A kangaroo court is an unauthorized, unofficial court, the sole purpose of which is to provide the image of a fair legal process. In actuality, the fate of the accused is actually decided in advance, with no consideration being made as to the fairness of the situation. Kangaroo courts are typically associated with groups that practice their own brand of justice, which is outside of the formal judicial process. To explore this concept, consider the following kangaroo court definition

The judge who presided over Donald Trump’s fraud case closed off many avenues of appeal, leaving him few ways to escape his felony conviction

Real estate investor Grant Cardone appeared on the fox Business Network this week following the Trump verdict and said that it is going to have far reaching effects on the city’s economy. He suggested that nobody (including him) wants to do business in New York City anymore because they no longer trust the political and legal system there. Cardone says that the people who are invested in his company wouldn’t even allow him to do business there.

What did the Democrats just do to America? In the sham trial, the activist judge, according to a lawyer in the courtroom, covered his mouth to mask his laugh during the reading of the verdict. The smiling Biden DOJ prosecutor who parachuted into New York to get Trump on the bizarre Letitia James victimless value-inflation case with the AG's office then hopped over to Manhattan to prosecute Trump based on the plot of a book written by a disgruntled DA who quit and then was rehired to help manage the case: a district attorney, who, like the attorney general, got...

President Joe Biden flashed a smug, toothy grin after a reporter asked him about former President Donald Trump considering himself a political prisoner at the hands of Biden and his cronies. “Can you tell us, sir — Donald Trump refers himself as a political prisoner and blames you directly. What’s your response to that, sir?” a reporter asked Biden after the 81-year-old concluded his remarks on Friday in which he defended the conviction of Trump. The reporter asked the question as Biden began to walk away after concluding his address. But after the question was posed, Biden stopped in his...

Noted attorney Alan Dershowitz said on Thursday that he doubts a New York appellate court will overturn former President Donald Trump’s conviction in his Manhattan trial. …he believes appellate judges will be reluctant to overturn the jury’s decision because they might be biased against the former president. I don’t think it would be reversed by the appellate division,” Dershowitz continued. “These are judges who are terrified of being perceived of as helping Trump in any way. Don’t know whether or not the New York Court of Appeals in Albany will have the ability to not consider the impact it will...

OK, serious answers only please... I'm trying to understand exactly what felony Trump was convicted of in yesterday's verdict. Here's what I understand (please correct me if I am wrong or inaccurate in any of my interpretation) : 1) Trump was accused of a sexual affair with Porn Star Stormy Daniels almost 20 years ago. 2) 9 years later, as Trump was planning to ran for President, he had Stormy Daniels sign a non-disclosuer agreement in exchange for paying her $130,000 for her silence. 3) Trump is being charged with falsifying business records in relation to this particular payment. Now,...

The guilty verdict against former President Donald Trump reached by a Manhattan jury on Thursday could ultimately be reviewed by the U.S. Supreme Court, legal experts said. Trump was convicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in an unprecedented verdict against the presumptive Republican presidential nominee just months before the 2024 election. The verdict is likely to be appealed by Trump’s legal team, however, and experts say the final decision in Trump’s hush-money trial could come down to a ruling from the highest court in the land. Attorney Roger Severino, who is the vice president of Domestic Policy...

The Kremlin said on Friday that Donald Trump's guilty verdict showed that all legal and illegal means were being used in the United States to get rid of political rivals. Donald Trump became the first U.S. president to be convicted of a crime on Thursday when a New York jury found him guilty of falsifying documents to cover up a payment to silence a porn star ahead of the 2016 election. "If we speak about Trump, the fact that there is simply the elimination, in effect, of political rivals by all possible means, legal and illegal, is obvious", Kremlin spokesman...

The conviction of former President Donald Trump on manufactured charges in a Stalinist show trial this week marks a crossroads for the Republican Party. From now on, the civil war inside the GOP will be between those who understand they must do to Democrats what Democrats have done to Trump, and those who think they can trundle along with business as usual.And make no mistake, that divide in the Republican Party is very real — and now, very obvious. In the wake of Trump’s conviction Thursday, for example, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was submissively silent for most of the...

Democrats will “rue the day” they decided to use lawfare to target a former president, Megyn Kelly warned after leftists celebrated the Manhattan jury finding former President Donald Trump guilty on all 34 counts in his business records trial. While many leftists were over the moon following the news of Trump’s conviction in his business records trial, Kelly warned that this is just the beginning, as they set the precedent for using lawfare against former presidents. “The proper word is corrupt. It’s a before and after moment for America. What just happened today is a line we can’t uncross, and...

Teflon Don rides again, according to an exclusive snap poll for DailyMail.com which found that the guilty verdict in Manhattan only improved the former president's standing with likely voters ahead of the 2024 election. Of those who said the 34 guilty counts had changed their view of Donald Trump, 22 percent said they now had a more favorable rating compared with 16 percent who said they viewed him more negatively. That six-point net positive result is another sign of the way the businessman-turned-politician seems able to ride out crises that would sink anyone else. The video player is currently playing...

Megyn Kelly warns Democrats that they have opened "Pandora's box" by prosecuting former President Trump. "Who's getting indicted next? Joe Biden? Maybe Jill Biden? How low can we go? You may not want to see it, but that ship has already left port." MEGYN KELLY: This whole scheme, and here it is the proper word is corrupt. It's a before and after moment for America. What just happened today is a line we can't uncross, and these Democrats will rue the day they decided to use lawfare to stop a presidential candidate. I'm not talking about violence; I'm talking about...

GUILTY: Biden Regime Convicts Trump in Banana Republic Case in NY. The twelve-person jury seated for former President Donald J. Trump‘s Manhattan-based hush money trial has handed down a verdict of guilty on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records.The trial, which began on April 22 and ran through this past Tuesday, saw seventeen days of witness testimony and arguments.

From the start, it was clear that the prosecution...

A very senior Republican is running for election. Prosecutors are determined to take him out, and are willing to compromise the integrity of the criminal justice system to do so. They indict their target on accounting matters. They cannot prevent him from being a candidate, but malicious prosecutors hope to damage that candidacy. Am I writing about Donald Trump? No. As this column never tires of shouting about the descent of the American criminal justice system into a playground for prosecutorial abuse of power: Remember Ted Stevens! If it can happen to him, it can happen to anyone, although with...

https://www.revolver.news/ ‘Republican attorneys general and district attorneys should bring criminal charges against Democratic officeholders wherever possible’… / GUILTY A grotesquely biased jury of Trump-haters, led by a judge who put service to his party above his judicial responsibilities, has returned guilty verdicts against Donald Trump on all 34 counts with which he was–absurdly–charged. What this shows is that the most important variable in any case is who decides it. Here, the Democrats knew that they could impanel a rabidly anti-Trump jury in Manhattan, so they did so. It is very much like the lawsuit that Michael Mann brought against Mark...

The the jury was given the liberty to select from three main options, effectively turning the process into a choose-your-own-adventure game of legal implications. Violations of federal election law (which no one in that courtroom is familiar with, and the judge specifically prevents Brad Smith from testifying about); The falsification of business records; and Tax violations

Verdict in.
