Given what we know about what has been going on in Justice Juan Merchan’s Manhattan courtroom, including the preposterous, over-the-top bias of this judge for the prosecution and his overt antipathy for the defendant, Donald Trump, what explains his willing destruction of his own reputation as a judge?
Each and every legal scholar who has weighed in on the course of the trial, from Alan Dershowitz to Jonathan Turley and countless others, (with the exception of those paid by CNN and MSNBC) is gobsmacked by Merchan’s thoroughly unconstitutional rulings, gag orders, contempt charges, exclusion of practically every witness with relevant testimony for the defense, and his allowance of non-relevant

Juan, you give us the right verdict and your daughter's fund raising will go through the roof.
And if she wants to donate to your retirement fund, the IRS will be looking the other way.
Comprende, amigo?

The marriage of terrorist lover Obama and senile Joey has resulted in the Worst Presidency Ever.
They should both slide off into oblivion.

There is NO "what if ?" It is clear as day he is absolutely compromised and unfair in his rulings against the defense. He will be reversed no doubt, and if he is OK with ruining his rep for the likes of Joe Biden then so be it. He is there to further the persecution of Trump, justice and fairness are not even being considered. He should be removed from the bench, sanctioned and even disbarred, IMOHO.

Not many of the Columbian Military were not bought off by the Cartels, so it is, most likely, it is that way with Merchan's father who emigrated 40+/- years ago... With that background it's not difficult to see the apple not falling far from the tree.

It was never about a conviction in the first place. It was about keeping Trump tied up during campaign season. Certainly he has been bribed or blackmailed. He knows any conviction will be overturned for a hundred reasons and he will probably be disbarred. That doesn't matter because Trump can never get the election season back.
Too bad for the communists its backfiring.

Has anyone considered the possibility that he doesn't NEED to be bribed? Perhaps the model comes like this from the factory!

The apple never falls far from the horse. And maybe, he expects this to be reversed on appeal. Then he can tell his masters: hey, I did my best.

The judge is on a suicide march. It does not matter if he is making reversible error.
He wants to always be known as the guy who stuck it to Trump. Any errors will be addressed on appeal. Of course, by then it will be way too late. BTW...Fat Fani of GA and the crooked judge both won their elections...so it is obvious that some things never change. The GOP's are only good at complaining at the injustice of the system but only after it is too late to change anything.

Lots of people will do or say things for a cause. Lots of the cause these days is for the democrat party, which is detrimental to the American people. Today on TV, James Coney is telling people to vote for Joe Biden. So Comey is against the majority of the American people. So glad he was fired.

FTA: "Playing fair is not one of the left’s character traits."
An expression that doesn't seem to be popular right now: "The ends justify the means."
The Leftist, progressives, et. al., are True Believers. If you are absolutely convinced you are right and your opponent is completely wrong, then it is perfectly obvious that "the ends justify the means."
In the past, the True Believers believed in a religion that they thought justified their actions (and there's still a lot of that in today's world.) The Left are secular True Believers.

The sad reality is even if there's proof Judge Merchan is indeed compromised nothing will be done about it and he'll either retire or escape punishment

Merchan was compromised by his own leftist ideology, completely antithetical to American constitutional freedoms. Ideology, in particular leftist ideology tends to be a more corrupting influence than cash.
