The Costello Blowup: All spectators were cleared except...Trump lackey Alan Dershowitz

Dershowitz wrote that he was the only person not evicted; that he doesn't know why he was allowed to remain. He wrote that Merchan's conduct toward Robert Costello was the most outrageous thing he had ever seen. Memo to Merchan if there's a next time.

Be that as it may, the behavior of the Fourth Estate was to me, reading the cold record, the most outrageous, much more contumacious than Costello's. You be the judge:






The media is a privileged, pampered bunch. If Costello, or Dershowitz, or Trump; or any member of the prosecution; or any member of the defense, had disrupted the Court and disobeyed the court's officer at the direction of the judge, in the manner that numerous members of the media did, they would have been held in contempt and jailed. They should have been.
