A case without merit
Yesterday was supposed to be about jury selection and points of interest in the controversial criminal prosecution over hush money paid to former porn star Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election. It is all part of the crusade by highly partisan DAs and prosecutors who have scoured the civil and criminal codes for any basis to prosecute Donald Trump before the 2024 election.
It was only a few weeks ago that another unhinged partisan judge imposed a half billion-dollar penalty in a case with no victims and little cause for a case being brought. Now we are knee deep in the absurd case of a misdemeanor before the 2016 election under state law that had already expired under the statute of limitations. Bragg had once dismissed the idea of bringing such a case, but one of his attack dogs Mark Pomerantz resigned out of frustration because the case was not taken up. Pomerantz defied legal ethics by publishing a book on the case against Trump, who was still under investigation and not charged, let alone convicted, of any crime. That was enough to get the clueless Bragg to bring the case that so many others would not.
Yesterday the judge in the case, who is compromised by his daughter's support of Joe Biden, accepted recommendations on evidence from the prosecution, while shooting down just about every request of the defense. Prosecutors asked Merchan to fine Trump $3,000 for alleged violations of a gag order prohibiting talking about potential witnesses in the case. Merchan will hold a hearing April 23. A jury selection pool of 96 people was then asked if they could be fair and impartial. Fifty of them immediately disqualified themselves and walked out. Can we trust the rest?
The state of New York, which overwhelmingly voted Democrat at the 2020 election.
The remainder were subjected to 42 questions, which asked about extremist group membership, whether they had attended any Trump rallies, or read any of former President Trump's books, as well as their news-consumption habits. Other than a single question of BLM membership the questions for the most part were slanderous to the followers of Donald Trump and indicative of the bias of a kangaroo court.
The judge then warned Donald Trump that he must attend the trial, or a warrant would be issued. Trump is also, until a final decision, not allowed to attend his immunity hearing. The low point for this farce will be the appearance of the serial perjurer Michael Cohen on the stand.

Good morning.
Boston Marathon results:
Sisay Lemma of Ethiopia won the men’s race with a time of 2:06:17. In the women’s race, Hellen Obiri of Kenya won for the second year straight finishing in 2:22:37.
As usual I found it all very underwhelming.
congrats to republicans for another first in american history, a former president as a defendant in criminal court.
democrats get all the credit....for another first in American history...Lawfare against an American President.
another glaring example of maga family values...
For what? 8 years of made up hoaxes and fictional charges that resulted in a never before misdemeanor charges as a "felony"?
1st trial of how many??
lolololol
what does that even mean? 'lawfare against the former 'president''?
Lawfare is the use of legal systems and institutions to damage or delegitimize an opponent, or to deter an individual's usage of their legal rights .
.
Donald Trump wants to be above the law. He announced his presidential campaign in November of 2022, two years before the election, for the exact purpose of claiming he was being prosecuted because he is running for president.
Lawfare - Sounds like some stupid shit the far reich would make up.
No one is using 'lawfare' use of the legal systems and institutions against the traitor turd Nothing has been done to take away the traitor turds' legal rights - the turd is obviously guilty of everything anyway
The daily dump
a different crowd will be chanting 4 more years at trump's sentencing...
Bet?
[deleted][✘]
But you won't back up your claim.
Wow, he was awake?
AWESOME!
As soon as you back up ANY of yours
No. There's no impropriety going on here. /s
I'm not saying the judge in this case cannot remain neutral, but the people who will defend the judge in this by stating it's only his daughter are the same ones who continue to complain about Jenny Thomas.
Progressives never recuse themselves.
Correct.
Remember when Trump's first AG rushed to recuse himself and the DOJ got played?
It opens up a valid argument for the appeal (if needed).
This judge is racking up the arguments for an appeal. We should feel good about him always ruling in favor of the prosecution.
progressives, and the judge don’t care about an appeal. They don’t care that trump essentially won’t be punished even ultimately loses, (the punishment is almost non existent for this “crime”), the only point is to get the talking point that he’s a “convicted felon.”
If it gets tossed on appeal after the election, who Cares?
That is precisely what this is about.
Ginni 'wears the pants' thomas, crooked thomas - in the pocket of Harlan Crowe thomas? That thomas?
Way to prove the point.
No. Not at all.
ginni thomas was complicit in attempts to overturn the election - crooked token thomas should recuse himself
Always defending the indefensible and deflecting.
Plus the NY Post?
Such a great source.
lol
None of that is true anyway.
No, you're the one defending and deflecting. By your own printed logic from 2.1.12, Judge Merchan should recuse himself.
Very typical, when one has no evidence then one attacks the source. Sad.
Prove it's not true. As been stated repeatedly, just stating 'Nah ah' is not evidence or validation.
I'm curious, if Merchan was a trump supporter, (or his daughter was), would you be complaining? Do you think Judge Cannon should recuse herself?
Never in a million years.
Nope.
the ny post - is trash and not reliable
No, you are
Using the logic that Tessylo uses for Justice Thomas, Judge Merchan should recuse himself due to the activities of his daughter. Or do you think that Justice Thomas is being wrongly accused just due to his wife being a Trump supporter and having called Mark Meadows?
