To see just how insane this trial was at the direction of the New York District Attorney Alvin Bragg and corrupt Judge Juan Merchan you can take a look at the jury instructions [55-Page pdf HERE]. The jury instructions are a Lawfare construct assembled by Judge Merchan to frame deliberations against President Trump. Read them to see how crazy they are.
After the Judge ended a half day of jury deliberations, President Trump gave a short interview to Dan Bongino. Interestingly at the 12:33 point, Bongino notes the importance of the Attorney General position in the next administration. President Trump immediately says he made two bad choices in that position in the prior administration. WATCH:
.
The world is waiting to see the outcome of these jury deliberations. It’s crazy how silly the USA looks to the rest of the world.
Silly? Most of them will be glad to see us go totalitarian. You cannot stay Number 1 with a totalitarian system. We cannot keep the Red Sea open, we cannot build a pier, and we cannot keep humanitarian aid safe. We cannot even retreat without a lot of us getting killed.

Can anybody believe that our Government would be spending Tens of Millions of Taxpayer Dollars on prosecuting this RIDICULOUS Case? I DID NOTHING WRONG! IN FACT, I DID EVERYTHING RIGHT. The testimony in Court was amazing for the Defense!

Senator Marsha Blackburn: “This is the
WEAPONIZATION of our JUDICIAL SYSTEM. This is why so many of my friends who are Democrats and Independents are saying they are voting for Trump. They’ve never voted for him before—but they know if they can do this to a former President, they can do it to you.”
Show me a lick of evidence that our government has anyone on President Trumps side. Crickets!!
It is way too hard for me to believe, as I have hoped for it but not seen it.
Wait…
What…
We have access to a hard copy of the 55 page jury instructions and the jury does not????
WTF!!
Glenn Greenwald did excellent podcast
on this yesterday.
Informative, especially since he is

Question for the legal eagles – if hypothetically a juror who is knowledgeable about Nullification and has decided that the law(s) in question and/or the prosecution is repugnant to the Constitution wanted to effect a Jury Nullification strategy in the deliberations what would be the best way for them to conduct themselves during deliberations?
Since there’s good odds that few other jurors would share their sentiments it’s unlikely they’d get an acquittal, so a hung jury would be their best bet. But that means they’d just have to be determined to stand their ground refusing to vote guilty on any charge, even one that has been demonstrably proven.
Does a determined nullify juror remain silent, offer no explanation, just stand their ground? Or does a nullify juror try to raise defenses to justify their not guilty vote?
If a nullify juror lets loose that it’s their intention to nullify and the jury foreman tells the judge of said nullify juror’s intentions what could result? Could the nullify juror be removed and replaced during deliberations? Could it result in a mistrial? Could the juror remain and produce the hung jury outcome they seek? Is it best in that scenario for a nullify juror to just keep their mouth shut and vote not guilty without explanation?
I’m not a legal eagle but have served on two juries, one in a civil trial, one in a criminal trial. See my comment above.
No one serving on a jury is obligated to give a specific reason for choosing either ‘guilty’ or ‘not guilty’ as a verdict. Their only obligation is to choose one or the other. They don’t have to defend their choice.
If a juror who is firm on a verdict, one way or the other, senses that the entire jury can be persuaded to go one way or the other, that juror might choose to go into detail as to why he or she is taking a firm position.
In the case of the civil trial on which I served on as a juror, the prior experiences of people who had been employed in their own businesses clearly played a role in their choice of a verdict. No one told us that our life experiences could not be used as an aid in making our individual decisions about the verdict, only that news reports and the opinions of friends and family about the dispute should be ignored.
A portion of the information these business people used in defending their choice of a verdict was not directly a part of the evidence presented by either side in the course of the trial. That information came into the jury’s deliberations as a filter used by jurors in weighing the evidence.
Each NYC juror will be under intense peer pressure from other jurors and from the left-leaning NYC community as a whole to vote guilty.
If I personally were a member of this NYC jury and I knew this trial for what it actually is, an assault on the American justice system, the very most I would say during the course of jury deliberations is that, “After weighing the evidence and the law, it is clear the prosecution has not made its case beyond a shadow of a doubt, either in a basis of law or in a basis of evidence. And so I vote ‘not guilty’.”
And if pressed further for more detail by other jurors, my only further response would be, “The prosecution has not made its case beyond a shadow of a doubt. Not guilty.”
Thank you for your helpful insight. Just a point of order – the threshold is beyond a *reasonable* doubt. Shadow is a nearly impossible burden to reach. So what you said substituting ‘reasonable’ for ‘shadow.’
FF, you are correct, the standard is ‘beyond reasonable doubt’ — not how I phrased it. If I am ever called to serve as a juror in a sham trial like this one, I will have to remember to say the correct words when the time comes.
Is this true?
Here is DeNiro being himself.

