There’s just something very sketchy about this public release of information from Judge Merchan in New York City. Merchan doesn’t have an integrity bone and the comment he is bringing attention toward is innocuous and random. However, Merchan could be trying to get Trump to violate the gag order aspect and talk about jurors; thereby making the sentencing worse.
According to information Merchan is providing the lawyers in the Trump case, a comment was made on the court’s FaceBook page indicating one of the jurors said the Trump guilty verdict was predetermined. [SOURCE] “My cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted. Thank you folks for all your hard work!!!”
Why would Judge Merchan want to draw public attention to this?
Either something bigger is being diluted by this story, or perhaps Merchan is using it as a provocation to get Trump to talk about the jury and violate his gag order ahead of sentencing.
Or, perhaps Merchan is looking to create a mistrial to exit the case, or do it over again and extend the gag order. Also, why not include the entire quote from the Facebook Page:
Not sure what’s going on, but something. Something….

Suspicious Cat remains, well, suspicious.
Pretense for a retrial.
The show must go on……
I keep telling people, this is all theater!

These oligarchs and their minions are so transparently full of 💩!
We know it.
They know we know it.
Nothing they say or do moves the needle in any direction that is favorable to their criminal antics.
FWIW, nothing connected to the Hush Money Trial, ever had anything to do with, Moving the Needle.
This is all about humiliating the persona of PDJT (Porn Star stories), it’s about ever-increasing legal costs (Fraudulent Charges), it’s about keeping a lock-down on their opposing candidate’s election campaign (Gag Order).
All of which are by design expendable at Appeal, none of which will happen until after 5NOV24.
None of which will ever be accountable to anyone. These acts if, committed by anyone other than law enforcement, are tantamount to Kidnapping, Unlawful Imprisonment. . .
The truly sad part of this is, everyone in a position of authority knows what is happening and they watch as it happens. . .
Not just those in a ‘position of authority’, but the media as well. As noted here many times, the media continually referred to Colangelo/Bragg’s case as the ‘hush money trial’. The term was relentlessly used to instill the sense that a crime was committed (why else would ‘hush money’ be paid?). The term was used on the radio, on tv, and in print all day, every day.
The American media is overwhelmingly garbage.
They are the enemedia.
Condemned USA is filing a challenge in U.S. District Court & for injunctive relief on all the constitutional issues arising from this case & election interference. We’ll see.
And I’m not tired of winning!
Yep, the Guilty Verdict was in the script when they planned this!
All they wanted was to be able to say, Trump is a Convicted Felon!
PDJT CANNOT be a felon as there was no felony
🎭🎭🎭🎭🎭🎭🎭
Nope. Would be a mistrial and double jeopardy. Clear as day.
Mistrials must be declared before the verdict is entered, at least in PA. If a mistrial is declared before verdict, there is no double jeopardy. (I lost an appeal once because my senior partner screwed up and didn’t ask for the mistrial before the verdict was recorded.)
After verdict, it would be an order to set aside the verdict, and, yes, I think you’re right, there could be double jeopardy.
That’s correct. This is a post-trial and post-verdict event, so the verdict would be set aside, and any collateral judgments on that verdict vacated. The mistrial ship has long sailed.
And a compelling argument for double jeopardy does arise.
I don’t think mistrials equate to double jeopardy. It’s once a verdict of not guilty is given, then you can not try a defendant again for said crime. That’s double jeopardy.
Mistrial means you try it again. That’s how I was told it worked when I served on a jury in 2022. We had one juror cause some problems so we sent a note to the judge. It wasn’t exactly like this, it was going to be a hung jury not mistrial. But I think it’s same result.
Mistrial yes, if it’s a legit connection to a juror, but a mistrial does not preclude another trial. Double jeopardy does not attach under that scenario.
They were on very shaky grounds for the trial – even the lefty MSM was rolling their eyes. Think they’d retry now?
Retrial good for another couple of hundred million dollars easy.
With all the unexpected uproar maybe he’s thinking a mistrial?
They will drag Trump back into court and extend the gag orders up until the election. This was designed to kneecap Trump completely.
This was 100% intentional.
That means 1000% less than PDJT in handcuffs
Found guilty by a trial of a jury of globalist Wall Street banksters
Merchan knows it backfired and if he sentences Trump hes a target for corruption investigations. He may be trying to weasel out of the mess he made.
Not necessarily, it’s very possible the Deepstate miscalculated thinking this would hurt President Trump and instead he has raised over 400 million and gained millions of more people adamant on voting for him.
