At this point in time finding Donald Trump guilty of anything, any crime at all, is just a matter of Judge Juan Merchan following through on expectations.
The entire world is watching what happens in New York City through the prism of ridiculous lawfare and politics. No intellectually honest observers believe this is a trial about substance, guilt, criminal activity or innocence therein. The illusion of a nonprejudicial justice system has long past and everyone can see the extreme politicization taking place in Judge Merchan’s courtroom.
Finding President Trump guilty of a crime is seemingly a foregone conclusion. Even the White House is saying Joe Biden will deliver remarks to the nation from the official executive office as soon as the guilty verdict is delivered {SEE HERE}.
Judge Merchan has yet to release the public version of jury instructions, however he previously decided last week that the jurors do not need to agree on a predicate crime in order to fund President Trump guilty of trying to hide one.
{SOURCE}
Yes, you read that correctly…. The jurors do not need to believe a crime was committed in order to convict Trump of unlawfully hiding a crime he never committed. Let that insufferable Lawfare logic sink in.
I think the whole argument about the “predicate crime” may be a smoke screen designed to pull attention away from the actual crime that President Trump is being charged with; specifically, falsification of business records with the intent of committing (or covering up) another crime. There are several key points that were NOT proven by the prosecution: 1) were there actually business records, 2) were the records false, and 3) was President Trump responsible for falsifying them.
Regarding #1, the documentary evidence shows that all of the payments were made from PDJT’s revocable trust or personal bank account. Wouldn’t that make all of these payments personal expenses and the Cohen invoices personal records?
Secondly, which records were false? The G/L entries that coded the payments as legal expenses, or the invoices submitted by Cohen stating they were for legal services? If the coding matches what the invoices say, then the expenses were recorded correctly and it would have to be the invoices were false. Was it proven beyond a reasonable doubt that the services provided by Cohen were NOT legal services? Based on what evidence? Was there any expert testimony establishing that the payments to Cohen should have been coded in a different manner?
Finally, those invoices were prepared and sent by Cohen. Was any evidence presented that PDJT directed Cohen to label the invoices as legal services? If they were false, it would have been Cohen’s responsibility unless proven beyond a reasonable doubt that PDJT was responsible for how they were described and classified.
I fully expect the defense to hammer on the reasonable doubt aspect of the nature and character of these payments during closing arguments. I’m sure the prosecution will issue an objection for every valid point and the judge will sustain every objection. However, only a couple of jurors with intellectual honesty are needed to prevent an unjust conviction. Time will tell whether the entire jury has been compromised.
Very good points. Thank you.
Not sure a prosecutor can object during final summation.
Usually the prosecution goes 1st and the defense summation is last. That gives the edge to the defense as it should, certainly in a criminal case.
We do need at least one honest jurist. I would expect that the 2 lawyer jurists can see quite clearly that the prosecution did not make their case, really at all, but certainly not beyond a reasonable doubt.
An honest jury would never convict anyone based on the frivolous evidence presented by the prosecution and then the 2 totally unbelievable primary witnesses the prosecution put forward. It IS a disgraceful case against ANY person, let alone a POTUS.
I’m not sure either whether the prosecution can object during the defense closing arguments. I would think as a general rule that objections would be allowed if a party referred to excluded evidence or made representations of law contrary to the judge’s instructions. Even if objections are not typically allowed, you can bet this judge will allow them.
Thank you! My thoughts exactly; you stated it better than I did.
BUT will either of the lawyers on this particular case have the moral fortitude to hang the jury? Or, are they so infected with “Orange Man Bad” syndrome that they will simply go along to get along? I have to admit that I think that the fix has been in from the beginning and a guilty verdict is a foregone conclusion at this point…
Yes, I worry about the 2 lawyer jurists.
Their opinions in the jury room would be persuasive.
Are they plants? They very well may be. It is certainly unusual for lawyers to be on a jury.
Their reputations as lawyers are at stake so DO they want to act in bad faith as lawyers? They know the prosecution has no case. They would also know that the judge’s jury instruction is blatantly biased against the defendant and nonsensical.
I believe the only reason this is a criminal case and not a civil misdemeanor is bc of the underlying allegedly criminal act… that remains undisclosed. That alone is very bizarre.
