January 1, Fuming NY Judge Clears Courtroom: Trump Trial Witness Misconduct Revealed
New York Judge Juan Merchan, overseeing former President Donald Trump’s business records trial, became furious with a witness on Monday. He reportedly called for the courtroom to be cleared. The witness, Robert Costello, former lawyer for Michael Cohen, was called to the stand by Trump’s defense team.
Costello’s frustrations grew as Merchan sustained several objections from prosecutors. After more objections were sustained, Costello began blowing “raspberries,” according to a news source.
Judge Merchan warned Costello, “You don’t say ‘jeez,’ and you don’t say ‘strike it,’ because I’m the only one who can strike … you don’t roll your eyes, do you understand that?” He then added, “Are you staring me down right now. Clear the courtroom please!”
After the courtroom had been cleared, Merchan took the time to “discuss proper decorum” with Costello. On May 15, Costello testified before the House Weaponization Committee. He claimed that Cohen had lied under oath and that Trump was not involved in payments made to adult entertainment star Stormy Daniels.
During the trial, Trump’s attorney Emil Bove called for Costello to be allowed to provide counter testimony to Cohen’s from the previous week. Cohen had previously testified that Costello had attempted to bribe him with a pardon in order to not incriminate Trump. While Merchan allowed Costello to provide testimony, the testimony was limited.

This out of control judge should be removed from the bench and charged for his wayward handling of his position as judge. He has broken the law and ethically committed suicide. He has ruined New York’s justice system and should be punished.

This New York judge needs to be disbarred! He has shown his contempt for Trump from the beginning! This witch hunt needs to stop the prosecution has had all criminals and liars for witnesses! There is nothing of truth from the prosecution and the evidence and the democrat so called judge!

I find it interesting that the prosecution was allowed to allow Daniels to give a blow by blow description of the supposed encounter, that Colen confessed to theft under oath on the stand in front of the jury and yet the defendant wasn’t allowed to have a professional witness to discribe the meaning to the crime Trump was accused of…which alone is not a crime and no other crime has been established 🤷🏻♀️ what kind of kangaroo court is that? Find me a man and I will create a crime?

Americans(that means mainly the Conservative Voters): Would it be too much to hope that this rogue, partisan “judge” break down BEFORE commanding the jury be sent to “deliberate”…to break down in tears that the trial is hereby adjourned, charges are dismissed, and not to proceed further? As he realizes justice demands he not go down in history as lawless, but our Country first. Then he abruptly leaves the courtroom without another word. Is that too much to hope for?

God forgive me for saying this but i think it would be poetic justice if the Lord God in heaven struck this partisan judge with a stroke that leaves him paralized and unable to speak for the rest of his miserable Life.

I guess that we need a better system in the U.S. to quickly remove people that should have refused themselves but didn’t. If we had an established procedure for this maybe Merchan wouldn’t be able to micro-manage what a witness can say if it doesn’t work for his handlers.

I wonder where the people making comments got their law degrees. They think they are so well versed in court room conduct.

This Judge is the one who should show the proper way to be a Judge. The D A which includes Bragg, James, and this Anti-Trump Judge should be removed from Office and investigated for corruption. The only people who can get a fair trial is the Democratic Socialist Party Members and possibly the criminals.

This judge shows absolutly no respect for anyone but demands you show respect to him! What an egotistical bully. He should be immediately dibarred since he doesnt have enough integrity to run a fair trial.

That’s not what happened. What happened is Stormy was in Florida and got a lizard in her pants. she mistook it for Trump when he gave her $130.000 dollars.

If this judge is allowed to remain on the bench after this trial there is no justice in this country anymore. Any ruling he makes should be overturned on the grounds of bias and improper court procedure. Talk about a kangaroo court this one is a perfect example.