The Deepstate now fears what will happen if they actually sentence him. President Trump would raise a billion more and it’s even possible that many of the corrupt officials behind this sham trial become hunted.
To me this looks like their off ramp to undo the mess they created before sentencing is to take place.
Only time will tell.
Méchant Mercante die Weltkampf.
The comment was posted on the Appellate Division’s website.
Merchan may be trying to CYA by releasing this before the Appellate Division steps in to investigate. He could not keep a lid on this if the posting was so public, and on a website Merchan didn’t control.
Merchan will pinky-swear he didn’t know that this was going on….
The posting was May 29, and the verdict was not announced until the 30th. Someone in the jury was leaking deliberations.
Obvious move is to find out who Michael Anderson is, and if he does have a cousin on the jury. Juror is in trouble for violating oath.
How could a juror leak deliberations when they didn’t deliberate?
They returned a verdict in, what, minutes?
Are you suggesting they were conspiring prior to actually being sent to deliberate?
When they are in the jury room, they are considered in “deliberations.”
But yes, I expect they all were going to convict, and just had to pretend for a day or so to make it look legit.
They spent May 29 in deliberations and announced the verdict on May 30.
A side point…
After the verdict, Merchan met with all the jurors to thank them each personally for the guilty verdict. We don’t know if that was a private meeting or if there were others present.
Being of suspicious nature, I have always looked at that with a gimlet eye.
Is that normal behaviour for a judge?
Why do I suspect remuneration was passed out…or warnings?
I realize that sounds very tin foil hattish…
But given the Marxists’ Mad Hatter Tea Party this whole unconstitutional pantomime has been, I cannot shake the feeling there was something not above board about this as well.
Thoughts, Wethal?
No, usually the judge thanks them all together in open court right after the verdict, dismisses them from jury service, and they leave with the bailiff to go back to see about their daily stipend, transportation, etc.
Appreciate the verification of what I understood to be the procedure post verdict.
But as nothing about this shameful spectacle smacks of lawful or judicial propriety, and given the subject of this thread, I will remain gimlet eyed.
Thank you.
It was a done deal. They pretended to ‘deliberate’ for a very short time at that, couldn’t tolerate going through a weekend, too long to pretend.
I wonder how much “bonus” jury duty stipends were promised to them to hurry up and convict quickly? I wonder how expensive those daily meals presented to them were worth? Who catered them? Does Merchan have family owned pizzaria around the corner from courthouse?

“Counting flowers on the wall” — maybe they were counting their votes early.
9 hours of “deliberations”.
Free meals. Deliberate past 6 pm, and you get a free dinner. Deliberate past noon, and you get a free lunch.
I’m thinking there was one or more on the jury who made up their mind to convict Trump before the conclusion of the trial, never mind going into deliberations. It wouldn’t surprise me to find out there were multiple jurors bent on a guilty verdict the day they were selected to sit on the jury, if not before.
I’m thinking all of them.
Anyone with favorable view of DJT was let go from the jury pool.
They want to do this all over again since Fani’s case and Smith’s case are in limbo. Keep Trump tied up all summer.
They want to, but whether they will be able to do it before the election is another matter. Merchan may actually have a full trial schedule, although I would not put it past him to postpone someone else’s to make way for this. If Bragg decided to re-try.
And since this came out after verdict, it may be too late for a mistrial. In PA, a mistrial must be declared before the verdict is entered. It would have to be something else, and there might be double jeopardy issues with a recorded verdict.
He came out of retirement to do this trial. Can’t he just go back to the retirement hell hole he came from? Or does he enjoy the power, the notoriety and the money his daughter is raising? More, more, more — how do you like it, how do you like it?
Original post was the 20th. The second post is from the 29th.
Something truly fishy going on.
And he referred to the juror as a “Her”, so that norrows it down somewhat!
Yes…Only 5 female jurors.
I have to think the commenter, Michael Anderson, has already been identified by the court & been tracked back to a juror. Judge Merchan has been forced to inform President Trump’s legal counsel because the appellate court demanded it. Judge Merchan did everything in his power to bring about this guilty verdict … so he wouldn’t have divulged this on his own, imho. He had no choice.
Which means a mistrial is coming & these bogus convictions will disappear.
He was involved in selecting a crooked juror.
Enter “suspicious cat indeed!”
Huh. Imagine that. Shocking! /s
Regardless, I doubt this far left, compromised part time ” Judge ” will call a mistrial.
The Communist’s didnt go this far to have a mistrial, over such a ” small ” thing, as no doubt, the corrupt media will call it.