Is it possible that the prosecution simply screwed up and let them onto the jury? That seems unlikely but stranger things have happened…my son is a police officer and a defense attorney completely missed that information on my jury questionnaire, much to his dismay and chagrin when he realized it, too late. Ironically, it was the fact that I was a former banker and knew a LOT about how to verify signatures that persuaded the rest of the jury to convict his client but nevertheless, justice was served!
I have no idea how anyone who has actually taken, and passed, the bar exam could vote to convict someone who hasn’t actually been charged with any specific crime but we are living in upside down world, and it is Manhattan, so nothing that happens this wee will surprise me, TBH!
No, it’s not a mistake that both the prosecution and defense let these 2 lawyers on the jury.
My guess is that the defense believes that as lawyers they will be able to easily see that the prosecution has no case.
The prosecution may know these lawyers are anti-trumpers and may know they are “controllable” blackmailable, etc.
The Court staff creates the pool of people to be considered for juries.
It is supposed to be a totally neutral non-subjective process. Is it?
Were these 2 lawyers deliberately selected to be in the jury pool to ensure a conviction? Maybe. Based on the severe corruption of this case and judge, they are likely plants… but…
How far are they willing to go? Are they really willing to destroy their own reputations?
To find PDJT guilty, that’s what they’re gonna have to do – destroy their reputations as competent ethical lawyers.
But… can these lawyers remain anonymous after the verdict?
If I were a cynical person (oh, wait, I AM!) I would suspect that the prosecution let two attorneys onto the jury because it would give them cover to say “Well, even people who have passed the bar believe that DJT committed a crime, even though, of course, they can’t tell you what it is!”
So yes, the fact that the defense let them BOTH slid through Voir dire tells me that they must have already known HOW they would vote…
Money changes everything
yes, it can.
may I please inject/refortify the principle that moral righteous cause can be financed by money without the sloth.ful / / lust of money itself.
this IS what I find repulisive: that the lust of money ALONE drives the interest.
this is heresy against the revealed truth. that the truth is not up for sale. it FINISHES COMPLEAT when it registers the truth with NO AMOUNT OF MONIES.
the truth, you see IS like a lion…an apex Beast (of sorts) that cannot he bought one sold.
it reveals a deeper truth, when free to reign over the safari
In some circles, it would destroy their reputations if they DIDN’T find him guilty.
Lawyers are more often leftist than I used to realize. And these are lawyers who live and presumably practice in Manhattan.
So… probably not good. Unless one of them has the nerve and intellectual honesty of a Dershowitz.
It has been my experience that even before DEI, some real idiots apperently pass the bar.
NOT saying ALL Lawyers are idiots, but plenty of them are.
The fact that Biden has already announced that he will “address the Nation, as ‘President'” following the verdict is very telling.
Agreed – it is clear that Joe’s speechwriters have already prepared an angry screed for him to deliver so I am assuming that they have been given assurance that a guilty verdict is imminent…
No, they just write two speeches; one for if the verdict is guilty, one if Not Guilty,…actually 3 speeches one if the jury is “Hung”.
Yes, that’s scary.
It tells everyone that the verdict has already been determined.
OTOH…Biden will look like the fool he is by taking a victory dance here.
That whole prosecution crew should go straight to h*ll…

The nasal cartilage is ever expanding on these crones & warlocks.
Brazilian grifters.
That is false.
Testimony and evidence shows that a subordinate to Trump coded that as legal expenses as the bill from Cohen was from his practice. In fact, Cohen testified he lied about how much Trump really owed him and overcharged him.
It was NOT mislabeled. And Trump has no duty to correct Cohen for anything Cohen may or may not have done, or police Cohen on what he really did with the money. That is on Cohen.
What a croc.
I fully agree with you, the payments were not mislabeled and neither were the invoices. I’m just pointing out that if someone thinks the invoices were false, then Cohen (not PDJT) bears responsibility. I don’t think any evidence was presented that shows that anything was false. Hence, the actual charge is bogus.
Or, if the 2 lawyers on the jury are ethical and convince the rest there is no crime
Good luck with that, there’s an excellent chance they are leftist lawfare types who were inserted into the jury to push a conviction. But G-d works in mysterious ways…
90% of lawyers are Democrats scum of the earth. Shakespeare was right about lawyers….
Plus, is there a quid pro quo deal in place where these two get judgeships in exchange for convincing the rest of the jurors to vote for a guilty verdict?
