After a long day of reporting on the hush money trial involving Donald Trump, Jeanine Pirro paused to gather her thoughts before passionately criticizing Judge Juan Merchan, District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and the key witness, Stormy Daniels.
During an interview on Friday with “The Five,” the former judge expressed his thoughts on the matter, saying, “There was a lot going through my mind at that moment. I was sitting in the courtroom, observing the judge, who was wearing a robe, instructing the prosecutor to relay a message to Michael Cohen, requesting him not to speak. It was truly a display of spinelessness.”
She went on to say:
The judge does not want to gag Michael Cohen. He refuses to because he’s part of this whole conspiracy to convict Trump. The truth is, if you are going to gag Donald Trump , which you don’t have a right to do in this case, you’ve got to gag Michael Cohen. Everybody knows that. The ordinary American out there knows it. But, when he turned into such a wuss — ‘Can you tell him, I’m asking you to tell him’ — are you stupid?! Do you not know you are a judge? Not only that, but Alvin Bragg comes in the courtroom, he comes in and he squeezes in a bench next to his bodyguard, the two of them are sitting there. And I’m saying to myself, what the hell are you doing in this courtroom? This is an expired misdemeanor that we don’t even know is true, and what you’re doing is, you’re coming in here to make sure that jury knows this case is important to Manhattan, while there are people in jail who have been sitting in jail for years on violent felonies.
Pirro summarized her understanding of the case as follows:
Donald Trump would be on the phone, he’d be signing checks. He’d be talking to people and signing checks. You can’t even show if he signed the check that he knew what he was signing, other than Rona [Graff] sent it to him , and Rona had no knowledge of the agreement allegedly between the woman who lies for a living, lays for a living. Lies, lays for a living, and lies for a living.
Trump has entered a plea of not guilty for all 34 felony charges brought against him.
