Shortly Trump's lawyers will have gag orders as well. And Trump's lawyers once again will be needing lawyers.

They just can't help themselves.

During the testimony of Eric Trump in today's fraud trial in New York, Trump's lawyers attacked Judge Engoron's clerk again.
Trump has already been sanctioned twice by the judge for targeting his clerk, with a warning that if he does it again, he will likely face jail time. With Trump not attending his trial this week, his lawyers decided to do it for him.
Things got contentious when the prosecutor began to emphasize the number of times Eric Trump pled the 5th in his deposition. At one point, Trump's abrasive lawyer Christopher Kise made a comment about the Judge's law clerk, which resulted in the judge pounding his fist on the table.
Kise then absurdly claimed that he has a "First Amendment right" to criticize the judge's clerk. (Lawyers do not have a right to say whatever they want during a trial). Kise then said that he couldn't possibly be a misogynist since he was "happily married" and had a 17 year old daughter.
Alina Habba then chimed in to claim that the reason why they were attacking the clerk was because it appeared to them that the judge was just doing whatever his clerk told him to do. That didn't seem to make things better.
For some reason.
Judge Engoron warned Trump's attorneys: "Do not refer to my staff again. She's a civil servant."
Every lawyer who has ever hung up a shingle knows that the very last thing you ever want to do is upset or attack a judicial assistant or court clerk. Team Trump simply doesn't understand the most basic things you need to do to win an argument with persuasion in a court of law. Any court of law.
Or they simply don't care.
