- Judge Juan Merchan had a heated exchange with Donald Trump's lawyer Todd Blanche in a hearing about whether Trump's social posts violated a gag order. CNN Chief Legal Affairs Correspondent Paula Reid reports. #CNN #News
Another lawyer sacrificing his career for nothing, its weird.
MAGA stands for Making Attorneys Get Attorneys.
all for the three mins of fame
No. They'll make millions supporting an evil man.
MAGA also stands for Make Asshole Guilty Already
And then they start crying about not being paid...
Taking Trump as a client is like encasing your feet in concrete and going for a swim.
Excellent analogy
Put your feet in concrete and b take a swim
CNN is a b iden demo hypricate

That's also what it's like getting your news from CNN 😂
Michael Cohen, when asked what he would do if he were Trump's lawyer, said: "Run." lol.
It's no surprise. Everything associated with Trump is a DISASTER😅
The same people who buy lottery tickets
Same with the demos quit calling the kettle black
ok biden lover the clown,since when is biden a saint from heaven,he is not!!!!! trump 2024 or we are doomed with clown biden!!!
@@wandabreedlove1664 demos? Did you graduate from trump university? Do you know about punctuation?
No not the same as demos and not calling kettle black! He's GUILTY A.S.
Judging by the reports of trumps flatulence maybe he’s misinterpreting what a GAG order is
The sound of his voice is like torture.

Didn’t Rod Serling start a Twilight Zone like that?
@@THINJIMI 😁😬😳
Yeah Joe Biden the dictator would definitely threaten the lives of a jury
Yeah because they got a hit job from crime Boss Joe Biden
if his lawyers look dumb now, imagine their faces as they have to sue trump for their fee
Do they even bother signing a contract with trump anymore? They know before they accept the job that there is a little bit under 0% chance that they will be paid. Unless you are a kneepadder like Habba Dabba Dooo. Though not a lawyer, press sexretary Cagey MAGAninny was the same exact way.
The Trump legal team strategy:
"If you can not dazzle them with brilliance then baffle them with bullshit".
The judge was was neither dazzled or baffled.
or they try to blow up the trial
I'm sure they have sortet out a way to abort this trial and deelay the next trial
obviously you don't study or know legal facts. this case is weak no matter who is bringing it against who. If it were you, you would be screaming bloody murder with out all the $ needed to fight back. Respect.

Apparently some can here in this Country.
You just made the faulty assumption that Trump is human
@@ecurewitz True that
Yet he walks free, absolutely toothless.
White privilege? 🤔
I don't know why taxpayer money is being wasted on this farce. If he is not to be held accountable, why bother with a trial?
He walks around. His supporters are toothless.
And yet he still breathes he still consumes the air that we rely on as well but yet she still breathes
Not for much longer
Obviously a career limiting move for the defence counsel.
The reason he has a gag order in the first place is because he shouts his mouth off about everyone in a very threatening way.
Anyone else would be held in contempt by now
An order not to threaten juror's families is NOT a gag order.
@@edwardrichardson7076has to be when the idiot does it. Common sense otherwise.