The number 1, 2, and 3 points you made are well taken by me, and surely many others. However, the jurists are not even offered the points you make. The jury is being manipulated by the “Judge” and the prosecution; the defense lawyers are and have been shut down thus far. We must wait and see what the Defense offers – or is allowed to offer – to the jury on Tuesday during closing arguments.
Pray that there is at least one juror who sees through this LAWFARE and honors the Rules of Law.
My thought is that defense counsel intentionally steered the discussion on jury instructions away from the nature of the core charges so they could avoid adverse instructions which could limit their arguments to the jury. I have seen the same difference in focus with most of the online discussion on various web sites. Everyone seems to be focused on the outlandish absence of proof of the predicate charge that turns the actual charges into felonies. Only a few commenters seem to be pointing out that the actual charge itself is frivolous.
Would be great if there were sleepers in the jury. 😉
Great points, thanks for posting. Sadly, having worked in the legal profession in Nueva York for many years, I can tell you the truth about our legal system: a good lawyer knows the law, a great lawyer knows the judge.
This is very straightforward. That’s why the judge is pushing the idea that the jurors need not agree about the underlying crime, just that the coverup happened. The logic is dumb as hell and obfuscating that the case is pretending PDJT was covering up something that never happened.
Let’s be honest with ourselves. Rule of law is dead. There is no point in arguing legal theory.
Trump is screwed
Let’s not forget that Cohen admitted to defrauding Trump in the fraudulent transactions.
Remember its a twilight zone trial and logic is not employed. Imagination rules.😳
This is a show trial pure and simple. You trying to rationalize it as any thing else just shows how corrupt our country is.
You are approaching this from a thinking man’s point of view. They just want a conviction and they will get it no matter how absurd. Yes it will be reversed many months or years down the road but they will have achieved their goals. The propaganda media will constantly paint Trump as a convicted criminal. What happens after the conviction is anybodies guess. It’s hard to anticipate insane minds.
Thank you!
I am so angry I can barely see straight.
TRUMP 2024!
We just re-watched The Ten Commandments from 1956.
The movie begins with Cecil B. DeMille giving a rather amazing speech, which opens with the following words:
“The theme of this picture is whether men ought to be ruled by God’s law or…the whims of a dictator. This same battle continues throughout the world today.”
DeMille, of course, in 1956, was thinking of the Communist dictators in the 1950’s (e.g. Mao Tse-Tung), and recalling Hitler and Mussolini.
Of whom do we think today?
The whims of this terrible judge, the unconstitutional ukases of The Manchurian Marionette and his unconstitutional deputies, and the plans of The Deep State are what we face today.
DeMille’s words resonate today more than ever, more perhaps than during The Cold War in 1956.
What will rule us today, the U.S. Constitution rooted in the Judaeo-Christian Tradition, or the demonic “whims of dictators” infecting our government today?
Yes… those words and fears are more real today b/c today this is occurring now in our country.
Indeed!
Here is the speech by Cecil B. DeMille:
Note the comment from 2 months ago: the writer had the same reaction we did!
“ Just re-watched the movie yesterday. Never before have those words of Mr. DeMille rung so true than now, in 2024.”
I do hope everyone understands, the Judge, DA, Prosecution can openly be arrested under RICO along time ago yet nobody, not even Trump or his lawyers point this out. Also, all parties, prosecution/defense hide the truth of the narrative, Stormy/Cohen is a NXIVM revenge product being secondly leveraged in this faux trial. Slowly, they’re rewriting history, remolding your reality and everyone just seems to go along.
The upcoming election at this point is a sideshow and predicates only whether they will attack us w/the full power of the presidency or indirectly via lawfare/antifa/ 3 letter agencies. Win/lose or draw, the jig is up, they have to win at all cost or die trying and they aren’t inhibited my morals/law.
I hope they go the route of “die trying”…I’m ready to serve my country.
Sadly this has been going on for far longer than most people realized, unless you were on the short end of one of their sticks. You are correct. The jig is up.
and still we do nothing
We? Do you have a mouse in your pocket, or something?
Why are you not surprised? Anyway, a conviction would not be disqualifying; certainly not to a Democrat. I give you James Michael Curley, Democrat House of Representatives member, governor of Massachusetts, and 4-time mayor of Boston, who served time in Federal prison during his last term as mayor. From Wikipedia:
James Michael Curley (November 20, 1874 – November 12, 1958) was an American Democratic politician from Boston, Massachusetts. He served four terms as mayor of Boston from 1914 to 1955. Curley ran for mayor in every election for which he was legally qualified. He was twice convicted of criminal behavior and notably served time in prison during his last term as mayor. He also served a single term as governor of Massachusetts. He is remembered as one of the most colorful figures in Massachusetts politics.
