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.
Could be the silent jurors are now sweating bullets as they try to stay below surface and keep story of ‘deliberations’ from scrutiny.
yep they know what happened and will tell all for a lump sum cash payment. They are New Yorkers first and foremost. Where is Laura Loomer or one of those other crack investigators.; This new story is a trap stay outa the web Don.
I look forward to someday soon seeing James O’Keefe’s operatives catch some of the jurors on tape admitting how the entire trial was rigged from start to finish.
me too…and that could come very soon with a few bucks to pass around to the scumbag jurors.
Usually it takes just a couple of cheap ‘dates’ and a few drinks and O’Keefe undercover team gets them bragging to crimes they committed.
The jurors are only going to lay low until the sentencing. After that they will all be rewarded with book deals, cushy jobs at Leftist companies, worshipful media appearances and every other perk the Leftist mob can grant them.
Possibility:
Phase I: Mercham guarantees a guilty verdict for Lawfare, the guilty verdict goes worldwide, major damage done.
Phase II: Merchan knows the case will be reversed so he beats the court ( NY or SCOTUS) to the punch by getting the case tossed based on said circumstances. There isn’t any real way to take back this verdict & Lawfare doesn’t care; damage accomplished, but Merchan prevents himself from being overturned.
That’s the potential deal Merchan made with Lawfare.
Unexpectedly, the guilty verdict raises $400M+ for Trump. Can’t cancel that. This fiasco just brings in a ton of more $$$.
And to quote Dirty Harry Reid, “it worked, didn’t it.”
I am not so sure it worked. The people out there are going to fight even harder for Trump, especially the minorities who always believe they get screwed by the Judicial system. PDJT will use this like a battering ram against the Communists.
I agree with you 100%. I’m just saying that’s how they think and operate.
Worked in getting the lawless courts out in the open.
Can and Will!
“It worked didn’t it?”
For the Regime schemers, NO it did not work despite assists from the Regime’s Media PsyOp Machines. In fact, it was a disaster that was only going to become more damaging per metrics that matter ie the effect on fund raising for Team Trump and Team Regime, post verdict polling plus future lawfare and media blowback.
Makes sense. Besides, tossing Trump in jail would be a bridge too far in my opinion. They (Democrats) know this would have profound implication on the upcoming election, as his conviction has produced phenomenal contributions. Moreover, more people perhaps may see the “unfairness” in this and steer more people into Trump’s camp.
“The phrase “Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive” is a quote from Sir Walter Scott’s poem “Marmion: A Tale of Flodden Field”. It means that when we start to lie or act dishonestly, we are initiating a complex and uncontrollable series of problems that will eventually spiral out of control.”
Or, as Shakespeare wrote: “Hoist on their own petard.”
And better, “You reap what you sow.” Holy Bible.
Or my current fav:
Karma, like Kamala, is a bitch.
An alternate & optimistic possibility is that this trial has been such a disaster for the Dems that they are looking for a face saving way out. Then they can sweep the whole thing under the carpet & try to pretend it never happened
And it’s faster than waiting for an appeal to be briefed and argued.
And the judge knows he will be overturned and likely reprimanded for his extremely prejuducial behavior.
In an appeal, wouldn’t Colangelo have to be involved?
Would an appeal be a risk to the WH & DOJ given Colangelo’s story?
Sounds like them, ‘What Trial?’
🎯 This case has gone terribly bad for Biden/dems
… and Dr Phil appealed publically to the Biden govt to stop this persecution now
….and Trump’s excellent interview with Phil showed Trump to be the magnanimous candidate who is putting America 1st.
Trump explained why he did not indict HRC — bc she was a former 1st Lady and SecState and believed it would be awful for country.
Yet… the sleezy unethical Biden govt/Dems are doing to Trump what Trump said he did not do to HRC (and others) even though he could have -plenty of evidence.
Trump is showing that it is Biden and dems WILLING to destroy our country to “get” their political opponent… like we expect to see in a fascist banana Republic.
