Judge Merchan threatens President Trump with arrest if he isn’t in court every single day of trial
-
as usual: LET'S HOPE.
For USA Evil Empire to jail its opposition leader, would be AWESOME.
It would be case of: USA Evil Empire shows its ugly, true face.
"If you do not show up there will be an arrest," Merchan told Trump.
For ordinary USA peeps, to elect opposition leader, from jail, in giant "Fuck You" to USA Evil Regime & Criminal Biden, would be..... show of a lifetime

The judge's statements aren't special to Trump; they give the same warnings to all criminal defendants. They're known as Parker Warnings, based on People v. Parker in 1982. A criminal defendant has a right to be present for their trial under the Confrontation Clause, and there's a strong preference against trials in absentia. The Parker court established that you have to inform the defendant of their rights, the consequences of not showing up, and recommended that proceedings should be adjourned so that a bench warrant can be issued if a defendant doesn't show up (assuming that there isn't clear evidence that the defendant knowingly and voluntarily waived his/her right to be present for trial).
I love how conservative idiots are trying to turn ordinary court procedure into fake evidence that the court is biased against Trump.

@hubrys First - What you just said, is similar to what judges & lawyers say in North Korea, Nazi Germany, Venezuela, Cuba, Soviet Union, Iran, European Union.
They all think they're doing right & following law.
Here's what you're leaving out.
You're leaving out that the case is one of THE MOST INSANE legal stretches ever conceived. Even partisan SDNY turned it down.
And you're leaving out that so-called "judge" Merchan has conflicts of interest.
As in, FAMILY. FINANCIAL. INTERESTS. MASSIVE. CONFLICTS.
That Merchan is on case at all - That he hasn't recused - If it isn't a crime, it ought to be. It's double or triple of Dirty Fani's conflicts.
So you have a MASSIVELY conflicted, partisan judge, keeping himself in power on a RIDICULOUS PARTISAN LAWFARE case.
And in THAT context.... a case that couldn't be more wrong & partisan...... you say
The judge's statements aren't special to Trump
Uh-huh.
Yes they are special to Trump - because case is 100% political, a unique (we hope) expression of animus.
Biden can't campaign (being senile). So you Evil Lawfare Dems equalize (or try to), by make it so Trump can't campaign.
Next - Your comments described a judge ADVISING a defendant, that they OUGHT TO attend every day. Like, optional.
A criminal defendant has a right to be present for their trial under the Confrontation Clause, and there's a strong preference against trials in absentia. The Parker court established that you have to inform the defendant of their rights, the consequences of not showing up, and recommended that proceedings should be adjourned so that a bench warrant can be issued if a defendant doesn't show up (assuming that there isn't clear evidence that the defendant knowingly and voluntarily waived his/her right to be present for trial).
You're saying that, under Parker, President Trump could "voluntarily waiv[e] his right to be present".
Yes that's optional - as you described it.
But did Merchan tell Trump something optional?
"If you do not show up there will be an arrest," Merchan told Trump
Having knocked Merchan, let me say again, I am on Merchan's & your side - in this respect.
I hope Trump attends Barron's graduation, or one rally or something.... and then Merchan jails Trump!!
Yes! -
Merchan says President Trump "can’t attend Supreme Court arguments on presidential immunity" - for another Dem lawfare case.
But remember guys, this is all ordinary.
@hubrys said it's ordinary. Nothing to see here. ORDINARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Why Dems need lawfare: Biden's non-crowd in PA, vs. Trump's huge crowd.
Biden pic doesn't show him onstage yet - but, let's see, Biden got 50 people to wait for him to come onstage. While he got coked up.

Whoa... Merchan fucks over Jack Smith?
[Smith's] Judge Cannon...refuses to schedule hearings that President Trump can’t attend due to prior court commitments in the sham “hush money” case [Merchan]. This setback could be the final straw for [Smith's] fragile plans, delaying his “classified docs” case by another two months and making it nearly impossible to reach a trial date before the 2024 election.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahahahaha

Whoa... Merchan's grownup daughter fundraises $100M?
I'd like to see number confirmed elsewhere.......... but..... you know..... I'd also like to see her sue - if it's wholly untrue.
Whether number is 1 or 10 or 100 or 900, Merchan - so-called "judge" now - is conflicted.
-
How many "judges" tell people they will be arrested if they attend a US Supreme Court appeal?
Let's not forget that this is the same judge who refused to recuse himself despite his political bias, thanks to his wife and daughter.
NAH, this is lawfare by the left, just like everything else.

First prosecutor up is Michael Colangelo, Biden official - former #3 at Biden Regime "DOJ".
Think about that.
Official leaves highest reaches of Biden Regime to fulfill his dream.... of being local prosecutor??
It only makes sense as "Get Trump" psychosis, driven from Biden White House, for partisan goals.
Colangelo opens by accusing Trump of 'election fraud' for the 2016 election. Yup.
This is LONG AFTER MUELLER report found 1) NO votes affected by Russia, 2) NO collusion.
Isn't false claims of election fraud, bad? Libs told me so.
