At last, we can see Alvin Bragg's underlying criminal theory: he doesn't have one. Bragg and Judge Merchan are running the real trial in the court of public opinion, not to deliver justice but to hurt Trump's presidential campaign by branding him a convicted felon during the election. They seek to do this by lying to the jury -- for example, by pretending to have a criminal theory.
The prosecution rested their case without specifying the second crime, nor giving a shred of evidence for the first: even if we took Michael Cohen's testimony at face value, ignoring that he's a serial perjurer who confessed to six different felonies on Monday morning alone, his claim that Trump himself ordered the monthly payments that were calculated from Cohen's loan reimbursement demand and deemed them “legal fees” would not constitute a crime.
That case is dead in the water on appeal, but Merchan's parallel trial, which has little to do with established law and instead runs on innuendo and vagaries, aims for a temporary conviction. In it, Cohen and David Pecker explain election law to a rigged jury while Merchan allows the prosecution to dazzle them with inadmissible evidence and irrelevant, noncriminal details couched in nefarious-sounding terms like “hush money” and “catch and kill,” all the while keeping crucial information like Cohen's SDNY charges and Brad Smith's expert testimony on actual election law from reaching the jury.
Merchan reneged on his promise to release the jury instructions by Thursday night, apparently to prevent lawyers from picking apart his instructions so jury members don't find out how preposterous they are, because they're going to read the news and talk to friends, family, and co-workers in the week Merchan gave them off.
That's why he gave them the week off.

It has been an incredible thing to follow. There seems to be nothing too dastardly for the left.
They want a Conviction it doesn’t matter if he appeals and wins they’ll spam the conviction everywhere
Nothing at all.
I was just reading about another airline failure. This scares me. MAYBE…the Airlines/FBI are trying to establish a ‘pattern’ so that when Trump flies, HIS flight accident will seem like just another airline malfunction!!
Again, not a conspiracy theory, but rather a spoiler alert. I wonder!!
BTTT
Then arrest them all in 2025. Bragg, Merchan, Jack Smith, Garland, the prosecutors, all of them. We don’t need a crime to put them on trial.
“they’ll spam the conviction everywhere”
Starting with taterhead planning to talk about it after the verdict.
First, trump must fire all the DoJ lawyers. (Like Clinton did).
Hire some back after vetting.
I agree. Things are different now and if there are no rules, then there are no rules. Make them feel the pain.
What doesn’t kill Trump makes him stronger. After the E Jean fiasco, I have no faith in a NY jury. A black man accused of raping a white girl in the Jim Crow south had a better chance at a fair trial than Trump does in New York. Trump will wear the badge of convicted felon into the White House.
Biden will refuse to debate a “convicted felon” - so that answers THAT question. Pal.
Love American Thinker. They have such great writers.
Bkmk
aims for a temporary conviction.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
They want Trump jailed so he can be killed by a crazy inmate.
The Deep State did the same to Epstein in a federal lock up....it will be much easier to do Trump in the state prison system.They likely already have the crazy inmate all lined up.
I expect that Biden will remove Trump’s secret service protection once Trump is sentenced.
Will the secret service stand down? They are wusses if they do.
Guarantee if you surveil them, there are improper communications between the prosecutor and judge.
The kind of thing you’ll never be able to prove.
so all the NPC/incels on X and Truth Social can post “Hurr-Durr, See, see! DRUMPF is a convicted CRIMINAL! DeRp” while awaiting their toaster pastry to cool off.
The appeLs process will take past the election. Thats their game plan.
Remember when the Dems said a two tier legal system was a bad thing.
Good. These rigged fake news “debates” have no upside for Trump. It will be Trump vs the moderators and no matter how well he does it will be reported the next day that Biden won.
Meanwhile, Biden can only exceed expectations because they are so incredibly low.
I think at this point, the left is tied up in knots over what to do here. With all their lawfare resulting in Trumps polling numbers going up, people’s eyes are open and nobody is buying what the left is selling except the diehards. Young people, particularly young black and latino males are leaving the democrat party in droves per Jame Carville, and in my opinion this is the direct result of all this lawfare. People know this is a political witch hunt, and even many democrats just can’t go along with it.
