But Faux has already spun Michael Cohen as the worst witness ever. I’m sure they’ll claim this guy was “strong” and “masterful” and should be believed.

I am really enjoying the segment where the panel has their informal discussion. Hearing the expert's unsanitized and unfiltered opinions, including the not necessarily-for-broadcast body language (and some words normally not considered acceptable for reporting) is amazing ... a lot of normally not broadcast perceptions are presented for us to sift through.

The best part of this episode was the apparent back stage, supposedly off-camera conversation Lawrence was having with Andrew, Lisa, and the other contributor whose name I always forget. They're talking about the case and NY court system while the commercial is running, not knowing they're on air. Somebody is heard giving them the 30-second warning to get ready for going on-air. I loved it!

I hope this jury is able to see just how little respect Trump and his allies have for the rule of law. They are trying to make a circus of these proceedings then accuse the judicial system of being unfair.

Why do people think they're somehow more important? The judge said "clear the courtroom" you go, don't care who you are, you leave. It seems to be a problem that's increasingly common. Much of it online, brats thinking it's acceptable to attack the public, record it and call it a 'prank' or claiming all over monuments...it drives me crazy!

I could listen to Lawrence for hours, he's be at home in the BBC here in the UK. On a scale of professionalism and intellect you have 'tuctuc' from fox at zero, at the other end at a million you have lawrence.

The restraint this judge has shown is remarkably professional and in no way has approached the irrationality that the republican party has devolved into. Full respect for this judge.

Merchan failed to stop the defendant from committig ccriminal contempt right there in the courtroom, and treating the courthouse as his personal soapbox. So of course everyone else has no idea what conduct is acceptable.
