And Andrew Celli is incredibly unprepared to present this case.

Totally unprepared to make the case. Delays responding...rustling papers etc..

Pretty sure I could do a better job of making this case.

1. Really disorganized. Judge looks like he's had it with the lot of them. nt

2. Is the judge hostile, or impatient?

I have seen lawyers get blasted out of court (in legal terms, not dramatically) because they were not prepared. Those lawyers would say, "the judge was against me". My thought was, "was he really though?, or was it that you seemed to be wasting everyone's time?"

Judges don't like their time wasted. They don't like unprepared attorneys. Especially if it is something serious like keeping someone's name off a ballot.

This is likely the main reason the DOJ is so slow at bringing charges against Trump. Such a high profile case would certainly be a disaster for a prosecution that is unprepared with iron clad evidence.

7. Granted...

He might be irritated or impatient. Fair point made.

3. And, this is about which hearing? nt

5. I think it's the hearing on MTG's possible removal from the 2022 ballot in GA. nt

8. Corrected to clarify...n/t

4. That's not the way I see it,

he's laying the foundation so far to catch her in several lies and I think he's doing a marvelously job so far.

6. I've not seen any of the proceedings but interrogation of a witness is often a kabuki dance.

The judge and jury are often bored until the trap is sprung.

9. Lies about what...

If he has hard evidence of engagement (as opposed to sympathetic tweets), his line of questioning would be different.

10. I'm just voicing my opinion,

nothing more, nothing less.
