    Republicans HATE famous people with no relevant experience pontificating on politics that they don't understand... right up to the point that they find one that will say exactly what they want to hear. Then they can't get enough of that s**t.

    everything done in secret like a Soviet Star Chamber

    https://www.politico.com/news/2024/04/21/trump-trial-shadows-court-cases-00153506

    Everyone knows that cameras are banned in the courtroom. But other, lesser-known peculiarities of the court’s procedures have made critical aspects of the case opaque.

    Behind the scenes, a maze of arcane rules and archaic systems has made it virtually impossible for the media — and the public — to access key motions and pretrial rulings in real time. New York’s docketing practices have not been updated for the digital age. The judge, Justice Juan Merchan, has imposed policies that force days or even weeks of delays before crucial documents become public. When they do, they have been subject to a heavy, court-imposed redaction process.

    And Merchan frequently uses email to communicate with Trump’s defense lawyers and the prosecutors from Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office. That’s led to a ballooning set of off-the-book messages that are shielded from the public.

    The result is that one of the most consequential chapters of American history is being drafted with missing pages and invisible ink.

    Steven A. Smith is a known Cheeto sympathizer.

    I never would have guessed this would be the case to keep an eye on. The other cases are (a) overseen by a MAGA-hat Federalist Society Judge (Cannon) or (b) run by a DA who didn't have the good sense not to sleep with someone on her prosecution team.

    The easier explanation is that Matthew Colangelo is looking for a high profile case to make a name for himself ... much like Dementia Don's lawyers ... except at lower pay.

    But that does not fit your partisan narrative ...

    Imagine if Joe biden fell asleep 4 out of 5 days in court. These MAGAT morons @Salvy would be throwing a hissy fit. When their cult leader does it they don't care or pretend it didnt happwn. We have some braindead people thinking somehow trump is fit. The narrative is insane
