Historic: A Corrupt Judge and Jury Convicts Former President Trump

Former President Donald J. Trump was convicted yesterday on thirty-four manufactured highly suspect and questionable so-called “felonies”, in one of the most significant moments in history, by a jury lacking two brain cells among them, or so steeped in Trump Derangement Syndrome and mentally deficient that they quickly dismissed reality and the actual legal facts of the case to use a fiction and a massive fabrication to convict him, based on the word of known liar Michael Cohen. Never have the American people seen a verdict more political and unjust than the “guilty” verdict handed President Trump on May 30th 2024 by twelve corrupt jurors, and all America can now clearly see the consequences of allowing our justice system to be weaponized and turned into a political tool by Marxist-Maoist district attorneys, such as Manhattan’s Alvin Bragg, as they drive the country down the path of past banana republics.

Soon after the verdict was read, Speaker Mike Johnson stated:

“The weaponization of our justice system has been a hallmark of the Biden Administration, and the decision today is further evidence that Democrats will stop at nothing to silence dissent and crush their political opponents. The American people see this as lawfare, and they know it is wrong — and dangerous. President Trump will rightfully appeal this absurd verdict — and he WILL WIN!” [via New York Post]

It took them long enough to get Trump somewhat cornered, since the nation has seen the Democrats use everything under the sun, from the phony Steele Dossier and spying on the Trump campaign in 2016 to the two unconscionable impeachments based on reams of outright lies and on to several subsequent lawfare cases like Georgia’s massive state RICO case and two federal prosecutions in Florida and D.C., in order to imprison him or, at the very least, destroy him politically. And one must note that the Biden regime sent associate attorney general Michael Colangelo to help direct the efforts of both Alvin Bragg and Letitia James to successfully prosecute Trump in 2022.

One must also note that Judge Juan Merchan, a foreign-born acting judge, was heavily biased against Trump, his defense team and the few who sat on the stand to testify in his defense. He imposed several gag orders on Trump during the course of the trial, one of which came after Trump brought the fact to light that Merchan’s daughter, Loren Merchan, a political consultant to Democrat politicians, had helped Democrats raise $93 million off Trump’s business records case and the fact he’d been indicted. Judge Merchan also reprimanded Trump’s defense attorney Todd Blanche for simply urging the jury to consider if the evidence [the lack of evidence] was enough to “send someone to prison”.

This case against Trump was prosecuted through the twisting manipulation and misapplication of law. No state prosecutor in the nation, not New York, Tennessee or anywhere else had charged federal election laws as a direct or predicate state crime against anyone in the manner District Attorney Alvin Bragg used against Trump. When one sets aside the specifics of election law, we see the Manhattan DA’s office as rarely brings a case to court on falsification of business records; and the way Alvin Bragg originally viewed it once it came to his desk, it was such a tendentious and weak case focused on the alleged intentional falsification of internal business records in the service of campaign finance fraud, that he refused to prosecute it, until he decided it would make for a winning campaign promise of taking Trump down.

Bragg finally alleged that Trump intended to commit another crime, when he supposedly falsified his business records. Under the election-law violation used by Bragg, he incorporated three separate “unlawful means” described as federal campaign crimes, tax crimes and falsification of more documents, but he never provided clarification on what those unlawful means actually were, and Judge Mechan declined to force him to disclose them, until right before closing arguments. I guess Democrats are unfamiliar with the Sixth Amendment to the Constitution and Trump’s right to hear the accusations against him prior to the trial. So much for due process under the law.

These charges were crafted for Trump and nobody else, and his trial was absolutely and 100% rigged. This jury and its verdict deserve no respect.

Every single American is still waiting to hear just exactly what crime it was that Trump supposedly broke. It’s not illegal under any set of circumstances to settle a matter out of court with a sex worker with a non-disclosure agreement — properly detailed in the books as a “legal expense”. He’s a “convicted felon” like I’m Captain Ahab.

It’s a case of “give me the man, and I will find the crime”, a phrase long attributed to Lavrently Beria, the Soviet secret police chief.

