I reiterate: As West pointed out so succinctly, it always makes me wonder how a person can see some things so clearly yet be blinded by the facts elsewhere:
- Many federal officials reviewed the Trump case and said there was no crime and declined it.
- The misdemeanor had long expired under the statute of limitations.
- There was no proof that Trump intended nor benefited from any election result.
- Settling out of court is a common and wholly legal process done all the time just to save time and money.
- The timing of it was solely the result of when Carroll came out of the woodwork after 40 years to press the charges which her own prior testimony contradicted.
- The payments to Trump's attorney to refund that given to Carroll were recorded as legal payments in Trump's private ledgers by his accountant.
- None of this was even legally required revealed to the FEC until after the election anyway, so the matter was moot.
- A novel legal theory was invented to resurrect this into a felony that had never been done before without legal foundation.
- Every step of the way, Judge Merchan acted with bias and prejudice against Trump including the fact that he even profited from Trump's conviction!
- The charge was broken up into 34 separate charges just to make it appear worse.
- All of this was done with the sole intent to cost Trump a lot of money and hopefully the election.
- In many cases, Trump's rights were violated and manipulated in court to further damage him.
- Finally, they even instructed the jury with a novel set of rules where each juror was free to invent their own separate reasons for guilt in order to assure a conviction.
- Now the bum Merchan is even squeezing in a sentencing hearing mere days before Trump takes office just so that democrats can feel they got something out of it.
