Today’s quote comes to us from former and about-to-be current President Donald Trump. It is in the form of a post on his “truth social” website, and refers to the fact that Judge juan merchan will sentence him on September 10th – a week and a half before he takes office – for a “crime” that never existed until Manhattan DA alvin bragg created it from thin air, and Judge juan merchan – a joke of a jurist who, due to his personal political leanings (including $$ contributions) and daughter’s direct involvement in Mr. Trump’s situation should have recused himself – then made clearly one-sided rulings from the bench that finished bragg’s hit job.
Says Trump:
Every Legal Scholar and Pundit, including the highly respected, and sadly recently passed, David Rivkin, as well as Jonathan Turley, Elie Honig, Andy McCarthy, Alan Dershowitz, Gregg Jarrett, Elizabeth Price Foley, Katie and Andy Cherkasky, Paul Ingrassia, and many others, have unequivocally stated that the Manhattan D.A.’s Witch Hunt is a nonexistent case, which is not only barred by the Statute of Limitations but, on the merits, should never have been brought. This illegitimate political attack is nothing but a Rigged Charade. “Acting” Justice Merchan, who is a radical partisan, just issued another order that is knowingly unlawful, goes against our Constitution and, if allowed to stand, would be the end of the Presidency as we know it. Merchan has so little respect for the Constitution that he is keeping in place an illegal gag order on me, your President and President Elect, just so I cannot expose his and his family’s disqualifying and illegal conflicts. I am the only Political Opponent in American History not allowed to defend myself – A despicable First Amendment Violation! …
Donald Trump, of course, exaggerates when he says that “every legal scholar and pundit” agrees with his position. Exaggeration and bloviation is in his DNA.
But that aside, pretty much everything he says here is true. This case is a pathetic joke, built from events beyond the statute of limitations, and connected to federal law which neither the politicized bragg nor the compromised merchan have no jurisdiction over. The one and only reason it was created from thin air is to “get” Trump. And it is is not the only one – a fact which will be discussed in future blogs.
Donald Trump wins Quote Of The Day honors for doing nothing other than saying what any fair-minded person, not overcome with so much Trump hatred that it obscures reality – knows as well as he does.
