'The verdict is in. ... The New York legal system has rendered it against itself.'
Even anti-Trumpers expressed outrage over President-elect Donald Trump ’s conviction on 34 felony counts at the end of a Soviet-style show trial in New York City last May.’s Rich Lowry, certainly no fan of the former and future president, spoke for most of us at the time. He: “The charges were rigged, the prosecution’s presentation of the case was rigged, the judge’s management of the case was rigged, the gag order was rigged, and the instructions to the jury were rigged.
George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley weighed in on Fox News following the sentencing . He noted that Merchan’s choice of an unconditional discharge “reflects the lack of seriousness in the case” and revealed “the massive void within this case.”DA Bragg took a long-dead misdemeanor and zapped it back into life with a novel and unfounded theory.
Turley argued that this case is more an indictment of the New York legal system than it is of Trump: He wrote that, “Merchan has brought down the gavel on the New York legal system as a whole.” The daily images of a former and then-potentially future U.S. president defending himself in a courtroom on bogus charges ran contrary to most Americans’ sense of fairness.

Georgia Court Removes DA from Trump Election Case, Leaving Prosecution UncertainA state appeals court in Georgia has removed Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis from the election interference case against Donald Trump and others. The court did not dismiss the indictment, but the future of the prosecution is uncertain. The Prosecuting Attorneys’ Council of Georgia will now need to appoint a new prosecutor to take over the case. The ruling means a trial against Trump is unlikely to proceed while he is president, but 14 other defendants still face charges.
