You know, I’m sure others have noted this, but when someone goes on trial in a criminal case, you usually see the defendant’s family in the courtroom, whether it’s the spouse, or his siblings or children, to provide support.

None of that was present on day 1 of Trump’s criminal case (or on nearly all of his prior appearances in court). They are letting Trump hang out to dry, which is particularly telling. They are not even trying to show support for the leader of their crime family.

Even mobsters had family in court to provide support.
