George Washington University law professor said the Trump "hush money" trial in New York City got "increasingly obscene" this week, and not for the reason TDS-addled director/actor Rob Reiner would like to believe, but I'll get to that in a second.
Stormy Daniels' testimony this week caused Trump's legal team to ask the judge to declare a mistrial, which didn't happen. Turley puts much of this travesty on the judge:
Yesterday It was a dumpster fire that Judge Merchan watched burn for a full day and then said the jury may have to disregard much of what they saw and heard... https://t.co/FTwcs8XPU3

...it was Stormy Daniels Day in Judge Merchan’s courtroom this week, and it is a bit late for the court to express shock over her testimony. It is not the witness, but the case that seems increasingly obscene.

Turley added this:
Daniels appeared eager to share the stories for the same reason that she was eager to sell her story. While she said that she “hates” Trump and wants him “held accountable,” Daniels is no victim.
She had an alleged tryst with Trump and then sought to cash in on the story.
It is a standard form of extortion of celebrities.
She later sought to cash in on the notoriety by appearing in strip clubs as part of a “Make America Horny Again” tour.
She is in her element in Merchan’s courtroom.
In New York, the relevance or credibility of witnesses like Daniels is largely immaterial.
This is a district that voted against Trump, 84.5% to 14.5%, in the 2020 presidential election.
But the facts or questionable nature of those making the allegations don't matter to the president of the Hollywood chapter of Club TDS, Rob Reiner.
I got a good laugh out of this reaction from the Clinton superfan:
Trump’s cult followers and shameless elected Republicans don’t care that he cheated on his wife with a porn star and paid her $130,000 to keep quiet so he wouldn’t lose the election. They don’t even care if he becomes a convicted felon. But this November the rest of us must.

It's always hilarious when somebody who works in Hollywood and was/is a big supporter of the Clintons gets the marital infidelity vapors.

Bill Clinton cheated on his wife with an intern-but that's okay. Even if her allegations, never proved and even denied on several occasions by Daniels, were true, at least she was an adult, not a child. Amazing the left-wing radical double standards. America will choose, not you. https://t.co/61YHwdecxY

Remember when Reiner wanted Bill Clinton's chief "bimbo eruption" guardian to be president a few years ago:
The best birthday present we could give Hillary Clinton is to make her POTUS. Sending my love to our next president. Happy birthday Hillary!

Thankfully Hillary never got that birthday present. Turns out it was located in Wisconsin.