And a hue and cry has reverberated throughout the regions and bastions of the Democrat Lunacy Land, that “Donald J. Trump is a convicted felon”, which is precisely what they sought for political reasons and the public relations propaganda this will provide the flailing Biden regime. Although they’d love to see him imprisoned for twenty years or more, most of them do understand it ain’t gonna’ happen, so they will settle for this tasteless, repugnant “victory”, that serves as a slash at the core of America’s presidency and the republic itself.

This also sets a terrible precedent, and it will have subsequent presidents studying every decision they hope to make to the point of exasperation, too often leading to bad decisions and failed policies, as presidents and their staff second guess their every move, wondering if something might be used to prosecute them in a similar fashion.

For anyone who believes Biden’s hands haven’t been all over this legal assault and persecution of Donald Trump, just listen to Alina Habba’s [Trump lawyer] recent interview with Shannon Bream at Fox News;

“Shannon, I haven’t had faith in the state of New York since I saw what they do to President Trump and started working for him … Uum … I’ll be honest with you. What I’ve seen over the past few cases — what I’ve seen in some of the other cases in the State of New York, what I’ve seen with the coordination of DAs and AGs, and we have some information that’s come out today and obviously about judge’s affiliations and other things like that, I mean it’s as corrupt as can be. And … unfortunately, the State of New York has failed its citizens — and we’re seeing it time and time again — but it’s failed the citizens for one party, and that’s silencing the Republican Party. And it’s not right and it’s unAmerican and frankly at this point … I’ve had enough angry sound-bites in these courthouses now, I could say almost an entire block … It’s a disgrace to the American people; we should all pray to save our country, frankly at this point. … The jury charges were unfair, very unfair frankly … What they’re doing is not about books and records. It’s a side show; it’s a way to stop the American people from looking at Biden’s policies that are failing … We have Biden supporters — I can’t imagine how or why — they’re now waking up and saying ‘Whoa! This is not America. … we can’t survive another four years of this.’ … I don’t think countries need to hit rock bottom. I don’t see why we couldn’t have continued on an upward trajectory of American morals, of the Constitution. I’m not sure why we had to hit this low point to be honest, but if that’s what gets President Trump back in office, sure.

Joe Biden unfortunately can’t do anything in office, so he’s got to use the same means as somebody who’s just trying to have a quick slip and fall and make money. And that is frankly what we are seeing right now. This is exactly a Biden show, because he’s got to distract the American people. Listen … how can you say the Biden administration’s not responsible for this trial … Shannon, you should look at how many logs they have of state officials, Letitia James, Fani Willis, visiting the White House and then tell me that this is not a Biden trial. I don’t care … [speaking to Shannon] you’re right. The feds passed on this case, also DA Cy Vance passed on this case … and [Alvin] Bragg passed on this case. Do you know when it came back. When he decided to run for office. So tell me how that’s not an indication that Joe Biden who just sent his campaign [spokesperson] down here with Robert Dinero yesterday wasn’t a part of this. Frankly, any question we had of that was squashed yesterday, and if you have even more concerns if he’s involved in this, look at the fact that he is publicizing — literally publicizing — for tonight to have a speech if a verdict comes out. That’s a sad state of affairs, meanwhile our country is falling apart. He’s got bigger fish to fry.”

Today, May 31st, Alina Habba went on to very nearly outright state that former President Obama was orchestrating much of the persecution of Trump from behind the scenes, given the fact he’s still flying with Biden on Air Force One. And it makes perfect sense, after what came to light in Obama’s and NSA Director Susan Rice’s illegal use of the FISA Court against Trump and his allies in 2016, at the behest of Hillary Clinton. [I knew he should have locked her up.]

A line in the sand has been crossed and an arena once forbidden has been opened, by the Democrat Party communists and fascists who seek to retain power by any means necessary, and this has placed Trump on trial for his life and America in a fight for Her life too. If they succeed in their illegal, creative manipulation of the legal system to continue silencing Trump in court, by way of gag orders and interfere with a presidential election, in order to keep their man in power [whoever that will ultimately be] and hold the Oval Office, it’s only going to be a matter of time before they turn this tactic on each and every one of their conservative and independent opponents across the board in all walks of American society, and everybody should prepare accordingly.

