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 Bogato, Colombia born judge has made his ruling.

One comment in the comments section says this:

(Fifth Amendment: “No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment …”

Sixth Amendment: “In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall… be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation…”

To charge someone with a secret unnamed predicate crime is itself a crime.)

All they have to do is believe that at some point in his life Trump may have spit on a sidewalk like a dictator.

He was raised in the Columbian culture, his dad was a Columbian military officer. No surprise he doesn’t understand American culture, laws, and our Constitution.

“Ladies and Gentlemen of the jury: the Bad Orange Man is sitting here in the courtroom and you have the opportunity to find him guilty. Guilty of what, doesn’t matter. You know he’s a bad man. He’s a threat to democracy and you need to do your duty as global citizens and put him in prison where he belongs.”

The really stupid people here are the GOP elite. They do nothing publicly to protest how Trump is being treated. And in private they snicker about it.

Those fools don’t realize that they’re next.

I hope every jury member broke the rules and watched the Bronx speech.

Too bad other state’s AGs can’t file some sort of emergency injunction for what is clear election interference.

I have a hard time believing that there won’t be at least one juror who calls BS and refuses to convict.

No foreign born person should ever hold elected office or be a cop or a judge.

How many want the risk of being doxxed if they acquit Trump?

I have a hard time believing that everybody on that jury has zero integrity.

I could be wrong.

Call me an optimist.

On the jury instructions alone, this case should be dismissed by an appeals court. But they don’t care. They just want Trump to be convicted before the election.