Appears to be fake news…
But would be nice 🙂
John Wilkes Booth thought he should have the same respect and fame as Lincoln. So full of himself he thought he’d be a hero when he shot Lincoln, he thought wrong.
He was as shocked as Di Zero was when the crowd turned against him. True narcissists live in their own heads, it’s all good in there, surprised when the world doesn’t see it the same way.
There are three chapters for his new movie “Horizon.” Bobbo is not in the first cast. If he is under contract in the later chapters millions will boycott. If story is true Costner was wise to boot him.
Can’t even remember what the movie was a few months back, but the minute, probably second I saw DeNiro I switched it off
Well Costner did run around Wyoming with a “I Heart Liz Cheney” t-shirt.
He is probably thanking God for RD. Hoping he gives everyone STML.
Found in the bin… 🙁
Sweet karma. Now RD knows what it is like when the tables turn quickly. Oh happy day!

Even the losers at MBDNC admit that this is a bad case, a case that should not have been brought.
Even though they have promoted TDS with propaganda, Trump is a money maker for them. They know the lights go off for them if Trump goes away.
“The party’s over.” Love that song by Willie.
You don’t have to go home but you can’t stay here –

Juan Merchan is not a federal judge. Merchan is a New York state judge.
Retired NY State judge.
Because: “Orange Man Bad,” and his opponent’s DESPERATION is now extreme.
For literally fifty years, these people “PWNED” the American brand-name. And its power, even as that power disappeared. They are ready to ignite nuclear(!) WW3, just to save their egoes.
They viscerally hate this country, even as they live off the fat of its land. They envy everything that it ever was, and for this reason alone they seek to destroy it.
Abraham Lincoln was right: if this nation ever were to fall, it would be suicide.
Is the Pope Catholic? On the other hand, that doesn’t work very well these days with Red Frank in the role. It worked well when the Pope was Polish.
Yes — The Frank is as Red as they come, which is sad for him and those he deludes.
Worse interference ever
Watergate is preschool interference compared to this and all the other things the Democrats have been doing with the help or is it control of the FBI.
Via TGP just now:
Front row seats to watch Daniel being fed to the lions.
I am not shocked. The only thing we haven’t seen is Chelsea Clinton present in the court room. If Hillary dained to show up, there would be your additional DNC connection but I guess her bagman Norm Eiason has the Clinton connection covered.
Where is Jim Jordan and the House “Judiciary” Committee?
We know the answer.
But it seems that a subpoena for Juan Merchan is in order given the blatant judicial corruption and conflicts of interest that even a blind person can see.
Won’t hold my breath waiting for Jim Jordan.
The House Judiciary Committee has no say so over a state court.
If the House Judiciary Committee was controlled by Democrats going against a Conservative Judge, they would find a way to have a say over a state court matter.
This is federal election interference and regards matters of a leading Presidential candidate, so if the House Republicans had any ballz, they would do it and not hide like cowards behind the rules (which are being systematically trashed as long as they serve Democrat interests).
.air jordan…..
It’s really a stretch for the House Judiciary Committee to go after a state judge. More important, where are they on Biden’s role in all these lawsuits? I believe there is someone investigating that end in the Judiciary Committee. And we know there’s a trove of questions on the raid of Mar-A-Lago where the WH is desperate to hide the Obama-Biden & IC agencies’ connections to “get Trump.”
They think we’re stupid.
Well, if only the Republicans in the House had a seperate committee, on say,…”Weoponisation of Government” now THAT would be approriate committee hearings to call Merchan in front of,…yes?
Writing a letter
Judas pedo Pence was instrumental in getting rid of Gen Flynn and engineered the Sessions recusal. Sessions wouldn’t have dome anything anyway, the coward..
Trump is a very trusting man, because he is honest he thinks others are sincere too. He listened to people he thought he could trust. The ones whispering in his ear were the ones he shouldn’t have.
Lessons learned.
Jury
deliberationsmanipulations are underway.I read the full instructions to the jury and it looks like the judge sneaked in New York Election law § 17-152 as the alleged predicate crime after the trial ended! Has § 17-152 been mentioned at any time during the trial? I can’t find a record of that and it is not mentioned in the indictment.
The judge further states that in considering violations of New York Election Law § 17-152 the jury should consider Federal election laws specifically violations of “FECA” as well as federal tax laws.
The scope of New York law § 17-152 is limited to New York state elected officials and do not cover the election of a president. The Federal laws are not the jurisdiction of New York State.