To anyone who doesn't understand what I mean, look it up in the context of the 1980s.
I’m struggling to imagine what Trump’s years at Wharton were like. Can anyone imagine him writing a research paper or hitting the books? This guy has been getting away with breaking the rules and steamrolling over efforts to bring him to heel for decades and it’s always been style over substance with him. I think most people were raised in America with a better sense of personal responsibility and decorum than this silver-spooned incorrigible liar. He should be cooling his heels in jail for the duration of the trial on contempt charges. Why isn’t he?
Time to drop the hammer on this hamburgler once and for all…
His Wharton Business school grades have never been disclosed- like you, I doubt that he could have been capable of graduating from Whasrton without his father or family member giving a sizable donation to Wharton. A knowledgeable economist said that when he spoke with Trump, he was astonished how little Trump knew about business or economics.
@@bbwng54 Isn’t that an outrage? Apparently Don Jr. went there too (not sure about Eric) and in listening to them it’s hard to imagine any of them having the intelligence or the work ethic to make the grade there…
He needs to just stop all together , and Rest In Peace ,,,
He didn't seal his records like obama or plagiarize like biden
@@micahmccarty7727 I’m totally in favor of him resting in peace - or whatever plans eternity has for him.
Just make him go away already - yikes!
Trump could have the 12 apostles as jurors & he'd still whine.
Well Judas was one of them.
Well, those guys would not let him off for sure.
If the 12 apostles would be the jurors at latest at day 2 of the trial trümp would be strucked by lightning because even god is fed up with his whining...
They would probably be mad at Trump because of the way he modified and tried to profit off of the Bible.
@@sebastianbloeser4277 Why should HE wait? 🌩️🌩️🌩️
Never_ever Trump 👎.
He makes America more divided.
That is the dumbest statement I have read today. The division if from Biden, the Democrats and the Fake News. THEY are the ones dividing America.
100% correct. Trumps America will be politically divided and anger will be everywhere. Civil War II on the cards
Trump would sell America to the highest bidder! He’s a complete fraud!
who campaigned on unifying the country who campaigned on transparency who runs from reporters questions
Trump is attacked 24/7 by the Marxist media but "he makes America more divided." Brilliant
Is it finally clear that Trump is a sociopath yet? Jfc🤦♂️
Not to his brainwashed base
Should have been clear in 2016. People thought he was "just joking" though, and here we are.
How are Trump's accordion lessons coming along...
He learnt on Stormys squeeze box
I HATE THAT SHIT
@@scottwhallin2461 I feel you...
😂😂😂 You broke the internet!
It's just the weirdest thing.
I tried to figure out why he does that, what the body language explanation for that particular hand gesture is, but i came up empty.
I don't think i have ever seen anybody else doing that so excessively.
What a mess! Trump is probably telling his lawyers what to say. Merchan is way smarter than Trumps lawyers.
So smart that his daughter was threatened weeks ago and he has still done fk all about it.
Whatever how smart are you
The older you get, the more likely of making as mess with a a trump. A trump is commonly known as a fart in the UK.
@@stevendurrant1724 Apparently the gag order case was heard this morning. Judge will make a ruling soon. I say put him in a holding room in the courthouse. I dont think that Merchan will send Trump in jail.
@@EricBeareax5217 I'm a smart Canadian!
The stack of papers are his pop up book to keep him entertained while the adults are working
One day, we might find a judge in the United States that will do what any judge would do to anyone else. That being holding Trump in contempt and remanding him into custody.
I did 180 days for contempt. 1 count. Jailed immediately.
Agreed. BUT... the judge is giving him the shovel to dig his hole publicly!
He's a real estate developer, and he's running his business as usual!
Success comes in many different ways! At least he is consistent.
Pathetically consistent!
Exactly. I don't know how many other people would get away with this
The judge seemed to be more knowledgeable about the posts than Trump’s own lawyers. Poor preparation.
All that I’m learning for trump is that you can deliberately disobey orders in the court without repercussions
He can. Us folks would be in the cell pretty quick.
@@Taylaeni wonder if people can start using trump's 'punishments' as a reference in their own cases.
Judge Merchan is caught between giving Trump what he wants (jail time to become a martyr) and keeping the rule of law. A great compromise would be to put Trump in a separate room, with only a TV to watch the trial…no humans to pervert! He will hate this, and not become the martyr he wants to be!