Just being a democrat or republican IMO is not sufficient grounds to recuse themselves. But my comment was directly related to the logic that Tessylo uses against Justice Thomas.
Simple question back at you. If as you propose if Merchan was a Trump supporter and his daughter as president of a political consulting firm did work for Republicans only, would you object and think that Judge Merchan should recuse himself?
I'm glad we never have to hear another progressive complain about Justice Thomas again, if nothing else.
I'm sure the site will soon be flooded with apologies from those who maligned him because of his wife.
LOL... now you know better.
Was Judge Merchan's daughter in favor of overthrowing the government?
This whataboutism in defense of Trump is insane.
you can do it
Obviously didn't read or understand the posting at 2.1.25 that you responded to. There's no whataboutism at all, that's your imagination.
All I stated was that using the same logic that Tessylo uses for Justice Thomas, that Judge Merchan should also recuse himself.
for god's sake just stop
Just stop what? You need to make yourself clear. All I've done is ask Tessylo if the same logic she uses to state that Justice Thomas should recuse himself from any Jan 6th case that comes before SCOTUS can also be used to state that Judge Merchan should recuse himself. After all, Judge Merchan has donated to the Biden election and other Democrat functions, his daughter as president of Authentic Campaigns has the following to her credit.
That's it, that's all there is in my postings. What the fuck are you trying to say?
The deflections and denials and the whataboutisms and the defense of the indefensible is so fucking tiresome
you equate donating to the Biden campaign with trying to subvert the presidential election?
this is craziness to me
Clarence Thomas is the closest confidante of his wife. It is highly likely he knew everything she was doing.
to be honest with you, i dont understand the entire line of reasoning they are coming up with
Nope, that's all on you. Go back and read all the postings between myself & Tessylo. All I've done is ask her if the same logic applies.
If you can't see that, it's on you.
That's by your choice. I've been very clear in what I am talking about.
because there is no logic and reason involved
And the judge is probably going to refuse to let Trump go to his son's graduation on top of making him sit through this boring selection and trial bullshit.
It is all about hate. It will turn off a lot of independent voters.
Not specifically what you were opining, but it's the only poll in MY newsfeed this week on the subject.
A poll that fell along party lines.
That would indicate that we may have some stealth jurors. God knows who might slip in. There are people who want to be on that jury.
At this point I wouldn't expect anything else.
It only says partisans have already made up their mind. It in no way indicates that partisans will be jurors.
It is just as likely that Trump supporters make the jury as Trump haters.
Absolutely ridiculous, it is not as likely, New York county voted 87% to 12% for Biden over trump. it is 7 times more likely a Biden supporter is on the jury.
You kinda got that bassackwards, too...
If that were to happen you'll have a hung jury.
and how many dissenters does it take to hang a jury ?
All jurists swear to tell the truth under threat of perjury. If any one of those people get's caught lying it won't go well for them no matter which way they lean. Reports coming out today say the judge and lawyers are even looking at jurists social media posts. The chances of anyone getting through that can taint the pool is slim to none, no matter how paranoid hyper-partisans are. They think they will go through over 500 people to find 12 plus the alternates.
That's what the former 'president' is all about plus the magats. It's turned off a lot of independent voters.
I think you missed the Simpson Jury, who not long after their verdict admitted that it was "payback."
I don't recall any consequences for them.
They haven't ruled on that question yet. They only ruled on Trump attending SCOTUS arguments next week.
It has been noted.
Cool. Thank you.
No problem.
Facts need to be accepted by all of us.
[✘]
I hope he does. Trump has been attacking the judge non-stop. Trump needs to learn to shut his fucking mouth.
Do you actually think he went to ANY of his children's graduations?????????????????????
"In Addition to being prohibited from attending my son Barron’s High School Graduation, I have just learned that the highly biased Judge in the Soros “appointed” D.A. Alvin Bragg’s Witch Hunt Case, will not allow me to attend the historic PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY argument in front of The United States Supreme Court, on Thursday, April 25th (next week!). This shows such great disdain and disrespect for our Nation’s Highest Court, especially for a topic so important as Presidential Immunity, without which our Country would never be the same!"
Donald Trump
Dear Donald,
Boo Fucking Hoo!
Sincerely,
Every Criminal Dependent in History
Boo Fucking Hoo for Biden.
Watch that crowd in Wilmington, North Carolina Saturday.
You mean the kind of crowd that can be counted using your fingers and toes................well most of them anyway LOL
I mean this kind of crowd:
He will be there Saturday night. I don't know how he does it. I'd be dozing in Court too.
Whoops I was talking about a Biden 'crowd".
Hunter is that you?
Oh sorry, easy to confuse when Democrats are allowed to skate for years on investigations that are made to fail. Have serious charges lapse due to statute of limitations expiring by DA's that refuse to bring charges. Offered sweet heart plea deals that would have given them immunity from future investigations/charges. And still get to jet set around the world on Air Force One with their bought and paid for father.
We can fit a Biden crowd into a Starbucks shop.
Do you ever get the feeling that there are two standards of justice?
Yes. The legal process has been far too deferential to Trump.