How can the judge get away with this and why isn’t Trump’s defense team’s hair on fire over this? They had no ability to defend their client from violations of law that were alleged after the end of the trial. This is the biggest travesty of justice I can imagine.
It would also appear that this is the first time that the defense team heard what the predicate alleged crime was. How could they go to the end of the trial without fleshing out all of the charges against their client? Why didn’t they anticipate such a trick? Sure they could probably get any conviction overturned but that is a small comfort. A conviction before an election will be handing Biden what he has wanted all along.
It is too bad this trial wasn’t televised so we did not get to see the performance of Trump’s defense team. I could be wrong but I get a sense that they were not up to snuff.
Any lawyer who defends DJT faces the full wrath of the CIA, DOJ, FBI, the Bar associations, etc. Look at what has happened to Eastman, Ellis, Giuliani etc. These lawyers are warned that their careers, their solvency are in jeopardy if they provide President Trump with his constitutional rights.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again….this is a coup d’etat. And they don’t care that we know it. If you can steal elections you have your hands on trillions.
That’s why we absolutely NEED a Trump win this fall.
Not just Trump. Across the board—House, Senate, State govt and Governors, Mayors, AGs, DAs. Even dog catchers. Sweep the board clean of democrats and rinos. He and we, need as much change over in all our govt. offices as we can manage. PDJT has stood alone far too long. He needs us to provide him help and then support all of them against the onslaught sure to come after we do it.
Here’s the thing: we are in a war — these Trump attorneys should recognize that. They are the frontline soldiers — in that light, whatever happens to them is of little moment.
That’s harsh, I know.
The criminals at the helm of this cabal should know that they charge forward against a people who will exact justice for their righteous cause — but not in a manner evil-doers will suspect. But by prayer and supplication, God will fight for them, and evil-doers will reap what they sow.
Yes, I agree this is a war and it takes the same unbelievable courage that our President has to take on the fight.
They enemy is outnumbered but they’re counting on beating us into submission and so far I can’t say that’s a bad bet. People all over the western world are putting up with outrageous behavior by our government parasites. DJT is right – he’s just standing in their way. Where would we be without him?
We are the rebellion:
God expects us to take up the armor of war and fight. Prayers are necessary but are not going to be enough when the enemy is slashing us down every chance they get. Not the normal weapons, but the ones to counteract the things like lawfare and using our agencies in dc against us. We have to be ready to fight them with the same kinds of weapons and we need the best, most intelligent and by far the most clever and sharp minded people we can get. God will want us by his side.
These defense lawyers may be very good or maybe not. Alan Dershowitz and another lawyer, whose name I forget, were on Megyn Kelly’s podcast and they were not at all happy with the defense lawyers and the things they did not object to. I don’t have the link off hand but that interview is worth listening to.
“…whatever happens to me is of little moment….”
British physician Andrew Wakefield said this publicly many times while caught in the crushing experience of ritual defamation, professional and personal character assassination imposed on him in a *psudo-court/kangaroo court* also. He is a great mirror and metaphor of triumphing over a crushing experience; as we’re witnessing Trump being subjected to now.
A 3rd (or 4th?) generation physician, literally at the top of a world-class hospital dept. heading a multi-disciplinary team of 13 other top specialists – fulfilling their authentic dedication to “First do no harm “- was railroaded out of the (CONniving MEDical pHARMa-dominated) profession entirely for the *invented ‘crime’* of calling for more clinical study investigation & research of children suffering from autism.
He, with 2 other colleagues, was kangaroo-psudo-court-tried, convicted, and stripped of licenses to practice medicine (subsequently two of the 3 were re-instated on appeal).
It looks/smells like/walks like/quacks like the NY state court has taken on both the GMC’s AND the sham US Vx ‘court”s skin-suit and form; zero discovery, legal rules of evidence, or impartial consideration shall be admitted, permitted or allowed here.
((The US Vx ‘court’ – the”court of special masters” within the US gov’t. that adjudicates Vx injury claims by Vx injured petitioners against the gov’t. /DOJ (per the govt.’s NVICP) is a kangaroo-psudo-court since the 1980s)).

