Corrupt prosecutor Andrew Weissmann on Wednesday gushed over Judge Juan Merchan as the jury deliberated in the lawfare trial against President Trump.
Recall that Andrew Weissmann was Robert Mueller’s “pit bull” during the Russian collusion inquisition. Weissmann was unable to take out Trump during the 2+ year Russian collusion hoax so he has been chomping at the bit ever since.

President Joe Biden’s plans to deliver an address after the verdict in former President Donald Trump’s business records trial in New York shows how political and “rigged” it is, Trump 2024 National Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said during a Wednesday interview on Breitbart News Daily, noting that Trump and his team are expected to sit in the courthouse until the jury returns with its verdict.
Reports are circulating that Biden plans to formally address the nation from the White House after a verdict is reached in the business records trial in New York.
When asked about what she thinks of that move, Leavitt said it shows this has been

Photos showing vast spaces of emptiness at the Philadelphia rally began to circulate on Wednesday from New York Post reporter Steven Nelson. “Photos from President Biden’s Philadelphia rally: the school’s gym is only about half full of supporters A good amount of space is empty and spacious press workspace takes up the rest,” Nelson noted on X.

As the Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump returned to court Wednesday for corrupt judge Juan Merchan’s kangaroo trial in New York City as the jury began deliberations on his fate.
During the jury deliberations on Wednesday afternoon, Trump’s attorney Alina Habba appeared as a guest on Fox News with Shannon Bream, who attempted to run interference for the Biden regime. Bream likely wishes she had never made this decision because she was outclassed in a battle of the wits.
Bream opened by querying whether there is a net positive for Trump
Bryan Gillis - the Louisville Police Detective who arrested Scottie Scheffler at Valhalla earlier this month - has fumed over his 'honesty and integrity' coming into question after all charges against the World No 1 golfer were dropped on Wednesday.
Scheffler had faced four charges, including second-degree assault of a police officer, following the dramatic events of May 17; when he was arrested and led away in handcuffs after arriving for the second round of the PGA Championship.
The 27-year-old was accused of speeding away in his car when told to pull over by officers - and dragging Gillis to the ground in the process - before he was arrested
Judge Juan Merchan is keeping former President Donald Trump off the campaign trail by forcing him to wait at the courthouse while the jury deliberates, Trump lawyer Jesse Binnall said during an interview on Breitbart News Daily.
“Why are they keeping him in the courtroom?” host Mike Slater asked Binnall during the Wednesday appearance.
“I think we all know that the entire reason that Judge Merchan had scheduled this case for when he scheduled it for and why he has been very, very deliberate in keeping Donald Trump in the courtroom and now making so he can’t even, you know, leave the courthouse area is because he wants to
The fault lines of the US economy are 'about ready to crack' - that is the stark warning from one of the America's top CEOs Bob Nardelli.
The former boss of Home Depot and Chrysler says the Biden administration's policy missteps could create significant challenges for the next president.
'What I've seen over the past three-and-a-half years is that a series of debacles and missteps have created a tremendous pressure on the fault lines of our economy, and they're about ready to crack,' Nardelli told FOX Business.
Joe Biden traveled to deep blue Philly on Wednesday to pander to the black community as black voters abandon the Democrat party.
81-year-old Biden lined up for a photo op with fellow Democrats such as Senator Bob Casey after he arrived in Philadelphia.
A reporter asked Biden if he would be serving his full term or handing power to Kamala Harris.
“President Biden, will you be serving your full four-year term or handing over power to Vice President Harris?” a reporter asked Biden.
Conservative radio host and litigator Mark Levin said Wednesday that former President Donald Trump should immediately appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court if convicted by a Manhattan jury, due to serious constitutional issues. (X) The jury began its deliberations Wednesday after Judge Juan Merchan issued his instructions — and, controversially, told the jurors that while they needed to be unanimous on guilt or innocence, they did not need to agree on what underlying federal crime must have been committed in order for a state felony charge of falsification of business records to be brought.
Joe Biden on Wednesday traveled to Girard College, an independent boarding school in Philadelphia to pander to black voters since he is losing their support.

To bet on the upcoming presidential election, don't just rely on polls. Look at the billions of taxpayer dollars President Joe Biden is pouring into "community organizations" in "disadvantaged communities" to tip the election scales. The community organizer who became president, Barack Obama, was a master at machine politics, using federal tax dollars to turn community organizations -- left-wing not-for-profits -- into a fifth estate. Their staffs, paid using taxpayer money but not tied to government rules, could hit the streets at election time and build turnout.Biden has scaled up Obama's playbook, using billions of dollars

President Trump was back in court on Wednesday morning in Alvin Bragg’s ‘hush money’ show trial in New York City.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg indicted Trump in April 2023 on 34 felony counts related to ‘hush payments’ he made to Stormy Daniels.
Trump was accused of paying porn star Stormy Daniels, AKA, Stephanie Clifford, ‘hush payments’ through his then-attorney Michael Cohen in a scheme to silence her and stop the story about their alleged affair from being published in the National Enquirer.
The jury deliberations began on Wednesday after Judge Merchan instructed them to choose among the three predicate crimes Trump supposedly committed.
During portions of an interview with CBS News Immigration and Politics Reporter Camilo Montoya-Galvez that took place last Thursday and were released on Tuesday, DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas stated that the Biden administration has “done an extraordinary job to deal with an unprecedented level of migration,” and that the unprecedented levels of migration are due to other factors.
Mayorkas responded to arguments that the Biden administration has encouraged people to come to the border by stating, “That is false. If we take a look at migration, not just at our southern border, but in context, the level of migration throughout the hemisphere is unprecedented. And throughout the world,