They threw Navarro in jail.
They are throwing Bannon in jail.
In both of those cases, Executive Privilege was ignored, with the new and improved Lawfare system used by these Communist’s.
Although, it could be an ” out ” for Merchan. I doubt that PDJT will have that extended to him.
The ends justify the means, as the traitors say…..
I expect the Appellate Division leaned on Merchan to clean this up with a mistrial, and just close out the circus so the Appellate Division, and later the Court of Appeals, don’t have to deal with all Merchan’s reversible errors.
Yep … the NY Appellate Court may be crooked but even they did not want this circus on their docket and same is likely true of the Federal Courts.
I tend to agree with you, and truly hope, this is going to be the case.
Suspicious Cat is an understatement……
They don’t want the public to hear how outrageous that trial was and will instead blame a Facebook post. This way they can still say he was a convicted felon and escaped punishment because of a stupid error. That bastard Judge is going to get away with it.
If the verdict is set aside because of juror misconduct, there is no longer a conviction on the record. But that matter of law would no doubt be ignored by the Dems.
On the other hand, it does give Trump evidence of a rigged trial. And the fact that Merchan himself might have to officially say something like this is so delicious.
I’m leaning that way, too. Someone higher up has tapped Merchan on the shoulder to say that he way overdid the biased “errors” – went so hard after Trump that it lit up so many of the big legal experts – so now the appellate court will be forced to humiliate itself or Merchan.
“Dog catches car” moment, because Merchan can’t plausibly allow Trump off without at least house arrest, with that many felonies -and the higher-ups have suddenly realized the absolute chaos and firestorm that confining Trump to his home would cause.
Even though ….. just imagine the spectacle of homebound prisoner Trump drawing massive rallies across the country while broadcasting to tens of thousands of people on a big screen in a stadium, on camera from Mar-a-Lago…. lol . Let Joe Biden try that from his basement and see how many would show.
So maybe one of several possibilities: maybe the judgment is vacated due to juror misconduct, and Trump, in lieu of retrial, is offered a deal with fines only, (with or without expungement – and I don’t think Trump would accept a deal without expungment) to make it all go away (using the excuse that it would cost NYC too much money to retry, blah blah blah).
Or (unlikely, but within the realm of possibility) this alleged juror misconduct could be simultaneously swept under the rug, but still give NY Gov. Hochul an excuse to pardon Trump before sentencing, ending the mess but leaving him a convicted felon. Is one allowed to reject a pardon? I’ve been Googling but can’t find an answer. If Trump wanted to play hardball, he could reject a pardon(?) and force it up the appellate court’s keister … a high-stakes game of “chicken.”
And it would be a hell of a stretch for Biden to try to undo the mess and show “merciful Joe” by issuing a pardon for unspecified, “underlying” federal crimes for which Trump was never convicted! Oh, what a tangled web we weave….
What a mess. You gotta know that the behind-the-scenes discussions right now have to be melting the private interwebs in NYC, Albany and DC.
This mess reminds me of the time I got impatient with some damp charcoal, foolishly tried gasoline, used too much, tried to toss in a burning stick from a few feet away and blew up the barbeque pit and lit a couple plastic patio chairs on fire. Wife was torn between killing me and breaking her ribs laughing at my stupidity.
Suspicious Cat, indeedy
In the early days of the internet there was a video from engineering students lighting charcoal with a cigarette. Really worked when they dumped a bucket of liquid oxygen on it.
Great story! I can always use a good laugh.
Now that makes sense. Dershowitz said the judge is the one who should be going to prison. Is that a real possibility? I don’t see Dershowitz casually saying this.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/06/dershowitz-its-day-after-ruling-i-still-dont/
You may very well be right. Let’s see what happens.
But, but, but — his daughter raised enough money for all of them! Creepier and creepier.
Agreed. Yet, we, and the World, just watched Biden try to sit in a phantom chair, while Nurse Jill ordered him to stand back up.
There has to be a few, sane Democrats somewhere who have figured out that they are burning their own house down, not Trump’s.
He was never sitting…he was defecating his trousers on the world stage…
Old Hotness: “The ends justify the means, as the traitors say…..”
New Hotness: The process is the punishment.
New new hotness: let the crows feed on the hanging meatbags…
Perhaps he sees his thirst for an unjust prison sentence is going to cause a massive backlash to his beloved Demonrat Party and send dollars flowing into President Trumps campaign?
