re: Judge Threatens To Remove Donald Trump From Witness Stand In New York Civil Fraud Trial

It's a good thing that Ny care about a victimless crime where the "offended party" never claimed an issue w/ Trump and was made whole w/ loan payments.
My favorite part is MAL being valuation of 17.5 million

"I will I excuse him and draw every negative inference that I can,” Engoron said.

I believe that's what we call grounds for Recusal of the Judge.

I just googled a pic of Engoron..he should be on trial for growing that wild wavy pube job on top of his head..

Looks like Henry Winkler's grey doppelganger.

Engoron, however, told the Trump attorneys, “This is not a political rally.”

Bitch, you have made it one.

In civil litigation in federal court, a witness’s invocation of the Fifth Amendment may give rise to an adverse inference “when independent evidence exists of the fact to which the party refuses to answer.” In the criminal context, no adverse inference is permitted from a witness’s refusal to testify based on the Fifth Amendment. In federal civil litigation, however, an adverse inference may be “drawn when independent evidence exists of the fact to which the party refuses to answer” — meaning that “an adverse inference can be drawn when silence is countered by independent evidence of the fact being questioned, but that same inference cannot be drawn when, for example, silence is the answer to an allegation contained in a complaint.” Doe ex rel. Rudy-Glanzer v. Glanzer, 232 F.3d 1258, 1264 (9th Cir. 2000) (internal citations omitted).

I'm not sure if that's how our justice system is intended to work.

Ummm…it actually does belong in our justice system - negative or adverse inference, look it up.

Except that here the judge is just talking about drawing a negative inference based on his displeasure with testimony, not independent evidence. I think the judge is screwed himself here - he should be formally admonished and removed. All he's doing is letting everyone know that this is, indeed, a kangaroo court.

Who would remove him?

hey are going to throw him in jail. They won’t face any consequences for it. That is the world we live in now

This is a civil trial where the Judge and DA determine the financial penalty. This is about breaking him financially.

I might be woefully ignorant but what is this case based on? I heard it was about property value or some dumb shite?
What year is this based off of? I ask because they seem to come after Trump on a lot of stuff that’s close to or expired laws based off of statute of limitations.

This is what rubs me raw. Dems and libs don’t actually care about law… they’re just anti Trump. If he wasn’t running, they’d give 0 frickaroos.