It appears the stress of puppeteering her dementia-ridden husband’s failing campaign has finally gotten the better of first lady Jill Biden.
Until now she has attempted to appear calm and unruffled in public despite the undoubted chaos behind the scenes of the Biden administration, but Mrs. Biden appeared to completely snap during what should have been a softball appearance on “The View” on Wednesday.
Taking her place among those illustrious ladies the day after the Biden campaign’s disastrous news conference outside the courthouse housing Donald Trump’s current trial, Biden made all sorts of dire claims that made Robert De Niro’s hysterical speech look downright mundane in comparison.
The charges against 10-time PGA Tour winner Scottie Scheffler were dismissed on Wednesday, nearly two weeks after he was arrested just before the second round of the PGA Championship in Kentucky.
Jefferson County Attorney Mike O’Connell addressed the court and filed a motion to have all charges against the two-time major winner dismissed after finding in the prosecutor’s investigation that the evidence corroborated his claim that it was all a "misunderstanding."
Scheffler, 27, was facing four charges including felony assault over injuries a Louisville Metro Police Department officer sustained during the encounter on May 17.
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is planning to virtually nominate President Joe Biden as the party’s presidential nominee ahead of their convention in August.
DNC Chairman Jaime Harrison issued a statement on Tuesday in which he explained that the Democrat Party would be taking matters into their own hands and holding a “virtual roll,” in order to ensure that Biden appears on the ballot in all 50 states, according to the Hill.Under Ohio law, political parties are required to certify their presidential and vice presidential nominees at least 90 days before an election. However, the Democrat Party’s convention is scheduled to occur between August 19-22,
In a memo published on May 8th, Xavier Becerra, Biden’s Secretary of Health and Human Services, announced a new plan to address “racial inequities” in the organ transplant industry. The plan, which covers 90 of the 257 transplant hospitals in the U.S., proposes a points system to grade the included hospitals.
Under this points system, a hospital earns a point for any successful kidney transplant, but 1.2 points for a kidney transplant with a low-income recipient as part of a “health equity performance adjustment.”
While the system is ostensibly colorblind, the Biden administration’s announcement gives race as a motivating factor: Becerra stated that the policy represents the Biden administration
First Lady Jill Biden said Wednesday on ABC’s “The View” that American voters will choose “good” President Joe Biden over “evil” former President Donald Trump. (snip) Biden added, “Those polls are going to turn. I’m confident of it because as time goes on and as people start to focus a little bit more about what’s at stake and start to become educated on the issues and the differences between the two men, I believe Americans are going to choose good over evil.”

Amid world outcry against an Israeli airstrike that took out two Hamas terrorist leaders but also reportedly killed dozens of Palestinian civilians, Israel Defense Forces said Tuesday that the “small munitions” used in the attack simply could not have caused the fire that caused such devastation. They think a Hamas ammunition storage facility may be to blame:
The Israel Defense Forces said Tuesday that a hidden store of weapons may have been the actual cause of a deadly blaze in southern Gaza’s Rafah, and that an airstrike that targeted an adjacent area had used small munitions that would not ignite such a fire on their own.
The military suspects that the munitions
Across the dial, the Regime Media’s network evening newscasts showed mixed interest in covering an embarrassing blow to the Biden administration’s efforts in Gaza: the partial collapse of the temporary pier built at President Biden’s behest, in order to expedite the delivery of relief supplies to the civilian population- known derisively as “Port Biden”. The most through reporting comes via NBC’s Raf Sanchez, who filed this dispatch within his Rafah recap: RAF SANCHEZ: Meanwhile, NBC News has learned the U.S. military has been forced to halt aid deliveries into Gaza by sea, after three officials said bad weather damaged its temporary pier.

Protesters may be the least of the Democratic Party’s concerns in Chicago after the mother of the Biden family black sheep timed a tell-all release for the week of the convention.
A settlement may have been reached last summer in the child support payment case between Hunter Biden and his former lover Lunden Roberts, but it appeared silence from the mother of Navy Joan Roberts was no part of the deal. Tuesday, word got out that the one-time stripper and executive assistant to the scandal-ridden Biden was releasing a book on Aug. 20, the second day of the Democratic National Convention.
There are two times people make really bad mistakes: When they’re over-confident and when they’re desperate. The Biden administration is not over-confident. Desperation is why it dragged out an over-the-hill, minimally coherent, not-very-bright actor to be its spokesman regarding the show trial that Alvin Bragg and Judge Juan Merchan have staged in Manhattan to try to sideline Trump’s increasingly successful candidacy.
The big headline was that Robert De Niro spoke outside the courthouse where the Trump trial was being held. I’ll have more on that in a minute, but the real news should be that it was the Biden administration that organized De Niro’s appearance, along with the
