Donald Trump has been in a New York court today to defend himself against charges of longtime financial fraud, but during a recess in the proceedings, he targeted the judge hearing his case with a livid, deluded eight-minute rant.
… He ruled we lost a big part of the case because he’s a Democrat club politician. He’s a Democrat operative. And he’s a disgrace to people that call themself judges. And I hope my lawyers go in, and I hope they fight him very hard. ‘Cause this guy’s getting away with murder. And his clerk should not be allowed to be in his ear on every single question. You take a look at what’s happening with her. She hates Trump more than he does. […]
This is a judge that should be disbarred. This is a judge that should be out of office. This is a judge that some people say could be charged criminally for what he's doing. He’s interfering with an election, and it's a disgrace.
Referring to Judge Arthur Engoron, who will decide the financial penalties that Trump might owe, Trump repeatedly referred to him as a “rogue judge,” an “operative,” and a “disgrace.”
At other points in the rant, he snarled that the attorney general overseeing the case, New York’s Letitia James, is “a corrupt person, a terrible person driving people out of New York,” and said that “people” saw this “egregious trial, this horrible, horrible trial going off, while at the same time people are being murdered outside on the streets and nothing happens to those people that do the murdering.”
As usual, Trump’s speech was laced with apparent threats aimed at his judge.
And somebody has to fight because if you don't fight, our country is just gonna go down the tubes. This is election interference. This guy's a highly partisan person, and we can't let this stuff happen.
Members of Trump’s base have regularly taken this “fight” language as permission to mount harassment campaigns and death threats against Trump’s enemies of the moment, whether they be public figures or private citizens.
“I’ve been going through a witch hunt for years, so this is really now getting dirty between Jack Smith and between all of these DOJ people helping them along. This is a pure witch hunt for purposes of interfering with the elections of the United States of America,” Trump falsely claimed before storming off. "It’s totally illegal. This judge should be disbarred. He shouldn’t be allowed to be a judge.”
The facts are not in dispute, the crazy fraudulent way the trumpet is used to do bussiness is not a secret, he himself said ‘Im very smart’ when asked about not paying taxes. Hillaryous!
I don’t care, and I’m not here to argue your worthless opinion. There MUST be a trial, because that’s everyone’s right. No one is above the law… well, except for the corrupt establishment that finds ways around law.
He did get a trial. Not all trials have juries. His lawyer filled out paperwork saying a bench trial was acceptable. This is all legit.
A summary judgment isn’t a trial. You can pull this bs on your fellow teenagers, not on adults.
“This is all legit” doesn’t cut it. The judge can’t make a decision without a lawyer defending his case. This is your kind of bullshit. The teenager kind.
I’m in my 30s.
^ did you read that part?
Your brain is a teenager’s brain if you’re really not lying. You probably believe CNN, don’t you?
I read, but Trump, regardless of how much you hate him, has the right to have a jury of his peers + full trial with witnesses on the matter. Especially on a matter that’s really controversial. This is corruption attempted to destroy him, nothing else. I’m not stupid to believe any of this is done in good faith.
He did have that right. He entrusted his representation to a lawyer. The lawyer waived that right.
It’s not the judge’s fault, nor the plaintiff’s, nor the DOJ’s. It’s Trump’s fault for trusting inept counsel.
The only “corruption” I see here is a conman trying to con the justice system.
The lawyer didn’t waive shit. Don’t make stuff up.

In the event of a civil war, the states that suffer the worst losses from starvation are probably going to be the poorer, landlocked states that run a deficit year after year.
Those would be primarily the red states.
Yes, of course… because we know that SF is all about making food.
I guess we’ll see.
thats one dumb talking point son, weak and dumb just like the orange traitor, and I didn’t express any opinion he’s said all those dumb things, and his injury lawyers are exactly what he deserves cause the other ones are indicted in Ga., them walls are creeping in and his desperate grimace outside court is GOLD! not to mention the MAGA tears.
Nice barking. Now back to your cage.
Dogs bark, and the people continue their lives.