Also… There wasn’t just one dishonest jurist in that frivolous NYC case, there were 12.
So… it looks like a mistrial.
Trump explained why he didn’t indict Hillary????
You have got to be kidding. Presidents don’t indict. That would have been under the purview of the Attorney General or US Attorney.
Why he didn’t go after her once he won. He could have gone after her just like Biden went after him, through his DOJ.
Of course he “could have gone after her”.
And, if he had, he obviously would have failed AND then been removed before his first term ended which would have prevented him from ever running again plus destroying any effective resistance to the Regime FOREVER.
Thank God President Trump was too savvy to indulge the desires of naive Veruka Salt impatients.
Except President Trump never had a loyal AG or DOJ who would do his bidding, the way Obama had Holder, or Biden has Garland. (And I’m sure Jeff Sessions and successive Trump AGs were too afraid of being Arkancided… )
Trump could have pushed. He didn’t
“He didnt”.
Lmao.
Fact check: FALSE
Perhaps pray more and help more rather than wasting precious time offering low info armchair criticisms
The President IS the Executive branch.
Everyone else in the Executive branch works for the ONLY person the ENTIRE country elects to represent us all ie the President.
In other words every Executive branch, including the DOJ serves our one Representative in DC, The President
If they operate independently they’re violating their oaths to preserve and protect our Constitution. Rather than serving We the People by serving the President we elected, those who believe they are independent are serving what’s often called The Deep State or Swamp..
You don’t think Biden indicted Trump? Biden and his puppeteer Obama absolutely gave the marching orders to Garland… through intermediaries, or maybe some very secure room with no aides present.
Unfortunately for Trump, he never had a loyal Attorney General.
So if it is a mistrial that means another jury and a new trial with more gagging and extended time to keep PDJT confined to court and not campaigning.
Thanks for asking.
Answer:
NO.
“Then they can sweep the whole thing under the carpet & try to pretend it never happened”
Cue Gilder Radner’s character Emily Litella: “Never mind!”
Yes and no.
They humiliated and tormented unjustly a US President and are now admitting that they discovered one prejudicial jurist who always intended to convict.
The lists of prospective jurists were created by court staff. No doubt they did all they could to create lists of only trump-haters who would convict.
The comment indicates the juror was speaking for all and the conviction was in for all, not just for himself.
“The humiliated” PDJT.
They TRIED to humiliate him and they FAILED bigly.
Thank God he’s still willing to teach people HOW to fight and win. Thank God more and more people are accepting his offer and learning these priceless lessons while they still can.
Fortunately, “Never mind” only works on compliants.
Fortunately, polls plus many other real world metrics == the majority of Americans are no longer compliant.
And the number of Americans who are waking up and feeling alarmed is GROWING every day.
In other words, “never mind” isn’t working like it has for DECADES. Hence the Regimes increasingly unhinged behavior.
“they can”
Fortunately, trying =/= succeeding.
Especially in the Era of Trump.
I think it’s a way to tie up Trump throughout the campaign without the mess of the sentencing and the new burst of fundraising.
no one noticed this for over a week?
“Hello, Zuck….need a favor. Can you insert some posts and backdate them for us?”
Only if there’s a re-trial, and I would not take that as a given.
This is now a mistrial. They won’t re-try PDJT.
Lolololololol.
How do you have a mistrial AFTER the verdict?
🤣👻
Judgement hasn’t yet been entered in the record. So judge can vacate the verdict or declare a mistrial due to a revelation that the jury was possibly tainted.
And therefore DJT is NOT a convicted felon.
Technically he’s not yet a convicted felon until the judge agrees that he is at sentencing.
The judge is also free to ignore the jury’s decision.
See Cozette’s reply.
the jurors verdict =/= “the verdict”.
” The verdict” == what the judge says it is at sentencing which In this case is currently scheduled for July 11.
From what I hear ,zuck is in high censorship mode .
Exactly! my first thought was how could it go unnoticed for an entire week?? Something is very rotten here, even more than normal.
