Earlier this week, crooked New York Judge Juan Merchan rejected a recusal request for the third time in Trump’s “hush money” case.
The dirty judge’s decision was released to the public on Wednesday.
Judge Merchan’s daughter’s platform made tens of millions of dollars from her father’s case against Trump.
President Trump is STILL under a partial gag order in the case. Can someone please explain how this is legal? And why are Republicans not outraged by this criminal lawfare against the party’s presidential candidate?
In May, Trump was convicted on all 34 felony counts after he was accused of paying porn star Stormy Daniels, AKA Stephanie Clifford, ‘hush payments’ through his then-attorney Michael Cohen in a scheme to silence her and stop the story about their alleged affair from being published in the National Enquirer. For some reason, Trump was charged 34 times for the accounting errors. The misdemeanors were changed to felonies in order to stick it to the former president. The far-left kangaroo court swiftly found him guilty of fake crimes.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg alleged Trump committed fraud because the payment was labeled “legal fees.” This was complete nonsense. No one has ever in history been indicted or convicted for such bogus charges. But we are talking about the cesspool New York and we are talking the communist left.
Andrew McCarthy, a former Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, predicted on Wednesday that crooked Judge Merchan will jail Trump on his court date on September 18th.
That is two days after early voting begins in Pennsylvania.

Andrew McCarthy: Prepare for Trump to be sentenced to prison on September 18
The objective here is to enable VP Kamala Harris and the media-Democratic complex to label Trump ‘a convicted felon sentenced to prison’ as voting begins
I how Merchan chokes to death on a fish bone
How = hope
> why are Republicans not outraged by this criminal lawfare against the party’s presidential candidate?
Conservatives are outraged. Establishment cucks are not because they support the other side.
He’s not saying anything we don’t already know..of course they plan on throwing Trump in jail, DUH..heck they tried everything else, from having him executed on live TV, to sabotaging his plane, hacking his campaign, to trying to throwing him in jail where they hope he will be killed Epstein style
I think it all depends on polling data come September.
Merchan delayed the sentencing hearing, but has he done anything in the meantime to review the use of protected sources or evidence to resolve the "presumed immunity" aspects of the case?
Bragg called Trump White House Communications Director Hope Hicks to testify. Hicks' testimony would be covered by "presumed immunity" unless Bragg can present evidence why it should be waived. Trump's lawyers would then have an opportunity to cross-examine Bragg's evidence and rebut his claims.
Bragg also called Madeleine Westerhout, Trump's director of Oval Office Operations in 2019 and former Secretary to the President between 2017 and 2019. Bragg has the same issues of "presumed immunity" with Westerhout.
To my knowledge, Merchan has not held any hearings regarding the use of testimony of either Westerhout or Hicks. If Merchan thinks he can just summarily rule on their immunity status unilaterally and then move onto sentencing, then due process of law is officially dead in New York.

Question: How does he know?
Oh it’s gateway.
If that happens, Trump will win by an even bigger margin. Probably cheat-proof margin.
We are officially third world
No, the 3rd world is laughing at us.
“And why are republicans not outraged by this criminal law fare against the party’s presidential candidate?”
Because they’re all (Ok, 99% of them) QUISLINGS?*
*Vidkun Quisling was a Norwegian fascist and Nazi collaborator. He served as Minister President of Norway from 1942 to 1945 in a Nazi puppet state. His last name has since come to mean ‘traitor’ or ‘collaborator.’”
Thanx for your clarification, PJ2
If he does put Trump in jail, it would certainly backfire on the Dems. Trump will be seen by independents as a political prisoner. First he’s the victim of a concerted lawfare campaign, assassination attempt, then false imprisonment.
Trump should play the victim card; he has every right to do so.
That's why I'm reluctant to think they'll sentence him to prison, or sentence him to much of anything really, and risk seeing his polling skyrocket again so close to the election.
Of course, the Democrats can't help themselves.
Juan Manuel Merchan is not American. He is a turd worlder. Merchan is from Columbia, one of the most crooked countries in South America. It is home of cartels, and drug empires. I would not be surprised if Merchan had ties to all the hoodlums in his real country.
