I have returned from a two-week tour in Europe, and I can tell you that both the LEFT and RIGHT in European governments are appalled at this trial that Trump has been subjected to especially after I wrote to explain that Juan Manuel Merchan is not an actual judge but is only a prosecutor “ACTING” as a judge. Most curious, since Merchan is NOT a formal judge and is ONLY an acting justice of the New York State Supreme Court in New York County, this raises serious questions given his clear conflicts of interest. How did a former prosecutor become not just an ACTING judge but also be assigned to this case? New York City is a cesspool of corruption dating back to the days when the Mafia installed their judges to rule the city.
This is not just a possible rigged proceeding; it is also UNCONSTITUTIONAL insofar as the alleged crime is a federal crime when this ACTING JUDGE has no subject matter jurisdiction in a state court to preside over a federal crime. This is smelling increasingly like a political hit job to interfere in the 2024 election.
Acting Judge Merchan has now emailed both sides in this UNCONSTITUTIONAL “Hush Money” Business Records Felony Case of Donald Trump, alerting them to a potential problem with the Jury. Merchan sent an email notifying both sides that Jurors are not permitted to commence deliberations until AFTER the case ends. They were also not to discuss the case with each other or with outsiders prior to the case ending.
This Judge needs an escape route, for I can confirm institutions are getting out of NYC because of this case. Merchan now informs that almost ALL the jurors in the Trump trial broke those two instructions from the court not to discuss the case. Apparently, one Juror told his cousin that “Trump is getting convicted” one day before the conviction took place unless they all discussed the case and decided before it was over.
Merchan People v DJT 6-7-24 Letter to Parties
Here is Merchan’s letter to both parties. It is brief and notifies them of a comment posted to the New York State Court System’s Facebook page.
“Today, the Court became aware of a comment that was posted on the Unified Court System’s public Facebook page and which I now bring to your attention. In the comment, the user, ‘Michael Anderson,’ states: ‘My cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted. Thank you folks for all your hard work!!!!”
The posting also included a party emoji and a heart emoji, suggesting that the purported poster was happy with the verdict.
“The comment, now labeled as one week old, responded to a routine UCS notice, posted on May 29, 2024, regarding oral arguments” in an unrelated case in the court’s Appellate Division, Merchan wrote.
The Manhattan jury voted unanimously on May 31 – two days after that – to convict the former president of falsifying business records to hide a hush money payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 presidential election. Trump is the first former U.S. president convicted of a crime. Clearly, this is a mistrial. The BILLION DOLLAR QUESTION is, will this judge dismiss the case now because it was clearly for political purposes when Bill Clinton paid $850,000 to silence also a sexual allegation compared to $130,000 for Stormy Daniels?
Merchan is now in a dark room historically and is trying to find the door, which is the emergency exit for the way out, but the sign is not lit. This is his escape exit =- but will he take it? Trump could NEVER get a fair trial in New York City – they do not exist! The polls have not turned against Trump, and he has used this to demonstrate that Biden has weaponized the law to try to hold on to power for the Neocons. They know they cannot use this pretend conviction, especially now, as a talking point. If anything, this PROVES that Trump can NEVER get a fair trial in NYC, Washington DC, or Georgia. Even in the Florida case, this also UNCONSTITUTIONALLY appointed Special Prosecutor who is not a prosecutor, not sanctioned or reviewed by Congress, and unsupervised by the DOJ, indicted Trump for the Florida case using a Washington DC Grand Jury. The Sixth Amendment states you must be charged where the crime occurred – that is, Florida – not Washington, DC. –“WHICH DISTRICT SHALL HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY ASCERTAINED BY LAW”
The entire purpose of the Sixth Amendment was that the King would indict you in England for a crime he alleged took place in the Colonies. You would be taken to London in chains, thrown in prison, starved, and then put on trial in England, where the jury was already prejudiced against Colonists as New York City was against Trump. This is what has to be gutted. The government should NEVER be able to bring criminal charges – EVER, except for acts directly against the government. All other “crimes” between two private people should be off-limits!!!!
That was the Magna Carta, and when the King was forced to end his tyranny of fining people for revenue, that is when he changed the law to still get fines. He transformed a private dispute “disturbed his peace” and reinstituted his tyranny as we are witnessing today against Trump. Even in the case of the assets, the prosecutors, NOT THE BANKS, alleged that Trump overvalued his assets to reduce his interest costs. Who was the pretend victim? The banks said they were fine. Once again, we must end this reign of legal terrorism, which has always surfaced and stained the legal system with perpetual LEGAL PERSECUTION. It is time for a change.