You have no idea how incompetent the New York Court system is!
I don’t think you can back date a post on Facebook,
We can’t ….. but could the FBI/DoJ, CIA, NSA get Facebook to do it? You bet your sweet bippitty they could.
Maybe this is all part of the DUMP FJB movement?
NOTHING these Commie scumbags do would surprise me.
First question that needs answering….who is the poster and is he really related to a juror. If yes then Merchan is doing some CYA.
I’m guessing this is a phony post.
He pointed out that his cousin is female. There’s enough there to require a court order to Facebook for the poster’s identity and then either the NYPD. or the DA’s detectives will have to track the poster down and interview him. At that time the investigation will have to continue because even if the poster said he “made it up” that’s not going to be enough. The investigators would have to subpoena his phone and email records at a minimum as well as interview the female jurors and get their phone and email records to look for links.
At a minimum, you’re looking at six months!
Given the post was dated 5/29, this should be known by now.
Plus, assuming he is related to the juror was it against the rules to tell anyone that he was a Trump trial juror? Even if he did tell his cousin he was on the jury what if he denies he told his cousin anything about the trial itself? How convenient–a Friday afternoon news dump. How long has the judge been sitting on this? I would love to see the communciations between the judge and his lawfare buds on this.
I’m guessing that the message as quoted by Merchan is what it was supposed to read. But then this Anderson went off script, thus the discrepancy.
Michael Anderson: “It was just a typo! Honest! #%$@&8 Autocorrect!”
Perhaps Michael Andersen is a new alias used by Joy Reid and she will claim yet again “her account was hacked.”
🤣
The FBI and DOJ have required internet providers and social media outlets through warrants to give out user info on other criminal cases. This should be a slam dunk request by them to find out the identity of this poster and see if he really had a cousin on the jury. Let’s see how they react on this one.
President Trump’s lawyers should demand the user be identified.
One would assume a court system’s internet would have decent security, limits on who can post what, and methods for determining who posted each posting.
Don’t forget it’s Nueva York City- the absolute lowest part of the belly of the Beast. The most corrupt place on earth where evil reigns.
It’s not just evil, Seneca, it’s massive incompetence, as well!
Nope, no incompetence.
They are complete masters of evil, not incompetent at all.
Paraphrasing Obi-Wan Kenobi, “New York City. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.”
“One would assume”
If “one” did “assume” those things then that ones assumptions would be incorrect.
Consequently, I hope no one actually did make these mind cluttering and unnecessary assumptions.
Probably react the same as they did for the owner of the white powdery stuff at the WH
I’m w Suspicious Cat 😎
Someone noted (maybe one of those lawyer videos) that he is not a “convicted felon” until sentencing phase is complete. In this case July 11. I suppose for in real world situations so there is time for if things do come up.
Also, another legal question. So J6ers and hoped for pardons if Trump back in. Is it correct that to get a pardon, you have to admit guilt? Could there instead by commuted to time served and they don’t have to admit to something they didn’t do? Or, does the pardon also wipe it off the books/their record is clean and the “commuted to time served” does not?
No, you don’t need to admit guilt to get a pardon. That was merely justification on Ford’s part to do it.
Ok thanks
Pardons can be granted for repentant and reformed individuals, abut an admission of guilt is not required. There have been posthumous pardons.
A pardon erases the conviction. Commuting the sentence to time served does not erase the conviction – just reduces the sentence.
Ok thanks bunches. And i didnt even think of posthumous pardons.
This one falls under the 48hr rule. Wait.
Agree…Let’s see Todd Blanche’ formal response to Merchan letter.
Absolutely. That has been jangling in my mind since I read the article.
Smells like panic.
As far as the “gag order,” aside from it having been announced, has anyone noticed it actually cramping President Trump’s style in any real way?
Not that I can tell.
President Trump told us Bragg passed on the case until someone brought enough leverage to force him to do it.
Then he pointed out to is that Merchan was an “acting judge.”
