Critics Rip Bragg’s Office, Judge Merchan for Process in Trump Trial: ‘Outrageous, Unethical, Unlawful’

[Tall Timbers]

Top legal scholars and critics are expressing utter disgust and disbelief over the bias and injustice they say has unfolded in the courtroom in the business records trial of former President Donald Trump in Manhattan.

Harvard scholar Alan Dershowitz said it was a “spectacle” far worse than anything he has seen anywhere in the world, including in corrupt countries such as China, Russia, and Ukraine, writing in a New York Post op-ed Tuesday:

n my 60 years as a lawyer and law professor, I have never seen a spectacle such as the one I observed sitting in the front row of the courthouse yesterday. n my 60 years as a lawyer and law professor, I have never seen a spectacle such as the one I observed sitting in the front row of the courthouse yesterday.

There ought to be a means for criminal prosecution of this judge and DA. It's really, really sad that this is happening in the USA

From the article:
"Gregg Jarrett, a former defense attorney and current Fox News legal analyst, said the trial bore “no resemblance” to the “cherished constitutional promise” of the right to a fair trial.

Jarrett said:

District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s absurd case made a mockery of our legal system. Judge Juan Merchan compounded the injustice by dismantling the principles of due process that every defendant deserves. His rulings from the bench consistently favored the prosecution and foreclosed Trump’s lawyers from presenting a bona fide defense that would be permitted in any other courtroom.
…
Working in tandem, Bragg and Merchan proved they have little respect for the rule of law or the rights of the accused. This is not an impartial tribunal. It’s an Orwellian show trial with a preordained outcome. There’s no presumption of innocence, only the expectation of guilt.

Jarrett argued that Merchan allowed Cohen and another witness, porn actress Stormy Daniels, “unfettered latitude to trash Trump in court.”

Absolutely!!! It seems there is no depth to which Democrat supporters will not sink in their attempt to save their party. This is not America. Through the history of this nation when push came to shove both Democrat and Republican parties always put the good of the nation ahead of that of the party. Apparently, for the Democrat party today, that is no longer true. For them, their party is supreme, and the good of the nation is secondary.

Trump found guilty on all counts.

Jury finds Donald Trump guilty on all 34 counts at hush money trial — Reuters

Donald Trump became the first U.S. president to be convicted of a crime on Thursday when a New York jury found him guilty of falsifying documents to cover up a payment to silence a porn star ahead of the 2016 election.

Does anyone think he can appeal it and win in N.Y? Mark Levin is saying the Supreme Court.

 

[Anastacia]

I personally doubt he could win an appeal in NY.
I heard on the radio (Sebastian Gorka) that he will appeal but it likely won't happen before the elections.

So what does this mean for his campaign and continued running for president?

If I know Trump, he is a fighter he will continue to run for President. He does not give up.

Right, but does this legally prevent him continuing running, being elected in Nov.?

This is what happens on any level everywhere, when truth is set aside for lies, corruption, and abuse. Some day the King of Kings and Lord of Lords will wield a rod of iron to hold everyone accountable. These folks right now are in danger of stepping off into eternity and facing the ultimate, eternal judgment.

The foundation of law has been destroyed. The promise of impartiality under the law is gone. It's one of the main foundations of any democracy, rule of law, and impartiality under that law. It's gone.

But God is not mocked, He sees.

Psalm 11:

In the Lord I put my trust;
How can you say to my soul,
“Flee as a bird to your mountain”?

2 For look! The wicked bend their bow,
They make ready their arrow on the string,
That they may shoot secretly at the upright in heart.

3 If the foundations are destroyed,
What can the righteous do?

4 The Lord is in His holy temple,
The Lord’s throne is in heaven;
His eyes behold,
His eyelids test the sons of men.

5 The Lord tests the righteous,
But the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates.

6 Upon the wicked He will rain coals;
Fire and brimstone and a burning wind
Shall be the portion of their cup.

7 For the Lord is righteous,
He loves righteousness;
His countenance beholds the upright.

Anastacia, I am glad it helps to explain the requirements to be President, and why Trump qualifies even though he has been convicted with 34 counts against him.

 

[Anastacia]

And while we're all watching the Trump trial, wondering what's going to happen next, Biden did something big with Ukraine. (I'll go see if someone already posted it.)

Conviction in what was a false trial about false crimes that were never articulated, led by a disgraceful district attorney unworthy of the office, and managed by a disgraceful judge unworthy of the title, is meaningless in the eyes of the majority of Americans. They see it for what it was: a blatant and disgraceful perversion of the American legal system. And it seems its main characters --Bragg and Merchant-- are being shredded by every single top judicial expert in the United States. It was, and is, unworthy of the words democratic and American. It has tipped this once shining nation over the edge from a bastion of just and democratic ideals to being only a step away from being a totally corrupt banana republic.

It is what the Democrats have done to our country. All they care about is staying in power, and ruining the U.S. They just want a One World Government/One World Religion which isn't the truth. This world is headed for the ac and the fp, and those who do not accept Jesus will be left behind in the tribulation.

 

[Tall Timbers]

The D.A. and the judge in the case have committed crimes against President Trump in their efforts to serve their master. I'm really disappointed in the jury. No matter how leftist the jury members might be, it's sad that they are willing participants in this travesty, in this dark day for America and the Rule of Law, which no longer exists.

I wish that were true, but I know many Americans who will swallow the media talking points and believe Justice was served. Now they’ll use the idea that “we’re wanting a convicted felon” to further shame conservatives and Christians.

My siblings have been brainwashed and they shut down any and all conversation that is slightly political or cultural. They would rather believe what they do and want nothing of facts and evidence. I literally had my sister tell me that schools are not pushing LGBT beliefs en masse and that’s it’s probably rare. I was dumbfounded at her willful ignorance. I told her I could show her examples and she said she didn’t want to talk about it anymore.

This is what we’re dealing with. I don’t get it apart from it being spiritual because it doesn’t make any logical sense at all.
