In just a few minutes, Blanche was forced to admit he had no case law to support his position, that he was speculating on the motivation of witnesses, needled the judge with a statement about two systems of justice in this courtroom, and got a warning that he was losing all credibility with the court. And this is the guy Trump is counting on to lead this case over weeks of testimony.
In a lot of ways, any fine resulting from this morning is going to be the very least of the damage. This. Was. Brutal.
