What did the judge mean by fooling 12 New Yorkers. Does he mean people that don’t like Trump? Does he mean New York personnel, are different than the rest of the country there should be a mistrial just because of that statement I think

He means twelve people familiar with decades and decades of Trump crimes as a slumlord and bankrupt of course. There isn't a contractor in that city was not stiffed by Trump at some point.

Remove the judge. Witness needs to tell ALL the truth. The judge don’t get to pick what to tell the jurors. Let the witness speaks. The judge has no rights to stop the proceedings and sends everyone out of the courtroom.
