Judge Could Jail Trump for Phony Crime

The crime family brought this case in order to crush Trump’s election prospects along with tens of millions of his supporters. They are now going to go for the kill. We will soon see how much they control or intimidate this jury. Conflicted Judge Juan Merchan has not released the jury instructions to the general public. District Attorney Bagg’s district and Trump’s attorneys disagreed over the order during a conference earlier this week. Jury guidelines are crucial to the choice. According to the discussion with Megyn Kelly below, Judge Merchan might send Donald Trump to prison. Geragos stated that a guilty plea and continual violations of the gag order almost always demand imprisonment.
Mark Levin is determined that the jury instructions will be incredibly harmful and prejudicial.
Judge Merchan has already agreed with Bragg that the jury is not required to settle on the predicate criminal activities that Trump has presumably done unanimously.
This is a criminal activity where the criminal activity is uncertain. Merchants inform the jury that they can each think of whatever crime they want to act as a predicate. They might think it’s fraud for falsifying files by putting the figure paid to Stormy under ‘legal expense.’ They could choose the predicate as a tax criminal offense. This crime syndicate judge can instruct the jury to convict even if they disagree with any specific crime. As ludicrous as that may seem, this will likely be the standard.
In other words, if some jurors think that Trump falsified service documents exclusively to cover a tax crime, while others think that he falsified company files solely to cover an election crime, the jury can still found guilty Trump on the felony-level falsifying documents charges, despite disagreeing on the predicate criminal activities.
Teacher Jonathan Turley has actually raised problems relating to particular choices made by Merchan, suggesting that Merchan might be unfairly influencing the results.
They are arguing some quite sweeping positions that they do not need to show illegal intent,” Turley states. “They suggest that things like unlawful methods, a vital term for affecting the election, can be pleased by less than the criminal requirement.
“And the defense, I believe, legitimately saying, whoa, you understand you’re going to convict someone on an essential element on a lower than criminal standard. And this is really the outcome of this sort of Frankenstein case. Bragg took this dead misdemeanor, zapped it back into life as a felony by sewing together various criminal activities, and now the government’s attempting to use that to state, yeah, we did that. Still, it also means we don’t have to show the full criminal requirement on all components.”
This will undoubtedly make finding the previous president guilty of the fabricated crime much easier.
According to Jonathan Turley, the judge allowed the jury to believe there was a project finance criminal offense here, and there isn’t. He hopes the jury understands they are getting played and there is no apparent criminal activity here.
Former United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York finds it lawless.
Prison?
Judge Merchan could remand Donald Trump to jail pending sentencing. Lawyer Geragos believes his finest hope is a hung jury. When a guilty decision is read, they will take his watch and belongings and cuff him in public. They will then take him in the back. Geragos thinks Trump will go to jail. They all understand it’s election interference. Geragos does believe it’s really vulnerable to appeal.
