This professor didn't exactly say it, but reversal is guaranteed, imo.

If that comment was legitimate, then the leftists' utter glee will have done them in.

A self-described ‘s** poster’ launched a Trump conviction conspiracy theory with one Facebook message

 

On Friday evening, Justice Juan Merchan, the judge who oversaw Donald Trump’s hush money trial in New York, sent a letter to prosecutors and the former president’s legal team alerting them to a strange, post-verdict development in the case. The court noted that it had become aware of a comment on the New York Courts’ Facebook page from a user named Michael Anderson, who claimed, prior to the guilty verdict being announced, “My cousin is a juror and says Trump is getting convicted.”

The post was made one day before the historic verdict that saw Trump convicted of 34 felonies.

His post helped launch a new wave of conspiracy theories online with some right-wing posters claiming that the Trump trial was rigged and that the former president already faced a verdict before the jury announced its decision. Some were even demanding a mistrial be called.

Others simply labeled him a “troll.”

 

Facebook user “Michael Anderson” made the alarming post. But, the account is lightly used with only four public posts visible. Two of which are repost of recipes. That was until Friday, when posted a few times after his connection to the Trump Trial was revealed.

On his page, Anderson describes himself as a “transabled & a professional poster.”

In one of the few messages on the page, posted Friday, the account’s owner elaborates on sh**posting, defining such messages as “intentionally designed to derail discussions or cause the biggest reaction with the least effort,” and tells readers, “Take it easy… I’m a professional shitposter.”

This is a highly understandable recap of the current situation(s).

What's next in the lawfare campaign against Trump

 

[...] it's too early to know precisely what effect Trump's conviction will have on the race.  But it is not too early to see that the confusion, emotionality, and endless arguments surrounding the verdict raise the possibility that the political impact of Trump's conviction will be muddled.  If that is the case, the muddle might also affect the public's view of the other Trump prosecutions that will go on between now and Election Day.  The short version is that, despite the success in Manhattan, it is not at all clear that lawfare will be an electoral winner for Democrats.  [...]

How can you commit election fraud after an election? This is political persecution which will be reversed, imho....but the 2024 election interference is already done.

This will reverse the convictions.  SELECTIVE PROSECUTION-NY refused to prosecute Hillary for a very, very similar "crime" in the 2016 election. The Steele dossier cost was listed as a legal expense.....and we know the Steele document was intended to interfere with the election.

Searching for the Truth About the Raid at Mar-a-Lago

 

Top officials at the Department of Justice are downplaying recently disclosed documents showing FBI agents were authorized to use deadly force during their 2022 raid of Donald Trump's Florida estate, Mar-a-Lago.

Responding to Trump's claim that "Joe Biden was locked & loaded ready to take me out & put my family in danger," FBI Director Christopher Wray said the bureau was following "standard operating procedure" as it executed a search warrant on Aug. 8, 2022, regarding classified material that the former president was holding at Mar-a-Lago.  [...]

At the Supreme Court, two cases lay bare New York's legal wasteland

 

[...] James secured an obscene civil penalty of almost half a billion dollars without having to show there was a single victim or dollar lost from alleged overvaluation of assets.

 

Through various contortions, Bragg converted a dead misdemeanor case into 34 felonies in an unprecedented prosecution.  New Yorkers and the media insisted that such selective prosecution was in defense of the "rule of law."

This week in the Supreme Court, a glimpse of the legal landscape outside of Manhattan came more sharply into view.  It looked very different as the Supreme Court, with a strong conservative majority, defended the rights of defendants and upheld core principles that are being systematically gutted in New York.  [...]

Judge Cannon's Latest Ruling May Have Shot Down One Trump Claim but It's Likely Giving Jack Smith Ulcers

We knew Judge Aileen Cannon likely wouldn't rule right away on the multiple motions heard before her over the past week in the classified documents case against former President Donald Trump.  The issues are complicated, and there are a lot of moving parts in the case.

So when I first saw the headline: "Cannon rejects Trump claims FBI botched Mar-a-Lago search," I was a bit surprised at the swiftness of the ruling.  And I figured Trump and his legal team were likely disappointed with the ruling.

Then I took a closer look (always recommended).  [...]

Judge Merchan in the NY "Hush Money" case has now delayed Trump's sentencing from Jul 11 to mid September.......after his formal nomination as the Republican candidate will have taken place.  The Trump attorneys have asked Merchan to throw out the verdect in light of the SCOTUS ruling.

Judge Merchan in the NY "Hush Money" case has now delayed Trump's sentencing from Jul 11 to mid September

Possible reasons:

He lost his nerve in light of the SCOTUS ruling and wants to scheme anew.

He's waiting to see if Bidementia's ratings improve between now & then.

He wants to jail Trump then, to keep him off the campaign trail during the most crucial time.

 

I think that the last one is most likely.
