Lindsey Halligan Still Cosplaying as U.S. Attorney

I see Grampy is still reading from his printouts from the Internets.
He gets multiple copies of each fawning headline, and doesn’t notice the repetition.
Blanche’s scowl is so consistent from day to day it almost looks photoshopped. Someone should do a flip book using his face as the anchor. (Though of course the anchor on his soul is standing to his right.)
I think he practiced it in the mirror, styling on Trump’s jailhouse Atlanta photo. Makes Trump think he has a macho attorney. Also he failed at attempting the Roy Cohn sneer.

Judge threatened to strike Costello’s entire testimony, transcripts show

The Washington Post has more details on the courtroom chaos caused by Costello on Monday. After the judge, Juan Merchan , removed the media from the courtroom, he told Costello his “conduct is contemptuous”, court transcripts show.
He also told Costello he would remove him as a witness if he did not change his behavior. “If you try to stare me down one more time, I will remove you from the stand. I will strike this entire testimony; do you understand me?”
Trump’s attorney Emil Bove answered for Costello, saying: “Yes Judge. I understand.”
Costello then tried to make a comment, to which Merchan replied: “No. No. This is not a conversation.”
