Judge May Force Trump to Skip Son Barron’s High School Graduation
Breitbart ^ | 04/15/2024 | HANNAH KNUDSEN

Posted on 04/15/2024 1:07:01 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan has yet to say that former President Donald Trump can attend his son Barron Trump’s high school graduation, refusing to rule on the former president’s request to not attend the trial that specific day for that event.

Monday was the start of the criminal trial at the hands of Democrat Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who charged Trump with 34 felonies, accusing him of falsifying business records in relation to payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels. As Breitbart News pointed out, Trump is not being accused of “covering up a sex scandal.” Trump has denied all charges against him, but, if convicted, he could face jail time.

While jury selection has begun in the criminal trial, Trump’s attorneys are looking ahead and have requested that Trump be able to skip the trial on May 17 so he can attend his son Barron’s high school graduation, which is taking place in his home state of Florida. According to Business Insider, Merchan has acknowledged the request but has refused to make a ruling.

These morons must know the damage they are doing to their side as they make false charges, assess multimillion dollar fines for non criminal activity, engage in biased political chicanery, and etc.

You are sadly, pathetically mistaken if you think liberals are going to be disgusted by this behavior and somehow have a "come to Jesus" moment of clarity.

Do they just not care? Do they think they’ll get away with it?

Yes. They have already won. Because Trump BLEW IT in his first and only chance. It is OVER. A MIRACLE needs to take place if Trump is going to win. Like white hat hackers. He and every repugnic-nt from the local to the national level FAILED to do a single thing about securing the 2020 election. And The Stable Genius never once asked for help preventing (or organized a single person to help stop/mitigate) voter fraud. It was all a onanistic praise fest where he got to riff and bloviate and feel like a rock star while accomplishing nothing.

Horrible, evil people. They would let the UniBomber go to the graduation if he asked but not the former/future President. Absolutely disgusting.

Thanks. Which means that the court gave deference to the
CEO. In this case, this judge is so challenged she thinks
she gets to make this as big a pain in the ass as she can
make it.

That right there reveals prejudice and malice.

They didn’t deny. The judge probably hopes it is over by then.

You are misunderstanding their mental deficiencies. They do not care, but more importantly, they are not CAPABLE of caring. They do not have the ability to empathize and care only about power and control over others, i.e. winning. They are predators; stone cold killers—it’s what motivates and excites them. Their Raison d’etre.

Being petty, venal and childish is their specialty.
This judge is a proud puppet of the frenzied, socialist shriekers.

He will turn down Trump’s request, and expect to be praised like a good dog. And, then again, maybe he will surprise us all.

Not for a minute. Read almost anything on social media and the morons are gloating over Trump being charged with felonies. They are breathless in anticipation of his incarceration. It’s bad. Really bad.

Might not be a bad idea. At least his some would know how much his Dad cares and it would be a great campaign optic having him arrested for doing so.

Unconstitutional!

It is the defendant's "Right" to be present, but there is no legal "Obligation".

Should be overturned on immediate appeal.

It seems to me that on general principles, she could have
stated she would view that favorably if at all possible.

She just wants to toss her weight around, as if she has
any.

This is another case that will be tossed upon appeal.

These guys are simply harassing Trump as much as they
possibly can.

I’m not worried. If Joe can campaign from his basement, Trump can campaign from the courthouse.

If the judge refuses to let him go to his son’s graduation ceremony in Florida, then I think even the imbeciles on the left will understand this is nothing but a ploy, and it will make the judge look VERY bad. Perception is everything.