Machusett people aren’t totally wrong/bad, the missing “ass” part are the elected!
What can we do other than vote? Obviously we can’t and shouldn’t discuss our options on this open forum but do we really have any options anyway? I think most of us, including me, have no idea.

What is your definition of action?
“Yes, you read that correctly…. The jurors do not need to believe a crime was committed in order to convict Trump of unlawfully hiding a crime he never committed. Let that insufferable Lawfare logic sink in.”
“Someone must have been telling lies about Joseph K., for without having done anything wrong he was arrested one fine morning.”
Franz Kafka, “The Trial”
When Peter Navarro was arrested and placed in leg irons he said—at the age of 72—he had finally come to understand Kafka. In Kafka’s “The Trial,” Josef K is under arrest, but he is never told what he did wrong. Peter is now living a Kafkaesque nightmare in jail.
Andrew Weissman predicted more than a year ago that the trial would take place now, just ahead of the election. He wrote an article, which was an open letter to Alvin Bragg.
The piece was written from his senior fellow position at Reiss Law Center NYU—a think tank for the Democrat Party, and the National Security establishment. Reiss also includes senior fellow Lisa Monaco.

Bootstrapping a federal crime (which never happened or was never charged and whose statute of limitations if it had been charged has run out) to a concocted state violation is a devious connivance of LawFare that is typical of his scheming.
The quote is not what Sundance repeated. A “unanimous verdict”. Is Merchan hoping for a hung jury? That’s the best he can hope for, given his bias.
Everybody commentong about a “Hung Jury” WTF?
First off, I thought we weren’t supposed to advocate violence in our comments, but if anyones gonna be hung, shouldn’t it be the Judge?
Oh,….never mind.
I hope you relay your post (verbatim) to the Trump Lawyers and advise them to take this to the Supreme Court.
This is an egregious contempt against the rules of US law.
Very much deserving of swinging from a lamp post!

This certain guilty verdict will never survive appeal, but will accomplish election interference. Just not the election interference Biden and his Democrat friends had hoped to accomplish. Biden and his Democrat friends have miscalculated,…again.
Their fatal flaw is that they ALWAYS oversell their fake product to the point that even diehard Democrats call them out!
Hoisted in their own petard, as per the norm.
In Columbia yes, in America no, not now, not ever..
I predict the jury will find him not guilty as charged. This was just a show trial to begin with, it was to keep our president off the campaign trail.
How did that work out?
This trial shows the need to deport the judge!
Reminds me of the fake trials of Jesus with the Sanhedran and Pontius Pilate.
Remember in the Gore v. Bush battle, Justice Sandra Day O’Connor said, ‘This cannot happen’ and she stepped in and stopped it and the Supremes declared Bush the winner. That was peanuts compared to this. Who, today, has the clout to step up and stop this lawfare madness being perpetrated against President Trump? It is blatantly obvious to everyone everywhere what is going on. HOW can it be allowed to continue? WHO is going to stop it?!
As Gore v. Bush started and everyone was screaming about Florida and the hanging chads, I never heard anyone talk about the jackass in the room.
You are from a storied family of your state, your father was a US Senator, you were a US Congressman, US Senator, 2 term Vice President. Yet when you run for President of The United States, you can’t carry your home state of Tennessee. If Gore had carried his home state it would not have mattered who Florida went to, he would have been President.
Hell, even Mondale carried his home state. I think it was the only state, but he carried it.
Even Goldwater carried Az.
Deep State is making DJT into a 2nd Daniel.

Ah mais oui
When the “law” is this corrupted, the only option is to ignore the criminals abusing the law and do whatever YOU think is best and refuse to submit to the organized crime bosses who have taken over. NOTHING should be off the table when the criminals have taken over.
The social contract between the people and the government of the United States of America has been broken and the abused parties can feel free to do whatever they want. Nobody has an obligation to cooperate with outlaws.
When the judiciary is corrupt, remedies are extrajudicial.
‘Political bands’,
I believe, were the terms used…
Trust God. Fear not.