Who has come out of the briar patch smelling like roses and snacking on a great big 400 (**40**) million dollar carrot?
My guess is someone with real power just found out some things after they ____d around.
They really, really do not want President Trump to “go to jail.”
This was their solution.
Bear in mind, in a campaign speech 8 years ago, President Trump “mixed up” his dates and called 9 11 “7 11.”
What are the odds?
You wouldn’t be suggesting that some ‘game theory’ was applied some time back, would you?
😎
8 years is one heck of a long game.
Let’s see if he can sink the putt.
Prayers up.
“8 years is a neck of a long game”.
Actually8 years is warp speed fast since “the game” involves removing America from the clutches of a centuries old Global Cabal.
Again.
A unique campaign strategy…
❤ 😍 😘
Yes, this was certainly a FAFO situation.
The discrepency between what’s in the letter and what’s in the facebook posts gives it slightly more credibility in my eyes to be legitimate.
Still, if it’s legitimate, it’s a mistrial, vacated verdict and you can’t try him again due to double jeopardy.
EDIT: This SHOULD push back sentencing to September, conveniently.
Sorry, but a mistrial would not bar re-prosecution.
Double jeopardy! He was already tried once.
Double jeopardy applies to aquittals, not mistrials.
They had a jury, a trial and a verdict! It’s over when the judge or a juror screwed up!
Correct. The judge can vacate the verdict and declare a mistrial due to juror misconduct. But double jeopardy still doesn’t apply and the prosecution could retry him, assuming they were so foolish to do so.
the government claims a mistrial is when they fail to convict.
“I’ll take times the DOJ respected the Constitution for $400, Alex.”
Doesn’t apply since he was convicted, it would have had he been acquitted.
So, they can retry a defendant a second time when the D is convicted but they don’t like the sentence?
Sorry, not, that guesses, even guesses that are presented as facts still == guesses.
Even the registered democrats that for Trump will have vote changed for the puppet. They are dumber than dumb
Lopsided free speech in the comments is correct from my understanding of jury duty. I was told that exact thing when I served in 2022.
Why doesn’t this draw an immediate mistrial?
According to Breitbart, the posting was a comment on the Facebook page.
This seems to indicate it was not done by a court employee, but that the Facebook page allows for commenters.
If it was just a troll, there is still the lingering question of whether this is a “Where there’s smoke, there’s fire” situation.
I assume Facebook can trace the commenter.
I wondered why it took a week to be made public if this was a public comment. Did a court employee go though last week’s comments to check what was posted? How many people actually post comments to an appellate court’s website? One would think a court page would be news, rules changes, scheduling and links to opinions.
Trump should argue that the appearance of impropriety is itself enough to set aside the verdict. Then, again, Merchan didn’t care about the appearance of impropriety with his political contributions or his daughter’s job.
Zuckerberg is all over this.
In Sundaces description above, it shows that it was posted on the NYS System.
I don’t understand the significance of the picture of the Asian guy.
There isn’t any. It just so happened that the comment was posted in the thread about him.
NYC is bragging about it’s diversity! Apparently, the Asian guy is a judge.
Maybe Merchan wants to try him again so they can claim that President Trump is a felon on 68 counts. Hey I know, but these clowns are actually that stupid.
not stupid, just evil.
Merchans daughter needs to buy another mansion perhaps.
Dershowitz said the judge is the one who should be going to prison. I wonder if that fear prompted this? One thing for sure, it was not altruistic.
If there is any hope for this country’s future – this abomination must be overturned. And Judge Merchan should be the one heading to prison for corrupting our legal system for personal gain.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/06/dershowitz-its-day-after-ruling-i-still-dont/
exactly, if the gop were like the dems they would be already lining up the prosecutions of James, Bragg, Engeron, Merchand, etc etc etc. done exactly the same way they did it to Trump. Conspiracy to interfere with the 2024 election, much stronger case than all the ones against Trump, after all they were not the President.
