I've been a listener to your podcasts, now a viewer of your YouTube videos, since before this Trump legal saga began. Your shows are always very informative and enlightening. However, I do have two questions about the current NYC Trump trial that I hope you will answer: 1) How is it possible for Judge Merchan to be the presiding judge on THREE Trump-related cases if the selection process is "random"? And, 2) If everything you say about this trial is valid, and I have no reason to believe it is not, why hasn't, or won't, a higher, appellate court intervene immediately to stop this travesty? Thank you for your work protecting the Constitution - for ALL of us, not just DJT - and have a Happy Passover! E. Kennedy
A former New York judge said assigning Justice Merchan to the case was consistent with a common practice in the Manhattan criminal trial court of grouping related cases with a single judge. The hush-money investigation and earlier probes of Mr. Trump and his business, if not closely related, were at least cousins, the former judge said.
Can't help but wonder if anti-Trump republicans are rooting for a conviction before their convention in July so they strip the presumptive nominee of his victory in the primaries and caucuses.
What do I think about the trial? It’s an orchestrated corrupt attack on President Trump by the left, we could blame it on Biden and his administration but the fact is there are many who have been around for years and have close ties to Obama, orchestrating this. Let’s not forget the Soros funding and remember George Soros said he would do anything he can to stop Trump…
But hey, let’s just allow them to attack Trump and fail to fight back, right speaker Johnson, right Jim Jordan? But we had Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger, jumping on Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats ridiculous J6 committee right? They don’t play fair they play hardball Smash Mouth, and the only response is smash them back in the mouth… legally of course…
And let’s please recognize that these Partisan unfair judges are part of the problem. In addition to these Partisan hack DA offices…
Professor, I'd like to know, after Trump wins on appeal on all these fake charges, does he have legal recourse? Can he sue for false accusations? Can he recoup his legal costs? Can he claim damages? Officials should not be able to get away with unconstitutional and imaginary "criminal" charges against any citizen. For an ordinary person, the legal costs for defending oneself against false and made up crimes would bankrupt oneself. Trump can well afford to fight all these attacks....so he is fighting for all of us.
So sad that the greatest justice system based on the Holy Commandments of our Divine Creator is being trashed by politics

A show trial by Biden's administrative state. See my latest article at the American Thinker:
