“NBC producer who was in the courtroom reporting that the baseball bat tweet and other threats were brought up in court. Judge said he was concerned about them. Trump lawyers claimed free speech.”

This is likely a warning.

(per Helen Kennedy on Twitter)

CNN now reporting about Trump Jr.'s Tweet re the judge’s daughter. Mentions that she worked on the Biden campaign, and suggests that this is an effort at intimidation.

Absolutely not. Not valid grounds in any event.

Kids rarely share their parents political views. Taking the opposite side as an act of rebellion is far more common.

Man, when my father was sentenced back in 1982 or so, my sister was still mad at him for putting a loan on her car that she did not approve. However, no matter how mad she was, she still showed up to the sentencing to support his ass.

So, where were Trump’s kids?

Of everything Trump has done to our legal system, this is what offends me the most. His false claim that people who are fervently political in their private lives are unable to administer justice in a fair and impartial manner has damaged this country to a significant extent.

I guess since a lot of this has to do with TFG’s delicate extramarital extracurriculars, it would be a tad unseemly to have them there.

Well, it’s over. Trump and his legal team have left the courtroom. Question shouted by media, but he ignored them and walked into the hallway.

I didn’t notice if anybody held the door for him.

If any of you fine people can post a link to that video of the door being shut in trump’s face I would greatly appreciate it. I can’t seem to find it anywhere.

Wasn’t just a tweet – he also posted her picture.

Speculation is the reason the arraignment took much longer than normal was a whole bunch of admonitions or restrictions being imposed regarding reckless threats and intimidation.
