COMMENT: Mr. Armstrong, From right here throughout the pond, the sentence of Donald Trump by this “appearing” choose, as you have got made clear, confirmed every part you have got been saying. It was much less of a judgment in opposition to Trump than a affirmation of how corrupt the American authorized system has develop into.
For greater than a 12 months, all we learn right here in Europe was how horrible Trump was and that there was no manner he can be elected president. This sentence in New York was extra of a sentence in opposition to the authorized system. This choose simply wished to name Trump a felon, and the conviction confirmed there was by no means a case to start with.
Thanks in your impartial evaluation. It’s extremely revered on this facet of the pond.

REPLY: Certainly, the sentencing of Trump was actually the ultimate verdict on the New York authorized system. The sentence with no jail or probation for the incoming president confirmed that this case was a joke and may have been dismissed. The pretend appearing choose Juan Merchan must be disbarred, for he solely introduced down the gavel on the New York authorized system as a complete, disgracing the US worldwide. NYC is now the laughing inventory of the world, demonstrating you higher not have any contact with anybody whose headquarters are in NYC. There may be large danger to do enterprise in NYC for the courts are probably the most corrupt within the nation.
Manhattan District Lawyer Alvin Bragg, Justices Arthur F. Engoron, and Juan Merchan have proven the world that the American authorized system is much too typically weaponized for political functions. How might a choose sentence Trump legally when BY legislation required one-year supervised launch? That will be, as president, he must report routinely, and if they didn’t like one thing, he can be immediately thrown in jail for the time period of supervised launch.
Technically, since Trump is a felon, Trump will stroll away from this trial and into the White Home in lower than two weeks, however the New York system will stroll into infamy after this present day. Merchan did this solely for the pleasure of the Democrats getting one thing – the label felon, which we’ll now hear each time.
The case has lengthy been denounced by each goal authorized observer I do know and have learn. Even a few of Trump’s critics have concluded this case was legally absurd. CNN’s senior authorized analyst Elie Honig denounced the case as legally flawed and unprecedented, after which Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., referred to as it whole “bullshit.”
What was probably the most outrageous facet of this case was the sheer conceitedness of NY and the way they don’t care they’re above the legislation. Alvan Bragg took this case that was primarily based on a non-crime and breathed life right into a long-dead misdemeanor. He breathed life into making his personal model of the legislation when solely the individuals make legal guidelines, crafting a novel and completely unconstitutional unfounded idea. By utilizing federal violations that had been by no means charged, denying a due course of proper to a trial, Bragg turned a misdemeanor into dozens of felonies and primarily tried Trump for federal offenses in a state courtroom. The mere undeniable fact that the appellate courtroom didn’t step in demonstrates that NYC can’t be trusted.
Then, this pretend choose Merchan allowed these expenses to be dropped at trial utilizing federal statutes in a state courtroom however engaged in a witchhunt to convict Trump for political functions. The liberal media cheered like they are saying the Romans had been nonetheless laughing when the Barbarians entered the town. The true verdict was the election since Trump nonetheless managed to drag in 3.6 million New York votes, or 42.7%, within the 2024 election. So many polls confirmed that many individuals noticed via this nonsense. The election itself was a verdict in opposition to this outrageous choose and had these individuals not engaged in all of this leag persecution, who is aware of, maybe Trump wouldn’t have received.
The unhappy a part of this whole weaponization of the legislation for political acquire is that it has been the darkish facet of the rule of legislation because the very beginning of civilization.
Even Edward Gibbon wrote concerning the ruthless emperor Commodus, who’s the featured emperor within the basic film Gladiator.
It’s Time for critical Authorized Reform to really cease this abuse of the rule of legislation.
Even Charles Dicken wrote in Bleak Home,
“undergo any improper that may be achieved you fairly than come right here” to a courtroom of legislation (Chancery).
