While the media was focused on trying to convince us that the bond reduction was an unmitigated win for Donald, the results of a hearing in a courtroom a few blocks away was an unmitigated disaster for him…
Here’s what happened and what it means:
As Donald sat in the courtroom, Judge Juan Merchan cut through his attempts to delay his election fraud case and scolded Donald’s attorneys for accusing the Manhattan DA’s office of prosecutorial misconduct with zero evidence.
As Merchan grew “uncharacteristically furious,” Donald reportedly “stood and scowled.”
Scowl harder, Donald.
But why did the New York election fraud case became Donald’s worst nightmare?
At the close of the hearing, and despite protests from Donald’s attorneys, Judge Juan Merchan set the trial to begin on April 15.
Prosecutors have told the court they will need 15 to 17 days at minimum to present their case. Judge Merchan has already made it clear he won’t tolerate any unnecessary delays.
What this really means is that today’s decision made it more likely that we will get a criminal verdict before the 2024 election, possibly with a few months to spare.
Up to 53% of key swing state voters say they would refuse to vote for Donald if he were convicted of a criminal offense.
While the media will tell you Donald won today, he actually faces a better chance of being a convicted for a crime and being sentenced to prison before the election. That, in turn, makes it significantly less likely for him to win in November.
On top of that, New York State is one step closer to being made whole if they can secure that $175 million bond. That is, if Donald even has that much.
I’ll take that news. How about you?
