How many catastrophic yet entertaining courtroom fails can one team of prosecutors suffer before the judge calls a halt to this goat rodeo? It's time to dismiss this case against Donald Trump after Friday's testimony. But don't get your hopes up. The bulldogger of this rodeo is the judge.
Now, before we get to the testimony of Hope Hicks, who just removed–yet again—the prosecution's foundation for a conspiracy they allege but didn't charge, let's appreciate what we've got so far (roughly in order):
- Misdemeanor bookkeeping charges announced
- A DA hinting that federal election laws were broken to steal the 2016 election, though this was not charged
- Motions by team Trump to dismiss, forestall, change venue, and keep out prejudicial evidence are denied
- The Republican presidential nominee defendant gagged to silence him from talking about participants and the judge's Democrat activist daughter making money on the trial
- An unstated felony to which 34 misdemeanors are attached to make them felonies
- Allowing in salacious evidence that doesn't pertain to stealing an election
- Speedily selecting jurors
- Announcing after the trial started the unstated felony is a state conspiracy and election violation charge, though no conspiracy is charged
That's how we started. How's it going? A guilty verdict is likely foreordained by Judge Juan Merchan, who's all-in on the prosecutors' Jenga legal theory of this case and is allowing in witnesses—David Pecker of the National Enquirer, former Trump campaign communications director Hope Hicks and others—to help, as Andy McCarthy puts it, "tell a story to the jury."

The story is that Trump paid his former attorney, Michael Cohen, legal fees in 2017 to steal the 2016 election. However, the judge allowed prosecutors to call witnesses to create in the minds of jurors an uncharged conspiracy. Only in the minds of D.A. Alvin Bragg and the judge can a local lawman bring a federal case. But here we are. The New York bar is mum.

Correct. Bragg has no authority to bring these charges.

The judge’s legacy is intact, election interference in a kangaroo court by a clown judge. I guess he’s proud of that like these other activist lunatic left judges.

>>”The story is that Trump paid his former attorney, Michael Cohen, legal fees in 2017 to steal the 2016 election.”
Slight correction - The story is that in 2017, Trump intentionally mis-labeled the 2016 payment to Michael Cohen, in order to steal the election that had occurred the previous year.

Harvey Weinstein’s conviction was overturned because the judge allowed evidence in that was more prejudicial than relevant. Allowing Daniels to testify about the allegedly lewd contact with Trump has nothing to do with falsifying records and was allowed solely to prejudice the jury. Might end up the same as the Weinstein case.

15 years ago I said living in NYC was like living in North Korea but with food when it came to their system of justice. I see it’s still like that. Corrupt doesn’t even begin to describe it, same for the elections there.
