Biden plans to address Trump ‘hush money’ verdict from the White House: report
NY Post ^ | 5/25/24 | Victor Nava

resident Biden plans to address former President Donald Trump’s Manhattan criminal trial in a “White House setting” when the jury delivers its verdict, according to a report.

The 81-year-old president’s message will be tailored to the outcome of the trial, according to Politico, but in any scenario, he intends to stress that the US legal system worked and Americans should respect the process.

Biden will deliver remarks whether the 77-year-old former president is convicted, acquitted or the jury cannot agree on a verdict.

Closing arguments in Trump’s trial over alleged hush money payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels are set to commence on Tuesday.

It is believed that the jury could reach a verdict as early as next week.

The exact timing and setting of Biden’s speech have not been definitively determined, but it won’t be done on the campaign trail, multiple sources told the outlet.

In an effort to have his remarks not perceived as being political, Biden will deliver them from the White House grounds.

Joe Tacopina, Trump’s former lawyer, was on WABC radio yesterday. He thinks that if there is a hung jury Bragg will call for another trial to start immediately.

We will see. I’ve heard NY lawyers insist the weekend delay before closings, instructions and deliberations helps the prosecution for reasons you stated.

Others think the timing affords pro-Trump sentiment to filter into juror’s consciousness.

From a great distance, I sense a few jurors will empathize with Trump’s odious treatment, even if they only watch CNN.

Biden’s plans to comment from the WH after the verdict tell me they’re worried if he’s found guilty in a banana republic judicial system.

Of course, appeals will reverse AFTER the election, and that may be Joe’s planned appeal. “Let it play out”. In the meantime, are you gonna’ vote for a convicted felon ?

An immediate retrial makes sense if the goal is to hamstring campaigning, but there will be righteous anger.

I don’t know what procedures or timing would be involved.

The child molester must convict DJTrump before anything resembling “rule of law” can be implemented. This way the <85IQ Democrat base can agree with him without waiting for a court to issue a judgement.

This is just like how Germany’s brownshirts operated. For the same reason.

Having monitored this show trial in detail, the last thing any rational person could conclude is “Trust the Process”. This corrupt judge, corrupt prosecutors, corrupt Biden administration personnel on loan, etc, have made a mockery of due process and Constitutional rights.

Consider this: Merchan is going to reveal the jury instructions after the defense is concluded. Only then will the essential charge(s) that made the trial possible be revealed to the Defendant. That denies the Defendant any opportunity to present a defense of the charge(s). Violates the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendments.

My rant makes plenty of sense to those that are capable of seeing the bigger picture of which you are unable to do apparently. Ya’ think Xiden would get re-elected if this criminal president was impeached? Ya’ think the turnout for Trump might be a little greater? Ya’ think the GOP election turnout nationally and locally might actually increase total victories if there were an impeachment? But the RINO thinking like yours protecting Biden is not going to fly this time around.

“Whenever you make a payment, you have to choose how it’s going to be indicated in the General Ledger category, how to put the payment, where to post the payment to so when you print the General Ledger, it summarizes the expenses in that account,” McConney testified. “There are a number of accounts you can post it to. We were paying a lawyer, so I said to put it — posted to legal expenses in the General Ledger.”

The jury instructions are purported to be 700 pages long and they don’t have to be unanimous. INSANE!

“Biden will pardon Trump”

A breach of New York State criminal law has been alleged.

Biden has no pardon power over a state law matter.

So in other words Biden’s team has already sent the guilty verdict to the “judge and jury” and have prepared remarks for the chomo ready to go. Talk about jury tampering. I wouldn’t be surprised if the jury has all been promised millions in “book deals “ through government spooks.

Yes.

Insane.

The judge needs to issue a directed verdict of Not Guilty and dismiss the case with prejudice.

“Biden has no pardon power over a state law matter.”

Damned if he doesn’t have complete control over the Manhattan DA’s office right about now.

You nailed it.

He will be convicted--and be branded as a felon (and yes, that will cost him some independent votes, enough to lose the election).

The verdict will be overturned AFTER the election, but the damage will have already been done. At that point, the far left will back off since they will have gotten exactly what they wanted--a damaged candidate and a win for Biden/Harris and accelerated far left policies.

Very very sad sequence of events for our country. Four more years of increased radical, extremist, Marxist government with continued massive illegal alien invasion to guarantee democratic party control forever.
