Jim, Judge Engoran is handling as he has to! He must be careful of doing anything, making any ruling, that could be used to win any appeals. The Right Wing's decades long drive to control the judicial system in joining with the Federalist Society, has resulted in a court system that frequently reflects rulings opposed by the majority of Americans. (Witness the MOST corrupt, illegal, anti-American "President" appointing THREE Supreme Court "Justices" in 4 years, as well as a heavy concentration of Appelate judges and others ("Loose" Cannon comes to mind)). I thank God that Engoran is not falling for Trump attorneys' obvious traps. Sadly, it requires him to allow disgusting behaviors of the defense attorneys to prove lack of prejudice.
Pat, that is exactly what I though after the Judge sat back and let Trump speak. He rambled, accused, called everybody thugs and scums! The bottom line? Judge Engoran had already said he was guilty of fraud and such. This hearing is to determine how much he will have to pay!! In my book, it is wise not to piss off the person who is going to determine if you will have any money left!! Judge Engoran played it well by not giving trump's lawyers anything to appeal! Well played, Judge, well played.
