File under truly lame excuse: Trump counsel says they are not prepared for Jeff McConney- he is the Trump Org longtime controller and testified at the Trump Org trial- and discovery was provided about him long ago. Judge Merchan denies request to adjourn taking his testimony.

Wow, defense has lawyers prepared to cross examine folks on salacious stuff, but not the financial documents that the trial is about.

1. Wait a minute judge

we didn't prepare for this testimony so can you take him off the stand for now, we didn't realize how damning this stuff was.

NO!!!!!
Proceed counselor..

9. And the dog ate their homework!

The Trump family dog, since we all knew how much DJT loves dogs!

2. I believe this is push back for the correct decision by the court...

(IMHO) Not to release the witness order list to Team Trump(tm). Preventing the “softening up” of the witnesses off-line prior to their testimony.

3. More likely....

Tsf is blowing up at his lawyers and wants the afternoon to straighten them out.

This morning was a disaster for them. If they don't dismember poor old Santa, they won't stand a chance.

He took the anchor out of trumps locker, tied it around trumps neck, and tossed it over the side.

The jury can't possibly ignore it was trump in charge of those payments.

They have to find a way to destroy him. And his lawyers won't do what he wants.

5. I'm enjoying so much my mental picture that you painted with the anchor analogy. Thank you.

13. Anchor is probably less expensive than cement shoes.

16. As a former boat owner, who has left many an anchor at the bottom of Lake Conroe, go with the shoes!! lol

[Conjuay]

17. You've never owned a boat.

Anything that has the word "Marine" attached to it automatically triples the price.

15. These Lawyers with NYS licenses do not want to be DisBARed. Should of hired some Louisana lawyers of low repute

4. "Your Honor!" "Your Honor!"

"This witness is saying too much. We weren't expecting all of this testimony. You need to adjourn so we can try to figure out what to do. It's imperative."

Judge Merchan, "Sorry boys. You should have thought of that earlier and prepared. the prosecution may continue."

[riversedge]

6. Love it that the Judge is in charge--and Trump knows it!!!

[Traurigkeit]

12. Reminding it of its father, Fred

[struggle4progress]

7. "Who is this? The coffee boy? We didn't know the coffee boy would testify"

[MagickMuffin]

8. Crooked judge won't allow dismissal of testimony

I’m innocent I tells ya, court adjourned!

[nowforever]

10. Wait a second

We have no dirt on this person, please give us time to dig some up.

[Traurigkeit]

11. You get the defense you don't pay for

[3Hotdogs]

14. By now, every lia --- sorry lawyer in the country knows to get paid up front before hitting one keyboard key

in his service.