I hope Trump will not replay allowing the swamp to stay out of Jail. By now all should see why it is dangerous to allow a single one of them escape their just fate. Allowing them to escape is enabling the ongoing corruption and sedition.
Fwiw “lining up prosecutions” in the real world takes a teensy bit longer than it does in reality disconnected Screen World.
In just 150 more DAYS every chance to defeat the Regime and re elect President Trump will be GONE FOREVER.
With so little time left hopefully each of us will spot and reject tempting distraction bait like bashing the made up bogey man, “the gop” and remain 100% FOCUSED on doing what President Trump has asked each of us to do; a 2 Big 2 Rig turn out of VOTERS in EVERY STATE including the darkest of blue states.
If he can blame a mistral on a crooked juror rather than a crooked judge, or a crooked DA, that might be an escape for what hits the fan if he imposes a sentence. He is in a no win situation, and his rear end means more to him than what he may be able to still do to Trump. Whatever it is, it’s not because of any personal integrity.
Judge Merchan is proclaiming that he met the terms assigned to him by the Powers That Be and he is dropping this hot mess in the center of the room. While people are distracted by the hot mess, Merchan is making a break for the exit. He will announce (figuratively speaking) ‘He is buying a sail boat and is going to sail around the world’. It will be ten years before we hear anything about Merchan again.
His daughter made millions off this “trial”.
I’d wager a nice IRS audit would find some ‘discrepencies’ and mis-categorized expenses. Probably enough for 134 year sentence.
x34 if we use the trial’s “new math”.
“The daughter made millions off this ‘trial'”.
As r/the_Donald famously said to Bernie bros in 2016, ” no refunds”.
But perhaps Merchans daughter is like Hunter so there will
be “10% for the Big Guy”.
Merchan’s daughter made millions? Small potatoes. From what I’m reading elsewhere, Trump’s campaign has cleared 400 million in donations in this past week alone. I wonder if Trump will publicly thank the Merchans for helping him raise all that money.
What I find might also be interesting this could be grounds for a change of venue or change of judge in the Steven Bannon New York case.
I doubt it. Is that in NY state court? The feds would take no notice of this.
The fact that Bannon’s NY fraud and money laundering case is also under Merchan, as was Trump’s accountant Allen Weisselberg’s financial fraud trial, and that Merchan is NOT a permanent judge who up until a year ago was only doing family law cases yet somehow got “randomly” assigned all three Trump-related finance-related criminal cases… that is enough to raise a slew of Equal Protection and Due Process questions that a federal court should look into.
The Dems used similar Legal-Swarm attacks against Bannon and Trump, hitting them in multiple jurisdictions federal and state with multiple indictments.
I’m guessing this might be a factor.

Congratulations to Sundance!
Zerohedge is citing this post within a short time after it uploaded here.
👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
Smells like a planted comment. By who and for what reason? I wouldn’t exclude judicial manipulation. Lawfare need only tell the judge what to do about unforeseen incidents such as this, and he complies.
On the other hand, if it’s some joker, he’s better run fast and run far, because he’s made such a mess for the Dems that Trump’s claim of a “show trial” and “rigged jury” will be impossible to ignore.
Also, the joker could actually have a cousin on the jury, but the cousin wasn’t leaking. Then the joker has endangered the cousin, too.
Exactly! Why wouldn’t Merchan simply ignore the Facebook post and pretend that he didn’t see it? Obviously, he doesn’t care about any impropriety!
I agree it looks like a delusional lefty hoping for a conviction. There must be thousands of such wishful posts. But why would the judge publicize it without some kind of corroboration – like familial relationship to one of the jurors. The reaction we now see was guaranteed. If a nothingburger, how does this serve the lawfarians?
Good one: Lawfarians.
I’ve heard tale that they live under the old bridge just outside of town, and that they only come out at night.
