   Of course, there is widespread interest in this proceeding, so it should be made public.  ..But that would required dignity, honor and
    truth..to come from the Manhattan DA's office..and Democrats in general.

  What's the chances?

As I understand it, this was at the request of the Trump defense team.

[ironglow]

  Maybe they are afraid that if they opened the doors, the kangaroos would escape..

And you understand it correctly.

Exactly, Trump does not want a circus type atmosphere. Nothing to do about the judge.

can someone show a link to trump asking for it. this was in the fox article

 In the request, District Attorney Alvin Bragg, on behalf of the people of New York, argued the presence of cameras in the courtroom "raises a number of concerns."

personally i think the libs dont want the world to see this sham

[Goldie]

I guess I should clarify my remark about the judge. He in fact made the ruling of no reporters except 5 taking pictures. But Trumps lawyers have been asking for no video allowed reported by quite a few news sources.

From "The Hill":

New York Judge Juan Merchan ruled on Monday night that a handful of photographers will be allowed to take pictures in the courtroom where former President Trump will be arraigned on Tuesday, but he will not allow video cameras, according to reports.

Merchan issued his ruling after Trump’s legal team argued against having cameras in the court room, saying that it would create a “circus-like” atmosphere. The decision, reported by ABC News and MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, said that five still photographers would be allowed in the courtroom for several minutes before being vacated from the room.

sorry but not according to the news. they said the judge made the decision not defence and we all know which side there on. its the defense and district attorney that would be crushed if they allowed this circus to be open for all america to see. the judge did it for two reasons to hide the truth and he knew if the real truth was on tv there would be riots in the streets and even the idiots like you would have to admit this was a sham like the russian collusion and impeachment and a waste of millions in tax payers money that could have been used to go after the real criminals. but i guess they dont do that anyway. that your opinion is that it was trumps choice just shows everyone that its just more bs pushed by the left and news agencys like msnbc and cnn both whos very survival is hanging on trump. if he went away today they would be off the air in a week. its  suckers like you that keep them hanging by a thread

I'm gonna say that it's all over the news I watch that the Trump team didn't want the media in the court room.

AS TO RIOTS, THATS EXACTLY WHAT THE LEFT WANTS TRUMP SUPPORTERS TO DO. BIDEN WOULD BE ON THE TUBE EVERYDAY TALKING ABOUT THE "MAGA REPUBLICANS".

[Lloyd Smale]

can you show me. fox said it was the judge and nothing about trump requesting it. matter of fact if you watched the coverage one of  trumps lawyer on the way out made a crack about it

[Dee]

can you shoe me. fox said it was the judge and nothing about trump reqesting it. matter of fack if you watched the coverage one of  trumps lawyer on the way out made a crack about it

No I can't.

[Lloyd Smale]

my guess is it was just some bs drummed up news by that prosecutor and judge so they could claim it wasnt their idea. their the ones that would really have something to worry about if it was televised.

[Dee]

Well that's the point Lloyd. It's all "a guess". Media is seldom allowed in courtrooms, and for good reason. They're disruptive.

Court arraignment generally are pretty boring, where charges are read, and pleas are entered, and bail is set. Your not gonna learn much there, and it ain't gonna be settled there.

 This is going to be another money wasting sickening Adam Shciff scam,  with all the Horse apples he can throw at the wall

Its a waste of money unless you're a Democrat. If you're a Democrat its a matter of generating propaganda, covering up corruption, and maintaining, and accruing more power.

[Lloyd Smale]

i can see it with the democratic politicians but youd think there voters would be pisses at them waisting tax money just to give those politicians there 5 minutes of fame and a chance to get on tv

Democrats, and many Republicans, have no concept of taxpayers money being wasted. The taxpayers are their "cash cow".

[Lloyd Smale]

youd think those dumb ass libs would be pissed there wasting that money and letting real felons walk

sorry but not according to the news. they said the judge made the decision

Of course the judge made the decision, he's the only one that can decide what happens or doesn't in his courtroom.  But, as reported in many news outlets, it was at the request of the Trump defense team.

[Goldie]

Exactly, the judge makes the decision. pretty simple to me also.

[Lloyd Smale]

not what his lawyer said leaving the court room. no doubt fabricated by the liberal news to make it look like hes trying to hide something. someone on the left planted this see and watched it grow. come tell me when it comes out of trumps mouth or his lawyers. until then its fake news
