Transcript excerpt of a sidebar at today’s #TrumpTrial proceedings

THE PEOPLE OF NY -vs- DONALD J. #TRUMP

JUDGE #MERCHAN: I understand that your client is upset at this point, but he is cursing audibly, & he is shaking his head visually & that's contemptuous.
It has the potential to #intimidate the #witness & the jury can see that.

DEFENSE ATTY TODD #BLANCHE: I will talk to him...

#TrumpFantasy

Donald #Trump, a day after being warned about potential #JailTime if he continues to #violate the #gagorder in his criminal #trial in New York, lashed out at the judge presiding over that case as “#crooked.”
“There is no #crime. I have a crooked judge. He’s a totally #conflicted judge,” Trump told his supporters at a Wisconsin rally Wednesday.

#Pecker has at least 3X described #MichaelCohen as warning him that “the boss” — meaning #Trump — would be “angry” if Pecker didn’t do whatever was being asked of him in that moment.

Prosecutors, who have focused on Trump’s tendency to #intimidate people in asking for a #GagOrder, know what they’re after in this line of questioning [#MobTactics #StochasticTerrorism].

#MichaelCohen, who was then #Trump's #fixer, would later set up a similarly named company, #EssentialConsultants, to #payoff #StormyDaniels.

Lots of evidence per the disguised monetary transactions related to the #KarenMcDougal deal. But most of the #jurors are still paying close attention, turning their heads from the prosecutor, Joshua #Steinglass, to the #witness, #Pecker, & back again.

I asked Joyce Vance & @katiephang to please update us on any arrests following the 100's of True threats to judges, prosecutors & their families made by people other that Trump.
Will the threats be linked to #Witnesstampering starting now? #TrumpTrial #GagOrder
#ThreatsOfViolence

Agreed. If not the pokey, then a fine commensurate w/his [purported] wealth.

After the #TrumpMedia / #TruthSocial #IPO it’s ~$6.4B

In the #fraud trial when he breached the #GagOrder, he was fined $5k. It had no effect.

That’s what an avg defendant would be fined. Per empower.com the avg NYer’s net worth is $651,131 (median: $59,404).

$5k is >1% of $651,131.

If #Trump’s net worth is $6.4B, he should be fined $51.2M

That might shut him up.

#Merchan tears apart #Trump’s arguments against #AlvinBragg’s request for the expanded #GagOrder:

“Defendant, in his opposition of April 1, 2024, desperately attempts to justify & explain away his #dangerous rhetoric by ‘turning the tables’ & blaming those he attacks [typical of Trump to #BlameTheVictim]. The arguments counsel makes are at best strained & at worst baseless misrepresentations which are uncorroborated & rely upon innuendo & exaggeration.

#law #StochasticTerrorism

Last night #JudgeEngoron got a bomb threat.

After the case is decided Engoron's #GagOrder ends.
What about while the case is on appeal?
Does the appellate judge need to set new pretrial conditions about Trump not threatening people?
#BombThreat #SWATTING

What if the 3 appellate judges in the immunity case get threats?
Last week #Maine Secretary of State #Bellows was #SWATTED then #JudgeChutkan

Glenn Kirschner says to protect the community Trump needs to be detained pending his trials.

#NYAG: "Your honor, we have nothing further at this time for this witness.”
(Thank goodness)

#Kise declined cross-examination at this time.

#Trump left the stand.

Trump's attys made post-trial arguments on motions they may make, such as #mistrial motions or challenging the expansion of the #GagOrder to the lawyers.

#Kise says that he may want to mention information potentially barred by the gag order on the lawyers in their mistrial motion.
