GREGG JARRETT: Bragg and Merchan's vindictive lawfare strategy against Trump failed. Can this go on till 2029?

New York Judge Juan Merchan abruptly canceled the scheduled November 26 sentencing of President-elect Donald Trump arising from his convictions successful May connected falsifying concern records. 

The judge’s bid connected Tuesday came as Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg notified the tribunal that his bureau does not reason further delays that could defer immoderate sentencing "until aft the extremity of the defendant’s upcoming statesmanlike term" successful 2029.  At the aforesaid time, the DA opposes immoderate effort to disregard the case.  

Merchan seems flummoxed.  He resembles Charlie Brown —wishy-washy.  His dithering and vacillation are exceeded lone by his disregard for the law. 

BRAGG CASE 'EFFECTIVELY OVER' IN 'MAJOR VICTORY,' TRUMP OFFICIALS SAY

He has had much than 4 months to see the pending defence question to disregard the lawsuit based connected the Supreme Court’s decision connected July 1 that Trump had wide and presumptive immunity from prosecution for authoritative acts arsenic president.   

At trial, Bragg wrongly relied connected grounds and documents that surely constituted "official acts."  It was captious to the prosecution’s lawsuit and tainted the jury.  It should ne'er person been countenanced by the justice who knew that the precocious tribunal was considering that precise issue.  

On that ground alone, the condemnation should beryllium overturned.  But the defence besides argues that Trump’s reelection merits dismissal due to the fact that some a president and a president-elect are constitutionally immune from any transgression process, either authorities oregon federal.          

What Merchan volition bash adjacent is simply a parlor game.  

BRAGG TOUTS DA OFFICE 'DID OUR JOB' AFTER TRUMP VERDICT: 'THE JURY HAS SPOKEN'

Much of his existent quandary is simply a effect of a prosecution that should ne'er person been brought.  Depending connected the judge’s eventual disposition, the substance could upwind its mode done the appellate courts for years to come.  By itself, the condemnation stands a precise bully accidental of being overturned.  

Judge Merchan seems flummoxed.  He resembles Charlie Brown —wishy-washy.  His dithering and vacillation are exceeded lone by his disregard for the law. 

Bragg’s lawsuit against Trump was ever incoherent, principally due to the fact that it is not a transgression to conceal a perfectly ineligible non-disclosure agreement.  But that did not deter him from whipping retired his container of magic tricks.  

In a screwball sleight of hand, the DA contorted the instrumentality by resurrecting dormant concern grounds misdemeanors and transmuting them into phantom predetermination felonies that helium falsely portrayed arsenic unduly influencing the 2016 statesmanlike contest.  

Never caput that the transactions happened respective months after the election.  Ignore the information that Bragg, arsenic a section prosecutor, had nary jurisdiction to enforce national run laws.  Forget that the payments to Stormy Daniels did not adjacent suffice arsenic run contributions nether immoderate statute oregon regulation.

A competent and nonsubjective justice would person tossed the Trump indictment successful the garbage the infinitesimal it was filed successful April 2023.  On its face, it was patently deficient, if not absurd, and a transparently politicized prosecution.    

But Bragg’s shameless legerdemain did not fuss Judge Juan Merchan successful the least.  He was each in.  His grant merrily went on with the hocus-pocus and joined the charade arsenic co-prosecutor during the ensuing trial.

Let’s review.  

TRUMP NAMING CABINET OFFICIALS AT 'WARP SPEED,' FAR HEAD OF FIRST TERM PACE

Forsaking ethical standards successful the Code of Judicial Conduct, Merchan refused to recuse himself contempt a disqualifying struggle of involvement involving his ain improper run donations and a girl who appeared to person a fiscal involvement successful the outcome.  

In a Draconian edict, the justice unconstitutionally silenced Trump with a gag order, thereby constraining the Republican nominee from defending himself successful the tribunal of nationalist sentiment successful beforehand of the 2024 election.    

Convicted perjurer Michael Cohen was allowed escaped rein to rotation his fantastic tales connected the witnesser stand.  Daniels gratuitously waxed successful raunchy item astir an alleged intersexual brushwood that had nary bearing whatsoever connected whether records were purportedly manipulated.  

There’s more.  The justice precluded the defence from calling an important adept witnesser to attest that nary predetermination laws were ever breached adjacent though Cohen —an adept connected nothing— was permitted to archer the assemblage that they were.   

Throughout the trial, a "Heinz 57 Variety" of irrelevant, immaterial and prejudicial grounds was deemed admissible by Merchan.  His anti-Trump bias was pronounced.  Reversible errors became routine.

The quintessential miscarriage of justness occurred erstwhile Merchan instructed the assemblage that it request not hold unanimously connected each constituent of the transgression offenses.  That aberrant ruling obliterated U.S. Supreme Court precedent.  

The inexorable effect is that Trump was deprived of the close to decently support himself from the alleged underlying crimes due to the fact that Bragg’s prosecutors ne'er afloat disclosed which ones were supposedly violated.  They stay hidden still, on with the precise ballot among jurors.    

This wasn’t a just trial.  It was a farce.  Trump’s constitutionally protected owed process rights were shredded connected a regular basis.      

As I noted successful a caller column, the 2024 statesmanlike predetermination result gives some authoritative and justice a convenient off-ramp to terminate this lawsuit earlier enduring the embarrassment of being overturned by higher courts.  

Their vindictive lawfare strategy failed astatine the ballot box.  Americans were not fooled by Democrats who weaponized the instrumentality for governmental gain.