Why doesn't he just plead guilty and be done with the whole thing
he would never do that..he has a serious psych problem
He is an Idiot - thats why !!!
Imagine this stupid mind responsible for directing a War ...
For what reason should Donald Trump plead guilty? The gag order is also not compatible with the Constitution of the United States.
@@jonathandnicholson Yes it is. A gag order from a Court overwrites normal citizens' rights.
It is Trump's actions that are contibually at odds with the Constitutuion of USA
Hey Your Honor. How about holding Blanche in contempt for not controlling his client? That might get Blanche to be a bit more aggressive in controlling Trump. And if he can't he might want to withdraw.
All a lawyer can do is to advise his client.
No it won't, Trump will just fire him.
Blanche wants carte blanche for his client! May be even egging him on
Nah. His biggest concerned will be in getting paid.
Nope. tdump should have Contempt of court
At least Trump had a chance for a nap while the lawyers were talking.
Napping and farting…
😂😂😂😂😂
Because your media knows you think like children.
LOL! Good one!
@@andrewgocken517 Nah, that's fake snooze.
It’s not a disaster. IT’S A CIRCUS that a defendant CAN PLAY AROUND & TEASING & THREATENING THE COURT. WHAT A JOKE.
So glad this is a very experienced judge and that he didn't fall for their obfuscating BS and instead read actual individual posts. Reality checkmate!
Trump under oath? How would that even work?
It's a recipe for instant perjury
He'll lie anyway!
If I was the judge I would tell Mr. Trump if he wants to speak about the trial he has to use the park across the street to voice his opinions. I certainly would not let him speak out on city property, like he is doing.
Referring to social media posts as "truths" or "re-truthing" is so ridiculous.
Seriously, stop.
Just stop.
Exactly. Especially since we all know, most of those "truths" are lies. we should not steep down to that level. Call it what it is, re-lies.
That's the most blatant gaslighting in all history, even for Trump & Co.
Laura Coates is so brilliant -- even Chris Cuomo was intimidated by her when he was around even though he was/is brilliant too. Keep doing your thing, Mrs. Coates!
Yes. Would like to hear more about defendant’s lawyer. The story of how someone could agree to work for someone so corrupt and dishonest?
Cause the money keeps rolling in of course paid for by his cult members
The defense council needs to tell the judge, I can't control my client, you need to lock his ass up! 🙏
Amen 😂
🎶 “This is why we can’t have nice things. Because you break them. We have to take them away...” 🎶
is that Trump's reasoning for why we can't have democracy?
Trump is a mess 🤦♂️
An abuser will say: "I was only joking."
Having Trump as your client would be hellish. He has no self-control. None.
How do you intend to plead Mr. Trump?
"Beam me up Scotty."
That would actually make more sense than most of the stuff he says.
@@robertfaler1947 If effect, 'Beam me up Scotty,' is what Trump has always been saying, because, to date, he has been allowed to inhabit a comic-book fiction in which he is the good-guy Captain who always beats the bad-guys.
lol im laughing but this is really sad this man was president nuts
Why doesn't he just plead guilty and be done with the whole thing?
Because for every last day of his life he'll double down loser his way to claiming to be the world's #1 winner.
no.... he needs to drag it out as part of his campaign directed to MAGA for money and votes
He genuinely thinks it's unfair (and terrifying) if anyone scolds him. He'll never say out loud that he's wrong. His awful father told him all the time that he was no good, but also that he rules over losers and suckers, that he was special, and that he should always get his own way. Many Trump biographies available online, as well as the testimony of his niece Mary Trump, attest to these sad facts.
Lmgdfao@your ignorance
Because he needs to show that he's a "winner".
How you you gag a fish mouthed person. Also, can extreme, egregious farting be grounds for contempt?
If it’s egregious then yes.
Trump for prison 2024🇨🇦. Normalize housing and worker co-ops and Ⓐctive unions. Workers make the world run, workers should run the world☭.🇺🇸🇨🇺🇲🇽
Fitting symbol at the end of your comment. Shows the Democrats true colors. At least you're brave enough to openly admit it, unlike the rest of your Party.
Isn't Biden president? Why hasn't he done anything in 4yrs for the average worker or family? Lol
Why you still hung up on Trump?
Spot on - and with their LABOUR POWER they add VALUE to the WEALTH OF THE WORLD which is not shared with them the creators of that wealth by the 1% who own it and keeps them there by a system that reduces them to slaves - wage slaves. Speed the day when we own the world equally.

