I can’t tell you how many lawyers have approached me saying they are shocked Judge Juan Merchan did not recuse himself and pass the trial to another judge - and I think? Why are these lawyers such cowards that they won’t speak up publicly? Every lawyer knows it is the “appearance of impropriety” - I would never hire a lawyer who is a coward

@greta, the appearance of impropriety doesn’t refer to what Fox News watchers believe based on watching Sean Hannity. It’s based in the judge’s ownconduct to a reasonable observer. (See C2 of NY Bar’s Code of Judicial Conduct) Here, there are no facts to support that Judge Merchan has shown any impropriety. And his daughter’s conduct can’t be imputed to him without a basis in facts. ~from a lawyer.
@CameronTousi @greta I’m a reasonable observer and don’t watch Fox News. Just a 65+ widow who’s been to hell and back. This Sir, is what you see in hell.
@CameronTousi @greta From a clownishly biased lawyer you meant
@CameronTousi @greta Actually, new York state law states specifically that a judge or prosecutor must be six times removed from said "appearance" of impropriety. His daughter is level 2, he is level 1. See how that works??? He still needs 4 more levels to meet state law threshold of distance.
@CameronTousi @greta Cam, what color is the sky in your world?
@CameronTousi @greta An actual lawyer would know this is a conflict of interest....but when you are "getting Trump" anything goes, right!!! 🖕🤡
