Damn that's twisted. You guys spent over a year trying to find dirt on biden and all you got was a car payment and lies from a kgb agent (see 1023 form). Meanwhile trump has gone through numerous grand juries (you know those are full of citizens) and you still say that. Hows the cult doing these days? And when will you bring the receipts on all that supposed fraud in 2020?

This is what the Sixth Amendment States. The Sixth Amendment guarantees the rights of criminal defendants, including the right to a public trial without unnecessary delay, the right to a lawyer, the right to an impartial jury, and the right to know who your accusers are and the nature of the charges and evidence against you. It has been most visibly tested in a series of cases involving terrorism, but much more often figures in cases that involve (for example) jury selection or the protection of witnesses, including victims of sex crimes as well as witnesses in need of protection from retaliation.

Sheehy got contracts, and has brought his family here for his dream ranch. He had been in Montana before and he and his wife had wanted to live here. Tester got enriched by lobbyists, graft, and corruption? Tester was bankrupt when he got elected, the farm a hobby farm, not is is a big landowner and multi-millionaire, maybe multi-billionaire. Tester expensive multiple campaign ads are repeated all over tv. I have one large postcard from Sheehy campaign. This is Merchan's daughter: big budget lies and slander multiple millions of dollars gathered during Judge Merchan's long drawn out made-for-tv show trial. The Merchan's have interferred in the elections both ways: get Trump, hold on to the U.S. Senate, and very likely supporting seats at risk in the House of Representatives to control U.S. Congress.

Here in the UK, it's hard for us to understand how state attorneys, that we know as public prosecutors, are funded by the biggest donor of a political party. Ours are publicly funded and would be instantly dismissed if found taking such funds. Surely, the actions of those S*r*s funded attorneys going after Trump could be correctly labelled as entirely politically motivated and therefore thrown out. How on earth can a country like the USA which we're constantly being told stands for 'freedom in everything', allow such a travesty in its judicial system?

Was Trump afforded the opportunity to take the stand in his defense? Was the trial open to the public? Did the judge revoke his bail after Trump threatened witnesses?

@@MikeW165 right. Now, considering where the appeal was filed… do you really expect anyone to play fair against Trump? Any other appellate court would have thrown out that case immediately for Merchan’s judicial misconduct, among other constitutional violations. Why wasn’t it? Because it was in deep-blue New York, the country’s largest Democrat stronghold.

Nope, the whole world knew nothing real. The Prosecutor and Media parroted the "hush money!" line for a lawful NDA, and did emotional hand-waving to distract from the lack of criminality. *A non-crime of declaring NDA expenses on Corporate taxes was uniliterally declared by the DA to have been a falsely filed campaign expense. * An error in tax filings would have to be investigated by a transparent audit, which wasn't done, to determine if it was an error or malintent. *If it was an error, it would be a civil tax penalty *If it was malintent, it would be a misdemeanor -- and the Statute of Limitations for that charge had expired *The DA then unilaterally declared that the tax filing was fraudulently made to conceal a deeper Felony crime, which would have a different Statute of Limitations. *The DA then floated various theories into the media, based on "campaign interference" or "election fraud" but never brought specific charges against Trump. *The Defense wanted to bring expert testimony against this theory, but was blocked by the Judge from doing so. *The DA neither charged nor proved ANY underlaying Felony crime, but brought three "theories" to the closing argument for the Jury to consider without ever giving the Trump campaign any evidence or time to prepare a rebuttal. *The Judge allowed this, and told the Jury they didn't have to have a unanimous decision, any decision would result in one of the three non-charged Felonies being applied to the 34 Felony counts levied at Trump. *The 34 Felony counts represent every time the NDA was mentioned in a tax filing as a corporate expense, or in an email or phone call. Does line 12a say the NDA was a Corporate expense? FELONY! Does line 54c in the same tax form say the NDA was a Corporate expense? ANOTHER FELONY! *Trump was found guilty of more Felonies than the Zodiac Killer, El Chapo and Al Capone combined. The whole world knows now the US is a failing state with a justice system being used as a weapon by the Democrats against their foes.

Gym is a criminal in contempt of Congress.
The whole prosecution team against President Trump has to be indicted along with the judge. They need lots of prison time.
Talk, talk, talk…but nothing beneficial ever gets done.
New York law requires ALL 12 jurors are unanimous on each charge. CHECK ITNOUT!
We need jury's names and addresses
Weaponizing judicial system and government agencies, with instructing a jury, "you don't have to be unanimous", not saying the charges til the end of trial...WHAT THE HECK....THE judge, d a must be held accountable for all this UNCONSTITUTIONAL LAWFARE and judicial proceedings. Disbarred, indicated fined... and MORE
Prosecutor and judge both need to be fitted for orange jumpsuits.
Why doesn't someone investgate how Merchan's daughter was involved and how much money she and the family made on Trump's trial? Seems like that should be illegal.

@@kalfac8671 He does refer to the wrong case, but that case was a part of the pattern of cases against Trump which were not legally supportable. Never give your allies a power that you won't be comfortable with your enemies having. Let's switch up the example. Let's posit a deep red county in Southern Texas near the border. An illegal alien comes through the border and kills someone in their home. The family sues Joe Biden and Mayorkas under a Texas law that allows suit against federal officials who breach their oaths to faithfully uphold the laws of the United States. That deep red Texas jury is going to award that family more than that deep blue jury in Connecticut awarded against Alex Jones. Sure, the result of the case will likely be overturned on appeal at some level, in whole or in part, but people will go around saying Joe Biden and Mayorkas are adjudicated murderers and they will spend hundreds of thousands of dollars in defense of the claims all just to get back to the status quo ante. Do you want your elected Dem leaders to have to face that sort of BS?
