LOL!!  

Upon reflection, I see that you're right, Rich since you definitely want to give deference to QAnon music...

Watch the video, it is good.  Dershowitz comes in at 28:45

"I rolled my eyes when the judge made some rulings that were absurd. Any 1st year evidence student would understand that he (Merchan) was making biased rulings in favor of one side (the Prosecution).  I stared him down but Costello didn't. He acted like a normal witness and the Judge went BERSERK!  The judge violated Trump's Constitutional right to a public trial, by kicking the media out of the courtroom.  I don't know why I wasn't kicked out, and I heard him lecture Costello 'What you did was contemptuous, you LOOKED at me contemptuously!......'.  The judge had such a thin skin that he threatened him (Costello)!  He said he would STRIKE the testimony and hold him in contempt IF he rolled his eyes again!  "

Just how insane is that?  

Well, as Dershowitz said "You have a Constitutional Right to roll your eyes and to stare at anybody.  It was absurd.  And then to sit so close to Cohen, watching him give LIE after LIE.  Would you believe he actually said he would not accept a pardon from Donald Trump AFTER he had previously said he would do anything to avoid prison? He said essentially he would lie, he would cheat, he would do anything to avoid prison, BUT I WON'T ACCEPT A PARDON FROM DONALD TRUMP. If you believe that I've got a bridge to sell you in Brooklyn".

Yes, Juan Merchan is a complete CLOWN of a Judge who is so obviously biased it is enough to make one's head spin.

I wonder what any lawyers out there would say about this?  Oh wait, I forgot. Our resident lawyer is still hiding under his desk.   

Well, I'm not a "resident lawyer" and neither are you but a witness does not have the right to make visual cues or smirks or acting in a derogatory manner while giving testimony under oath.

That said, I see Dershowitz shows up for one portion of the proceedings, that being the defense portion, and makes his proclamations and conclusions of the case. Glad to see he's evidently over his grief on the loss of his friend and client, OJ Simpson...

The CONs On SCOTUS are seeing to it:

Ya gotta remember what Brett M. Kavanaugh said during oral arguments: Well, what if the owners  didn't know about the ban and didn't know a bumpstock was illegal?

Whatever happened to:  "Ignorantia juris non excusat is a Latin phrase that means "ignorance of the law excuses no one."

I thought that was law school 101...

"Seriously, why do you have a problem with the judge being careful and deliberate in a high stakes criminal trial?"

I guess I have to restate what I've previously and linked to but I've found it nicely summarized:

"To say that Cannon finds herself in an entirely avoidable situation is an understatement. The primary speed bump preventing a swift speedy resolution of the issues she cites in explaining her delay is none other than Cannon herself. It’s impossible at this juncture to definitively apportion the blame for this cascading failure on inexperience, partisan malice and simply being dealt a bum hand. What is clear though is that Cannon has made what should have been one of the most straightforward cases against Trump into a quagmire of her own creation."

"Cannon’s office has struggled with the heavy workload, higher than normal turnover in her chambers, the required clearances her clerks need to handle classified material, and a new propensity for micromanaging given the increased scrutiny on her after the special master ruling."

"That includes her frankly bizarre decision to have the prosecution and defense spend time on crafting potential jury instructions and arguments regarding the Presidential Records Act rather than deal with the more pressing issues on her plate."

"Again, the evidentiary role of classified material would likely slow down any criminal trial, let alone one involving a former president. But given the clear evidence that Trump was in possession of the documents seized despite a subpoena to return them and attempted to foil the government’s efforts to recover them, this should be an open and shut case once it gets before a jury. Instead, Cannon has only painted herself into a corner, overcorrecting from her past mistakes in a way that has only exacerbated her subsequent follies."

It is a shame the judge cannot give MSNBC the Hulk Hogan treatment.

What do you think of MSNBC’s lame-o attempt to resurrect Russian interference as a defining issue of this election?  Maybe MSNBC wants a repeat of 2016?

Jim,
I've had already posted a link to a video of a retired judge stating essentially the same thing as that in my MSNBC link. Like I previously said, I guessed you missed it.

I haven't seen MSNBC noting Russian election interference to be a "defining issue" in the 2024 election but the fact that Russia is proceeding to do the same as it did in the past is an established fact:

The latest insanity from MAGACannon: a jury may be too stupid to understand the case! Yup, another conjured-up reason not to hear it!

https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/22/politics/trump-documents-case-judge-cannon-hearing/index.html

"Former Trump White House attorney Ty Cobb went after federal Judge Aileen Cannon on Wednesday for indefinitely postponing former President Trump’s criminal classified documents case for procedural reasons, accusing her of “incompetence.”

“And frankly, this is a case that should’ve started trial yesterday or two days ago when the original trial date was set,” he continued. “This case could have easily gotten to trial. Only her incompetence and perceived bias has prevented that.”

https://thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/4681385-ty-cobb-aileen-cannon-donald-trump-classified-documents-case-delays-2024/

“Notably, no excuse is provided as to how the former president could miss the classified-marked documents found in his own bedroom at Mar-a-Lago,”

"The matter is now before Judge Aileen Cannon, who is still weighing this motion and several others asking her to toss the case."

"In the meanwhile, she has indefinitely delayed Trump’s trial, refusing to set a new trial date in an order earlier this month while detailing she needed more time to weigh each of the former president’s motions."

Like Joy Reid said on MSNBC, "The bribe is implied", and MAGACannon appears to be well on her way in securing a future seat on SCOTUS...

Well, it's not shocking that RICH DAVIS would echo the ongoing nonsense from right wing media.
Virtually ANY warrant related-searches, either federal or state, are authorized to have deadly force, It's STANDARD operating procedure...
