New York Court Delays Bungled Trump Convictions - Liberty Nation News

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

40% : With Trump restored as president of the United States, New York Judge Juan Merchan has been doubly hushed.
37% : Since many perceived the purpose of the controversial trial to be a way to discredit a political candidate in an election season, it now seems ironic that the court instead discredited itself in its zeal and likely helped Trump with its aggressive lawfare tactics.
35% : Here's the tortured logic: The New York State Supreme Court in Manhattan tried to convict Trump for actions before he was president using evidence after he had become president that can't be used against any president (at any time), but now it doesn't matter because he is again president and can't be incarcerated for anything - unless first impeached and then removed from office by a conviction in the Senate.
30% : The prosecution had introduced, and Merchan admitted, evidence that clearly concerned official acts by Trump when he was president - to convict him for alleged conduct that occurred in 2016, before he was POTUS.
25% : New York's case against Trump fell apart the day the US Supreme Court agreed with defense counsel that a president could not be criminally prosecuted for "official acts."
23% : As explained in Liberty Nation News on July 3:"Had the court waited as requested or excluded official-acts evidence upon which Trump's defense team now avers the DANY [District Attorney New York] 'placed highly prejudicial emphasis,' the conviction of Trump on 34 felony counts would be untainted.
23% : Everybody clear?The case against Trump for falsifying business records related to hush money payments was mangled by partisan acrimony and improper evidentiary admissions.
20% : Ironically, Merchan issued repeated gag orders against Trump to hush up his criticisms of the judge's apparent partisan bias.