In the week following that outrageous conviction, President Trump’s campaign has received a staggering $400,000,000 – FOUR HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS – in campaign donations!!! And donations continue to pour in! Americans are awake & don’t want any more of this horse manure!
Nothing is as it appears.
Just like Audrey Hale’s manifesto. She had an imaginary schwanzstücker.
Has the identity and relation of the person who made the post been confirmed to be tied to a juror? That’s where you start, no? Then maybe see what else that person has “out there”? Even if they are related to a juror, how to prove the juror spoke with them?
This one is a definite let’s wait and see. Don’t think I’m buying the legitimacy of this persons post
Maybe a DJT supporter wanting to throw some sand in the gears 🤔
I expect someone is checking who had log-in privileges on the Appellate Division’s Facebook page, and was posting on the 29. I assume they can even trace this particular post.
A MAGA master-hacker? Heh.
Wait and see, while also reminding everyone that America still has a law of the land and we the people will not tolerate it being flouted, even though sometimes it takes us a while to figure out what to do about it. Meanwhile I shall await Sundance’s updates on whether there is anything else I didn’t realize was happening somewhere else in the world right now….
Answer this caped crusaders …. how do the NY Courts avoid being embarrassed in a NY Appeals Court as well as Federal Court and still have the DA’s retry President Trump with a re-run of the first trial complete with gag orders …and … another Democrat Judge “selected at random” and “new jury” of course???
NY Appeals court declare a mistrial, anybody.
Either the Supreme Court-Appellate Division could reverse the trial verdict and order a new trial, or the Court of Appeals.
I doubt this would be retried before the election, though.
By the way, the Supreme Court-Appellate Division is the intermediate appellate court, and the Court of Appeals is actually the highest court. What can I say – it’s New York.
The entirely corrupt judicial system in NY knows that with an emergency injunction by a Federal Judge, which puts a freeze on the whole NY circus while all of the appeals play out, their corrupt system keeps from being further embarrassed on the world stage by this lawfare BS
Jumping up to a federal judge would be hard, and that would probably be to a judge from the SDNY , which probably mostly has judges nominated by Schumer, Gillibrand, Clinton, etc.
Not sure an appellate court can declare a ‘mistrial,’ but they could overturn or send back with a remand.
Mistrials are supposed to be declared before the verdict is entered. After the verdict, the court sets the verdict aside. Can be for the same reason – just depends on when it’s done for what you call it.
I agree with that, I’m just not sure an appellate court could declare a mistrial. My understanding is that is done by the trial court.
You are right.
Could be. The deviousness of the TDS crowd is unbounded.
What’s one more thing that could result in mistrial or an overturned verdict?
Merchan DID work very hard for that conviction. He worked harder than the prosecutors since they were so incompetent.
That was my first instinct, {{{What?}}} The communists are so transparent these days.
$400 million + raised after guilty verdict was handed down means a lot of people support Trump and disagree with this outrageous mis-justice done to PDJT. Could Judge Merchan? possibly feel the weight of his egregious ways? Does he not want his unwarrented and corrupt twisting of law to be further examined? Either way I too remain suspicious. Teflon Don has God on his side and a whole lot of MAGA patriots. God bless PDJT and to hell with Alvin Bragg and his unlawful persecution of an innocent, decent man. PDJT WILL be the next President of the US. MAGA = Man Asked God Answered
You give Trump $400 million, an excuse to vote for him, and then you clear peoples’ heart about having to vote for a ‘convicted felon.’ Would be the worst of both worlds for them.
Could Trump raise a whole billion before this is over?
I would love to see Trump raise a billion…he deserves it.
He raised over 400 million in 6 days, so I would think he just might. Silicone Valley seems to be coming around a bit and those guys have a lotta bucks.
For some reason I don’t think Merchan suddenly developed a conscience. I’m very suspicious.
Why does Agent Provocateur not come into play here?
Oh, that’s right..
Something is going on, that’s for sure.
A dismissal with prejudice would be nice, but that’s never gonna happen.
Just an excuse for a Mistrial and to drag it all back again. Trust the Left to double down with uber-stupidity.
Hey, Bragg, Merchan, Cohen, Stormy and Dementa Joe – have a nice weekend!
This comment should at least require some type of evidentiary hearing, probably by Merchan…
A re trial would be all so perfect for the Left. It would keep President Trump from having the verdict thrown out on appeal in plenty of time before the election. Merchan could continue to enforce his gag order on President Trump. If a second trial was over by August they could just do it all over again.
I seriously doubt it would be tried before the election.
Bragg (Ok, the WH), would decide whether to attempt another trial.
