Judge declares that he is not there to listen to what Trump had to say and then yelled at his attorney. Trump was testifying when the judge let it slip that he had no interest in his side of any story!
As a reminder, this is the same judge who found Trump guilty and then imposed fines in the hundreds of millions and revoked the business licenses of Donald, Donald Jr and Eric Trump... all before the trial started.
The fines and revoked licenses were appealed and overturned faster than you can say banana republic.
Trump’s personal attorney, Alina Habba, ranted against the judge overseeing the case while speaking to TV cameras outside court during the lunch break.
“I was told to sit down today. I was yelled at and I’ve had a judge, who is unhinged, slamming a table. Let me be very clear: I don’t tolerate that in my life. I’m not going to tolerate it here,” she said.
There will be many who will likely say Trump and his attorney are to blame here. But that misses the point. There is literally no reason why this should even had been a trial other than openly hostile politically partisan legal targeting. Pretty much every business "overstates" or "understates" values 365 days of the year. More to the point, the prosecution has yet to get the banks to make any admission that they were defrauded by the numbers or even used the numbers in question to make any banking decisions. They have also piggybacked the lame criminal charges that they already procured against the Trump executive (who plead guilty to some misdemeanors and got a wrist slap). Again that was for things that pretty much every company also did or things (like apartment managers giving Trump executives a break on rent) that were not really even in the control of Trump corporation.
So the prosecution and the judge want to have it both ways. They want to take a 100% partisan political case against Trump and then demand that it be treated as an actual real case during a trial (that seems somewhat unnecessary since the Judge already found the defendants guilty across the board). You started this political theatre. Don't pretend that it is anything but.

A prequel to 2024 -
A programming error with the county’s ES&S ExpressVote XL machines caused the names of two state Superior Court judges up for retention to switch places on the printed slip voters look over before submitting their ballots.
Voters were asked to vote "yes" or "no" whether Superior Court judges Jack Panella and Victor P. Stabile should be retained.
According to a spokesperson for ES&S, an employee mistakenly mislabeled the Superior Court races when determining how they would print out on paper backups, swapping Panella’s name with Stabile’s.
Someone who voted the same way in both races wouldn't notice a problem. But if a voter cast a “yes” vote for one of the judges, but…

The only way Biden goes down is if he goes down "hard". I mean, pretty much everyone would have to turn on him and declare him a criminal. Otherwise, most of the other nonsense has already been beaten. All the stuff he could be complicit in has passed the statute of limitations (unless there is some form of obstruction). So they have to gang up hard and just sort of make it obvious that everyone is against him. Otherwise, if he still keeps the support that he has from many, he will stay till the bitter end.
I still say Biden will have to make his own decision to step down and that would be tough for a lot of…
