"The trial had been in limbo after a last-minute document dump caused a postponement of the original date.

In setting jury selection for April 15, Merchan bristled at what he suggested were baseless claims by Trump's lawyers that prosecutors intentionally failed to pursue tens of thousands of pages of records from a federal probe covering the same issues."

"That you don't have a case right now is really disconcerting because the allegation that the defense makes in all of your papers is incredibly serious. Unbelievably serious," Merchan said.

"You're accusing the Manhattan district attorney's office and the people involved in this case of prosecutorial misconduct and of trying to make me complicit in it. And you don't have a single cite to support that position."

Donnie Delay... because it's all he's ever got.

Will Trump be able to sit still with his mouth shut for that long?:

"Absolutely not," @maggieNYT says on whether Trump realizes he's going to trial in three weeks. "And I have to say, sitting in that courtroom for him four days a week ... in this very dingy, sort of Bonfire of the Vanities' type courtroom, is going to be interesting to watch."

Trump will PO the judge and jury.

He is insane.

Of course he'll repeat the same behavior and expect he'll get off scot-free. Didn't work out last time. Juries won't be amenable to outbursts in the courtroom or on the front steps. Trump'll shoot himself in the foot. And like the civil trial, they have the goods on him complete with witnesses for the prosecution who did Trump's bidding.

Thank God! Our day in court has come at last, and the greatest president in the history of this country will now be able to deliver the proof of his total and complete innocence!

Judge issues gag order barring Donald Trump from commenting on witnesses, others in hush money case

NEW YORK (AP) " A New York judge Tuesday issued a gag order barring Donald Trump from commenting publicly about witnesses, prosecutors, court staff and jurors in his upcoming hush-money criminal trial, citing the former president's history of "threatening, inflammatory, denigrating" remarks about people involved in his legal cases.

Trump, the first current or former president to ever be criminally charged. History will not look kindly on him.