After Cohen’s admission of embezzling more than the average American makes in a year, Bragg might have a challenge making Cohen look believable (not that Cohen ever really was, mind you).
It’d be double jeopardy. 1000%.
If it’s legit, it’s a mistrial and thrown out forever.
Mistrials do not cause double jeopardy.
Only a retrial or decline to prosecute further.
Double jeopardy applies when you are retried on the same charges after being found not guilty.
innocent people stand trial and may be found guilty. they don’t have to prove their innocence, they must be proved guilty.
One is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
Those MAGA crazies. They just won’t go away. Can’t someone, anyone, make them just go AWAY!
/the pathetic left
If true,judge will just say… Cousin’s not under gag order 😜
Yeah, this is really suspicious. Is the judge trying to act impartial…after he’s been blatantly partial and partisan?
This does not pass the sniff test.
can Merchan cook up another trial in the next 4 mos? maybe they know something and are trying to get out of the mess.
I think you are right.
Merchan may have a full trial schedule through the fall, although I would not put it past him to postpone someone else’s. It’s up to Bragg (OK, the WH to decide to re-try, if there could even be a re-trial, given there was no mistrial declared before the verdict was entered.)
Totally shady.
Diversity in the Court System?
Pairing the legally brilliant with the legally stunted.
This should help dissolve the nation sooner than later.
Made up.
I think this is a shitposter, but if it’s true, oh man. What a disaster for them. On the front and backends.
The Dems really are slipping with their rigged trials. This, and then in the huge trial in Minneapolis on millions of fraud by a Somali gang in which a woman delivered a shopping bag of cash to the home of a juror (who turned out to be honest, and called the cops right away) to get the juror to vote to acquit.
Shame how they’re letting their standards slide. /sarc/
As far as I know this has ALWAYS happened. How can confidence be restored when most don’t trust it to begin with?
They just don’t care who sees it now.
I’m going with the simple answer that the rigged verdict was a massive backfire and the left is just trying to make it go away. they got their headlines, the judge could throw out the case and the convicted talking point would still remain, it was just dismissed on a “technicality”.
A retrial would be a disaster because it would only bolster Trump’s credibility and poll numbers, keep corrupt lawfare in the news cycle, and the defense would know what law Trump is charged with breaking.
And keep in mind, a retrial would not happen before the election either.
It’s plainly a CYA for the corrupt judge.
If the superior courts in the State of New York do not step in very quickly to end this “silly contretemps,” they will have no credibility with anyone in the world. And the SCOTUS will be forced to intervene somehow.
“Judge” Merchan has gone completely off-the-rails in his Lawfare/TDS zeal to become the first to put Trump in prison. He very richly deserves to be criminally prosecuted, himself.
But, I now wonder: what will his superiors in the New York court system now do? What will the “Feds” do, where a New York State court pursued a Federal crime – even though the SCOTUS quite recently ruled that such a thing was expressly not allowed?
Exactly how far can “TDS” actually go? I see no end in sight. 🤡
My first instinct is someone in Merchans court wants a vocal reaction to this little tidbit from GAGGED President Trump. All the other cases are being appealed or have been put on hold they need more drama.
My second instinct is clean up on aisle nine.
By Spencer Brown at Townhall.com:
Juan Merchan, the judge overseeing former President Donald Trump’s criminal trial in New York City, notified the 45th president’s defense attorney and a Manhattan prosecutor that there’s been another twist — a potentially significant one — following the May 30 verdict finding Trump guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records.
In a letter dated June 7, Judge Merchan writes to Trump attorney Todd Blanche and ADA Joshua Steinglass (emphasis added):
“Dear Counsel:
Today, the Court became aware of a comment that was posted on the Unified Court System’s public Facebook page and which I now bring to your attention. In the comment, the user, “Michael Anderson,” states:
“My cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted…Thank you folks for all your hard work!!!!”
The comment, now labeled as one week old, responded to a routine UCS notice, posted on May 29, 2024, regarding oral arguments in the Fourth Department of the Appellate Division unrelated to this proceeding. The posting, entitled “The Appellate Division, Fourth Department, will hear oral arguments this morning at 10,” and the comment are both viewable at https://www.facebook.com/NewYorkCourts/.”…
https://townhall.com/tipsheet/spencerbrown/2024/06/07/theres-been-another-twist-in-trumps-new-york-case-n2640163
Curious mind wonders when Merchan was notified and if today why the New York courts took so long…..
My first thought was that mr. merchan has thought out some devious plan to hobble President Trump’s campaign.
