Judge Merchan’s Daughter Reportedly Caught Concealing Work for Harris Campaign
Headline USA ^ | August 20, 2024 | Ken Silva

Why are you and Loren Merchan using the same office for Authentic Campaigns and Avalanche Acquisitions while you’re still working for the Kamala Harris and Joe Biden?'

=====================================================================

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) On Aug. 1, Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, opened an investigation into the daughter of Democrat Judge Juan Merchan—who’s set to sentence Donald Trump in the Manhattan campaign finance case on Sept. 18—over her past work for Vice President Kamala Harris.

In response to Jordan’s probe, a business partner for Judge Merchan’s daughter, Loren Merchan, said their firm, Authentic Campaigns Inc., was being “targeted by a baseless right-wing conspiracy theory that suggests our company is somehow involved in the Donald Trump fraud trial in New York.” The business partner, Mike Nellis—an organizer for “White Dudes for Harris”—further denied that Authentic has done business with Harris since at least before Jan. 1, 2023.

However, conservative media personality Laura Loomer has revealed information suggesting that Merchan and Nellis have indeed provided services for the Harris campaign via another corporate entity, Avalanche Acquisitions LLC.

Loomer has reported inaccuracies in the past—such as when she falsely said Orlando neo-Nazi Kent “Boneface” McLellan was a CIA asset—but her info on this matter appears to be solid. She posted receipts showing that Merchan and Nellis are both officers for Avalanche, and that Avalanche has provided services for the Biden Victory Fund, which is now reportedly the Harris Victory Fund.

“Why are you and Loren Merchan using the same office for Authentic Campaigns and Avalanche Acquisitions while you’re still working for the Kamala Harris and Joe Biden?” Loomer asked Monday in a Tweet directed at Nellis, saying that she’s sending her findings to the Judiciary Committee.

Nellis didn’t respond to Loomer’s tweet, and Loren Merchan didn’t immediately respond to a Headline USA email inquiry about the matter.

Loomer tweeted again later Monday night, this time revealing footage of Nellis at Loren’s wedding.

Loomer said the wedding footage is evidence that Nellis lied when he said he never had communication with Judge Merchan. But this appears to be a typical Loomer embellishment, as Nellis said in his response to Jordan that he never spoke to Judge Merchan about the Trump prosecution.

Will it gain traction and make a difference? That’s all that matters.

The truth always matters. Evil only thrives by keeping the stupid in the dark.

Both sides.

But these people merit special scrutiny...

Family political activity is not enough for a judge to recuse. If it was, we’d be handing the Democrats a weapon against Clarence Thomas.

According to the New York Bar Association, to be appointed Judge in New York, one has to be a U.S. Citizen, a Naturalized Citizen, or a Permanent Resident Alien.

Born in Columbia, do we have any evidence that Merchan went through a formal Naturalization process, or is Trump at the mercy of a resident alien?????

Yeah.

Let us know when election law is enforced on any democrat in good standing with the Swamp.

“Family political activity is not enough for a judge to recuse. If it was, we’d be handing the Democrats a weapon against Clarence Thomas.”

There could be a difference when one is simply advocating for their political beliefs (Thomas’s wife) and one is supposedly realizing serious financial gains off of their family connections (Merchan’s daughter).

Putting up a flag upside down.
Making millions of dollars specifically on anti trump activity.
It is doubtful the first is political activity. Judge Thomas’ wife says it was a response to neighbor harassing her not political activity. Additionally no monetary gain or influence.
Merchan family, money, influence based on trial and on outcome...big deal. The judge has made small donation to Biden and other democrats through ACT Blue. That is against ethical rules and speaks to bias.
The specifics of Merchan’s daughter’s political activity is summed up in the House Judiciary Committee’s investigation.

Merchan and his princess need to be in JaySix jail for interfering with the American’s election. Racist bigots.

Get a conservative DA to prosecute her, that would be a hoot.

Who do you mean by "we"? I wouldn't expect him or anyone else to send you personally a certified copy of his naturalization papers.

Considering how long he's been on the bench, and the fact that neither Trump nor any other party or attorney that has ever appeared before him has raised this as an issue, it's pretty safe to assume he meets the basic legal requirements for the job.

But if that isn't enough for you, you can always prepare and submit a NY freedom of information act request for those records.

Good luck!

Permanent Resident Alien meets the requirements for being appointed to the job. Merchan was appoionted. So he would be legally on the bench, regardless.

But it would be a shame, and worthty of note, if someone who cannot vote throws Trump in the brig.

I contacted a US Representative about this and the underling who got back to me said, as you seem to have, that “of course he’s a Citizen. He is a judge.”

But see page 2, questions G and H. Clearly, Permanent Resident Alien qualifies:
