N.Y. judge says he'll bar Trump Org.'s selective prosecution claim

7. It's really not a hard call.

There is no evidence that prosecutors have any particular animus toward Trump. (I will concede that anyone with two brain cells to rub together has some degree of animus toward Trump.) If there was any such evidence it would be irrelevant - there is no germane fact in dispute that such evidence would make more or less likely. Irrelevant evidence is not admissible. Reference by counsel to matters not in evidence is improper.

At this point, arguments by counsel that the judge has ruled improper would be contempt of court.
