The judge in the Stormy Daniels case against Donald Trump set a date to begin the “hush money” trial in the middle of the campaign season. Donald Trump threw his hands up in frustration as the judge set March 25, 2024 as the date. The presidential election will take place in November.
Merchan’s daughter is a Democrat operative, and he has donated to the shadowy progressive group, Act Blue.
Trump, appearing by video conference at a pretrial hearing in the hush-money case, allegedly glared at the camera as New York Judge Juan Manuel Merchan advised him to cancel all other obligations for the duration of the trial, which could last for several weeks.
He obviously wouldn’t be able to campaign.
Trump sat with his arms folded for the remainder of the hearing.
Trump had pleaded not guilty last month to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records at his family company, the Trump Organization.
Mr. Trump has criticized this judge publicly.
Trump faces 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to payments his company made to his former lawyer, Michael Cohen. Prosecutors say he was compensating Cohen for orchestrating hush money payments during the 2016 campaign to bury allegations of extramarital sexual encounters. He denies that he had an extramarital affair.
Trump did not violate any campaign finance laws. There is no crime.
Merchan´s protective order bars Trump and his lawyers from disseminating evidence to third parties or posting it to social media, and it requires that certain sensitive material shared by prosecutors be kept only by Trump´s lawyers, not Trump himself.
Merchan claims it’s not a gag order.
I suspect this will blow up in Democrat’s Faces!
The fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth amendments of the United States Constitution all deal with the rights of people accused or convicted of crimes. These amendments give people the right to a fair trial, forbid cruel and unusual punishment, and require a trial to happen quickly.
What exactly does it mean that everyone has a constitutional right to a speedy trial in the United States? How do judges determine whether or not a prosecution happened quickly enough? People often win or lose cases based on the argument that they were not given a speedy trial.
The reason for the delay matters as much as the length of the delay. If the trial was delayed on unreasonable grounds, the case may be thrown out.
Where in the Constitution is the Right to a Quick Trial Stipulated?
The sixth amendment explicitly states that a trial has to happen quickly. It says that “the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury.” As a trial cannot be unreasonably delayed, charges may have to be dropped if a suspect argues that their sixth amendment rights were violated.
The 6th amendment is contained within the Bill of Rights rather than the original constitution. It is a series of amendments that protect people from the state, including unjust laws. The Bill of Rights (1791) includes some of the most famous elements of the constitution, including freedom of speech and the right to bear arms.

I would think it would be justified for a case to be presented before the Supreme Court that challenges the judge’s impartiality, his denial of President Trump’s right to a speedy trial and actually challenge the case itself because no law was broken.
It seems unlikely that primary voters will switch to DeSantis over a political trial. I expect the reverse to happen. The system is making Trump supporters rigid in their support.
I don’t think it is a wild prediction to state that DeSantis is going to drop in the polls.
People see that this prosecution, and the DeSantis candidacy, which became obvious a few months ago, are related events. The RINO party is trying to feed us a Trump-like candidate who is really much different. It is another bait and switch.
Corrupt judicial POS
Corrupt justice is no justice
While this is happening , Joe and Hunter Biden are counting their million$ and are laughing so hard they are almost peeing their pants.
While all this is happening, Democrats and their Media are assuring the brainwashed sheep that , and I quote ; ” no one is above the law ! “