Lawfare may seek to elicit a legal misstep from the Trump lawyers, as our host theorizes. Also, they fight in media, and benefit if Trump looks weak, swinging at shadows, should this be a fake. I think it has to be, as jurors are firmly instructed all along not to discuss with each other during trial, and even a panel of TDSers wouldn’t arrive at knowing how they’d each vote before trial end, lest one juror reports to the judge that his instructions are being ignored.
It’s a low probability that this is anything other than a fake. And of course, fakes are Lawfare’s signature, so…
The wording in judge letter and wording in facebook post are different. Is English the judges second language…
Born in Colombia. Came to the US at age six.
I forgot my /S….I know his history.😊😉
Not only is the wording different, Judge Merchan used QUOTATION MARKS around a quote in his letter to President Trump’s lawyers……..
And that “quotation” does not match up to the actual quote.
Did Merchan make up the inaccurate quote?
Did someone give him an inaccurate quote?
Did he not pay attention to detail?
Did he not give due diligence to the accuracy of the quote?
Would he accept such a quote as testimony in his courtroom?
Was someone attempting to hide the fact that the cousin on the jury is a woman?
Why do the QUOTATIONS not match up?
I think Sundance is right to be suspicious.
Sounds like he has not picked up our language since migrating. 🤔
Maybe he’s just gloating.
These people are psychopaths .
Maybe one of the judges on the appellate court read merchan the riot act regarding all the improprieties during the trial and told him to find a way out. At this juncture, if I were PDJT, I would keep my mouth shut if his attorneys told him this could be unraveling. Sometimes discretion is the better part of valor.
He knows the verdict won’t stand on appeal because it is not supported by the evidence. At the same time he can’t politically enter a judgment notwithstanding the verdict because he would get the heat. But declaring a mistrial based on jury misconduct lays the blame on the jury and gets him off the hook.
Doctor Phil, “retribution” is not a word that applies to indicting people for doing something illegal and using the power of their governmental position to do so.
Except that the Commie tribes would fall for it, with the hook, the line, and the sinker.
I’m going to say this….If its been a week they already know the person is related…they had a week to determine this.
Otherwise they would have never released it.
And the only way you can report this if you name the juror to show the relationship with poster.
That is a tangled web to get involved with
They may already know if the commenter really is related to a juror.
Then the court has the problem of determining if the juror really did leak to the commenter or the commenter was just showing off on his own. Need to check text messages between the two, for a start.
It shouldn’t take long at all to verify this.
I dont read this as saying the case was pre determined, I read it as leaking jury deliberations to the public.
if a mistrial is declared based on this leak then Merchand could escape a magnifying glass on his corrupt behavior.
It’s too late for a mistrial, since the verdict was recorded. Technically, the judge would set aside the verdict (or at least that’s what PA law. Probably the same in other states).
Mistral without prejudice another trial that ties him up another 12+ weeks?
Mistrial w/ prejudice would prevent another one and only reason these corruptocrats would choose is to prevent scrutiny of something big.
Agreed. My suspiscion is about the motives of the judge [or a call he got from the WH shocked by the reaction].
It easily could be interpreted as a post by some random enthusiastic lefty hoping for a verdict and disregarded. That is very likely if there is no actual familial relation between poster an a juror, which too can easily be determined before going public. Or the judge could have just waited for PDJT’s team to bring it up. But he didn’t. He went out of his way to make this very explosive claim public, knowing it would be front page news!
If it’s a nonthingburger, why would a judge run to make this mountain out of a molehill, open a huge can of worms and give grounds to the defense for, at minimum, an evidentiary hearing where all of the jurors can be questioned by the defense, under oath?
Suspicous cat remains so.
If it’s a nonthingburger, why would a judge run to make this mountain out of a molehill, open a huge can of worms and give grounds to the defense for, at minimum, an evidentiary hearing where all of the jurors can be questioned by the defense, under oath?
Someone may have noticed the comment and done a screen save before it could be deleted. If the person who noticed the comment notified a others, including a reporter, then it was too late to bury this, so Merchan had to get out in front of this.
