What if Justice Merchan has been compromised?

Original Article

Posted By: DW626, 5/22/2024 3:22:21 AM

Given what we know about what has been going on in Justice Juan Merchan’s Manhattan courtroom, including the preposterous, over-the-top bias of this judge for the prosecution and his overt antipathy for the defendant, Donald Trump, what explains his willing destruction of his own reputation as a judge? Each and every legal scholar who has weighed in on the course of the trial, from Alan Dershowitz to Jonathan Turley and countless others, (with the exception of those paid by CNN and MSNBC) is gobsmacked by Merchan’s thoroughly unconstitutional rulings, gag orders, contempt charges, exclusion of practically every witness with relevant testimony for the defense, and his allowance of non-relevant

There is NO "what if ?" It is clear as day he is absolutely compromised and unfair in his rulings against the defense. He will be reversed no doubt, and if he is OK with ruining his rep for the likes of Joe Biden then so be it. He is there to further the persecution of Trump, justice and fairness are not even being considered. He should be removed from the bench, sanctioned and even disbarred, IMOHO.

Not many of the Columbian Military were not bought off by the Cartels, so it is, most likely, it is that way with Merchan's father who emigrated 40+/- years ago... With that background it's not difficult to see the apple not falling far from the tree.

It was never about a conviction in the first place. It was about keeping Trump tied up during campaign season. Certainly he has been bribed or blackmailed. He knows any conviction will be overturned for a hundred reasons and he will probably be disbarred. That doesn't matter because Trump can never get the election season back. Too bad for the communists its backfiring.

The judge is on a suicide march. It does not matter if he is making reversible error. He wants to always be known as the guy who stuck it to Trump. Any errors will be addressed on appeal. Of course, by then it will be way too late. BTW...Fat Fani of GA and the crooked judge both won their elections...so it is obvious that some things never change. The GOP's are only good at complaining at the injustice of the system but only after it is too late to change anything.

Lots of people will do or say things for a cause. Lots of the cause these days is for the democrat party, which is detrimental to the American people. Today on TV, James Coney is telling people to vote for Joe Biden. So Comey is against the majority of the American people. So glad he was fired.

FTA: "Playing fair is not one of the left’s character traits." An expression that doesn't seem to be popular right now: "The ends justify the means." The Leftist, progressives, et. al., are True Believers. If you are absolutely convinced you are right and your opponent is completely wrong, then it is perfectly obvious that "the ends justify the means." In the past, the True Believers believed in a religion that they thought justified their actions (and there's still a lot of that in today's world.) The Left are secular True Believers.

Last Friday morning, top-ranked golfer Scottie Scheffler arrived at the Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville, Ky., for the second round of the PGA Championship. Traffic was stopped due to an accident that had taken place earlier that morning, and Scheffler tried to drive around it. The original reports were that an officer tried to stop Scheffler’s car, and the golfer dragged the officer, causing injury. Police arrested Scheffler and hit him with four charges, including a felony. Det.

Federal magistrate judge Sarah Netburn is one of those judges who probably has ordinary Democrats doing face-palms so hard that you can see perfect fingerprints embedded in their foreheads. Naturally, Presidentish Joe Biden has decided what Netburn really deserves is a promotion to a U.S. District Court — and Sen Ted Cruz (R-Texas) was having none of it in Netburn's confirmation hearing on Wednesday. Before we get to that, though, a few words about the oh-so-very woke Judge Netburn. In 2022, Netburn found herself hearing the transfer request of William McClain — and this is where any questions about Netburn's fitness to serve are all answered with a hard NO.

After Michael Cohen's disastrous testimony, it would seem that the case against President Trump over the bookkeeping entry in a hush-money payment case would be in tatters as it goes to the jury. Many legal eagles have said as much. But the politically partisan New York justice in this case, Juan Merchan, doesn't give up that fast and clearly wants to salvage the case. He's instructing the jury to ignore the detail about the 'underlying crime' and treat the case the same way a burglary case is treated.

During an interview with MSNBC, Kirschner praised the Democrat’s legal team for throwing his wife under the bus as a way to protect him. “Once the cases were severed, you know, there’s a preference in the law for codefendants to be tried together jointly in one trial,” Kirschner said. “That’s true for lots of reasons.

I have been patiently waiting for someone in the media to explain the meaning of “tariff” to the general public, rather than going on endlessly about the implications of imposing, for example, a 50% tariff on vehicles, a 20% tariff on steel, and a 10% tariff on aluminum on foreign nations, specifically now on China. It’s my belief that the general public would like an overview explaining tariffs instead of listening to political tirades from numerous politicians and knee-jerk journalists, reporters, editors, and “talking heads” about what might happen if the United States adopts these new tariffs.
