President Trump was again in court docket on Wednesday morning for closing arguments in Alvin Bragg’s ‘hush cash’ present trial in New York Metropolis.
Manhattan District Legal professional Alvin Bragg indicted Trump in April 2023 on 34 felony counts associated to ‘hush funds’ he made to Stormy Daniels.
Trump was accused of paying porn star Stormy Daniels, AKA, Stephanie Clifford, ‘hush funds’ by way of his then-attorney Michael Cohen in a scheme to silence her and cease the story about their alleged affair from being printed within the Nationwide Enquirer.
The jury deliberations started on Wednesday after Choose Merchan instructed them to decide on among the many three predicate crimes Trump supposedly dedicated.
Choose Merchan is permitting the jurors to decide on ONE of the three predicate crimes. Jurors do NOT must unanimously agree on which of the three predicate crimes Trump dedicated.
After all, this can make it simpler to convict Trump.
Listed below are the three predicate crimes through Mark Levin:
The grotesque trial charade will get even worse this morning.
The Stalinist clown choose directed the jury that they’ll select amongst three areas of crimes to convict the previous president:
1. Violations of federal election regulation (which nobody in that courtroom is aware of, and the choose particularly prevents Brad Smith from testifying about);
2. The falsification of enterprise data; and
3. Tax violations
After all, the problem for all the above is the requirement of a legal intent.
Moreover, the concept jurors can choose 1 of the three, and so they don’t must unanimously agree on which of the three, is one other stunning growth.
Furthermore, the federal marketing campaign violation has nonetheless not been outlined.

Trump DOJ official Jeffrey Clark stated mixing and matching crimes violates each precept of the Due Course of Clause.
This violates each precept of the Due Course of Clause and legal course of recognized to man. (Or of the Privileges & Immunities Clause in accordance with Justice Thomas’s view.)
1) Merchan’s strategy violates truthful discover. And it’s not remotely truthful discover to inform a legal defendant — the jury can choose and select its personal crime.
2) It violates jury unanimity. Choose Merchan must acquaint himself with Ramos v. Louisiania from the U.S. Supreme Courtroom. Perhaps he missed it however it’s 4 years previous at this level.
The problem at this level shouldn’t be whether or not Choose Merchan has jumped the shark however what number of sharks he’s jumped. It’s already previous the purpose of absurdity.
This violates each precept of the Due Course of Clause and legal course of recognized to man. (Or of the Privileges & Immunities Clause in accordance with Justice Thomas’s view.)

Mark Levin stated it’s time for Trump to hunt an emergency attraction to the US Supreme Courtroom based mostly on Bush v Gore:
In Bush v. Gore, america Supreme Courtroom interceded within the Florida Supreme Courtroom’s deliberations as a result of that Courtroom was altering the Florida voting system on the fly, thereby violating the EQUAL PROTECTION rights of the Florida voters; that’s, the state court docket was establishing new requirements for resolving a presidential election.
The Manhattan trial court docket has performed worse. It has taken up a case in which there’s unique FEDERAL JURISDICTION (involving the Federal Election Marketing campaign Act) even supposing the federal companies with authority over implementing federal marketing campaign legal guidelines, the Federal Election Fee and the Southern District of New York/U.S. legal professional’s workplace, declined to convey costs; the place the choose is conflicted (his daughter is elevating tens of thousands and thousands of {dollars} on behalf of her Democrat Occasion shoppers); the place collateral proof has been plentiful (and has no probative worth); the place the weather of the supposed federal offense have been by no means articulated by the state or the Courtroom; the imposition of a gag order on the defendant who’s the long run Republican nominee for president within the midst of the federal marketing campaign for president; and so forth. Furthermore, this state court docket may have simply prevented influencing and interfering with the federal presidential election merely by setting a later time for the case, if the court docket really believed it by some means had benefit. In any case, the state waited years to convey its case.
Subsequently, there’s not solely a federal constitutional equal safety violation, in that this state trial court docket has purposefully interposed itself into the federal presidential election with out authority or jurisdiction however has additionally violated the federal constitutionally protected due course of rights of the long run Republican nominee for president. Moreover, the voters are to find out the federal election end result with out the interference of a state court docket making an attempt to affect the consequence.
If President Trump is discovered responsible of any of the thirty-four costs, I’d strongly encourage his attorneys to hunt an emergency attraction to the U.S. Supreme Courtroom based mostly, a minimum of in vital half, on Bush v. Gore.
