Jonathan Turley: “After Bragg closes the prosecution’s case, the defense will make a standard motion for dismissal. Merchan should grant that motion. There has been no showing of an actual crime…Merchan has failed to protect the rights of the defendant from a baseless, politically motivated prosecution.”

JUST IN: New York appeals court just rejected Trump’s request to lift his gag order.
So Michael Cohen can wear a T-shirt, depicting Trump behind bars.
But Trump cannot speak or respond?
Seems fair...
Virtually every Legal Analyst and Scholar said yesterday, at the end of the day, THAT THERE IS NO CASE, AND THAT THIS WITCH HUNT SHOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN BROUGHT, AND SHOULD BE THROWN OUT NOW!!! WHY WASN’T THIS HOAX BROUGHT SEVEN YEARS AGO, INSTEAD OF IN THE MIDDLE OF MY WINNING CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENT — ELECTION INTERFERENCE. The problem is that this Judge, Merchan, is TOTALLY COMPROMISED, CONFLICTED, AND CORRUPT, MAKING BIG MONEY OFF OF THIS SCAM AND ITS OUTCOME. He can’t render a fair decision, too much is at stake for him and the Democrats. The Appellate Division should remove him immediately!

I'm in NY state court today to stand with @realDonaldTrump. This case is a tragedy for the American justice system. They still haven't identified a crime and it's been 4 weeks. This is ELECTION INTERFERENCE.
This sham trial is a politically motivated assault on the leading candidate for U.S. President, green lit by his political opponent, Joe Biden, and carried out at the highest levels of the White House and Department of Justice. Joe Biden’s former number #3 at the Department Justice, Matthew Colangelo, is now leading the prosecution effort for Bragg, who himself ran for office on the promise of going after Trump. It’s an insult to American democracy. No one has a clue what the alleged crime even is. The irony here is that the crime is supposedly about bad bookkeeping, but the real bookkeeping scandal is how to account for Judge Merchan’s own family members being paid millions of dollars by Democratic operatives. His entire legal theory depends on the ludicrous idea that Trump should have used campaign funds for a personal payment, yet if Trump had done that, they’d be prosecuting him for it - which is the ultimate proof that this is a politicized persecution. The American people will deliver the ultimate verdict in November: say NO to the weaponization of justice.
Jonathan Turley: “Can't imagine any competent lawyer would not be embarrassed by what has happened in this Courtroom…This day is truly going to go down as a day of infamy for the New York Legal System. Watching this unfold in that Courtroom as a lawyer is really deeply disturbing…They keep on referring to these documents. The documents don’t move the ball. The documents show an NDA and a payment that’s not in dispute. They are not unlawful. They are not unlawful as a Federal Campaign Contribution.”
We would be happy to have Joe Biden on, he has an invite. But I legit don’t think he’s capable of doing a 20 minute live interview with us. Not even kidding about this. I don’t think his handlers would permit it.
🔥🚨MAUI NATIVE WHO LOST HIS HOUSE ATTENDED THE TRUMP RALLY AND HAS A SPECIAL MESSAGE FOR THE CITIZENS OF MAUI:
“The only person who is going to make our island, to put it back together, Lahaina strong, is Donald Trump.”
The people of Maui have not forgotten how Joe Biden has treated them and they know Trump will be there for them!!
Watch & Share!! 🔥🔥👇🏼
Trump was 100% right here four years ago today when he said it was safe to reopen schools and kids weren’t in danger from covid. Thanks for sharing, Aaron, and reminding all of us that he said this back then.
🚨BREAKING: A fired up President Trump addresses the media after Michael Cohen testifies in the NYC trial, once again reading from press clippings quoting others, expertly side-stepping violating the gag order:
Alvin Bragg’s office literally deleted phone call records between Michael Cohen and Stormy Daniels.
Those records could’ve been exculpatory evidence.
The corruption is paramount.
Lots of good polls for Trump out this morning.
They mean nothing.
They want you to rest and take it easy.
Ignore the polls.
Register voters.
Find new low propensity voters.
Chase ballots.
Do the work.
Publicity-hungry men who declare themselves lesbians, go on TV to tell female athletes they 'need to be careful' about what they say, advocate for males' inclusion in women's sport and send women abuse for standing up for their rights aren't 'quietly getting on with their life.'
No, because Democrats will cheat. They'll smirk and say, "Vote early, vote often." I've heard politicians in RI say it "jokingly" a thousand times. Hey, if enough Democrats are told with a wink and a nod that cheating is okay, they'll do it and win.
Again.
The astonishing crowds supporting President Trump could never be matched by the current occupant in the Oval Office. Yet that fraud, Joseph Biden, is once again not bothering to campaign. He's even promised to raise taxes on the middle class, without the slightest worry. Feeling confident behind the millions of illegals he's imported, plus the proven grift of mail-in ballot harvesting, Joseph Biden knows this upcoming "election" is a slam dunk. He has even promised to import Palestinian "refugees," if nothing more than just as a gleeful slap in the face to American citizens and our most trusted ally in the Middle East, Israel. His puppet masters will once again cheat, and lie, and engage in crooked lawfare without the slightest regard to the constitution, the laws of the land, or the will of the people. It worked in 2020, and they are going to keep on doing it.
Until we don't tolerate it any more...
Nancy Pelosi shouts out & interrupts not once, but twice, as Mr. Winston Marshall made his case for the threat of the Elites vs. the People at Oxford.
I wish we had more formal debates like this in the United States.
