"I think the witness was a little difficult to control” -- Judge Merchan

It is HIS courtroom and HIS responsibility to control it and control the witnesses. Why did he not stop her prejudicial, irrelevant and salacious testimony?

I believe Andrew McCarthy predicted they would do this when he appeared on Hugh Hewitt’s YT show yesterday.

Witness difficult to control?

Who’s doing the controlling?

Sounds like she was being coached.

Kinda illegal...................

Can we just do away with the BREAKING or BOMBSHELL nonsense? Just post the article as it is titled.

Nothing! The goal is to dirty up Trump and keep him off the campaign trail. That’s a win for democrats.

Juries are unpredictable in many ordinary cases, so this one it's not even possible to guess. But I think the Trump haters are getting something they want with this salacious testimony; but Trump is also getting something as well. Daniels spoke about lawyers handling the case for her, which confirms that the NDA was considered by all parties to be legal expenses. And that destroys the idea that the records were falsified.

Perhaps the Trump hating jurors will be satisfied that his reputation has been smeared even more, but can't find the needed elements of a crime. Then again, we won't know until they come back with a verdict.

It can’t be a mistrial, they’ve already decided Trump is guilty of something or another.

It’s still extraordinarily prejudicial to insert safety — safety concerns into a trial about business records.

ALL the Trump trials are only about constantly filling the airwaves with negative opinions of Trump. I don't believe its even about trying to secure "conviction"

It fits with the notion that all deep-state schemes are just based on manipulating public opinion and gas-lighting, reality and consequences be damned. Its how they rolled with Russia-gate, with Covid, with Ukraine, with the economy.

Blanche should demand to show some of Stormy’s films to let the jury know what a helpless victim she is.

“As a threshold matter, Mr. Blanche, I agree that there were things that would have been better left unsaid. I think the witness was a little difficult to control,” Judge Merchan said

OUR money was more effective. /s

The article leaves off the Merchan comment which follows which is particularly outrageous: After over-ruling defense objections to Stormy Daniels testifying at all (as irrelevant) and defining further objections that there is just no need for those kind of details, how she felt about it, as this “is a case about books and records”, Merchan chided the defense for not objecting more and claimed he hadn’t over-ruled their objections to various things coming in - despite clearly doing so.

This preserves it for appeal. The federal appeal courts are are gonna bitch slap Merchan if the state appeal courts don’t do it first.

That’s the only saving grace in this travesty show trial.

I hope he sues Bragg and the state of New York for malicious prosecution when he’s president and recruits a whole slate of maga candidates to flip the city and the state red.

That’s my fantasy and I’m sticking to it.
