Comments for The ultimate result of the Trump trial decision | Eastern North Carolina Now

In a politicized assault through political prosecution, the more wealth and/or power a target has, the more likely they are to be prosecuted, the more unfair the proceedings will be, and the more severe the outcome will be. In communist judicial systems after the October revolution in Russia and after commmunist takeovers in eastern Europe, or after Casto's takeover of Cuba for example, the more wealthy or powerful you had been made you much more likely to be imprisoned or shot. In the political prosecutions of Trump, it is not so much his wealth that makes him a big target as it is his political power. Retired Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz was spot on when he said the Trump Manhattan trial was the most "Sovietized" he had ever seen in America, and Dershowitz is a Democrat who voted for Biden.

Sorry, bud, but level of wealth is an irrelevant factor in political prosecutions in politicized courts. One of the first targets of Putin's political prosecutions was a billionaire oil company oligarch who also owned some key TV stations that were not Putin-friendly. Putin had some fake charges trumped up, the oil billionaire jailed, and took away his TV stations and oil company through political prosecution. Biden has clearly learned a trick from Putin.

No, Bob, just some detail to explain what the law actually says and to refute your profoundly ignorant false statement about the law.

As a lawyer, let me correct Bob's gross misunderstanding of the law. In North Carolina, as in New York, if there are factors where a party cannot get a fair trial in the jurisdiction where charges are pending due to a tainted jury pool, there are two remedies. One is a change of venue, where the entire trial is moved to another jurisdiction with a fairer jury pool. The other is a special venire, where the trial itself is not moved, but jurors are brought in from another jurisdiction where there is a fairer jury pool.

Three times while I was actively practicing law I was involved in cases where the venue was changed. One was a capital murder case in Martin County. The trial judge initially denied our motion to change venue, but after a week of trying to seat a jury, he finally understood the issues we had raised in our motion, took up our motion again and changed venue to Pitt County. Another was a drug smuggling case in Hyde County, where a Wilmington attorney for a different defendant got in the case early and moved for a change of venue and it was moved to Martin County. When other defendants got local attorneys, we all considered that a very bad move, and we all moved to have venue returned to Hyde County, which the court did. The third was a civil case originally filed in Duplin County, on which venue was changed on my motion to Beaufort County.

My late law partner John Wilkinson was hired by the victim's family as a private prosecutor in the notorious Joan Little murder case here in Beaufort County. As private prosecutor, he could only consult and advise the District Attorney's office. In that case, venue was changed on the defendant's motion to Wake County. That was very adverse to the prosecution, but our local Democrat DA, William Griffin went along with it for political reasons. The laws on change of venue required the case be sent to either another county in the same judicial district or a district that bordered our district. Wake County did not qualify as a county to which venue should have been changed.

Probably the most famous trial that ever happened in Beaufort County, the George Washington Carawan murder case involved a crime that actually happened in Hyde County. The venue was changed to Beaufort County because of fears he could not get a fair trial in Hyde where the murder happened.

I do not think I have ever seen a case where justice cried out for a change of venue or special venire more than the Manhattan case against Trump.

When a jury in a highly political case is drawn from a place where only 5% voted for the candidate who is on trial, that candidate is not going to get a fair jury, or one that is of his peers. That is the very reason this case was brought by the Democrats in Manhattan. The legal system has a remedy for that, and it is called a change of venue, which President Trump's attorneys made a motion to get, but it was denied by political-hack-in-a-black-robe Juan Merchan.

There is no equivalence between the phony distortions of the law engineered to charge Trump and the actual straight forward law used to charge Hunter Biden. The Biden DOJ prosecutors tried to do a sweetheart deal to give Hunter a slap on the wrist, but fortunately in the federal system, random selection put an honest judge on the bench who refused to go along with it. Now the Biden DOJ is having to prosecute Hunter, which they really don't want to do. Look for them to do everything possible to throw the case.

Hunter Biden is being tried in Delaware, which his father won by a wide margin, so he will not have a politically hostile jury pool. Indeed, his odds of finding one juror to create a hung jury for political reasons are probably pretty good.

Kangaroo court, like in Manhattan, is where democracy goes to die. When a political movement politicizes the courts that way, no one's rights are safe.

If Marxist nutjob Little Bobbie thinks Michael Cohen was telling the truth, then I have a bridge in Brooklyn I would like to sell him. Cohen was caught in so many lies, but the Democrat jury still played politics with the case.

Whether or not the corrupt Democrat operative Juan Merchan puts Trump in jail or not depends on what instructions he is given by his Biden regime political handlers. Undoubtedly, they are seeing their political ploy backfire based on polling and contributions. Will they double down by jailing him or will they beat as much of a retreat as they can? That calculation is now going on among the puppetmasters behind the Biden regime, probably both in Davos and in Washington, DC.

"Build Back Better" Biden is 1000% in on the globalist agenda, while President Trump represents the biggest threat to the globalist agenda.

Just as the Biden insiders and the globalists set up January 6 for their own political purposes with their instigators and their deliberately lax security, whether they instigate a "civil war" will depend on whether it suits their politial purposes, like maybe an excuse taking up privately owned guns.

I'll say it again for everyone in the back of the room:

Trump isn't going to prison, there isn't going to a "Civil War" and Illuminati members don't go to jail.

Trump's going to be publicly reinstalled in November as that has been the plan the whole time. For every problem THEY create, THEY manufacture a solution to keep the cycle going unless smart people begin pointing out that the emperor ain't got no clothes on.

Don't know what you classify as "MAGA" but a couple of prominent well respected Democrat law professors, Jonathan Turley and Alan Dershowitz, have regularly pointed out that the "crimes" charged against Trump are made up by the prosecutors and have never been charged to anyone not named Trump. They have also pointed out that non disclosure agreements and paying for them is legal in all 50 states.

You are so stupid, Bobbie, that you probably thought the charges Putin manipulated against Aleksi Navalny were legitimate, too.

Mark Levin, a lawyer and former Justice Department official in the Reagan administration, made a suggestion that I have not seen elsewhere. That is for conservative state Attorneys General of conservative states to bring a lawsuit against the state of New York for election interference. That would be a case in the original jurisdiction of the US Supreme Court so they could not duck hearing it and it would bring the issue before them NOW rather than waiting until it went through New York's appellate process. It would also circumvent the Coward Caucus on the court led by John Roberts, who might try to duck a common law writ, which they would have to approve even hearing it. The common law writ is the avenue most have been suggesting to try to get before the Supreme Court. It was how the court heard Bush v. Gore. I think Levin has a great idea, and I suspect there are a number of state AG's who would be happy to go forward with it.

The term banana republic keeps being used. I don't think it means what you think it means. In a BR, a guy like trump never gets convicted of anything. In America, no one is above the law.
Bang a porn star, then falsify business records to shut her up because you are married and running for office, apparently is a crime in NY. It's the falsifying of the records that hung him up. How can the lessons of Richard Nixon be forgotten? It's not the crime, it's the cover up.
See, you got it exactly backwards.

Trump isn't going to jail and there isn't going to be "civil war". This is all a dog and pony show meant to rile up the less informed.

Illuminati don't go to prison, bruh.
