To say that things are not going well for Donald Trump and the New York fraud trial
would be probably the understatement of the century.
Not only is Donald Trump getting hammered by his own witnesses, but his lawyers are
also just having a heck of a time trying to keep themselves in order.
And I'm sorry for laughing, but I just have to say we're, we are witnessing like the failures
of America's law schools.
Whenever we watched Trump's lawyers go into a courtroom or file a motion where, oops,
I actually didn't, wasn't a member of the bar here, couldn't, couldn't file this motion,
but I'll take care of it, they say.
But this week, on Thursday, Donald Trump's lawyer, Christopher Keys, he actually got
in trouble with Judge Arthur Geron because he was very rude and insulting to two female
lawyers in the courtroom.
In fact, he was so insulting to them, in fact, insulting one of them's intelligence that
Geron had to force Christopher Keys to apologize to these two women for being so rude in the
courtroom.
Let me read you this.
According to sources familiar with the off the record sidebar, Trump attorney Chris Keese,
brushed off the judge's principal law clerk, Allison Greenfield, and questioned the intelligence
of Colleen Faherty of the Attorney General's office.
Keese waved off the clerk saying he was talking to the judge, not her, and that he only wanted
to speak to the judge according to sources.
Ke then appeared to question Feherty's intelligence saying that she wasn't able to connect the
dots on something they were discussing.
The sources said, per the report, Feherty replied, be more respectful.
To which Ke said, no.
Later the judge recalled the attorneys to the bench and ordered keys to apologize to
the two women.
So he's in court like they're having a sidebar, right?
It's off the record, .
And the one lawyer tells him like, Hey, be more respectful.
And he looks at her and he goes, no, nah, .
I, I don't know if he added that second part, but I'm going to assume for the moment that
he did.
We're dealing with a five-year-old, a five-year-old that apparently has a law license that is
representing the former president of the United States, and he can't even keep himself in
line enough to be respectful to other human beings in the courtroom.
Thi this is beyond anything I think I have ever, ever seen.
For the record, the judge does have the authority to hold, uh, keys in contempt if he continues
this kind of behavior.
Technically, you could have held him in contempt when he first did it.
Like you don't have to give them a warning.
You can automatically hold them in
Contempt for doing this.
You could have ordered him to spend a night in jail.
You know, let's have you cool down a bit, bud.
And you can go sit in a little county lockup overnight, have your dinner there, wake up,
shower, come back to my courtroom, hopefully with a different attitude.
So are these just the kinds of people that Donald Trump attracts, like people who are
just overtly horrible to women for the sake of them being women?
I mean, you know, personalities tend to attract the same kind of personalities.
So if Donald Trump is basing his legal selection solely on the fact that, hey, he doesn't like
women, I don't like women, I'm disrespectful to him, he is disrespectful to him.
Lemme tell you, not a sound legal strategy.
Uh, really probably not gonna work out in your favor.
Also, considering the fact that this judge is the only one who gets to determine the
penalties in this case, your guilt has already been determined.
Probably not a good idea to continue him off.
But that is a lesson that luckily neither Trump nor his lawyers seem to be able
to learn.
