    As do your appeals to other leftist prove nothing beyond an unwillingness to think for your self and a desire for the rest of us to quit thinking for ourselves as well.

    No doubt they will.... the jury selection has already showed the bias the jury pool has toward Trump... it is pretty bad when 50 people out of about 100 throw up their hand immediately and admit their hatred for Trump... no telling how many are wolves in sheep's clothing there are left... another prosecutor who ran a campaign on attacking one American citizen... A judge that clearly has a conflict of interest as, like the Bidens, has family members making money off of his position... the list goes on and on and will not be fooling any appellate court who actually follow the laws... not some made up interpretation as Bragg has dreamt up...

    Watch these lame arguments fail on appeal. Merchan is playing this right down the middle, and Trumpers can’t see it because this of this crybaby persecution complex. It’s getting worse!

    So what, a widely known and reviled con man and cult leader of a former president can never be put on trial for a crime because he's so widely known and reviled? Is he to be above the law because he has made sure everyone in the country has strong opinions about him one way or another?

    Are you talking about Biden or Trump?

    Apparently, it’s “unfair” to try him where the alleged crime took place because people there don’t like him. It would be fair to try him only where he got a lot of votes! And he should be allowed to an unlimited number of strikes for prospective jurors!

    Considering I said "former president," I should think that's clear.

    Also, I see your "Nothing screams democracy like bankrupting, imprisoning for life, and even disqualifying your political opponent." and raise you a "Lock her up!"

    The trial is underway. Guilty or not, this is the way we do it. Yay America!

    They have documented dirt on Biden and his family and no documented dirt on Trump, none they can prove.

    I don't take Trump's word for Gospel? That means I'm "not thinking for myself"? I've read the applicable law. You plainly haven't.

    Funny I don't recall having mention Trump as anything other than the accused.

    And I have read the charges which are plainly garbage and barely even tangentially related to reality.

    And if there were any rational justification for changing the venue, you'd have a point. There isn't. You don't.

    Yes. He sobbed, whined and cried for a change of venue. It was denied. Maybe you should familiarize yourself with when a change of venue is appropriate. Because I already know. And knew it was a loser.

    Welcome to the Donald Trump school of law . . . where literally no one could possibly ever be convicted of a crime. Ever. Just strike every juror and go scot-free. Murder? You are free to go. Rape? Free to go. Crash a plane into a building and kill thousands of people? No worries!

    The US Attorney, although as I have explained those were not his exact words. The precise words were more like (telling the judge) 'we are no longer pursuing any criminal activity', but hang on with your teeth as long as you can.

    You got a tiny bit correct. A presidential candidate can arrange to pat someone for their silence on specific matters (it's called a non disclosure agreement -- happens all the time), can pay for it personally or with campaign funds or with campaign funds contributed personally (under no limit), directly or through a third party, and they can certainly do it to help their campaign.

    Not entirely. But he can wave his hands (or not) and de-classify them, as opposed to a vice president like Biden. A president might claim a document personal that later proves to be government property. This is the equivalent to jay walking and never (just once that I know of) results in a predawn raid by armed FBI and DOJ agents.

    Paying for an NDA to protect his personal reputation out of a non-campaign account is the law. You can't charge your donors for your personal reputation. Even if you were right, and you aren't, Alvin Bragg is not the FEC. The FEC has had no problem with this payment. Your argument is a red herring and ridiculously ignorant of the law.
