What a dick. This does not sound like the legal process at work at all. Besides, innocent people would never do this.
Responding to these provocations with contempt charges is correct and proper. Any appeal court judge is going to see that Trump was treated with kid gloves here.
And it kinda doesn't matter what political party the appeal judge is. They really don't like people being disrespectful to them and ignoring their orders. It's like the number one thing all judges hate. This strategy will probably not work.
I don't know about that last part so much. Current conservatives have shown that there is no level that they won't sink to and no level of hypocrisy they won't espouse.
Caveat being it is to further their own lust for power. The second they are on the receiving end serious injustices are taking place.
It's so dumb that an appeal for a mistrial can get the whole case thrown out rather than simply retried with a different judge
At this point, his strategy is to delay, delay, delay, get elected, and pardon himself.
Most mistrials are retried from the beginning. I imagine it’s mostly the cases that involve misconduct on the judges behalf that get throw out, as that’s a strong argument for a 6th Amendment violation.