Is that a joke?
for one thing, he has repeatedly violated gag orders with no repercussions.
Why are there gag orders on Trump and not Letitia James?
It is campaign season. Neither candidate should be gagged, nor should Trump be forced to attend that trial while your dumb ass president is out campaigning.
Your arguments are incredibly weak.
“…nor should Trump be forced to attend that trial…”
Dismissing the understanding of the underpinnings of our jurisprudence system dismisses any arguments against it.
Unless, of course, there is an ulterior motive.
To the contrary: We that are Conservatives are now outnumbered here, thus we are kind of like Frederick the Great. We can't afford to lose a battle.
Especially with so many facts at our disposal.
Something that has been destroyed in the crusade to get Trump.
Fuck the former 'president'
Is that a joke?
None of that is true. Nothing but lies.
What arguments?
We're still waiting on any facts.
Some people might be taken, even remotely serious, if they backed up their claims.
Oh, the Biden crowd!
Here they were yesterday:
The one in 2019 at Cincinnati ... @!@
That's a pretty small venue, how many were you expecting?
We all know they won't.
Sounds like a Ukraine problem.
Some are above the law.
Sounds like a Ukraine problem.
Maybe Biden will warn Putin with "Don't."
It's not that their "above the law". It's shitty left leaning DAs that allow garbage like this to walk the street.
That dumbass couldn't spell it
True. Like Soros they hate the country.
That dumbass couldn't spell it
I'm sure he can't.
Ok Johnson, what about the border? The Senate faux bipartisan bill is a non starter. I don't care how many BP bus drivers Brandon wants to hire; nor how many uber leftist immigration judges he can appont. The goal is to fix the border and immigration problems. Not turn it into one large Democrat indoctrination center.
Screw Israel and Ukraine. Israel doesn't need US money- they are already the bully on the block in the ME. No country in the ME can touch their military power. If they want to buy US weapons great- we can sell them some; but they don't need US taxpayer money to do so. As for Ukraine, Russia has been proven not to be a threat to NATO or European countries. Time for the war to end. If Zelenskyy wants to fight to the last Ukrainian standing that is on him. Otherwise time to negotiate and realize that Crimea was never Ukraine's; and he may have to cede some southern territory.
We need to take care of ourselves for a change- instead of sending US taxpayer money to never ending sink holes abroad.
Leave it to Democrats/leftists to believe a convicted perjurer.
Democrats/leftists do love their criminals.
Unfortunately a TDS driven leftist judge is in charge for the case. One whose daughter works for a Democrat propaganda firm. I am sure she is enjoying fund raising off of the lead up and trial.
Speaking of fucking jokes. Only the Democrats would even remotely think this man is reliable. Well, then again...
One thing that Cohen has been very enlightening about is his fear of jail time and what he would do to avoid it:
Cohen then said "I'll sign the whole document if that means I don't have to go back to jail," according to Davis, but the U.S. Marshals said it was out of their hands and transported Cohen back to the federal facility in Brooklyn.
Michael Cohen back in custody after refusing terms of home confinement - CBS News
I think Cohen has found exactly the right tune for Alvin Bragg.
Yeah, the former 'president' is running for 'president' again due to the traitor/crook/thug/criminal/lifelonggrifter's fear of facing justice/behind bars for the rest of its' life.
Just one-third of U.S. adults think former President Trump, the presumptive 2024 GOP presidential nominee, committed a crime in the hush money case involving porn star Stormy Daniels, according to a new AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research poll.
This case is about state accounting fraud, not federal elections fraud.
I don't think you understand what Bragg is trying to do.
Acquittal or hung jury is assured.
or GUILTY
seven jurors were chosen today. they could be done seating the jury by the end of the week
Maybe, but it took two days to get the first seven and they still need eleven more. I've read where the judge has instructed the chosen jurors to report back to court on Monday.
Here are some small nuggets on the jurors.
“He walks into a room and he sets people off one way or another,” the juror said, who works as an IT consultant. “I find that really interesting. Really, this one guy can do all of this. Wow, that’s what I think.”
Here's what we know so far about the 7 jurors selected for Trump's 'hush money' trial (nypost.com)
Meta cleanup @4.1. Knock it off, folks.
In conclusion:
As noted above 7 jurors were selected. (4 men and 3 women) The case is moving at breakneck speed.
A few points on the day that began with a stormy start: Gag orders are issued to protect defendants, and, in this case, it is nonreciprocal. Michael Cohen is all over leftist tv talking about the case. As soon as this partisan judge tries to enforce it, Trump will be enabled to appeal it.
The best part of the day was when Donald Trump left the Courthouse and visited the Manhattan bodega where clerk Jose Alba infamously stabbed an ex-con to death in self-defense two years ago, a case that drew widespread outrage after he was initially charged with murder by New York's upside down woke legal system. Trump then stopped by the Sanaa Convenient Store in Harlem to meet the owners. He was cheered by people in the streets who chanted "Four more years."
Meanwhile Joe Biden after a long night's rest, made a leisurely campaign stop in Scranton PA.
Guess Barr is no longer a favorate of the left after being held up by so many of them...
There are no felonies? <cough>
