Judge warns Trump lawyer is 'losing all credibility' during gag order hearing
#Trump #Trial #Politics
Always with the endless verbal warnings. It is not working.
I think with the emotional heat, Merchan was about to throw the book, about as literally as well as figuratively. Let him cool down before he passes punishment. It would be bad if Merchan passed a punishment on emotion that Trump could easily appeal.
It's called election interference. You know like the White House is a nursing home for Biden.
@rude1527, not what the DOJ said.
@@rude1527 How's your gold shoes and the devil's bible working out? 🤪🤪🤪
@@rude1527 It's funnier how you made that up, 'cos (1) Biden wasn't accused of the same crimes, and (2) that's not what the DOJ said at all. O, ya Maggot.
🤣 like the courts and justice system have any credibility now?
why,cause they're prosecuting a sad guilty bigoted wannabe pr3z???
😂🤣🤣😂
No they're all hacks Judge doesn't give a gag order to Michael Cohen or Stormy Daniels only to Donald Trump I thought they're supposed to be fair and balanced here? The judge could probably work at CNN
And MSNBC🤣
In this case, absolutely. Not to members of the cult whose leader is on trial, but that’s to be expected.
MSNBC: please stop with the obnoxious app ad at the end of every video.
It indeed makes it look like an advertisement for a children's show; considering the long-winded & dumb verbage they use, they assume we are kids.

There have been multiple people on the far right begging for one Trumper to lie their way onto the jury to deliver a hung verdict.

I think its funny how the democrat donating judge and the democrat prosecutor thinks a jurisdiction in NYC that voted 95% democrat in the last election is going to have a fair jury trial against a republican presidential candidate.
Let me guess, you have no problem with an inexperienced judge appointed by Trump presiding over his classified documents case in Florida. Also, Republican voters knew about all the charges Trump was facing when they voted for him to be the nominee.
The crimes happened in NYC.
@@Dwayne-mb2ujthere was no crime. Also, gag orders are to hide something. Gag orders should be unconstitutional. This is all political persecution.
@@zerothehero2494bank fraud is a crime they do t care if they were paid back you lied on that application!! Case closed!
Politics isn’t on trial. Criminal actions are on trial. Jury instructions are specific and for twelve jurors to go subjective as a group is more than a stretch. Trump belly aches over how the law should not apply to him. Yet America is rule based on laws. How can Trump recognize that he breaks the laws, claiming immunity, and his followers, believing his every word, believe he committed no crime. Fantasy and delusion is the MAGA agenda.
When will he get ANY consequences?? That's the million dollar question?? 🤑🤑🤑🤔🤦
This will happen at the same time everyone else is held accountable. The DNC and Hillary Clinton Campaign Organization for purchasing the "Steele Dossier", the FBI, for their willingness to push forward the narrative of that document when they KNEW it to be false, the issuance of KNOWN to be illegal FISA warrants, the conglomeration of CNN, MSNBC, CBS and yes Fox also, for their "interpretation" of actual occurrences, the continuous two-tiered "justice" system to name just a few. Fifty-one former "intelligence agents" state "Hunters Laptop has all the earmarks of Russian disinformation," the "experts weren't wrong, THEY LIED! (there IS a difference) There still has been NO investigation into who supplied pallets of bricks to the "Peaceful Protestors" in numerous cities during "The Summer of Love". There still has been no censure of Schmuck Schumer for threatening two Supreme Court Justices BY NAME (one of which was lucky enough to have an armed individual arrested outside his home, (addresses "leaked" by unknowns), and nothing ever said about Maxine Waters advocating for the harassment of Cabinet Members in public. How far can that "million dollar question" go? These are just a few! The cows have been running loose in the barn for WAY TOO LONG, and the amount of fertilizer to be cleaned up is immense!
So if not jail time, what actual penalty are you seeking
$10K in fines. It's a total joke. 30 days in jail would be more appropriate.
Yes, it's got to be something uncomfortable for him to stop.
Its a smear campaign and election interference. Same ol boring story. Orange man bad.
Who are we kidding? None of this would be happening if he weren't running for president, or were running as a Democrat.
@@EsausLastbreath That might actually affect the orange makeup.

Contempt of 1st Amendment right? Odd?
Contempt of fighting for your rights? Does this judge have credibility? Only with the clowns of this network
@@ClassicFIHD Contempt of court for violating the rules of the court. It’s not rocket science. Or maybe it is to Trump cultists.
Legitimate ‘fight for your rights’ statement: I’m innocent and that fact will be shown in the evidence. Contempt: “the [court officer, family member, juror etc] is anti-ME!” (With no concrete or substantiated proof) Subtext- I want my followers to take action!
@@ClassicFIHD it's not a 1st amendment violation for courts to prevent ppl from talking about cases or attacking staff and family members. courts issue gag orders on cases all the time.
The only thing losing credibility these days is our court system.
If there's no jail time for him, he is not going to stop. This is ridiculous that he isn't going to jail him.

Exactly
If you want to end all these ridiculous games, the judge just needs to say, "Defendant, stand up. You are being taken into custody for the remainder of the day." Cuff him and walk him out the room. The tone will change and the games will be over.
A day or two should suffice. Exactly.
Throwing a president with secret service in jail this is all a joke you people are pathetic.

Non Disclosure Agreements are totally legal.
Actually, your honor, I feel like it’s you who is losing credibility. The guy has violated the order multiple times and you’ve done nothing about it.
Maybe because it would be constitutionally challenged on the 1st Amendment.
This is literally the first hearing about it.
I trust the judge on this. He got through the jury selection quickly and seems to know what he's doing. He has to think about making Trump a martyr, physically keeping him from campaigning when court isn't in session and having the verdict in his court hold up through appeals. It's disgusting to see Trump continue to get away with stuff anybody else would be jailed for, but it's not as simple as throw him in jail.
Exactly. Tired of these cowardly judges.
Vote President Trump 🇺🇸
Paula Jones Say it slow So it hurts
Conservative Tears Flowing. And that's all the Sheep have ? What about Paula Jones. Bill Clinton never met Paula Jones.
Sounds like mistrial words ...a judge saying the defense is "loosing credibility" to the Jurors 🤦
The jurors weren't there. Try to keep up. And the word you're looking for is "losing".
How many times is he going to be allowed to spit on the face of the court and get away with it! A gag order for Trump is a mere “pretty please would you?” For anyone else a court order is the first and only warning and if any of us breaks it would be spending the rest of the trail behind bars!
😂 cry harder ❄️
unless and until he goes to jail, he's going to continue to attack everyone. This should signal to everyone that he's guilty as the day is long.
they can't just throw him in jail, as a former president, he is entitled to Secret Service protection. The logistics of protecting Trump in prison are next to impossible. Especially in a state facility. and the crime itself is non-violent and he won't get jail time for that reason. so get real 😆
Ironic, coming from courts that are widely seen as clown-filled circuses.
Widely? 🤨yeah no.
"No credibility" is something this judge knows well.
If that's what he said. Why can't we hear HIM say it? 🤔

“Getting tough on Trump’s lawyers.” Hahaha. This judge has made private statements declaring his disdain for trump.
