Just saying, it's not as much a slam dunk case for the prosecution as you seem to think.As with every judge and every proceeding. I am not interested in the cult excuses you are saving up for your rainy day.
It will be interesting to see how far the judge goes into overturn on appeal land while trying to appease the usual suspects out for blood.In fantasyland. In reality, judges have to admonish witnesses all the time. They have to tell them to answer the question and tell them not to speechify.
And as was already pointed out, the judges in Trump's jury trials will have even less patience for this than Engoron has.
