It is now being claimed that “Michael Anderson” had a Facebook account where he claimed to be “Transabled & a professional sh@t poster.” The photo that accompanied his Facebook bio was actually a picture of GG Allin, a talentless punk rock musician.
Second, The NY Supreme Court would not have bothered contacting Merchan without having first verified the relationship of the poster and the juror, AND verifying there was contact between the two before the post.
The verdict will be tossed and I don't see Merchan getting another bite at the apple in time to get a conviction before the election.
How can you seat a jury that can pretend they haven't been tainted by pre-trial publicity?
Oh how I hope you're right, G Larry. All of the other cases have blown up in the libs faces, and I'd like to see this one do the same.
Hope so. I can’t wait to see the liberal heads exploding as they “uncelebrate” our justice system.
If the verdict is not tossed judge Merchan has two choices in sentencing. He can sentence Trump to jail or not. Merchan will select which is most harmful to Trump. The real hell of it is, if he puts Trump in jail it may be the final verdict that elects Donald Trump. Merchan has no good choices.
Merchan and this trial will go down in history as the prime example of judicial misconduct to be studied long after he is gone if our nation survives as a constitutional republic of justice. It may not.
At a minimum, all the hokum (even by Biden) about how Trump had a fair trial by a jury of his “peers” has been shot down. Anyone of us is entitled to come-back to the liberal sneerers and say how was this a fair, impartial trial when the verdict was decided ahead of time and chattered about with friends and relatives?
And just because we are now aware of a simple statement pre-celebration of a guilty verdict, likely doesn’t mean a whole lot more was said by this juror or jurors to a whole lot more other people.
Do you have a link to your post about the judge being notified by the NY Supreme Court? I haven’t been able to find anything yet. Everything seems based on a FB poster claiming to be a relative. Claiming doesn’t mean verified, so it’s possible that we shouldn’t get too exhilarated yet, unless you have a source.
First, The NY Supreme Court informed Merchan of the finding, this wasn't Merchan fessing up.
Judge Merchan is one of the judges at one of the New York Supreme Courts which, in New York, are trial courts at the bottom rung of the judicial hierarchy.
The appellate court directly over Merchan is the First Department in Manhattan which has jurisdiction over the counties of New York (borough of Manhattan) and the Bronx.
This came to Judge Merchan from the Fourth Department, upstate in Rochester.
God does work in mysterious ways.

It was a troll post and nothing at all will happen because of it, except a deleted account.
Officially reporting the post does not make it a real post.
They were obligated to report the post to both sides, as a matter of due diligence.
