Turley: Judge "Hand-Picked" to Oversee Trump Persecution Illegally Donated to Biden and the Democrats

Whoops!

Whoopsie!


George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said Monday that the judge in the Trump business records trial violated ethics rules with his donation to President Joe Biden's 2020 election campaign, and questioned why he was presiding over the case at all.

Merchan made a $15 donation to Biden's election campaign in 2020, a $10 donation to a group called "Stop Republicans" and a $10 donation to a "Progressive Turnout Project," according to data from the Federal Election Commission (FEC). Turley said that the small size of the donation was irrelevant.

"It is very clear, they say you can't make political contributions and he did," Turley said on "Fox and Friends" after co-host Ainsley Earhardt mentioned the donations. "And the fact it is 'de minimus' or small, really, I think, misses the point. You make donations to show your support, that is what that $15 did."

"What's also concerning for many is that Merchan was not randomly selected, he was hand-picked as the judge for this case, and many of us don't understand it," Turley continued. "You have a judge who is donor to the president, whose daughter is a major Democratic operative, you would think this would be an easy call, there are plenty of other judges."

...

"He's not going to be held accountable to the bar association, but this is one of the many aspects of this trial that are troubling to those who view this as the weaponization of the system," Turley said.

Trump is making lemonade out of being stuck in NY -- he's holding a rally in the Bronx this Thursday evening.

Former President Donald Trump is set to hold his first major rally in his native state of New York since his 2016 White House bid, following a record-breaking event in Wildwood, New Jersey. The rally is scheduled for May 23rd in the South Bronx.


The rally will take place at 6 p.m. in Crotona Park, with Trump expected to address New York's economy, crime rate, and migrant crisis.

This is Trump's first rally in his birth state since a 2016 event in Buffalo.

The Trump campaign has criticized President Biden's policies, blaming them for increases in murder and assault rates in New York, as well as a surge in the cost of goods.

There were a couple of late updates to the earlier post about Cohen's testimony. I'll repost that stuff.


...Before the break, Cohen was forced to lay out how his income is now based almost entirely on attacking Trump ...

...Cohen admits that he worked for three months to pitch his reality show "The Fixer." He also said that he is considering a third book. Cohen admits that he is thinking of running for Congress and that he has great name recognition...

...Cohen is fighting question to admit that his name recognition is due to attacking Trump. He insists it is because of "his journey." He then admitted that the "journey" was daily attacks on Trump. Cohen makes it sound like he was Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton on a storied journey

...Blanche is basically portraying Cohen as still a grifter who has cashed in on his attacking his former [client]...

It's the graft journey, not the grift destination.

If there is a more succinct, plain-as-the-nose-on-your-face statement of utter Beltway blindness, I have yet to see it.

If Trump is allowed to 'win' the 'election,' any judicial nominee who is approved by any bar association should automatically be tossed out of consideration.

Nearsider! Always a pleasure to see you!

I've said before that Trump being acquitted would be bad, as (like you say) it would give him and the gutless, rotten GOP an opportunity to whine, "See? The system works! Truth always wins!" and Teh Donald would have no impetus to smash the whole system to atoms.

Trump believes in the rule of law. That is to his credit. It is also the bedrock of his blindness.

Word out today, even some news agencies are now reporting it, is that Marchan has be given an official letter of warning by the Appellate court after the recent gag order appeal - he's subject of an investigation, either follow the lower court judicial rules from here on out or face bench removal via the NYS judicial review board...

They let him have his gag order, which I was surprised that they did so because I heard they didn't want to (may have been face saving), but this letter is really bad if true...this guy is basically toast as a jurist from now on.

77 Repost from this morning.

Trump is coming to the South Bronx this Thursday and I couldn't be more jazzed. I grew up in AOC's district as an Urban Redneck and I've been in the southwest Mott Haven section for five years after raising kids in leafy Westchester.

This could be Trump's most momentous rally yet as he's going after Blacks and Hispanics nationwide in his fight to rebrand the R party away from the Country Club. What better platform for the Gavone from Queens than the Borough Beautiful, still branded as the epitome of urban blight and despair.

