Change for 2nd hearing?

[EndlessWire]

MT said that Trump complained about the hearing being held next Wednesday, because, you know, "campaigning"....So, J. Merchan changed the date to Thursday (May 2nd.) I suppose it doesn't matter. You can still spend overnight in jail, or be ordered to report next Wednesday. So, still holding out hope.

But, I am disappointed that the Judge bought this excuse. Also, whatever happened with the request by his attorney for two weeks off for surgery he allegedly scheduled for the 29th?

1. He should have sais "Okay we'll move it Monday

2. Do you know why the Court

will be dark on Monday?

5. I'm kinda curious who MT is as well...?

Mary Trump? How would she know, if so?

3. With re: the attorney gone for 2 weeks for surgery... I have not seen anything confirmed, but Trump

has a team of attorneys. I can't imagine Judge Merchan delaying the trial for a scheduled surgery for one defense lawyer. It isn't the lead attorney, after all, and apparently, his issue is nonemergent and known ahead of time so...

Officially, who knows?

10. The attorney that is taking time off

is one of the leads in fraud and documents cases not current trial. I know so many lawyers!

4. MT? Hearing?

Since we're not all watching or reading the same things, some context would be helpful.

6. I think this judge is smart enough to not give

clown what he wants. Fundraising off being punished is his aim.

7. In a trial that is expected to last as long as this one is,

I think it is reasonable to be able to count on being off on the one day a week (Wednesday) when the trial is not scheduled to be happening. Why he sants it off is irrelevant as far as I'm concerned.

9. Well, your reasoning

is okay. It is more a thing about control of the Courtroom. So far, Trump seems to be winning. Trump's total failure to follow the Judge's orders is what got him to Wednesday in the first place. He doesn't deserve Wednesday off.
