Hello ladies and gents, today on this blog post, we will be discussing the Trump trial that started a few months ago and has yet to reach a conclusion with sentencing. Interestingly, the sentencing is expected to take place as close to the November election as possible, but that’s a different story. This trial is a historic event that will have repercussions for decades. As we’ve seen in recent news, the Supreme Court’s immunity decision might affect the Trump trial—or it might not. Ideally, the Supreme Court shouldn’t even come into play in this case due to the trial’s allegedly illegal organization and the apparent bias of the judge overseeing it. We’ll delve into the background of the trial, the claims of its illegality, the alleged judicial misconduct during the proceedings, and the broader legal and political implications. We’ll also explore counterarguments and defenses.
The background of this trial is as shady as the expected ending. Both Alvin Bragg and Fani Willis ran for their respective elected seats on the premise that they would target Trump, which raises ethical concerns. It would make more sense to run on going after a specific crime or gang, but they focused on one person who, at the time, was no longer President, meaning he was no longer a threat if his presidency was truly a concern. Despite this, they both ran on that promise and won. Both Bragg and Willis received campaign donations from sources connected to George Soros. Whether directly or indirectly, money from Soros, who resembles the Emperor from Star Wars, played a role in their campaigns. Regardless, they waited until March 2023, right around the time the election season began, to charge Trump.
The charges themselves are astoundingly ridiculous. The indictment was issued three months after the statute of limitations had expired, according to New York law (NY PEN 3 Title K Article 175.10). By law, charges cannot be brought against Trump, and this should have been a closed case. However, the judge allowed it to proceed. Next, the 32 counts of the same crime, even if committed 32 times, still amount to a misdemeanor, not a felony. Yet, this court decided to disregard its own laws, federal laws, and the Constitution. Each count involves the “intent to defraud and intent to commit another crime and aid and conceal the commission thereof, made and caused a false entry in business records of an enterprise.” Some claim that Trump is in trouble for paying hush money to Stormy Daniels, but that’s not the case. Trump paid her with his personal money. He is being charged because his bookkeeper labeled the payment as “miscellaneous” instead of “Stormy Daniels” in the ledger. This is a misdemeanor, not a felony, if charges were brought in a timely manner. The only real charge that could be brought against anyone is against Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, who admitted on the stand that he stole $10,000 from Trump during this time—a crime with a potential prison sentence, yet this was ignored.
This judge, Juan Merchan, is a piece of work. You can’t have a jury influenced by outside forces, nor can you have a biased judge; it makes for an unfair trial, which is already compromised by the lack of a speedy trial. Judge Merchan is a staunch liberal who donated money to Joe Biden. His daughter, Loren Merchan, is the president of Authentic Campaigns, a Chicago-based progressive political consulting firm where Adam Schiff and other Democratic politicians are clients. Judge Merchan even issued a gag order preventing Trump from speaking freely during public appearances—a move unprecedented in legal history. On the first day, when cameras were allowed in the courtroom, the judge’s smile was bigger than a kids on Christmas morning. The proceedings resembled a tribunal or kangaroo court, reminiscent of Nazi Germany or Communist Russia, where the court’s outcome was predetermined. It’s clear that the sentencing will be delayed until the last minute before the election—a last-ditch effort if other strategies fail. If they try to arrest Trump after he wins the election, chaos will ensue. Representative Jamie Raskin has already suggested that Congress should not certify Trump if he wins. Their game plan is desperation, but a cornered lion is more dangerous than ever.
The implications of this trial are significant and troubling. It’s unclear why the Democrats would risk these actions. If Trump wins and gets back into office with the right people around him, it could be over for the Democrats. Not only could he revive the economy, stop wars, and restore freedom, but he could also use the same tactics against them. If their tax returns and private messages are scrutinized, the “dirt” could pile high, and they might face real legal consequences. Furthermore, the current judicial system, already in disarray, could become worse, with kangaroo courts proliferating across the country. In left-leaning areas, murderers could be let go while people are charged for hurting others’ feelings—a sad day indeed.
Often, people claim that Trump was found guilty of paying Stormy Daniels with campaign money and that the process was entirely fair. But when presented with the evidence, they often fall back on the belief that he belongs in jail without knowing why. We encourage you not to take our word for it; follow the links below and do your own research. The only counterarguments we found lacked substance or detailed rebuttals.
So, there you have it—what our President is being charged with. On a positive note, it seems like the Democrats have been so preoccupied with other issues that they’ve forgotten about the charges.
