CNN legal guru says New York Trump prosecutors ‘contorted the law,’ case was 'unjustified mess'

CNN's Elie Honig wrote a scathing analysis that said New York prosecutors "contorted the law in an unprecedented manner" to ensnare former President Trump.

It's really something when even CNN legal commentators say, in so many words, that the Trump trial was, as this one put it, "a mess."

Then we find out that Merchan was not supposed to give even a small donation to a political candidate, but did it anyway

Wow... lawless thugs going after law-abiding citizens...

It's funny that in the whole of that, all you get is one paragraph about the judge giving money

""The judge donated money — a tiny amount, $35, but in plain violation of a rule prohibiting New York judges from making political donations of any kind — to a pro-Biden, anti-Trump political operation, including funds that the judge earmarked for ‘resisting the Republican Party and Donald Trump’s radical right-wing legacy,’" Honig wrote. "Would folks have been just fine with the judge staying on the case if he had donated a couple bucks to ‘Re-elect Donald Trump, MAGA forever!’? Absolutely not.""

Doesn't say WHEN he donated this. Doesn't really do anything other than say "he gave money" and "It's against the rules".

Judge in Trump hush-money trial received letter of caution for making $35 in political contributions

The judge presiding in former President Donald Trump’s hush-money election-interference trial received a written letter of caution last year because of $35 in Democratic political donations that he made in 2020.

www.abajournal.com

"The judge presiding in former President Donald Trump’s hush-money election-interference trial received a written letter of caution last year because of $35 in Democratic political donations that he made in 2020."

So it happened 4 years ago. He's been cautioned about it.

"The judge, Judge Juan Merchan, gave $35 to the Democratic group ActBlue, earmarking $15 for Biden for President and $10 each to the Progressive Turnout Project and Stop Republicans, according to Reuters, which broke the news about the caution."

ActBlue - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

"ActBlue does not endorse individual candidates."

It says it was earmarked for Biden, but actually it just went into the pot.

Also there's nothing in the trial to suggest he was biased, except the rantings of Trump, which are, for the most part, ignorance at the law.

What part of the case do you think he acted in a biased way?

You might bring up some of Trump's points. I will destroy those because Trump is ignorant of the law.

Other than that, he was in the spot light, everyone saw what was said, and as far as anyone can tell, there was no bias.

Yawn.
Another nothingburger.
He gave a tiny donation to a Democrat cause.
He got a slap on the wrist ethics lecture and was told to be more careful about these things in the future.
He said "ok" and that was that.
End of story.
This OP is fake news bullshit.

Just let his daughter collect the big bucks.

So?
Show me where this is illegal.
Clarence Thomas is married to an insurrectionist and he still serves on The SCOTUS refusing to recuse himself from cases involving Trump.

What law did he break again?

Doesn't matter in the slightest.

Jesus-H-Tap-Dancing-Christ, but you MAGAtts are really stretching for a "fix" to your Fat Orange Boy's problem, aren't you?

So long as the judge's decisions in the matter are "within The Law" then that's all that signifies...

Your silly-a$$ whining and bitching about spurious and non sequitur subject matter doesn't do a thing to help him.

Your Fat Orange Boy is phukked.

Deservedly so.

Because for dems it’s different. Not one leftardian will say nobody is above the law.

 

[BluesLegend]

Did Biden promise the judge a judicial appointment or some other bribe to RIG the case?

what?

They ALL seem to be saying that

leaving out the rest of it-meaning:

No one is above the law

except for us democrats

It is implied anyway, doesn't even have to say it

How do you "rig" a criminal case. The prosecution presented their witnesses and their evidence to the jury, and the defense was free to cross exam them, and to question the veracity of the evidence and the testimony.

Having followed the trial closely, the defense was non-existent. Not once did the defense question the veracity of the physical evidence - the checks, text messages, and emails.

Trump complained of the "salacious" testimony of prosecution, yet refused to stipulate to anything, which resulted in a parade of witnesses who confirmed that yes, what the prosecution said was true. That includes Stormy Daniels.

Trump is still saying "I never had sex with that woman!". NOBODY believes him. I'll bet YOU don't even believe that one. Then he said he "only met her once", and yet Trump Tower staffers testified to Trump meeting with her at Trump Tower, and that Daniels was listed in the firm's telephone directory of "corporate contacts".

Staffers at Trump Tower and the White House testified to Trump signing the checks, and yes, Trump was a control freak when it came to paying bills, and wanted every invoice cut by 20%, except he never questioned the reimbursement payments. NONE of that testimony would have happened if Trump had stipulated that yes he had sex with that woman, and yes that's his signature on those checks.

While you keep trying to prosecute Joe Biden for corruption without a shred of evidence, when presented with REAL EVIDENCE and REAL WITNESSES to the very real crimes that Donald Trump has committed, you suddenly become deaf, dumb and blind to everything proving his guilt.

With Trump, everything is "rigged". When his TV show didn't win an Emmy, he said the Emmies are "rigged". Trump was claiming the 2016 election was "rigged" before he won the election, and he continued to claim it was "rigged" after he won, because he didn't win the popular vote.

Every trial he's lost it was because it was "rigged". Not because he was guilty, and the evidence was overwhelming against him. Any time Trump loses, goes, broke, or get's caught, it's because he's being persecuted by someone. What a fucking loser, Trump is.

The 2020 election was "stolen" because Trump couldn't publically admit he lost to a "loser" like Joe Biden. Trump is already claiming the 2024 election is rigged.

So why bother to run, if it's rigged against him.

So you have absolutely no response. Your abject concession is duly noted and appreciated.
