Pass the bananas: Judge Merchan…has somehow randomly selected had Steve Bannon’s case, had Allen Weisselberg’s case…somehow, he randomly also gets Donald Trump. That’s not the way the system works.

Someone is putting their thumb on the scales, and one might get the idea that the jury is packed the same way.
I heard there are 3 lawyers on the jury.
Would you expect anything less in NY
Whatever they’re paying him I hope it’s worth it. Yesterday’s farce was the worst.
Inside every Democrat is a little Lavrenty Beria just dying to be unleashed.
We all know the verdict will be guilty, even if Merchan has to stick his head into the deliberations chamber and order it.
The hard part is associating an actual crime with the verdict.
“We all know the verdict will be guilty, even if Merchan has to stick his head into the deliberations chamber and order it.”
I very much doubt it. If in fact there are two lawyers on the jury, the best the Democrats can hope for now is a hung jury.
A lawyer understands what has happened here in a way that your average low information Trump-hater does not.
They understand the extreme legal contortions necessary to even get this case to trial…that the previous DA as well as the Federal prosecutors looked at this case and said “no thanks” (as did the Elections officials).
They understand that the entire house of cards hinges on the supposed commission of a *non-existent* crime which the prosecution cannot even name because they know it does not exist.
They understand why they were treated to all the salacious details of Trumps encounter with a porn star despite it having no bearing on the case, and that the aforementioned porn star is a proven liar who previously denied any contact with him and owes Donald Trump hundreds of thousands of dollars. They are confused as to why the DA would put another proven liar (Stormy’s former lawyer) on the stand despite the fact that his testimony actually *exonerated* Trump. They paid attention when it was revealed that Trump only signed cheques and had no other involvement with the supposed payoffs (which they also knew were not illegal, and that the Elections Commission people had already signed off on).
They watched the judge, who should have recused himself when it was revealed that his daughter was *making money* off this trial, try to impose ridiculous gag orders on Donald Trump…and also saw him have a mini meltdown over the expressions of skepticism by another attorney on the witness stand (a man who actually had more legal experience than anyone else in the courtroom other than legendary lawyer Alan Dershowitz, who also can’t understand why Trump is even on trial here).
They see all this (and more), and then shudder when they realize that they *will be identified* after the trial is finished (if they haven’t already been). They use social media and they know the power (and reach) of it. They can’t claim ignorance of the law as a defense, either.
If I were a betting man, I would put money on “hung jury” as the outcome here.ll know the verdict will be guilty, eve
Be Reasonable and see it their way
FILTHY LIBERALS
No wonder this trial wasn’t televised. Recall that the Rittenhouse trial was a real eye opener. The YouTube lawyers had a field day, including the Joe Nierman referred to in the linked article. It doesn’t even include the bizarre world meltdown over the Costello testimony.

I don’t do the X thing. So I can’t open the story.
Just like 90 years ago cause it worked so well back than.

So there are no appeals in the US justice system?
Or there are no appeals in the Democrat Lawfare System?
You might want to brush up on how Voir dire actually works. What the rules are. The Defense cannot simply dismiss every prospective Juror who appears to have TDS (like you).
The only thing THIS MAGA supporter is whining about is the illegal premise for this trial, lack of a crime or charge, and that a change of venue wasn’t granted. That Jury pool in Manhattan is as shallow as a leftists thinking.
“You are such a little whiner Kenji. That’s all you maga clowns do is whine. Trump does nothing but whine and cry.”
Same way you will when he is acquitted, right Jenn?
Can’t wait. Too bad you will disappear so quickly….it would be such fun to taunt you…
To paraphrase Harry S Truman … Jenn … I tell you the TRUTH … but it just sounds like whining HELL to you.
Once is luck, twice is coincidence, third is a pattern.
The number of challenges during juror selection are limited. If the prosecution has 100 onside jurors lined up, the prosecution can still get a packed jury after the defense runs out of preemptory challenges. In NY, the maximum number of preemptory challenges allowed is 20, 15, or 10 depending on the charges. The judge can overrule objections to jurors beyond the 20 (max) preemptory challenges and the juror will be seated. If that were not the case, the trial would still be in the jury selection phase.
The lawyers representing Trump did not necessarily approve the selected jurors. The selection process has an endpoint. But you already knew that, Jenn. Then again, maybe not.
There is no longer a justice system in the U.S.A. This is the end of it.
I cannot see many ways out that do not end in catastrophic collapse of the status quo and eventual civil war.
Oh yes.. Its fair because technically anybody can be railroaded and it just not right that Trump be above such things.. IMO no rich powerful, connected, business person / politician could pass the mustard.. They are all dirty..
Especially ones that are 70 years old.. Everybody has dirt on everybody.. Except Trump it seems, and it scares the scht out of them.. Oh well we could have had a wall..
Assuming that Trump can get through the minefield set up to sink his reelection prospects, its going to be one hell of a RICO case. The judge and friends are going to spend a lot of time in court, but not his court
