• Merchan Issues Toothless Sentence For Trump, Allows Audio Recording In Show Of Vanity

    If justice prevails, a peek into the future (X screencap).

    Lawfare judge Juan "we don't need no stinking jurisprudence" Merchan ruled on president-elect Donald Trump's hush money case today.

    The sentence for the statute-of-limitations-expired 34 misdemeanors-defibrillated-into-felonies was as toothless as Nancy Pelosi when she drops her dentures into a bedside cup of water.

    As a Fox News reporter noted, the only people left protesting outside the New York Supreme Court building at the time of sentencing were Trump supporters, one of whom held aloft a sign saying, "Enough Is Enough".

    Merchan ruled on an "unconditional discharge" for a sentence, wishing Trump "godspeed as you assume a second term of office" in a stab at taking the high ground. This vainglorious attempt after months of sniveling gag orders, petty recriminations, and collusion with the New York Democratic machine.

    Reminder: Merchan wasn't even on the docket of judges to hear the Trump case. He materialized on the bench as if by magic, or simply at the behest of Letitia James and Alvin Bragg.

    Reminder: Merchan refused to recuse himself despite his daughter's job as president of a Democratic PR firm for political campaigns that used this very trial to raise money for Dems such as Adam Schiff. Instead, he slapped a second gag order on Trump to prohibit him from mentioning Loren Merchan again.

    Reminder: the felony charges were concocted like a legal witch's brew. Ear of bat, eye of toad, and voila! As reported by Reason:

    Ordinarily, falsification of business records, which requires "an intent to defraud," is a misdemeanor. But it becomes a felony when the defendant's "intent to defraud" includes "an intent to commit another crime or to aid or conceal the commission thereof." The prosecution's theory of "another crime" relies on Section 17-152 of the New York Election Law—a statute so obscure that experts said they had never seen another criminal case based on it. That provision makes it a misdemeanor for "two or more persons" to "conspire to promote or prevent the election of any person to a public office by unlawful means."

    The clear intent of Merchan's sentencing was to give historians (and social media shills) the ability to claim--before the inevitable mistrial appeal to come--that upon inauguration, Trump will be a "convicted felon".

    Right. The same way the Hunter Biden laptop was a hoax, Joe is mentally fit for office, and Hillary just happens to be friends with ~50 people who committed suicide.

    To hear the audio of the lawfare verdict--which Merchan allowed today only, and which a Fox reporter wisely recognized as Merchan's vain desire to hear his own voice sentencing Trump recorded in the annals of history--listen to the recorded livestream below.