The law was never meant to be wielded as a cudgel by political “Yes Men” willing to do the bidding of whoever holds power on any given day. When we were a better nation and a more moral nation, we didn’t have petty bureaucrats and elected district attorneys trying to manufacture crimes and misuse obscure, long-forgotten “laws” to tailor to fit a political opponent they seek to neutralize or destroy. But now that Letitia James, Fani Willis and Alvin Bragg have assaulted Donald Trump in a most egregious manner through lawfare, simply because he is Biden’s opponent and they hate him and everything he supports and advocates, and this has turned our justice system — once based on democratic values and due process of the law — into something ugly and recognizable only through the prism of old Soviet tribunals.

No matter who wins the election in November — Trump or Biden either one — our nation will not return to anything near normal, as the American people will always question whether or not a conservative or Republican [a Christian] can receive a fair trial in a state or city controlled by Democrats where people are certain to continue to pursue politically motivated criminal charges against their political opponents.

In full disclosure, I’ve never been a strong supporter of President Trump for a litany of well-founded reasons that I’ve detailed in past articles, mainly in regard to his lockdown of America, sovereignty-killing USMCA and violations of the Second and Fourth Amendments, but Trump should never have been charged, much less convicted. Regardless of one’s view of Trump, seeing any American wrongly convicted by way of a kangaroo court and a heavily biased jury should be an affront to us all.

Even with all his flaws, Trump will be a million times better than Biden should he manage to win in November. Despite governing like an old-style yellow dog Democrat and proponent of Big Government, however wrong or right he is on the issues, I do think he actually loves America and Her people, and I believe he will do his best to secure our borders, move ahead with deportations of illegals and revive our energy production thus reviving our economy too. And now, with this guilty verdict, many Americans, who were previously opposed to Trump or on the fence are now, are vowing to “crawl over broken glass to vote for him now”.

This “guilty” verdict for Donald Trump is a damned joke and so far removed from anything remotely resembling “justice” that the entire nation should be infuriated over it. If they can do this to a former U.S. President, the entire American population is now at risk from the existential threat now inherent in its “justice system”.

“Justice System”??? We no longer have one — at least not one that anybody can trust!!!

By creating this mechanism through an invisible predicate “crime”, the Democrat Party has cemented this act into history, along with the certain knowledge of any who review it, that this was a purely political persecution and not any legitimate judicial process, in the slightest. The case will more than likely be overturned on appeal, but the Democrats won’t care, since they’ve accomplished their mission and hamstrung the top opposition candidate for President of the United States [to some degree], and by the time it’s overturned, any real justice will have arrived too late for the American people and too late for the Republic, and Lady Justice will have been tarnished forever.

But to date, it seems to have backfired somewhat, as the persecution of Trump is actually increasing his favorability among voters. Just today, he received a six-point bump in the polls. Americans love an underdog.

As Townhall journalist Matt Vespa recently wrote:

“Democrats paved the way to take political scalps by any means necessary. Republicans should not be afraid to do the same.”

The sword of the Lady of Justice has a double-edge, and our freedom and individual liberty are hanging by a thread, and anyone who loves this country must now come to terms with its current fallen nature, as we plan accordingly for what’s to come, after Trump wins in November. Her blindfold has long been yanked from her face, by America’s enemies-from-within, and rather than yearn for the return of a blindfolded Lady Justice or seek some unattainable, loosely defined moral high ground set by the GOP, it’s time to forcefully and fiercely execute all the power of the federal government and its institutions to reward freedom and liberty-loving conservatives and independents — those fighting for civilization, traditional America and sanity — and punish America’s domestic terrorists and enemies-from-within quickly and with extreme prejudice, as warranted under righteous law, especially all who have most recently put America in harm’s way through their acts of treason.

However harsh and “unfair” this may sound to some who fail to understand the meaning of “righteous law”, it’s necessary, if we ever wish to see America renewed as a shining city on the hill, a beacon of hope for the world, and our people and society restored with integrity and a moral clarity that has been sorely missing for far too long.
