The day after a jury found him guilty of 34 felony counts, Donald Trump accelerated his attacks on the judge in the trial, Juan Merchan, calling him “a devil.”
That was just the latest rhetoric Trump has used against the jurist — superlatives that would make you think that Merchan was a mix of Pontius Pilate and Mills Lane.
In fact, many journalists who covered the trial say that he was stern, even-keeled and professional.
But it will be difficult for the public to see for themselves how the judge acted. The Trump trial was not allowed to be televised or broadcast in any way, despite the stakes and the historical importance, and despite the rather predictable post-verdict battle to define exactly what happened in the courtroom.
As one prominent correspondent put it, “There is no visual record of what is going on. People can fill in the blanks.”
