JUST IN: Far-Left Judge Merchan Rejects Trump Demand to Recuse as Jury Selection Underway for ‘Hush Money’ Trial
The Gateway Pundit ^ | April 15, 2024 | Cristina Laila

Posted on 04/15/2024 10:18:32 AM PDT by Macho MAGA Man

The judge on Monday rejected Trump’s request to recuse himself as the former president appeared in court.

CNN reported:

Judge Juan Merchan denied the motion for recusal and says he won’t consider it again until the appellate court rules.

Merchan says it’s the opinion of the court that Trump is using a “series of inferences, innuendos and unsupported speculation” to make his claims for recusal.

Trump appeared to be looking straight ahead, at a screen, biting his bottom lip as the judge rejected the recusal motion.

This Brazilian born black robed tyrant of a judge is determined to jail Trump with an anti-Trump jury despite Stormy Daniels signing a letter stating the affair never happened.

Easily overturned later. Trump will get his money back. Meanwhile it’s PR for Trump without him having to spend as much for traditional campaign advertising (money he doesn’t get back).

This communist piece of sh*t “Judge” told Trump that he has to come to EVERY SINGLE court date otherwise he will be thrown in jail..so they are doing this on PURPOSE so he wont be able to campaign. They figure the other cases wont be happening before the election so this is their only chance

In a criminal trial defendants are required to be present as jeopardy is jail. Trump made mistakes in the “rape” trial of the old hag by not being present.

He’s actually Colombian.

And a petty tyrant who has been promised big rewards for screwing the President of the United States.

I yam a BEEG man! Un mucho macho hombre...

He’s not a actual State Supreme Court judge, he’s a Court of Claims judge on TDY to the NYSSC. And reportedly lobbied hard to get this gig. He’s on a mission and was tasked. They want a conviction even if it’s overturned.

How come the whore Stormy Daniels is referred to by her stage name in a court room instead of Stephanie Clifford?

Per NBC live updates:

Merchan said there will be no trial on any Wednesdays or on April 29. But if the trial starts to run long, he said he reserves the right to convene trial on Wednesday afternoons.

There will be no trial on any day that conflicts with the religious observance of any juror, as well, he said.

At most, that would mean April 22 and 23 for Passover as well as April 29 and 30, but that will not be true to accommodate the lawyers alone. He is willing to curtail trial on April 22 and April 23 by 2 p.m. to allow counsel to make it to their holiday observances by sundown, which is roughly at 7:43 pm ET.

If everything is going according to schedule, he said he will adjourn for Barron Trump’s high school graduation and that of one of the defense lawyers’ children on May 17 and June 3, respectively. But he said he’s reserving judgment on that now.

This is why the defense has to refuse EVERY SINGLE JUROR who is brought in, that way the trial cannot happen in New York..Trump will be convicted without the Prosecution having any witnesses

It appears he not a judge just a democrat pawn to keep his seat.

Sometimes the cheese trap doesn’t trigger because the long term trap works better and longer.
