Jack Smith Makes Me Think Trump Won in 2020

 

I used to be agnostic on the victor in the 2020 presidential election.

I simply didn't know since our system is so botched and riddled with holes in almost every state it's difficult to determine the winner in any of our elections that are even relatively close.

 

I still remain somewhat agnostic, but the tenacity, resembling monomania, with which our Torquemada-like special prosecutor Jack Smith seeks to indict and convict Donald Trump leads me to believe Mr. Trump actually won.

Many may also feel that way because of the manner in which Mr. Trump's poll numbers tend to grow the more he is indicted.

I admit my reaction is to some extent psychological/emotional, but it does have a factual basis.  [...]

Trump loses bid to move hush money case to federal court

 

Former President Trump on Tuesday lost his bid to move his hush money case from New York state courts to federal jurisdiction. 

Why it matters: Trump is due to be sentenced later this month in the case, in which he was found guilty on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to conceal payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels. The ruling means the case will remain with state Judge Juan Merchan.

 

• Trump unsuccessfully tried to argue Merchan was biased against him. His lawyers are also trying to get sentencing moved to after the election.
• "It would be highly improper for this Court to evaluate issues of bias, unfairness or error in the state trial," federal Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein wrote. "Those are issues for the state appellate courts."

What's inside: Hellerstein also rejected Trump's request for a new assessment of how a recent Supreme Court decision shielding presidents from legal liability for official acts relates to the hush money case.

• "Nothing in the Supreme Court's opinion affects my previous conclusion that the hush money payments were private, unofficial acts, outside of the bounds of executive authority," Hellerstein wrote.

Wash, rinse, and repeat.  Isn’t the Harris campaign also recruiting influencers?  Btw, when you quote a comment, shouldn’t the response actually be relevant?

The point was that under oath Fani and Nathan Wade stated their relationship ended before they began their persecution of Trump, and now that Fani needs to come to the assistance of her daughter she shows up with Nathan Wade.  Who was it that says no one is above the law?

Well , they openly stated the friendship survived the romantic interlude .

Who knows , now that there are no work  tensions …she is a b/it bossy ( good on her 😂)….perhaps the flame reignited as you seem to believe.

 

Workplace romance often leads to marriage …😂

So you ignored the part that under oath they said the relationship had ended.

Secret Video:  Manhattan Attorney's Office Spokesman Says Bragg's Case Against Trump is 'Nonsense'

 

It has been obvious right from the beginning that Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's case against Trump was a half-baked mélange of wild exaggeration, unwarranted conclusions, and legal sleight of hand, all in pursuit of allowing Bragg's fellow Democrats to intone sanctimoniously that Trump was a "convicted felon."

In a refreshing twist, however, now a top spokesman for Bragg's own home base, the Manhattan U.S. Attorney's Office, has admitted as much, calling Bragg's case "nonsense."  As of this writing on Thursday afternoon, the poor fellow is not yet looking for new employment, but he may be soon.  [...]

BREAKING:  Merchan Delays Trump Sentencing -- and Immunity Review -- Past Election Day

 

Good news/bad news?  Perhaps, so let's start with the good news.  Judge Juan Merchan agreed to postpone sentencing for Donald Trump in the so-called "hush money" case.  Originally, Merchan had scheduled the final phase for September 18, which would have risked Trump being sent to jail or prison in the final weeks of the presidential campaign.

 

Instead, sentencing will take place around Thanksgiving:  [...]

Harris Campaign Is Paying Trump Judge's Daughter.  Yeah, That's Happening.

 

[...] the top SUNY spokesman, Nicholas Biase, said the bogus case against Trump is "a perversion of justice," "It's a travesty of justice," "a mockery of justice," "nonsense," and, stop me if you've heard this one before, a case in which DA Alvin Bragg stacked, "charges and rearrang[ed] things just to make it fit a case."  You don't say?  You should see the video over in Robert's story.  Gold.

 

But that's not the biggest body blow against the judge's one-of-a-kind case.  No, that honor goes to Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) who has entered another ethics complaint against Merchan with conclusive proof that Merchan's daughter, who has made bank on her dad's case for her Democrat political consultancy, was paid directly by Trump's opponent, Kamala Harris.  [...]

Judge in Trump Non-Disclosure and Records Case Sued for Hiding His Disclosures and Records

 

How many data points must you identify before you can identify a pattern?

This is a question I've pondered about in the case of New York's Acting Judge Juan Merchan.  He is the judge presiding over the bookkeeping and non-disclosure agreement case of Donald Trump.  What happens when you hide evidence of a pattern?  Ironically—and illegally—Judge Merchan and the people at the oxymoronically-named Ethics Commission for the New York State Unified Court System have been hiding the judge's records and disclosures since 2018.  America First Legal is suing both Merchan and ethics overseers for illegally hiding the judge's disclosures for the past seven years.  [...]
