    At this point I have to assume he’s bought the judges off. Why else do they refuse to uphold the rules.

      We hear about all of the bad behavior and warnings, but many people don’t realize it’s all happening in a number of cases. Warnings from one trial don’t generally carry over to a different trial.

      Cannon in FL is not paid off. She’s doing it for free because she’s a MAGA idiot.

      Chutkan is being fair but somewhat cautious/gracious to avoid an appeal if (when) Trump gets convicted for J6.

      Engoron - the one in the article - is an old school republican. But he’s also an old school judge. His pretrial rulings have been swift and fair. He seems to understand Trump is full of shit, and he’s also not just rubber stamping everything the prosecution requests.

      There’s plenty wrong with our legal system, but none of these judges have been bought off.
