If you are in the courtroom, the judge can tell your lawyer to ask you a question to get information. If you're not, the judge can't.

Unless he had someone appear for him? But if he just fully blew it off he must not take it seriously or it was a pretrial thing that doesn’t really require attendance. If none of the above I revert back to my gif.

Your earlier tweet was spot on: it was a message for someone. Someone Cohen cares about a lot more than a federal judge.