I don’t think he’s that smart. I suspect someone in the Lawfare group could devise a plan. Engeron was too stupid to write his opinions – he even had to have a clerk next to him the whole time -with a laptop, yet.
And by the way, having a clerk sit up on the bench next to the judge was very unusual. Clerks usually sit below the bench next to the court reporter and bailiff.
Also allows him to appear to the masses that he is impartial.
not working
Too late!
Smell like someone got caught in a trap, Trump is a lot deeper than first thought.
“My cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted. Thank you folks for all your hard work!!!”
No, that’s not what the message said. Why did Merchan misrepresent the message in his formal letter? Even the emojis are wrong. Was he working off of an early draft, or something lol? Oops.
My first question is what if anything is being done to identify the person who posted to that Facebook page? With a warrant, Facebook can provide law enforcement the IP address of the poster from which law enforcement can track down the location of the poster to determine if as he claimed he is a cousin to one of the jurors. If he is related this is bad news for the judge and prosecution and only good news for Trump. I’m not a legal expert but this could cause the verdict to be immediately overturned by the judge.
What the Trump team should do is issue a statement asking law enforcement to identify “Michael Anderson”. It may be that this is some troll. Anyone can post anything to a Facebook page. Even prior to the verdict being rendered it was reasonable to expect that Trump would be convicted.
If no attempt is being made to unmask “Michael Anderson” then that would raise suspicions as to why did the judge release this now.
Lawfare is failing badly, Captain poopy pants is clearly declining faster than the meds can keep up with him, Fauxi is floundering on Capitol Hill, and it seems like every day there is another story about an atrocity committed by an illegal…
Everything is backfiring and the left has realized they are going to need to regroup and come up with a different plan moving forward! Merchan knows this case is going to be thrown out on appeal so if he declares a mistrial beforehand, he avoids that scrutiny and eventual humiliation.
The ideology has not changed one iota but, in light of the current dynamics, the tactics are going to have to shift. iif there’s one thing the left understands, it is how to regroup and find a completely different friend from which to attack! Not sure what it’s going to look like but sadly, whatever it is, the Republicans will be three steps behind!🙄
I think it’s related to option #3 — extend gag order. That fool Merchan knows that if he sentences President Trump to time, then he seals the election win for President Trump. Merchan is baiting, hoping that the bait gets taken. President Trump is much smarter than these third-rate thinkers.
President Trump knows that the gag order does not stop members of the public who support him from talking about it.
What was that line about briar rabbit asking to not be thrown into the briar patch? That is the feeling I get with much of this business.
Suspicious Cat has entered the chat.
Retrial in the same leftist brainless over educated rich hell hole will bring about the same outcome! The whole thing should be thrown out like the trash 🗑️ heap it is!!
Merchan is a horrible political hack like his homely daughter and political activist wife.
Put an end to this nonsense!!💁🏻♀️
When is the 🤬ing SCOTUS going to step in & put a stop to this?
When Trump files an appeal to SCOTUS.
SCOTUS intervened in the Florida recount because Bush filed a petition asking for an emergency appeal.
It can’t do that.
None of the parties has even asked SCOTUS to do anything.
My first guess was Merchan knows hes being watched now and stands a lot to lose if more evidence comes out that PDJT was railroaded by a hostile jury. It could also be something as simple as “see? I m not corrupt or biased because I released this”
I dont think hes intelligent enough to play the kind of 3D chess sundamce implies however his lawfare backers know they are out and known now.
Being a former resident inside the belly of the beast – SF Bay Area – The ONE THING that shltlibs crave above all else is clout… remember these were the bench sitters in high school and it PERMANENTLY affects them.
It’s a huge Achilles heal and this geek was fishing for clout, so he mouthed off to get some.
It’s a troll.
And with all this “Patriot Act” surveillance we have with ‘silos’ of data storage, it has taken this long to address it? Who ever, troll or perp…are there not some sort of laws in place for the lawfare…like “interference” of a judicial process or juries?
Asking for a friend…still enjoying a high level of mental health….
Perhaps a Russian troll.
I think Biden/Democrats needed an exit prior to sentencing and they still get to spew the big lie “Convicted Felon”
even though trump still is not “convicted” until sentencing. if i am wrong about that part LMK but that is my understanding.
I do know that Robert Durst, who was charged and found guilty of murder, 1 of at least 3, died before sentencing, and therefore died an innocent man. At least according to the laws of California where this particular murder took place.
Suspicious? Absolutely stinks in my opinion!