For all you NYC haters, know that it's Manhattanites that you really hate. You'd be in deplorable company with many of the BBQ bridge and tunnel crowd of all colors and stripes, and then there's Staten Island. Many hard-working, family-oriented.

So here's my prediction. Trump knows that AG Bragg and Judge Merchan are plotting to win a Kangaroo Kourt Konviction and then haul him away to Rikers. For the optics.

So Trump will use his Bronx rally to defy the gag order and force their hand to jail him the day after. For the optics.

He is being charged with a violation of federal campaign finance law. Thye don't say it, because 1) this is a state court and can't enforce a federal law 2) the feds declined to prosecute that "violation."

So, it is all make believe pretend. Pretend the feds charged him, and pretend he was found guilty. Then we can charge this minor potential misdemeanor as a felony.

I couldn't believe it when he said that Trump should have accepted the results of the 2020 election, and that the Democrats should have accepted the results of the 2016 election, like when Pelosi said that it was "hijacked".

And like a child that cannot help themselves, she nodded like a simpleton who can't understand the point and insisted "it was".

You are correct. The prosecutors have not charged Trump with any crime except felony falsification of business records. That is normally a misdemeanor in NY unless it is in support of another crime.

240 Reports over the weekend that Rep Dan Goldman, who coached Cohen for this trial, has been sending checks to the home of Judge Merchan daughter in Virginia under the name "Authentic Campaign", not to the business she works for in Chicago, "Authentic Campaigns" (note the plural form) according to FEC filings.

246 220 This sounds like an Act Blue scam. There are wealthy Dem donors that avoid campaign contribution limits by making small donations under the names of people that have donated in the past but are not now active donors. Some people have had thousands of donations made under their names.

249 You are correct. The prosecutors have not charged Trump with any crime except felony falsification of business records. That is normally a misdemeanor in NY unless it is in support of another crime. The prosecutor has alluded in court that Trump did this in violation of campaign finance laws but he has not charged him with that specific crime.
Posted by: Mister Scott (Formerly GWS) at May 20, 2024 03:20 PM (QNSds)

IIRC, the statute of limitations expired for the misdemeanor charges and the federal charge is specious because the alleged "payoff" happened after the 2016 election.

Posted by: mrp at May 20, 2024 03:24 PM (rj6Yv)

250 Back before Merchan gagged Trump, there was relatively little out there about his and his daughter's transparent corruption. Just some complaints by Trump.

=============
And, the NY Constitution has a requirement that prosecutors must allege a violation of NY law in a charge, and not a law of any other jurisdiction. Very specific language, iirc.

That means this whole "felony" allegation was a manufactured mess from the very beginning. Bragg knows with absolute certainty Trump wins on appeal, but the political value to Biden of a jury verdict is what this was about from the git-go.

Posted by: Mister Scott (Formerly GWS) at May 20, 2024 03:20 PM (QNSds)

It's not even crime now - even if they could show an underlying crime, the misdemeanor has since its run its course...if the jury convicts, what are the sentencing guidelines here? The misdemeanor has no jail time, but a federal felony campaign crime would, but Merchan has no jurisdiction to impose it. To sentence him to a crime that Merchan is not allowed to would constitute a federal crime all by itself...does he chance it?

Merchan is betting on a sweet MSNBC legal analyst gig out of this, and he could care less about being a NYS lower court jurist obviously...so, make his wish come true.

The NYS judicial review board should bench remove him and make his "I love myself!" dreams come true...

NYC typically has very low turnout, so a good GOTV effort could potentially swamp it. Of course, that assumes they count what's cast, which is dubious.

281 Judge Merchan to [former Cohen Lawyer] Robert Costello: "Are you staring me down?"

Judge Juan Merchan has asked to "take a minute" and told the jury to step out.

"Mr. Costello you're to remain seated," the judge told witness in a raised voice.

After another sustained objection, witness Robert Costello rolled his eyes and let out an audible sigh side, glancing at Merchan.

"I want to discuss proper decorum in my courtroom," the judge says.

Merchan also said, "You don't give me a side eye and you don't roll your eyes."

"When there’s a witness on the stand, if you don’t like my ruling, you don’t say 'jeez,' you don’t say strike it," Merchan says.

Then Costello held a long glare at the judge.
