Juan Merchan, the judge overseeing former President Donald Trump's criminal trial in New York City, notified the 45th president's defense attorney and a Manhattan prosecutor that there's been another twist — a potentially significant one — following the May 30 verdict finding Trump guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records.

They use the term "Cousin of a Trump Juror"....WRONG. Maybe a "cousin of a Bragg Juror", but if even ONE of the Jurors was a Trump Juror, the case would have never resulted in "Guilty" verdicts.

Interesting. Are the NYC Demonrats realizing that their "conviction" is helping Trump and trying to find some way to weasel out of it?

Hmmmm...very interesting thought #4 brings forward. Maybe the judge and prosecution fear a jail sentence is a peril for them. This makes for a convenient out.

Considering President Trump, as of Tuesday, had raised over $300 million in just 4 days, I can't help but wonder if they're trying to figure out some way out of the verdict. A verdict that's only helped Trump and Republicans overall. Brought significant numbers of new contributors to the cause, wooed Independents who are seeing an unjust trial, helped illustrate the unjust system many African-Americans have complained about for decades, etc... And energized the Republican base. I'm also wondering about how Colangelo obtainted the job. How does someone who's the 3rd ranking member at the DOJ step down to take a prosecutor job for Alvin Bragg? Did they go through the normal public employee hiring processes? After all, Garland mentioned in testimony in Congress the other day, he presumed he applied for the job. Which is almost laughable when you consider Colangelo didn't have the courtesy to mention anything to the boss about wanting to leave and take a lower level position elsewhere.

This is way too weird for me. Coincidence that it comes out on a Friday, and after the script is written for the evening news. In the offcenter political world we inhabit, it could be a Hail Mary pass. It reminds me of scenes from the movie Wag the Dog. Too bizarre. Too perfect to be questioned. There’s room for people to doubt, and I count myself as one of them. It remains to be seen whether or not it will be found to be the truth, or just another in a series of Rorschach tests of who is on what side. As Pontus Pilate said to Jesus, “What is truth?”

A mistrial and a "do-over" would serve the interests of the lawfare gang in a number of ways (e.g., tying Trump up in court again as the campaign heats up.) It would also allow Merchan to avoid examination of his sketchy trial conduct by a higher court.

Not sure any juror could be this stupid, and not sure why this took so long to be exposed. As others have pointed out, a mistrial helps the prosecution more than the defense at this point, so this could be Plan B after Plan A failed.

the jury was not sequestered precisely so that they could be pressured into their verdict. Not surprised.

Acollege degree used to be a reliable passport to a better-paying career. To employers it signaled a level of knowledge and intellectual skills not shared by someone without a degree. That's why students and parents have been willing to pay increasingly higher tuition, taking out student loans and second mortgages before the graduates earn a dime. But what if employers lose trust in a college degree?

The disturbing liaisons between Hunter Biden and a multitude of individuals allegedly linked to sex-trafficking rings have been known for quite a while. Jim Hoft wrote about that 3 years ago almost to the day, in a groundbreaking article based on material from Hunter’s ‘Laptop from Hell’. But now, the British Daily Mail is reporting on a new, previously unreported upon document that further demonstrate how shady money from overseas ended up in the hands and bank accounts of people involved in (or victims of) sex trafficking. Wells Fargo Financial Crime Investigators (FCI) suspected Joe Biden’s son was associated with a ‘sex trafficking ring’ and ‘falsified’ checks to pay prostitutes.

Critical information for investigating the Muskegon Michigan voter fraud in 2020 is being illegally withheld from public review. Investigating systemic voter fraud in the 2020 election in Muskegon requires examining the 8,000-12,000 likely-fraudulent voter applications submitted by Biden campaign-financed GBI Strategies in October 2020, but those files have been withheld from public review on the argument that they are part of an ‘ongoing investigation’ by law enforcement.

The discovery of a stash of cocaine in the White House became public because a hazmat team was sent in on the possibility that the white powdery substance might have been anthrax or some other deadly terror weapon. Were it not for the hazmat team’s highly visible and noteworthy arrival, I believe it is quite possible that the matter would have been handled with the discretion for which the Secret Service is famous (and notorious), protecting the privacy of the First Family. Now that we know about it, there are multiple signs that a coverup is underway to protect someone whom the Secret Service guards.

During his joint CNN interview with Vice President Kamala Harris Thursday evening, Minnesota governor Tim Walz brushed aside criticisms that he has misrepresented his military service, telling network host Dana Bash that his “grammar is not always correct” but that his “record speaks for itself.” In the middle of Thursday’s interview, Bash asked Walz to address comments he made in a 2018 campaign clip during which he said the country should restrict ownership of the types of weapons that “I carried in war” – a misleading statement given he deployed to Italy in 2003 but never served in a combat zone. “I spent 25 years in the Army and I hunt,”

Right now, people in Germany can carry knives up to 4.7 inches long. The law will be modified so that they can only carry knives up to 2.4 inches long. No one appears to have considered the possibility that Muslim terrorists on the way to killing as many infidels as possible might violate the law and carry a concealed knife of 4 inches or longer.

The narrative engineering within the interview, which includes soft guidance by Dana Bash, is transparent and openly visible. The backlash against CNN is also very visible in all social media examples where the interview is being highlighted. To present the post-broadcast coverage, CNN has uploaded the interview in three segments. You will find them below. Kamala Harris’ nasal voice has always been painful;

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s VP pick, Nicole Shanahan, has launched a direct assault on the epidemic plaguing the political landscape: Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS). The ad opens with a stark question: “Are you or your loved ones suffering from illnesses such as TDS?” It paints a vivid picture of individuals who have become so consumed by their hatred for Trump that they are willing to overlook critical issues facing the country, including skyrocketing inflation, rampant illegal immigration, and corporate corruption. The message is clear: this obsession with Trump has turned rational discourse into an echo chamber of anger and denial. The ad suggests that many Americans are more focused on vilifying Trump