“… Only when all things are revealed and thoroughly debated can one attempt to deliver justice. It may not be the best system, just better than all the others which had been tried.
The form of the court and the various protections offered to both sides are the best defense against injustice and the protection of society.
Now consider the creation of the Vaccine Court in our country. In the 1980s the vaccine manufacturers were screaming that they would be run out of business by the legal claims of parents of vaccine-injured children when the schedule contained 10 vaccine doses. What was the response? Study the problems of vaccine-injured children? Make the vaccine schedule safer? No, create a special Vaccine Court which would essentially prevent laywers from being lawyers, then add at least 26 more vaccine doses to the schedule….”

A relatively small subset of activists have been vocal… attempting to raise awareness and inspire appropriate outrage… about this kangaroo-sham-‘court’ for decades on behalf of and to the enrichment of the ConMedpHARMafia; since the 1986 NCVI Act was imposed as its foundation. Did you hear us???
Trump’s ordeal is mirroring and reiterating this continuous-40-year-existing-atrocity *within our own gov’t. by our own gov’t. against We The People*.
Too few people – sleepwalking – have noticed how well they’ve gotten away with it all along.
We’ve overslept!
AW chose not waste his family’s resources on any appeal the sham court’s decision, instead…
he hit the ground with both feet and applied his character, knowledge & world-class skills as a Brilliant medical mind to the endevour of medical-documentary filmmaking. He has been successfully exposing the dark-as-pitch heart – knowing it well as he was dragged through it after coming forth from the belly of that beast – of the ConMedpHARMafia machine…
and legions of people worldwide are not only listening, but also *hearing him*. Sleepwalking people’s eyes have been opened.
He lives here and is one of us/US now… he is a Hero and a Treasure of an iconic example that Righteousness will be rewarded with Divine Cosmic winds at it’s back. David facing Goliath, again.
Being & acting much more powerfully now, by bringing Sunlight to ugly Truths previously hidden from the targets of the amoral, murderous-for-profits-&-power machine.
Enabled & empowered now in helping infinitely more people through the 4th & 5th-generation-information-wartimes out from under the satanic grip of medical tyranny than he was able to do in his previous position as a world-class top physician.
This unfolding bodes well for our POTUS now; the pattern-of-positive outcome is established and proven operational within this current timeline.
Trump has similarly come forth from the belly of the plutocrat machine – and is currently being dragged through the dark-as-pitch heart of that perfidious, murderous beast.
Unlike the power-drunk pitch-hearted minions persecuting him, The Don has the character, abundant knowledge, well-honed skills, and a Brilliant mind also… with which to triumph over his crushing experience too.
We have each & all triumphed over crushing experience in our lives, if we think about it. Precedent established.
The entire point is…
Fear not. The other side of a near-death experience is – for the Righteous – a Glorious, Powerful, and Divinely Orchestrated next chapter.
Trump’s lawyers are likely overwhelmed by so many things to baffle and confuse, they must be forgiven for not immediately grasping every nuance of Merchan’s and the Prosecution’s (but I repeat myself) misdirection and obfuscation throughout the trial.
Keith, here are instructions on forwarding that to the Trump organization

If not, it ought to be!
Contrary to the ludicrously false narrative that 99% of FBI agents are noble patriots, a significant number of people who go to law school and get a degree are principled decent people with an unjaded perception of the law.. However, those reprobates who go to law school with the singular and express purpose of parlaying a law degree into a bid for political office are ALL – without exception- filled with the very worst versions of vice, graft, depravity and corruption imaginable. These filthy creatures have taken a noble profession and degraded it into a creative way to lie cheat, steal and debase themselves without getting caught and suffering consequences.
Mr. Bongino, with all respect, if I could ask you to change one thing, and one thing only, it would be to NOT refer to “Biden’s Justice System”, and I would then ask of you and anyone else where it applies to call it what it is, “Biden’s Injustice System”.
Thank you.
“The jury instructions are a Lawfare construct assembled

Yes, I love that “verdict sheet” (page 53)
I will give you a form known as a verdict sheet. The verdict sheet lists each count submitted for your consideration and the possible verdicts. Please use the form to record your verdict with an X or a check mark in the appropriate place. In addition to listing the counts, I have added some additional language on the verdict sheet in order to distinguish the counts: You will notice that I have indicated whether a count pertains to an invoice, a voucher or a check. For the invoices, I have added the date and for the vouchers and checks I have added the number. The sole reason for doing this is to help you distinguish between the various counts. It is not a substitute for my full instructions on the meaning and elements of each charge, and it should not discourage you from asking me to define a crime again if a question about it arises.
I pray that I am still alive when Judge Merchan receives his human punishment.
