Even CNN recognizes this may be a problem.

Gee, you think that has anything to do with the stories about Clarence Thomas coming out now?

Meh. Laws have become something Democrats laugh at, all while wielding it as a weapon against their opponents.

It's going to be funny if he really DIDN'T make the donation, but is a victim of ActBlue taking money from a large (foreign?) donor and then splitting the donation into small amounts and just assigning them to random people on their mailing lists. Which narrative will they go with? $15.00 is a really small amount for a judge of his wealth to make to a Presidential candidate. Why would he risk being found out for such a small amount?

The judge came here at the age of 6 from Columbia. Anybody know if he is an American citizen?

The judge…….DA Bragg… when this is over their lives will be dramatically different as they try to piece them back together. Think Avanatti who was being proclaimed a Dem presidential candidate….

Trump gets it done behind the scenes sometimes….

Judge Merchan should recuse himself.

Lots of states have elected judges who are therefore part of the political process. I don’t see how laws prohibiting their donations aren’t prohibiting their free speech rights.

That doesnt mean you can’t take their donations into account when you decide how to vote.

I was reading this early this morning, went to several articles, and was dismayed that they are pushing this when he apparently made three $10 donations. Seriously?!

I don't like the guy or his history but $10 donations are barely enough to be polite. And on top of that, they were apparently years ago.

IOW, Judge Merchan has more obvious ethical violations than Trump. Maybe Merchan should be the one being indicted.

A message from the boss:
