    I am an official court reporter in a similar court in my state. My judge has NEVER had to clear the courtroom in a jury trial. A note about daily transcripts, the daily copy the court reporter puts out is a rough draft. While there may be some small errors or omissions in these dailies, the final transcript will be a different matter. Before a final draft, the court reporter will make corrections and fill in any dropped words, and it is the official record of the court and extremely accurate. I can't imagine the pressure this court reporter is under, but she seems to be doing a great job. Kudos to her, and kudos to the judge, and kudos to the rest of the court staff for taking control of the courtroom!

One left office with a 1.4 percent inflation rate and the other is struggling to bring it down to 3 percent from the 9 percent he's had the majority of his term. Ones projected to lose every battleground state, with the exculsion of one and even that's debatable because it's within the margin of error and some polls are alluding to potentially losing in a landslide, while the other sits in a bogus trial that the longer it goes on becomes more and more of a clown show and its not because of the defense.

      The daily naps and utter lack of concern from Trump isn't selling his cooperative nature either. It is in his own way to behave in contempt, and get away with it.
      And I'll bet the jury notice this.

    The whole collection of people associated with 45 is nothing but contemptuous! The defense really called in a good witness! Someone who may get charged with contempt of court if he keeps rolling his eyes at the judge. When those associated with 45 fall,they fall hard,and far.

      It seems to me that when those associated with Trump fall, they get a presidential pardon or a light sentence and then write a book and get rich. Bannon is not in jail, Flynn is not in jail, Manafort is not in Jail. They all skate, as will Trump himself.

      There's always a difference between one person doing something and a crowd doing it. Partly as a matter of simple practicality. Partly because, if a bunch of people hold the same wrong opinion, it's at least easier to see that it's a reasonable misunderstanding.

      Also, they brought a lawyer in anticipation that the press would be barred from witnessing the proceedings. So they refused to leave at first to give their attorney a chance to advise them or speak to the court, as he or she thought best. It appears their attorney didn’t make much fuss and respected the judge’s right to clear the room.
