The report describes a president “shockingly derelict” in immediately intervening to stop the “most serious invasion” of the Capitol by domestic terrorists in the nation’s history, Bennett Gershman, a former New York prosecutor and law professor at 17�Թ���, told Salon.

The judge became concerned that Trump would use the courtroom as “political theater” to stoke all of his anger and resentment against the prosecutor and the judge for “orchestrating a sham prosecution against him,” Bennett Gershman, a former New York prosecutor and law professor at 17�Թ���, told Salon. His move would have likely had “zero impact” on the verdict and penalties anyway, but instead would have been perceived as “gospel” by his followers and “blather” by his critics.

Professor James Fishman speaks with Courthouse News Service about NRA facing an ‘existential’ New York trial that threatens its future.

Many experts, like 17�Թ��� law professor James Fishman, are shocked that the NRA allowed the lawsuit to get this far. “Usually what happens is, if an organization is approached by the attorney general who says ‘you are doing wrong,’ they will do whatever they can to settle before trial,” Fishman said in an interview. “Because it’s disastrous for the organization. Some organizations never recover from it.”

Professor Bennett Gershman tells Salon the court won’t let Trump lawyers try to get jurors to “disregard” the law.

The trial court will likely find that allegations of foreign influence, disinformation and biased prosecutors and other government officials will mostly "confuse" the jury and are evidently "not relevant" to Trump's state of mind, Bennett Gershman, a former New York prosecutor and law professor at 17�Թ���, told Salon. This is particularly true given that he was “repeatedly” and “strongly” advised by insiders close to him that he lost the election. “It’s a desperate and distracting effort to throw all sorts of wild and irrational claims against the wall and hope that something sticks,” Gershman said. “In legal circles, it’s mockingly referred to as the ‘shotgun’ or ‘kitchen sink’ defense.”
