Biased Judge is Joe Bidens donor
During a recent interview on Breitbart News Daily, Trump lawyer Jesse Binnall raised concerns about potential bias in the New York criminal case against former President Donald Trump. Binnall highlighted the fact that New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan, overseeing the case, has donated to President Biden’s campaign. He emphasized the case’s reliance on testimony from Michael Cohen, who has admitted to perjury, casting doubt on the credibility of the allegations against Trump, which include 34 felonies related to alleged falsification of business records in connection with a payment to Stormy Daniels.
“That’s the kind of the best they have. That’s what they’re building their case around is someone who … has lied to courts and factually, this case is just absolutely baseless,” he said, reminding listeners that Judge Merchan is a Biden donor.
“Let’s remember that Judge Merchan is a Biden donor. Let’s remember that his family has a vested financial interest in this case, or … the fact that the case is ongoing. They’re going to try to drag this case out I think as long as possible in order to affect the presidential election,” Binnall said.
When questioned about New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan’s donations to Democrats in 2020, Trump lawyer Jesse Binnall asserted that such contributions raise ethical concerns and should prompt an investigation. Binnall emphasized that judges contributing to political parties is not permissible, indicating a potential breach of judicial ethics.
“There are very specific instances when judges are supposed to take themselves off cases,” he explained, noting that this is “most important” when there was either bias by the judge or the appearance of bias against a criminal defendant.
“And that person is entitled to a blank slate before the trial starts. And judge who can’t do that, the judge who comes into it with a preconceived notion about a defendant should recuse himself from the case,” he said, noting that this is a “remarkable” instance “where a judge donated to the candidate’s political opponent.”
“I’ve never known a judge before who’s made a political donation while he’s been on the bench. It is highly unusual for judges even to make political donations. But the fact that he did make a political donation, showing where his political allegiances lie, and then staying on a case that is having a huge impact on a presidential election is extremely improper,” he said.
“Not just because it shows that he’s biased, it shows his appearance of partiality, and we in this country have lived for about 250 years under the rule of law. These decisions are made based on law, not men, not based on individual people’s political beliefs as far as in our legal system, and that’s something that is going to be thrown completely into doubt now, because you have a judge who has decided that he wants to be on this case so badly … that he refused to recuse himself,” he continued, noting that it is good for the judge that the case is “ongoing” due to his daughter, as “the company that she worked for has raised millions and millions of dollars on” it.
“And so it’s something that his family member as a direct … moneyed interest in, and again, something that is, at the very least shows the appearance of impropriety here,” Binnall added

Alina Habba: They are prosecuting Trump because the can’t win the Elections
Alina Habba, a lawyer and spokesperson for former President Donald Trump, alleged that Democrats are targeting the Republican presidential nominee in court because they are unable to defeat him through electoral means.
“The fact that we have two courts, not one — criminal and civil — being used against one man because they cannot beat him in the polls is a disgrace to the American judicial system,” she said in remarks at the New York State Supreme Court Building in Manhattan after opening arguments in the hush money case.
Habba mentioned that she had recently attended another court session where Trump faced accusations of inflating his asset values to obtain advantageous loans, which he has since repaid. Initially, he was instructed to post a $454 million bond before appealing, but an appellate court later reduced it to $175 million. On Monday, New York Judge Arthur Engoron approved this bond, effectively preventing New York Attorney General Letitia James, a Democrat, from seizing his assets while the case is under appeal.
Habba accused Engoron of not understanding “basic principles of financing” and said he and James “had no idea what they were talking about.”
“I am sick of coming in front of the press and saying this, but you have to because you people need to understand what is going on. God forbid you put an accounting thing in for ‘legal counsel.’ … Because they’re afraid of 2024. And you know what? They should be because the American people are not stupid. They see what’s going on,” she said.

The Charade of Donald’s Trump Hush Money Trial Begins with All Jurors Selected
Opening statements in the Manhattan trial of ex-President Donald Trump’s hush money case are for Monday, following the selection of a full jury of 12 members and six alternates on Friday.
Trump took to social media the night before, posting on Truth Social:
“Four years ago I was a very successful and popular President of the United States and, in November, went into an Election where I received more votes, by far, than any sitting President in the history of our Country. Unfortunately, the Election were Rigged and Stolen, and our once great Country has quickly become a Nation In Serious Decline. Tomorrow morning I report to a New York Criminal Court for a Trial on, somewhat ironically, ELECTION INTERFERENCE, ruled over by Crooked Joe Biden’s DOJ, before a Corrupt and Highly Conflicted Judge, a failed Soros funded District Attorney who didn’t want to bring this case, which could have been brought eight years ago, but wasn’t, in an almost completely Democrat District. Virtually every Legal Scholar and Expert says that there is NO CASE, NO CRIME, NO NOTHING! IT IS A SHAM THAT SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN BROUGHT, EXCEPT TO TRY AND DAMAGE BIDEN’S POLITICAL OPPONENT, ME. SEE YOU TOMORROW MORNING!”
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, a Democrat, has brought forth 34 felony charges against Trump, accusing him of falsifying business records. These charges stem from an alleged attempt to conceal a $130,000 hush money payment, facilitated by his then-lawyer Michael Cohen, to adult actress Stormy Daniels prior to the 2016 election.
Bragg asserts that Trump’s classification of the payment as a legal fee was an effort to mask violations of campaign finance laws, elevating the offense to a felony rather than a mere regulatory infraction that might result in a fine. The jury, composed of seven men and five women, will ultimately determine the persuasiveness of this argument.
After a week-long selection process involving thorough questioning about potential biases and their ability to remain fair and impartial, the jurors and alternates were chosen. This process was crucial given the high-profile nature of the case, which also carries implications for the upcoming 2024 presidential election. With Trump currently leading in crucial swing states, the jury’s impartiality becomes all the more significant.
We are waiting to see where this charade goes

Republicans want to defend America and to ban the foreign aid help because Democrats wont do it
A GOP lawmaker aims to limit the presence of foreign flags in the House chamber following Democrats’ waving of the Ukrainian flag in celebration of the $60.84 billion aid legislation passage. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) rebuked the display, calling it a breach of decorum. Now, Republicans are drafting legislation to ban the display of foreign flags on the floor entirely.
“Watching American representatives pass out & wave Ukrainian flags in the United States House of Representatives chamber infuriated me,” Rep. Kat Cammack (R-FL) said in a post on X. “If there is one room in our country that should only have the American flag present, it is this room.”
The timing for bringing the legislation to the floor remains uncertain, but Cammack’s team is currently drafting the text. Representatives won’t reconvene until April 29. Some lawmakers expressed dismay over the Ukrainian flag display, leading to a tense moment when Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) urged Democrats to “put those damn flags away” during votes.
Johnson also admonished members, later issuing a statement referring to a “disturbance on the House floor.”
“In these extraordinary times, both in the House and globally, it’s crucial to maintain decorum,” Johnson remarked. “We should only wave one flag on the House floor, and I believe we all know which flag that is.”
Democrats defended their celebration, with some even engaging with pro-Ukrainian protesters post-vote. Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) expressed gratitude to many in the crowd for their support.
A list of possible co-sponsors for Cammack’s bill is not yet known, although a handful of House Republicans criticized Democrats for the move, indicating substantial support among rank-and-file GOP lawmakers.
“Shouldn’t have any other flag but the American flag on the House floor,” Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) said. “That’s ridiculous. … It’s inappropriate. It’s just lack of order.”
