On Monday, Judge Tanya Chutkan has issued a partial gag order on Donald Trump, and now, before he attends court in Manhattan on Tuesday, he's lashing out at Justice Arthur Engoron. Former President Donald Trump returns to a New York City courthouse as a spectator at the civil fraud trial threatening to disrupt his real estate empire and could find himself drowning in debt.
Trump previously attacked the judge’s clerk in a social media post, and he was forced to delete it. Engoron said, “Personal attacks on the members of my court staff are unacceptable, inappropriate and I will not tolerate them under any circumstances,” and added that his statement should be considered a gag order forbidding any posts, emails or public remarks about members of his staff, the New York Times reported. So, he's got two gag orders going from two different judges. Well done, Lumpy!
Most of us would keep our mouths shut, but not Donald. Trump appears to be begging for a more official gag order in Manhattan, too, by attacking the Judge while on his way to Manhattan.
At any rate, the former one-term President just wanted to be sure that you heard him the first time, so he yelled at the Manhattan Judge again before attending the trial.
"I will be attending the trial in Manhattan this morning," the blabbermouth said. "I greatly appreciate all of the legal professors and scholars that are saying I DID NOTHING WRONG."
"I can't have a JURY and am being viciously tried under a Statute that has never been used before. The Radical Left Democrat Judge, WHO IS HIGHLY POLITICAL, serves as Judge, Jury, and everything else," he added while defaming the Judge. 'America cannot let this happen. Our legal system is corrupt and broken! Everything emanates from Washington, "GET TRUMP."'
"We are having a non-jury trial because we are hearing a non-jury case," Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Arthur Engoron said last week.
And there is this via Meidas Touch's Ron Filipkowski:
"[Trump lawyer John Lauro] Lauro then argued that when Trump referenced DC being a "filthy and crime-ridden city," he wasn't referencing the jury pool he was talking about Biden's policies," he claimed. "The Judge noted that Trump never mentioned Biden in his criticisms of DC, and said there is no question that Trump's statements about DC disparage the jury pool. Lauro then argued that, if anything, Trump's statements about DC will only hurt him with the jury pool, not help him. The Judge said that may be true."
That sounds like more self-inflicted wounds from Trump. If he had a jury, he had already disparaged the members of the jury by basically calling their DC home a shithole. And you know how Trump feels about Manhattan, too. He's not a fan because he's so hated there.