If Republicans were half a man they would have a person of interest all cued up to prosecute say in Texas or somewhere it’s a slam dunk. Time to take off the gloves boys. This is the biggest degradation of justice ever attempted and more is coming. Punishment must be available if they pull this off. Clearly voting is not going to get us all out of this mess.
Exactly. Until DA’s and AG’s in red states start giving Democrats there the same treatment that Trump is getting, this will only get worse.
The Republican party is not what it pretends to be.
The Republican party is “all in” on this election interference, so the idea that Republican A.G.’s would fight this is absurd.
Watch how they use PDJT’S “conviction” at the Convention, to try to withhold the nomination from him
You seem to be assuming the Republicans are on your side.
Greta Nan Susteren disagrees with Judge Merchan and cites 1999 Supreme Court Case of Richardson v. Unites States that holds ther must be unanimity by the jury to come to a guilty verdict.
step one deliver a guilty verdict at any cost. Step 2 retire a couple more GOP sabotuers and pay them well. Step 3 deliver the speakership to Nancy and Hakim. Step 4 declare Trump ineligible. Mark my words…
Nope, your words are wrong.
I’ve worked in accounting a long time. I’ve never seen or created a general ledger account called hush money. When we paid money to an employee to go away, which we definitely did, it was coded/ recorded as legal expense.
Congress has a “HUSH MONEY” fund using taxpayers money to silence sexual assault accusations against House members and they use your money…and the payments are kept secret!
Why isn’t that a crime?
Horse manure. It’s the job of the prosecution to prove that a crime has been committed, what specific crime that is, and the evidence they have that proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the person committed that crime. This is the BS run by the liberals: “The nature of the evidence is irrelevant; it’s the seriousness of the charge that matters.”*
*Quote by Rush Limbaugh
This is the BS run by the liberals: “The nature of the evidence is irrelevant; it’s the seriousness of the charge that no longer matters.”
OTOH imagine the significance of one juror voting for ‘not guilty’ = pure as snow
Publish who the jurors are so it becomes public knowledge!
None of this surprises me. This is the marxists only chance to get a conviction where there’s no chance for an appeal prior to the election. The Means Justify The Ends. There is no way these evil marxists will allow President Trump to not be convicted. I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t try to incarcerate him at least for a few days.
If all these legal scholars know this is all bullshit how on earth can no one step in and stop this? Does no one have jurisdiction to step in??
The price to convict Trump is “Any Cost!” Do you have that kind of money? I can’t print my own money like the government can!
That’s the likely outcome. Lock him up for a few days, with lots of pics in the orange jumpsuit for campaign purposes.
For Bidens handlers to leak that FJB is going to comment on the trial from the WH it tells me the fix is in, word has been received of a guilty verdict. One would imagine that even with as partisan a jury and hostile a judge as in this “case” that they would be at least one person in the jury with enough integrity to hold out and not lead the country down this horrible path but the left truly believes they are our moral and intellectual superiors and any means justifies their glorious virtuous ends. Biden is a vicious buffoon this kind of attack is bread and butter to him. And on top of all that they want to vprovoke an incident.
I dont see an acquittal or hung jury here….I desperately hope Im wrong.
A conviction gives the MSM the excuse it wants to always refer to President Trump as “Convicted Felon Donald Trump”. If the verdict is guilty, stand by for the MSM to saturate the airways with this and have every Trump-hater on-air denigrating him.
Grandpa, How did the second civil war start ?
Felony bookkeeping, young man, a difference in accounting techniques.
First one started that way too, who had it to count and who did not have it to count. Don’t be fooled by the official narrative. lol
“The entire world is watching“……….. to see if a New York jury really is as easily manipulated as a corrupt judge would have us believe.
The judge’s instructions should be enough to have him disbarred. This is clearly election interference. Arrest these people for violation of the RICO Act.
Trump will be exonerated. And the more unfairly they treat him, the greater his favorability rises. Ironically, they, masters of victimhood, are humanizing him by making him an actual victim. The Left always projects onto us what it does.
When this is over, I want the judicial system to strike back hard at the lawlessness within its ranks. People like Merchan, Bragg, James, Willis need to pay a very high professional price for what they are doing to this country and its rule of law.
If SCOTUS ruled as it did in the Richardson case below, I would think the same would apply here in the NY v. Trump case.

526 U.S. 813 (1999)
RICHARDSON
v.
UNITED STATES
No. 97-8629.
United States Supreme Court.
Argued February 22, 1999.
Decided June 1, 1999.
