Judge Merchan is SO frustrated that he’s losing this case against Trump He’s now resorted to actively intervening in Robert Costello’s (Michael Cohen’s former attorney) testimony, which could absolutely DEMOLISH Alvin Brag’s case. Amazing.

Judge lets witness Stormy Daniels wander all over the place (shampoo, gold tweezers, sex position, tile on floor) but when it comes to an experienced lawyer with first hand knowledge of potential Cohen perjury, Robert Costello gets cuts off repeatedly.

While Judge Merchan allowed detailed irrelevant testimony from Stormy Daniels- including what she alleged Trump was wearing, what was in his medicine cabinet… he is curbing the relevant testimony of Cohens former legal advisor Robert Costello
Merchan is a disgrace to the rule of law.

Judge Merchan is sustaining the prosecutions objections before question is fully asked. It’s so bad the witness (Costello) blurs out “Jeez”. The contrast of how much Judge Merchan let in during Stormy’s and Cohen’s testimony to the handcuffing he is doing to the defense is unreal.
It is also 180 degrees opposite of what judges do in most criminal cases where they error on the side of allowing the defense to fully defend so that the conviction is upheld on appeal.
