Comments for Polls: majority of Americans do not think Trump will get a fair trial in Manhattan UPDATE | Eastern North Carolina Now

Trump's a heck of a lot smarter than lame-brain Biden who much of the time does not seem to know where he is or what day it is. He is also a heck of a lot smarter that woke troll Little Bobbie.

The American people are also a heck of a lot smarter than the Democrats gave them credit for in comprehending what the Democrats are up to with their made up, trumped up charges. Man, does that term "trumped up charge" fit these Democrat political bushwhackings.

Nobody in their right mind would have any respect at all for the crooked New York courts.

You have the ability to write but lack the understanding that a reader can’t know your mind or may interpret your writing in an unintended way.

Your post attempts to link JB with Putin and Stalin. Indeed overly dramatic not even close to the truth. I, can read just fine. I just see through your BS

Dumbass Bob can't read. I said "Biden is America's PUTIN", not Stalin. The main connection to Stalin is that the Trump trials are sensationalized like the Stalin show trials.

In a political witch hunt like the one by Biden against Trump, levels of wealth are irrelevant and a red herring. The political prosecutions / persecutions against Trump are no different than the Stalin Show Trials and no different than Putin's trumped up criminal charges against a number of his political opponents. Biden is America's Putin and he is a big threat to our democracy.

Having myself practiced criminal law for decades, a number of oddities have struck me about this trial.

First was the gag order. Gag orders in trials are quite rare in the first place, but every other one I have ever seen or heard of applied to both sides of a case. In this case, Judge Merchan hit Trump with a gag order but did nothing to prevent the other side from any contact with the media or the public. As a result, there were witnesses for Bragg that were almost doing media tours while Trump was unable to respond. That double standard stuck out like a sore thumb and does not reflect favorably on the judge's objectivity or neutrality.

The other was what seemed to be a very rushed jury selection. I have been in much less high profile trials where jury selection took a couple of weeks. The higher the profile of a case, the longer the jury selection normally takes. I remember one capital murder trial in Martin County where I was lead counsel, where it took us two weeks to select only seven jurors, and at that point, the trial judge after hearing the prospective jurors answers for two weeks, on his own motion declared a mistrial and changed venue to a different county.
