Judge Juan Merchan is keeping former President Donald Trump off the campaign trail by forcing him to wait at the courthouse while the jury deliberates, Trump lawyer Jesse Binnall said during an interview on Breitbart News Daily.
“Why are they keeping him in the courtroom?” host Mike Slater asked Binnall during the Wednesday appearance.
“I think we all know that the entire reason that Judge Merchan had scheduled this case for when he scheduled it for and why he has been very, very deliberate in keeping Donald Trump in the courtroom and now making so he can’t even, you know, leave the courthouse area is because he wants to keep Donald Trump off the campaign trail,” Binnall said, explaining that no matter what the verdict, Merchan wins in that he was able to keep Trump off the campaign trail for a significant amount of time.
LISTEN:
“He knows that the process is the punishment, that even if a jury comes back with a not guilty verdict, or the jury comes back hung, he’s still got his pound of flesh in this because he’s been able to keep Donald Trump from going out and campaigning, while his chosen candidate Joe Biden has been not only free to go around the country campaigning, but using this case in order to attack Donald Trump,” he explained.

Trump Lawyer: “Merchan Keeping Trump in Courthouse so He Can’t Campaign”
Merchan: “Aw guys. Don’t worry. This won’t take long ...”
No one has to say a disparaging thing about this “Judge..” his actions say it all.
Re keeping him in court:
Of course he is; Merchan is a dem operative.
Going to be fun watching that bastard frog marched in an orange jumpsuit and shackles.
Professionally speaking I don’t think this is going to end well for this judge. He has make the Nee York judicial system the laughing stock of the nation.
Contrary to some other opinions, I think this will matter to the NY legal community.
If there is a hung jury, what’s to stop Bragg from trying the case again? It would keep Trump off the campaign trail for another 6-8 weeks.
Merchan should be arrested for jury tampering and election interference
Court is in session, he is the defendant, he is required to be there.
Was there a campaign rally scheduled for this evening?
So, they’ve been sent home for the night. Is Trump being held in the court chambers all night?
WIKI excerpt...
Merchan was born in Bogotá, Colombia. He immigrated to New York City when he was six years old, growing up in Jackson Heights, Queens, as the youngest of six children.
His father had been a military officer in Colombia.
If the jurors were sent home for the day, why does Trump have to stay there?
Thanks for speaking up for the enemy; here’s at least one in every crowd. Lately, as a matter of fact, they’re coming out of the FR woodwork... like cockroaches.
Court was still in session.
Pointing out the obvious doesn’t make me an enemy.
Judge Merchan’s daughter won’t give an update after she raised $100 Million dollars and counting by her Daddy’s trial
Wonder what the total is now.
If there is a hung jury, that would be a major embarrassment for Bragg, et al. I would think the NY media would want his head on a platter and he would find himself with a few less friends and talking to belly button.
Either that or he’s setting a precedence, which is what worries me.
