Everything about this sham trial is unconstitutional. It doesn’t even matter if Trump is convicted and it overturned the next day. The Democrats will go to any length to prevent Trump from being reelected. I’m sure they have other plans up their sleeves.

I am going to be a bit contrarian...

I believe that the jury will return a not guilty verdict on all charges.

Call if a small remnant of faith in humanity.

Then, the deep state mafia can go after Trump alleging some sort of impropriety in the case.

Then, they will focus on the remaining cases...

Meanwhile, the clock is ticking and it is ever closer to when I cast my vote.

May God grant me my wish...

This will be overturned on appeal after the election but Merchan does not care because he wanted to deliver the guilty verdict to Biden so he could use it before the election. Mark Levin says the only way to get it potentially overturned BEFORE the election is to file for a writ of certiorari directly with the US Supreme Court alleging that Merchan’s misdirection was for purposes of affecting a national election. They would argue this is not just any case but so important nationally and the reversible error so apparent that an expedited appeal directly to the SC is required. No chance they would be granted the writ for review if it was controlled by Dems. But the 6 Republicans on the court have been accepting other lawfare case issues for appeal and ruled positively on them

In other words, the accusation is evidence of a crime. Good 15th century witch-hunting prosecution.

Back then, they had an unique way of assessing guilt of being a witch. The woman was tied up in a certain fashion and thrown in a pond. If the woman sank and drown, she was innocent. If she floated she was burned at the stake.

The case won’t last two minutes in appellate court, but the media and democrats will ride it 24/7 until it is overturned.

The New York judicial system might get back to it in about two years.

The real purpose of all this (besides get Trump) is to set it up that Trump looks absolutly guilty of something. And then WHEN the Supreme Court actually does the right thing they will use it as an excuse to either bypass the Supreme Court or remove those who disagree and replace them with quislings.

Never forget the goal is to destroy our constitutional government in all ways, shape and form.

If some jurors believe that Trump falsified business documents solely to cover up a tax crime, while others believe that he falsified business documents solely to cover up an election crime, the jury can still convict Trump on the felony-level falsifying-documents charges, despite disagreeing on the predicate crimes.

Here’s What Could Happen If Trump Is Found Guilty in the Stormy Daniels Case
PJ Media ^ | 05/29/2024 | Matt Vespa:

According to conservative radio host Mark Levin, in the event of a guilty verdict, Trump could seek a direct appeal to the Supreme Court.

“I asked my friend of nearly 45-years [sic], Arthur Fergenson, who served as a law clerk to the late chief justice, Warren Burger, and one of the smartest lawyers I know, if he represented President Trump how he might seek a direct appeal to the Supreme Court if necessary,” Levin wrote in a post on X/Twitter.

Levin posted Fergenson’s reply.

The US Supreme Court can act by its statutory writs of certiorari to take a case from a lower appellate court, and the Court also has a host of other processes, often called common law writs. I became acquainted with these common law writs (actually authorized as a general matter by the Judiciary Act of 1789: law.justia.com/constitution/u… ), when IBM sought review of a discovery order by a vindictive federal judge when I was clerking for Chief Justice Warren Burger. A total of six petitions were filed; all were denied, and rarely are any common law writs ever issued by the Supreme Court, but there are, nonetheless, multiple ways to offer the Supreme Court an opportunity to forthwith review.

BREAKING: The Biden-Harris team is holding a press conference outside the courthouse where Trump’s trial is taking place

They’re openly taunting him—almost boasting about the fact that this case was ordered by them!

I wish Turley would say that by not agreeing to what the predicate crime is, Merchan is essentially saying that Trump is to be presumed guilty of whatever predicate crime the juror thinks.

This turns our whole legal system on its head. If the prosecution cannot name specifically what that predicate crime is, then Trump must have the presumption of innocence in whatever vague crime the judge is allowing the jurors to concoct.

Presumption of innocence is the key factor here.

Trump and the Republican Party made a critical error.

Both should have demanded a 100% fully televised trial.

Trump should have flatly stated that he and his defense team would not show up for ANY procedure that was NOT televised.

They can disagree on what the crime was among the three choices. Thus, this means that they could split 4-4-4 and he will still treat them as unanimous

WHAT? What the F is THAT??
