2. It's okay, "Team Trump"(tm) wasn't using it anyway.

[spanone]

3. ...and these are the 'good' lawyers.

[PatSeg]

10. Well, more likely

The only lawyers he could find willing to take him as a client. I can't imagine having Trump as a client, what a nightmare he must be.

[spanone]

17. Total nightmare

[Irish_Dem]

12. Can you imagine what the bad lawyers would have been like?

[spanone]

18. No kidding.

[Irish_Dem]

29. Speaking of Alina Habba, I miss her. Wish she was working on this trial.

It would have been better than any SNL skit.

[Wednesdays]

4. And we haven't even begun the FIRST full day of testimony.

Not a very good start for Team tRump!

[Botany]

13. Showing up late for the 1st day of the trial, threatening the judge's daughter, and trying to walk out of

…. court before the judge or jury had left the court room had him on a short leash from the get
go. Time for him to get some slap downs by the judge and send him to the lock up. The man has
needs to have his wig, skin paint, clothes, and freedom taken away from him and we all need to see
the pictures of what he really looks like. The man is hell on earth who was a big part of the 14
million dead from C-19 (real #).

[Irish_Dem]

26. Trump might look a normal person without the makeup and strange hair do.

Regular clothing.

Not looking like a bizarre clown.

5. more telling....

Judge wants to hear assertion under oath that Trump believed he wasn't violating gag order

Judge Juan Merchan said he wants to hear an assertion under oath that Donald Trump believed he wasn't violating the gag order when he made the posts in question.

Under oath. If trump says he wasn't in violation, then merchan can find he perjured himself. If he agrees he violated it, then he can just pass sentence. If he takes the fifth, the judge can still rule on the evidence.

[TheRickles]

8. Great maneuver by the judge.

[Irish_Dem]

14. How does the judge prove perjury?

Trump will just lie.

He may have an assistant type out the actual words when he texts?

[getagrip_already]

15. The judge is a finder of fact....

He just finds it as such. He isn't attaching penalties as in felonies, just establishing a finding of fact.

[Irish_Dem]

16. So the judge can listen to Trump and make a decision himself if Trump is telling the truth or not?

[getagrip_already]

20. Yes....

That is why he wears the robe.

[Irish_Dem]

21. Got it thanks.

Of course we don't need to wear a robe to know that Trump is lying.

We know that Trump and his attorneys have no credibility with the judge anymore.
He has come right out and said that.

[getagrip_already]

22. Yeah, lets hope the reason he is holding his opinion...

Is something dreamy, like he is having a cell prepared.

Hey, hope is something.

[Irish_Dem]

23. Telling the SS to pack their bags for a jail assignment.

[bearsfootball516]

6. Following the updates on CNN, the judge sounds like he's about to lower the hammer

He's not buying a single thing Trump's team is trying to sell.

[blogslug]

7. Yep, he said that

Trump's lawyer Blanche: Here's a post from Jesse Watters, saying the same thing -
Justice Merchan: Three hours after your client posted what he posted. Anything else?
Blanche: We are trying to comply with this gag order
Justice Merchan: You are losing credibility

9. How does one lose something they never had in the fist place?

[sop]

11. I am so f*****g tired of watching this psychopath blatantly thumb his nose at all authority.

And I am so f*****g tired of him getting away with it.

[triron]

19. Well there's stern words coming from the judge.

(Sarcasm)

[Irish_Dem]

27. Those stern words will certainly frighten Trump and his attorneys.

(More sarcasm)

[NBachers]

24. Alina Habba: "No one ever told ME I was losing credibility with the court!" (Hair flounce; duck lips)

[Irish_Dem]

28. I miss Alina. I wish she was the one talking to the judge in this trial.

Judge Merchan would lose his mind on the hour.

25. Ann Darrow to King Kong: "You're getting very hairy."
