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
