What if no money is involved? What if Merchan got an “intelligence briefing” from the DHS at which they showed him the “intelligence” they have on him regarding dead girls or live boys? And suggested that it might remain between just them and him if Merchan steers the legal proceedings the correct way?
Exactly my thought too, same technique the guv commies got to Johnson (who made a power sharing agreement with Jeffries) and ultimately selling out our nation as a whole and us as individuals. These crooks aren’t doing it to make the country more secure but insuring their kickbacks, grift, and payoffs keep coming.
Fair guess is the hard rat party (worse than the GOPe if one can believe that) is getting the cash straight from the judge’s daughter slush fund and all those ‘friends’ and lawyers.
It would be interesting to see if Judge Merchan was one of the judges surveilled by John Brennan via the supercomputer “The Hammer” - for extortion purposes, according to Dennis Montgomery, who wrote the software HAMR to make it possible. Lots and lots of people were surveilled, including Donald Trump, Chief Justice John Roberts, and many other judges.
I don’t know if anything has been done to stop the surveillance since Montgomery blew the whistle. The FBI gave him immunity in return for his documentation and then buried everything and gagged him. My presumption is that the surveillance continues, since no accountability has forced it to end.
