Stefanik Complaint: Judge Merchan Was ‘Intentionally Selected’ To Ensure Trump Is Convicted
The Federalist ^ | May 29, 2024 | Monroe Harless

Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., has submitted an official misconduct complaint to the New York State Unified Court System regarding the allegedly “random” selection of Juan Merchan as the judge over the ongoing case against former President Donald Trump in Manhattan, she announced Tuesday evening.

Her complaint comes toward the end of a criminal trial in which Trump has faced 34 felony charges stemming from accusations that he instructed his former lawyer, Michael Cohen, to pay “hush money” to pornographer Stormy Daniels to conceal an alleged past affair. Trump is accused of falsifying financial records by failing to label these payments as campaign expenses, an absurd allegation given that labeling such payments as campaign expenses would have been illegal.

Stefanik’s complaint pertains to Merchan’s assignment to three separate criminal cases related to Trump, including his ongoing criminal trial, the previous trial against the Trump Organization, and the upcoming trial against Trump ally Steve Bannon. The New York State Unified Court System’s rules state that criminal cases are assigned to judges randomly, but Stefanik doubts this rule was followed in Democrats’ lawfare crusade, which has proved to be their top 2024 campaign strategy.

“If justices were indeed being randomly assigned in the Criminal Term, the probability of two specific criminal cases being assigned to the same justice is quite low, and the probability of three specific criminal cases being assigned to the same justice is infinitesimally small. And yet, we see Acting Justice Merchan on all three cases,” Stefanik wrote in her misconduct complaint addressed to the New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct and Inspector General Kay-Ann Porter Campbell.

“One cannot help but suspect that the ‘random selection’ at work in the assignment of Acting Justice Merchan, a Democrat Party donor, to these cases involving prominent Republicans, is in...

And you funded it anyways. These fools all act like they are powerless. They literally gave Biden the money to do exactly what he’s doing and they spend subsequent months complaining and writing letters.

A Multi-tiered US “Justice” System continues on.

[Traitor] Roberts, with his Long Term TDS affliction [and ACB handmaiden], approves.

Cut the DOJ budget, all of it.

No more money for any of them.....no federal courts for 5 years & zero federal subsidies for the parasites living off the state courts.

It won’t happen and maybe it shouldn’t, because Trump will eventually need the appeal system to fix this travesty.

That's Judge Juan "Dirty" Merchan-dice, who sold his soul for filthy lucre.

Rigged trials, Rigged electorate (illegals voting), votes bought by paying off student loans with taxpayer funds, etc = rigged elections.

Maybe Merchan is on the receiving end, along with other Dems, from the Cartels who want Biden in office to keep the Border wide open. Maybe that is why so many Dems are leaving Office. Without the open Border, Cartels will wither and lose billions of dollars.

At thus point, no one can say with a straight face that Bragg’s case is anything other than a pure political attack.

Odds are that this Trump hating jury will vote to convict.

So. What comes next?

Things could get kind of spicy.

What Corruptchan is doing is criminal treason. He should face a fair trial for it then given the appropriate sentence given to the worst traitors.

The only thing they can do is cut the budget. If they won’t do that then it’s just talk.

Stefanik’s complaint pertains to Merchan’s assignment to three separate criminal cases related to Trump....The New York State Unified Court System’s rules state that criminal cases are assigned to judges randomly,

There are 25 judges on the Supreme Court of the State of New York (which is actually not the highest Court in NY, despite the name)

The chance of the same judge being picked randomly for 3 Trump cases is: 1/25 X 1/25 X 1/25 = 1 in 15,625

Yeah, it's rigged.
