    I'm calling BS on this idea.

    Our criminal justice system is so petrified of the "appearance" of political favoritism that it is actively engaged in political favoritism.

    The notion of "judicial flexibility" is a disguise for fear of doing the right thing in the face of political pressure.

    When you don't delay sentencing after a jury conviction solely because you wish to give the convicted felon a "fair" chance to win an election,

    THAT IS NAKED FAVORITISM AND PUTTING A FELON ABOVE THE LAW.

    Judges must stop normalizing criminality in the name of political fairness.

    Denial, Defiance, Dismissiveness. You might think the #NBC journalist is talking about #Trump: Denying he even knew #EJCarroll; Defying the rules in #JudgeMerchan's courtoom by gesticulating and muttering; Dismissing the results of the election!!! But you'd be wrong. Points for alliteration but that's about it.

  11. #Trump's 19th century #racism is in full effect following the end of his #hushMoneyTrial. He's now making overt references to where #JudgeMerchan "comes from" in his daily screeds against the judge, the court, and everyone who's doing their job and holding him accountable for his crimes. Even for Trump, this is uniquely disgraceful. Trump is a blight on our country, and a danger to the world. Don't vote for him.

  23. 👨🏻‍⚖️ #JudgeMerchan said he won’t tolerate #Trump ’s cursing and headshaking during Daniels’ testimony, transcript shows

    “I understand that your client is upset at this point but he is cursing audibly and he is shaking his head visually and that’s contemptuous,” Judge Juan Merchan said to Trump’s defense attorney #ToddBlanche during a mid morning break. “It has the potential to intimidate the witness and the jury can see that.”

    "Pecker says that before Trump ran for election and story came up, he would talk about what his family and Melania would think.

    But after Trump announced his candidacy, Pecker continues, he never mentioned anything how Melania or Ivanka or his family might react."