Merchan may be trying to control the narrative, rather than having a NYPost headline break the story.
There seems to be a screen save at
https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/4242947/posts
Can’t have another court overturn the verdict because of what a crooked judge did. A person could lose their judgeship if fingered having an illegal court.
Well, one thing is for sure.
The moron and his cousin have been doxxed.
I wouldn’t want to be standing on those “Xs”
I see it as CYA with a little traditional bait and switch on the side.
Does the cabal REALLY want to get called out with their pants down and all the corruption on display at the Supreme Court?
Or..
Maybe they can just say, ” the bad orange man got away all because of one excited juror.”
Then they can say,”We had him! Fair and square! But our solemn (self-righteous) devotion to the rule of law must prevail.”
This way,.. they get to keep all the cheap shots at DJT.
AND cover their dirty deeds.
Good point SD. Merchan doesn’t want SCOTUS to stay this trial. He has to keep it going in New York to keep Trump off campaign trail. BANANA REPUBLIC!
This definitely has all the earmarks of making the entire case go away, disappear.
Suddenly I’m thinking about how cool President Trump has been, he hasn’t acted worried at all, while the rest of us have been seeing red.
Possibly. Trump has not only raised huge amounts of money, but the polling has been better for him (ahead in MI, tied in VA), and the comments by people such as Romney and others that this was a show trial against a political opponent could be indication that the 2016 and 202m Never-Trumpers might think Trump was the lesser of two evils.
I doubt Romney himself would vote for Trump, but the fact that former Trump critics, who were such a standard on the MSM are now defending Trump’s claims of a show trial, is worrisome. The MSM needs those “conservative” Trump critics, and right now it appears that all they have is Larry Hogan from MD.
The last thing the Dems wanted to do was make Trump a martyr with a huge campaign chest.
The real issue is how spill the beansdid a mediocre jury of New York liberals come to a unanimous verdict on a very complicated case within 9 hours. Especially after days outside where they were vulnerable to bribes and threats and be sure that all happened. Then boom they come with guilty verdict the next day on all counts and not one juror who did not believe this perposterous trial. Come on. Get some investigators looking into all those jurors. Where were they on the holiday and how many were influenced. It’s a slam dunk they were coerced so get out there and discover who what where. Wave money in ones face to spill the beans and roll on the others. It was for sure a sham verdict.
This reads like a Lawfare script, the ideal post-verdict reaction Lawfare would want Trump to have. They want him to rage and lash out blindly, and attack in all directions, especially the jury.
Just another example how effed-up our judicial system is, and especially in New York. Again, how can anyone feel they would get a fair shake in court nowadays? And why? Because Chief Johnson, I mean Justice, Roberts, and his band of merry cohorts at The SCROTUS, didn’t step-up when the future of the Republic was at stake. They chickened out: “no standing”. Everything that followed is because of that decision. And they are worried about their reputation? Their relevancy? What a laugh.
More than suspicious. Whatever the reason, we know for darn sure Merchan isn’t doing this because he’s had a come to Jesus moment.
This article has some saying it’s a troll. I tried looking up this supposed “troll’s” account but nothing.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/06/breaking-mistrial-new-york-case-judge-merchan-issues/
The posting was clearly from a troll so Merchan has some other filthy plan working.
The letter from Judge Merchan doesn’t come close to matching the wording in the Facebook post…
“THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HARD WORK AGAINST THE MAGA CRAZIES.”
“My cousin is a juror on Trump’s criminal case and they are going to convict him tomorrow according to HER. Thank you 🙏 New York Courts!!! ❤️”
The judge’s letter minimized the damage from the Facebook post!
All the efforts of Lawfare have been to RUIN PDJT in the court of public opinion as well as the court of law.
Perhaps the shock of seeing that the verdict became a juggernaut to give him MORE support has caused the architects to consider having the verdict thrown out before it gets worse and takes on a life of its own on appeal.
I think this is a hoax. The poster apparently is a shit stirrer…
Why would the judge put this out unless sure?
