Someone (perhaps a smart lawyer) needs to take the entire body weight off of "judge" Arthur Engoron's feet by introducing him to the nearest tree. If his scheme succeeds the plan and method to finish America becomes set in Concrete.

He doesn't have that much power. NYC does need a good housecleaning and I hope this case against Trump blows up in his face. Meanwhile, back in Atlanta, I hope Fani is toast.

The portion of the hearing that I watched were appalling and to refer to the judge as "able" is too kind.. His conflict was obvious in that he allowed her to command the room.

Maybe. But my read is not that the judge let her command the room, but let her make a fool of herself in order to support the decision he's already reached to disqualify her.

I certainly hope that will be the end result

FTA "Fanny Fani slept with the guy the day she met him, long before she hired him and maybe before she spoke to him." Glenn, if dozens of Democrats weren't on Twitter/X defending this trashy woman, I would be laughing out loud. Yes, imho also, she is lying through her teeth. And doing so brazenly. I'm increasingly convinced that Democrats will support absolutely anyone they're told to support.

Thanks for the opportunity to look up a new (to me) word that so eloquently describes what most of us not-so-learned readers would just call “fat-a$$ed.”

"...steatopygiatic Fanny Fani..." --> Hilarious!

It seems to me that you just don’t understand black culture. Please don’t make me have to explain it to you. Perhaps you’ll do better with Judge Engoron and New York Jewish culture . . . .

There is no black culture in Amerika, just global Marxist manipulated culture.

Having lived in the Atlanta area for some time, I can say with little fear of contradiction that Fani's sense of ethics fit comfortably with those of Fulton County government.

Glenn: Almost lost bowel control when I saw "Steatopygiatric" to describe Fawn-ee! BUT, I seriously doubt that judge will do ANYTHING to her, unfortunately! I REALLY hope I'm wrong, but the "R-card" will be played furiously, as it already has!

OK, whenever you think life has been unfair, consider this: No one has nicknamed you "Pigmeat."

Remember seeing Pigmeat Markham on the old "Laugh-in" program.

My wife and I were watching the news about 'her' testimony and my wife complained about the video loop showing 'her' walking to the stand.

'She' gave new meaning to the 'Hottentot bustle'.

LOL

That was some weapons grade snarky and sarcasm. Really enjoyed the ride.

She is a piece of work, yes? What has surprised me so far, unless I've missed it, is that with a judge who happens to be white and she's black that the race hustle hasn't jumped out. It may later but hasn't happened yet. By the way, I knew black guys in the '80's and '90's who used the expression "Baby got back" in describing a "steatopygiatic" woman or in colloquial terms, big butt. Finally, my one lawyer joke. "Why don't sharks bite lawyers? Professional courtesy."

Did you know that the judge worked for Fanny in the DA's office?

Richard Baker's avatar

Yes, I was aware of that. If she is let off scot-free one would wonder about the possibility of an incestuous legal relationship. Hopefully he will be dispassionate but this connection should have caused the judge to recuse himself. Finally, there is also the possibility that he knows her as she really is and can see through the charade.

The judge has to go before the voters in Fulton County that is majority black and the Democrat Party is dominant. He will let her slide to get re-elected.

Excellent analysis, Glenn, but I believe the name of the person in question is most properly pronounced "FONEY", with a long "O" sound. Eponyms can be so useful, don't you think?

excellent insight in that world and i appreciate the writers humor but i just can't trust a judge that used to work for the gal he is judging, regardless of his or her's politics.

I am kind of astounded, listening to her, that she made it through college, law school, and the bar exam.

Not only does this overloaded county court DA lie in court, she stands b4 God in a church congregation & lies there too. I see a double whammy judgment coming to carry her load away. And it can't happen soon enough.
