Or perhaps the idiot who posted this gave the entire rigged lawfare process an out because they are headed for a quick Supreme Court case that makes the entire NY criminal justice system look really bad. It’s destroying Biden and his regime. So now they can blame it on the jury, duck out of a retrial and back out a mess in which they grossly miscalculated.
That is my take on it too. A stinging rebuke of Merchan, Bragg and NY is coming and they know it.
The whole purpose of it backfired big time. This could be the way to get out of it and blame someone else. Ending it this way would take away the focus on what a sham it was and put the failure on something else.
Notice how the process for all these Trump cases is running into snags or slowing down.
