I mean, you have the world watching."[14][5]"
Derrick Evans has lost the primary in WV. He was trying to become a U.S. Representative. He was convicted of rioting at the Capitol. He had just started his job as a delegate in the WV legislature when he went to the Capitol to riot and badly damaged his career.
Former Capitol police officer, Harry Dunn, also lost a primary in MD yesterday. He was at the Jan. 6 riot defending Congress against people like Derrick Evans.
Trump's gang were in the second row and staring at Cohen during his testimony. It's Trump's way of trying to intimidate witnesses. Trump is having his associates talk about Cohen because he is restricted by the gag order.
The way Trump has behaved at his criminal hush money trial in NY is indirect evidence of his guilt in the eyes of the jury. They may be realizing that Trump is always looking for ways to circumvent regulations and laws. The under the table hush money to Stormy Daniels is an example. He violated the gag order ten times and was fined $10,000 by Judge Merchan. He brought his associates into the courthouse to badmouth witnesses like Cohen to circumvent the gag order. Trump grunted and shook his head when some of the witnesses testified against him. All of this makes Trump look bad to the jury.
Trump trial illustrates conduct most unbecoming - UPI.com excerpt: "May 16 (UPI) -- The New York trial of former President Donald Trump is, at best, a national embarrassment. But whether you are pro or against Trump, for acquittal or conviction or see the court case as a travesty, one conclusion is inescapable. Donald Trump's conduct is and has been most unbecoming for his entire career. Trump denies having had a sexual affair with porn actress Stormy Daniels. He cannot deny however, having been systematically promiscuous for decades. During his first marriage to Ivanka Trump, he lived with and then married Marla Maples amidst intense media coverage. And then he let Marla go."

International embarrassment. And probably more of an overseas embarrassment than a domestic one, considering the decline of appeal to rational thinking, morality, and law and order that has occurred politically in the U.S. during the past nine years.
Speaker Mike Johnson echoes Trump's 'frustration' with cases and believes threats to his gavel are behind him excerpt: “No one can get in except law enforcement. Why would they make such a large perimeter? Yes, he’s the former president, but he has a full security detail as he goes about the country,” the speaker said. “The reason they did that, I believe, is part of the political purposes of this. They don’t want supportive crowds to be seen in favor of President Trump. I think it’s part of the strategy and I just think it’s a travesty of justice.”
Someone lit himself on fire in the protest area across the street from the courthouse and died later. Considering that incident and the violence Trump's supporters wielded at the Capitol and Trump's unwillingness to control them and chastise them, and, instead, coddle them as victims, law enforcement at the courthouse must take appropriate measures to maintain safety.
