      I agree that the courts are handling him with way too much deference. But, I think the reason is that these judges want a tight case and leave him no grounds for appeal.

      He’s got a gag order he’s broken. So we’ll have to see what happens.

        I totally agree. Merchan is not fucking around. He’s following the law to the letter and making reasonable concessions that would be made for anyone. He knows that Trump will appeal, and he’s careful not to provide any credible reason of mistrial.

        Now if we could only replace Cannon with an equally fair judge…

      He might fire his lawyers and demand a delay because new lawyers need time to get up to speed. It’s up to the judge to accept new lawyers though.
