Donald Trump is already attacking the judge handling his hush money case and spelling his name incorrectly
Fortune ^ | March 31, 2023 | Patricia Hurtado, Bob Van Voris, Bloomberg

Posted on 04/01/2023 7:16:08 AM PDT by 4Runner

“This is going to be an enormous undertaking because of the nature of who the defendant is,” said Cyrus Vance Jr., the former Manhattan District Attorney who preceded current DA Alvin Bragg. “Trump has a history of being difficult to keep him and his organization on track,” Vance said. “It is going to be a really big job.”

That’s already evident. On his Truth Social platform Friday, Trump trashed the judge — New York State Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan — claiming he “HATES ME” and spelling his name incorrectly in the process. “His name is Juan Manuel Marchan, was hand picked by Bragg & the Prosecutors, & is the same person who ‘railroaded’ my 75 year old former CFO, Allen Weisselberg, to take a ‘plea’ deal,” the former president wrote.

Trump, who in 2016 famously attacked the federal judge in his Trump University civil case as biased because of his Mexican ancestry, has shown no reluctance to criticize judges, who are ethically barred from fighting back. Merchan, born in Colombia, will be in the hot seat in what could be the biggest case ever tried in the Manhattan criminal court.

If the judge has a grudge against Trump, that is grounds for a mistrial based on conflict of interest.

The nerve of this guy huh? Anyone think alvin ‘chipmunk’ bragg did any judge shopping or was it part of the plan from the beginning. Were judges lining up to get a shot at “OMB”?

At least he didn’t mistake Rolling Fork as Rolling Stone, but I guess the Left (i.e. media) thinks that isn’t important...

We're worried about spelling from the man who gave us "covfefe?"

Trump attacks every thing and everyone. But it's often not a smart attack. It's his downfall and why he lost in 2020 and alienated enough voters in 2022 to prevent a Red Wave.

He WILL NOT WIN in 2024 even if he's the GOP nominee. For the sake of country and the America First agenda we must be looking beyond DJT.

I have always thought the charges were not the point, the point was ALWAYS to get Trump in a lie under oath, or to have him thrown in jail for contempt by the judge.

Fortune Magazine - talk about a dinosaur POS... which nobody buys of advertises with anymore.

The old periodicals lose huge amounts of money and wind up with sugar daddies or whoring themselves to pay the bills.

Thanks for your Trump bash. We sure do miss that kind of thing around these parts.

That’s what Rush always used to warn about. Process crimes I think it’s called?

That Trump University case was a farce. There was no degree promised and there was no such impression given. Just another “Get Trump” scenario.
