Ex-DOJ Attorney Warns that Trump Jailtime Is Imminent in Judge Merchan’s Lawfare Case
Headline USA ^ | 08/15/24 | Luis Cornelio

Posted on 08/15/2024 7:05:32 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

A high-profile former federal prosecutor has issued a warning about the imminent incarceration of President Donald Trump in the Manhattan case led by Soros-linked Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and presided over by Democrat Judge Juan Merchan.

Andrew McCarthy, a former assistant U.S. attorney at the U.S. Southern District of New York, wrote in a Fox News column that Trump could be jailed on Sept. 18, despite the mounting legal issues complicating the Manhattan case.

Among these issues is the Supreme Court’s ruling that Trump cannot be prosecuted for acts made while in office and that these acts cannot be used as evidence in criminal proceedings.

Despite these factors, Merchan “has signaled that, come hell or high water, he intends to sentence Trump on Sept. 18,” McCarthy wrote in the Wednesday column. “If you’re keeping score, that would be two days after early voting in the 2024 election begins in Pennsylvania.”

McCarthy’s warning comes after Merchan denied Trump’s recusal motion regarding the financial ties between the judge’s daughter, Loren Merchan, and Vice President Kamala Harris.

One campaigning from their basement, the other from a jail cell.

What a country.

Can Trump fast track this to SC? Are his attorneys doing this? Other remedies?

Become a Liberal and set the goal of destroying the country. Beyond that no one on the “right” has time to save the country.

He should not set foot in New York. Only travel to states which have R governors who will defy an extradition request.

This has been the plan all along. And they are trying to pre-empt the Supreme Court by threatening term limits and attacking Conservatives on the court. They hope to eliminate any thought of intervention by the SC.

Merchan refuses to recuse himself, despite the fact that his immediate family - his daughter - is working for Kamala Harris, Trump's opponent in the general election.

This is banana republic stuff. The US used to be a model for other nations aspiring to representative government. We've become a laughing stock.

The Democrats are desperate to stop Trump: anything, and I mean that literally, is possible.

His tweets were part of the case backing up Cohen i’m pretty sure.

Merchan might have the authority to put Trump in jail, but he does not have the authority to deny Trump the protection of the Secret Service. How that is going to be managed is going to be interesting.

They crafted a vague, unknown misdemeanor into a felon using some shady legal slight-of-hand.

And the jury was instructed that they would buy this in making their decision.
