Judge Juan Merchan gagged President Trump and his lawyers, but doesn’t gag Micheal Cohen or the prosecution. Merchan doesn’t care that the prosecution hasn’t actually shown a crime that segues to a supposed bookkeeping violation.
The judge won’t allow an expert defense witness who would testify that there was clearly no campaign finance violation that would allow the prosecution to go back to the supposed hush money expenses.
The judge doesn’t care that state courts have no jurisdiction over federal election laws.
The judge doesn’t care how much Cohen lies on the stand. He doesn’t even care that Cohen is an admitted thief.
But, this same judge gets extremely mad when a defense witness bucks the tyranny and fails to properly bow; from Yahoo News:
Defense witness who angered the judge in Trump’s hush money trial will return to the stand
A defense witness in Donald Trump’s hush money case whom the judge threatened to remove from the trial over his behavior will return to the stand Tuesday as the trial nears its end.
Trump’s lawyers are hoping Robert Costello’s testimony will help undermine the credibility of a key prosecution witness, Trump fixer-turned-foe Michael Cohen.
But Costello angered Judge Juan Merchan on Monday by making comments under his breath, rolling his eyes and calling the whole exercise ‘ridiculous,’ prompting the judge to briefly kick reporters out of the courtroom to admonish him.
The judge told Costello, a former federal prosecutor, he was being ‘contemptuous,’ adding, ‘If you try to stare me down one more time, I will remove you from the stand,’ according to a court transcript.

RE: Possible date with stormy?

The Mexican “judge” goes loco on one of the best known attorneys in NY.
Guess he’s feeling the heat. Might end up missing that big payday if he lets Costello talk.
Destruction? The author must not be paying attention. This will be a career enhancement among progressives.
The difference between the political left and right is that the left believe that the end justifies the mean.
They don’t care about anything except the agenda
"Judge" Merchandise is doing wrong, he knows that he's doing wrong, he willfully chooses to do wrong, and he is showing clear evidence of a guilty conscience.
He doesn’t care if his reputation is ruined. Leftists
sometimes happily turn themselves into sacrificial lambs.
Besides, he’s probably got a huge bank account.
Exactly so.
In Nazi Germany:
People’s Court judge Roland Freisler didn’t allow the Defendant to actually have any defense.
Why waste time with things that didn’t matter?
So, here we are.

He is lefty Dem and politics are their God or at least religion, they put lefty poltics above all else, not facts nor truth . He will be celebrated by other lefties
Blind irrational hate.
He has been guaranteed a lucrative position, just like any other traitorous Arshole.
CNN primetime. Madcow hands under the table. Sorry upfront.

All for the cause. He earns his radical points cred for cocktail parties.
Merchan will be set for life after trials delays..
And in reality, the means always determine the end.