An order not to threaten juror's families is NOT a gag order.
I like how the defense went in with a thought out “plan”. As Mike Tyson said, everyone has a plan until you get punched in the face
Whining about not being able to speak when he won't take the stand. You got something to say then put up or Shut up under Oath in Court.
Another question from the court:
If Trump Senior has 5 kids by 3 wives and is traveling south at 50 mph, and Trump Junior has 5 kids by one wife and is traveling west at 40 mph, how many indictments until the 2 men meet in prison?
That's easy the answer is eleven.
95% Democrat would be if there was a jury of 20. Even including the alternates, there are only 18.

"I was just quoting someone" is like saying " I kneecapped the guy but I used somebody else's hammer?"
I figured he'd called the Jury biased. Surprised he hasn't tried calling the judge biased. He will, just to get another day.

Wow that must have been hard for narcissist Trump.
Judge Merchan, give American citizens and media a break from Trump for a few days by putting Trump in jail and taking his phone away. It may or may not increase MAGA temperature. Give MAGA no time to plan any nefarious deeds. If he acts out in court, so be it. The jury is watching!
Isn't this Branches 2nd case as a defense lawyer? Wasn't he a prosecutor?

Todd Blanche had better be getting paid HUGE SUMS OF MONEY if he hopes make this trial worth his time. Getting paid is only his first challenge. Not getting sanctioned is his 2nd challenge. Getting painted as a loser lawyer is his last challenge.
I'm a New Yorker, a Veteran. Although I almost puked when RumpT was elected, I truly respected him as President Although ugh he is everything against my values. It's because I swore to protect the Constitution, President (Past, Present and Future) and protect Democracy ❤ New York will be a jury of RumpT 's piers. To start with it was RumpT who created this as uncomfortable, as uncomplicated as it is❤
They're never going to jail him.
The logistics of his Secret Service would complicate things. He'll also just use it to make himself a martyr.
Throw him in solitaire for the entire proceeding
is it possible that trump and his lawyers are trying to create a reason to delay this trial???
Yhey have tried to delay all along, there was no LEGAL reason left to delay any longer. His attorneys got it delayed quite a bit all ready.
The longer the political prosecutions go on the higher the polls go and the more money he raises
Small point here - you can't have 95% of 12 or 16 jurors, in fact not any % between 90 and 99; unless there is a bodily fraction of a person.
I came to make this very comment. (Although it’s 12 or 18 jurors, with 6 alternates. But the point remains valid.)
Would 11/12 jurors not be 91.67%? Of course Trump would be wrong saying 95% (he's wrong about everything anyway), but I think the math would allow a percentage in the 90%-99% range. Regardless, the chances of 11 out of 12 jurors being Democrat is nearly zilch, especially since the defense helped pick the jurors.

Unmitigated disasters and Trump are a good fit.
All Trump needs to do is bring in the prosecutors that didn't bring charges on this exact case a few years ago and ask then Why they didn't bring charges on him back then. They stated there was not a real crime to prosecute him on and all four prior prosecutors said there wasn't a case for charges. Yup, bring them all in for testimony and ask them WHY!
Im just here to whimper about trump again. Its like an addiction.
CNN Soundcrew? Out to lunch? Or is it my headphones? Very god journalism anyway. Thank you. Keep up. Roger (and out).
so nothing happened
And nothing will. Even if Trump's convicted, it'll be tossed out by a higher court that actually obeys the law.
In my opinion it is the judge that is losing credibility. And by extension he is damaging the credibility of his own court. How can he keep allowing Trump so many counts of obvious contempt without doing something more significant to stop it? It is not only infuriating, it is the JUDGE that is killing his own credibility.
I say it every day. He knows something dark and deep about someone
