Judge Merchan: The jurors do not need to believe a crime was committed in order to convict Trump of unlawfully hiding a crime he never committed.
Conservative Treehouse ^ | May 26, 2024 | Sundance

Finding President Trump guilty of a crime is seemingly a foregone conclusion. Even the White House is saying Joe Biden will deliver remarks to the nation from the official executive office as soon as the guilty verdict is delivered {SEE HERE}.

Judge Merchan has yet to release the public version of jury instructions, however he previously decided last week that the jurors do not need to agree on a predicate crime in order to find President Trump guilty of trying to hide one.

The really stupid people here are the GOP elite.

The silence is unbelievable; they all seem just useful idiots who pretend to serve. We do not have a political party in opposition, how does that feel? It is though our neighbors are being mugged and the police are just standing around.

This is why the founders knew the Constitution would not be ratified without the 2ndA, the people then had lived tyranny up close on a daily basis.

The Judge Merchan court case vs. Donald Trump, is a political campaign ad, the funds for which, are not required to be reported in campaign finance laws.

The pre-planned outcome of the case, has objectives:

- an appeal by the State of New York, to the New York State Court of Appeals, requesting clarification of the way by which, a misdemeanor shall be elevated to a felony; and

- the jury finding: Donald Trump is guilty of criminal intent, in keeping with leftist dogma, that the left has authority to:

a) hand out Get Out of Jail Cards to leftists (defined to be void of criminal intent), but

b) assert that criminal intent (and “racism!”) are systemic among conservatives and Republicans.

Many are now intimidated and paralyzed by the obscene treatment given to to protesters on Jan 6.

They have been treated that horrible way for that very reason.

This bastard “judge” is the reason why millions of Caribbeaners are hauling ass and movin’ somewhere where whitey will take care of them. Trump needs to sue the ass off Jose and his little Pineapple Princess.

they have been protesting but when the MSM is not on your side but muzzles protest, protest does little, registering voters, doing early voting so we can win does,

he will be given ~9 months at Rikers, to begin immediately after trial adjourns.

This ends his campaign, and even if he were to somehow win, he will not be able to go to DC to be sworn in.

Merchan said that they did not have to agree on the predicate crime, but they still have to be unanimous for a verdict.

If there has ever been a need for expedited appeals to the U.S. Supreme Court, New York’s reckless miscarriage of Justice begs for redress.

The only hope the Trump defense has, in my opinion, is for one or more jurors not to accept any of Cohen’s testimony because the juror knows that he’s a serial liar and has seen him lie again and again in the courtroom. If that juror can just hold onto that thought and realize nothing has been proved without Cohen’s mendacious testimony only then can Trump get a hung jury.