CERTIORARI TO THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE SEVENTH CIRCUIT
*814 Breyer, J., delivered the opinion of the Court, in which Rehnquist, C. J., and Stevens, Scalia, Souter, and Thomas, JJ., joined. Kennedy, J., filed a dissenting opinion, in which O’Connor and Ginsburg, JJ., joined, post, p. 825.
William A. Barnett, Jr., by appointment of the Court, 525 U.S. 959, argued the cause and filed briefs for petitioner.
Irving L. Gornstein argued the cause for the United States. With him on the brief were Solicitor General Wax- *815 man, Assistant Attorney General Robinson, Deputy Solicitor General Dreeben, and Joel M. Gershowitz.[*]
Justice Breyer, delivered the opinion of the Court.
A federal criminal statute forbids any “person” from “engag[ing] in a continuing criminal enterprise.” 84 Stat. 1264, 21 U.S. C. § 848(a). It defines “continuing criminal enterprise” (CCE) as involving a “violat[ion]” of the drug statutes where “such violation is a part of a continuing series of violations.” § 848(c). We must decide whether a jury has to agree unanimously about which specific violations make up the “continuing series of violations.” We hold that the jury must do so. That is to say, a jury in a federal criminal case brought under § 848 must unanimously agree not only that the defendant committed some “continuing series of violations” but also that the defendant committed each of the individual “violations” necessary to make up that “continuing series.”
Wish I could print how I really feel…These people are EVIL hateful snakes they should be ***** the planet and to hell.
Not going to be surprised with a New York jury finding President Trump guilty of whatever the judge tells them to find him guilty of –
the damage is actually to the entire judicial system, especially that based in New York State, and every single business owner in that State better take notice before they are the next to be caught up in the communist purge that is about to hit free America if this stands.
Praying that there is at least one, if not two, jurors that will stand on not guilty, but no breath holding here since FJB has already announced he will be giving a victory speech after the jury convicts President Trump.
Do these clowns not know what they are about to unleash on the American public?
I just wish President Trump did not quote Patrick Henry’s ‘Give me liberty or give me death’ the other night in his speech to the Libertarians. Gave me the heebeejeebees when he said that.
Juan Merchan and his lovely daughter are going to be famous. Being famous can be difficult, everywhere you go people recognize you. Not everyone who recognizes you may like you, especially if you do things that they think made their life more difficult. It may be the plumber you call, or the mechanic you take your car to, the Uber driver, or the Door Dash delivery guy.
I sure hope they become famous.
There’s no point in trying to argue the law in this or any of Trump’s other phony indictments. This is Republic ending lawlessness on the part of the communist left. The only question is will we the people continue to tolerate it. After watching the American people’s response to the covid scamdemic, I’m not sure the vast majority of Americans even want to be free.
I think sundance is exactly right on everything except one thing: most of the American people are NOT interested in this trial at all. I have no idea about the rest of the world but the people I know are so ignorant about political realities the government could tear up the constitution and create a different country. I do live in a state controlled by demonRATS for almost 100 years though.
Democrats never stray from their plan; they will succeed in getting a conviction only to have it blow up on them, it is really low-down city politics, they have no clue of the damage they do for PARTY power.
Go to Substack.com and read “Juan on the Run” about the corrupt judge.
Link please.
I just went to Substack.com and searched “Juan on the Run”….did not come up.
Just so you know.
In a CRIMINAL CASE!!! How does Merchan even think about trying to get away with that!!! But then lawfare doesn’t have ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE LAW and the rules are made up as they go along!!! 🥴
the lamestream is sure playing its part in this Color of Law Crime
I saw a video with a blonde news reporter that was saying there
is great evidence of a crime and a conviction is a slam dunk.
The Supreme Court could preempt this circus but won’t because they value their precious judicial process more than they value justice or even republican government.
The good news is that Merchan is engaging in outrageous rulings and creating looney concepts because he is desperate. The State clearly failed to present evidence for crimes by Trump (while the State’s witnesses showed themselves guilty of multiple crimes including perjury during this very trial). Merchan knows any convictions will be reversed on appeal LATER, so he does not care how perverse his rulings are; he’ll dance justice on its head to squeeze out a conviction NOW.
For instance this: Merchan has allowed the case to proceed to final arguments without the Defendant being put on notice of what “crime” he is accused of committing that would allow the reanimation of the dead “false businesss records” charges. This clearly deprived Trump of the ability to present a defense for a particular charge, thus violating Trump’s rights to due process under the 5th and 14th amendments.
