So Trump is giving speeches and, as the judge said, trying to turn his appearance into a political rally. What did he think was going to happen? Is there any conceivable reason why Judge Engeron, or the Attorney General, should have expected anything different? …

Because everyone knows this is a political prosecution by representatives of the Democratic Party, Judge Engeron and Attorney General James have no moral high ground to stand on. They wanted to see Donald Trump on the witness stand, and that is what they are getting.

[I don’t think Trump is doing himself any good with these antics, but I also think that the damage has already been entirely done before he even had the opportunity to take the stand. This is the first fraud lawsuit I’ve ever seen in which literally no one got victimized or lost money, not even the state on taxes. It’s a joke, and all Trump’s doing is adding another ring to the circus. — Ed]
