It's as if the uniparty/deep state just indicted itself and then pleaded "not guilty" by reason of insanity.
New York state criminal court judge Merchan's jury instructions, celebrated by the uniparty as a historic achievement, leave no other conclusion. click here
First off, let's look at what Trump was just "convicted" of.
He was effectively convicted of thirty-four counts of conspiring with himself to promote his own election. I didn't know that was a felony. Not even in New York. But here we are.
Here is what the jury allegedly found Trump "guilty" of:
They found that he committed the state-law felony of "falsifying business records in the first degree." Thirty-four times over.
To be guilty of that, Trump must have falsified a business record with the intent to defraud, and that intent to defraud must have included an i ntent to commit "another crime". Merchan told the jury two things concerning this issue:
- That they did not need to find that, in falsifying business records, Trump intended to defraud any individual or group in particular, just as long as they found that he intended to defraud anyone at all, and
- That they did not need to find that Trump actually accomplished the commission of this "other crime" - just that he "intended" to accomplish it (in his own head).
This "other crime" that the jury must have found Trump "intended" to commit was a conspiracy to promote his own election "by unlawful means". The charge then lists the following items of possible "unlawful means" the jury was instructed to choose from:
- Violation of a federal election statute that prohibits excessive campaign contributions.
- Another falsification of some "other" business record (i.e. other than the one(s) he was found guilty on), or
- Any violation of any tax law, whether state or federal.
Merchan's charge further instructed the jury that their findings regarding which of these "unlawful means" of promoting his own election Trump was guilty of did not have to be unanimous.
And here is the biggest judicial fraud of them all:
THE JURORS WERE NOT GIVEN A COPY OF THE CHARGE TO READ FROM AS THEY DELIBERATED.
As lengthy (55 pages long) and as complex as this charge is, these jurors had to remember every element of each alleged crime and properly apply it to the facts as to each of the thirty-four alleged business record falsification, and they had to do this purely by memory.
They were allowed to ask the judge re-read this charge back to them as many times as they wanted or needed, but they were not allowed the basic courtesy of having the written charge in front of them as they deliberated whether each alleged count checked all the required boxes before they could find Trump guilty.
The key to remember is that the jury finding Trump guilty of "intending" to employ at least one of these "unlawful means" to promote his own election was an absolute requirement for a guilty verdict on each count.
If the jury had found that he did not employ any of these unlawful means, then Trump could not have been found guilty of that felony.
