The wife of the New York judge overseeing former President Trump’s ongoing civil fraud trial is the latest target of Trump’s rage online.
Trump took aim at Judge Arthur Engoron’s wife in a series of posts Tuesday afternoon, purporting that an account on X — formerly Twitter — that made several anti-Trump posts belongs to her.
What’s the point of having legalised guns
He could shoot her in the middle of 5th avenue and the judge still wouldn’t enforce a gag order.
If I were going off these posts alone, I would conclude that trump immediately violated the gag order today?
I mean it’s very believable…but I’m hoping it’s just weird timing of the posts and he stfu for at least a couple hours.
Oh this will end well.
For him? I guarantee it.
What other consequences has he ever faced for anything he’s said, other than a gag order he knows they won’t enforce?
Definitely a great strategy to go after the judge’s wife in a bench trial.
And again, it shows that Trump is just above the law. If anyone else did that they’d be in Rikers for the remainder of the trial.
Trump’s lawyer to appeals court judges after verdict:
“Your honor, my client and myself constantly, publicly and viciously attacked the trial judge, his staff, the opposing counsel, and their families, including making many demonstrably false libelous statements. They all received many death threats on a daily basis as a result of our actions. Therefore you must overturn the verdict because he must have been biased against us by our own actions.”
Yeah we’ll see how that plays out in the appeals courts. I didn’t think even republican partisan hack judges will buy that. We’ll find out soon I guess though.
Trump basically wants this judge to snap and or get really harsh with him. Even though the judge would 100% be in the right, Trump will use the harsh penalties as miscarriage of justice ammo in an appeals case.
IMHO, this guy needs to continue doing what he has mostly already done. Don’t take the bait.
Edit: typos
No sane court would. But the last president appointed some real kooks to a lot of courts.
I could see Trump trying to get an injunction against the ruling pending appeal. Even a sane court would need to allow time for discovery, arguments, etc. Any material (in the way of snark or comments from the judge could mean added delays. Trump would definitely slow walk the appeal as much as possible on the hope that he’ll get reelected and pull some nonsense to wriggle out of consequences.
