I noticed that you did not post any Greek version - because if you had, you would have seen that your assumption as well as the assumption of various English translators is wrong - "Sanhedrin" is most certainly not found in the Greek source texts - and again saying it was the official body called the "Sanhedrin" that condemned Jesus to death is a blood libel, which in case you are ignorant of that term too: it is flatly anti-Semitic.

At least you can say you are part of a majority of humans in history that have a bias against Jews. A dubious distinction.

"Sanhedrin" is most certainly not found in the Greek ...

Neither is "President of the USA" found in the title "Leader of the free world"; “House and Senate” are not found in the term “Congress”; "Pope" is not found in the title, "Bishop of Rome". Different designations, descriptions, terms - can refer to the same person or group.

I believe that people a lot smarter than you and I have translated the Bible. Although “Sanhedrin” is not in the original Greek per Matthew 26:59, “The priestly division managers, and the elders and the whole” is. Many translators have determined that this group of Jewish leadership was the “Sanhedrin”. I know you disagree. Let’s stop arguing the point.

Final word: Stop falsely labeling people who disagree with you. This is an Alinsky tactic that we should all avoid.