This is the most overt case of judicial misconduct I know of. That Biden has already announced his intent to comment on the case is just abominable — he has been involved and part of this corrupt juggernaut since day one. We are headed to a serious national crisis. Correction. We are already there.
Another reason they are desparate for a conviction is that their other cases are falling apart.
I’m sorry, but I see way too many comments that still imply this is a functional nation.
The sooner everyone understands this the sooner we can win this.
Until then we’re all just pissing in the wind.
A pardon offer from Biden would be an interesting move. It’s been brought up by others and thought it’s to defang Trump in the campaign. I somehow doubt Trump would bite.
I expect guilty, with the pardon option immediately bubbling up in the media.
Learn more about things — the President of the United States can only pardon federal convictions. This is a NY state matter, only the governor of NY can issue a pardon for NY convictions.
Stop pretending! He will be found guilty and then on with the appeal. Biden from the Oval office with address the nation and say Trump has been found guilty by a jury of his peers. It all BS but will play on all the Networks.
Biden’s eagerly waiting for Trump’s “guilty” verdict. He will use it to get out of his upcoming debates with President Trump. Biden will tell the nation that he won’t debate a “convicted criminal”.
Twilight zone trial. We have entered the twilight zone where imagination rules and logic does not prevail.
And where it lasts for more than half an hour.
I saw this comming a mile away. Tag something, anything on PDJT and TDS Sufferers will make America a nation fractured beyond repair. Whatever Orwellian crime Trump is found guilty of will be editorialized, ridiculed on Late Night T.V, highlighted on Cyber News Publications to the point where the Trump’s presidency will be hamstring even worse than 2016. Bolsheviks and their enablers, are going full blown Scorched Earth.
I don’t think anybody with a functioning brain is going to give a damn what the left label Trump as . Actually, I think he will gain even more support because of it .
Unfortunately, we have tens of millions of people whose brains aren’t functioning due to TDS and cognitive dissonance. They will be impossible to coexist with.
Many millions will rejoice. They will celebrate the demise of the MAGA movement. They will rejoice when the constitution and the bill of rights are destroyed. They will rejoice when infanticide becomes the law of the land. They will rejoice when Christianity is crushed. They will rejoice when pedophilia is legalized. They will not know nor care about the loss of their freedoms as long as they can attend a Taylor Swift concert and watch the Kardashians on cable tv. The citizens of this country deserve what’s coming and I’m not sure I even care anymore. End of rant.
Donald Trump is guilty for just being alive and breathing. It is insane.
Even if Trump died he would be guilty in their eyes because Trump died before they could kill him.
Sounds about right. They are mentally insane people.
The underlying crime in all 4 cases against Trump is the crime of having defeated Hillary Goddam Clinton. All else is window dressing.
Let’s pray for the lawyer presenting the defense’s summation. May he present a pursuasive argument that will convince at least one juror and may that juror be filled with courage to do the right thing despite the pressure he or she feels.
The Democrat Party makes the Soviets look like pikers!
So basically all the jury needs to do is think that Trump deserves to be convicted of something in order to him of something. The idea that Below Average Joe will address the nation should sicken every American to their core. This was all a set-up; a hideous, Soviet style fraud. A conviction will signal the end of the United States.
I am so angry at what is going on with Trump. This is insane. Even though there is NO CRIME, the jury can judge him guilty if they feel like it, not mentioning any crime committed.
The jurors were pulled from a district were it is 85% demoncrappers. They will likely find him guilty and it will be appealed, wasting time and money, smearing him and KEEPING HIM FROM CAMPAIGNING and that is the real goal.
The graphic of Trump being in the lion’s den is so appropriate. I don’t know how he deals with this insanity.
Trump 2024
Hmm SD is exaggerating a bit😜 , the judge is saying the jury has to unanimously agree Trump falsified docs to commit or conceal a seperate crime.
The jury still has to believe Trump committed a predicate crime
I hope their kangaroo court falls apart completely. Trump 2024
Judge Merchan should be jailed. My opinion.
No crime committed but we somehow act as though this is a legitimate trial. Mind-boggling garbage is all it is. These people have more in mind than just shaming Trump or trying to shame Trump. I do believe they want him in prison and then Epstein him.
Na I can’t imagine many people accepting that Trump would commit suicide
