The tortuous trial against Donald Trump
Carlos Ramírez López @CarlosRamirezL3 @DrLeyCRL
In the Court of the Southern District of New York, an absurd criminal process is underway against Presidential Candidate Donald Trump, against whom the New York Prosecutor Alvin Bragg has formulated outrageously 34 criminal charges which have as their center a sexual encounter, a “Hush money” payment that he would have had 18 years ago with a woman dedicated to doing pornography.
That demand was obviously a crime of extortion that Trump was forced to accept to avoid the scandal surrounding the previous electoral campaign in which he participated as a candidate. So, he asked his then-lawyer, Michael Cohen, to pay with his money, which would be refunded. The lawyer did so after demanding that she sign a confidentiality contract, a commitment not to reveal that she signed. Still, then the woman, continuing with her intention of continuing to get money from that night of sex, asked for more and faced with the indifference he received in response, he looked for a way to continue digging the well, and with this purpose, he found a way: he demanded the nullity of the contract alleging that Donald Trump had not signed it. She thus evaded the confidentiality to which she had committed herself. From then on, the scandal increased, which was her obsessive objective.
THE SAGA AND ITS CURRENT CONTINUATION. That story came as a chain of another previous one. Stormy Daniels herself, some time ago, in the obsessive search for her extortionate media noise, reported to the press that when she got into her vehicle in the parking lot, a man approached her and threatened her, demanding that she not continue messing with Trump. Thus, the chain of scandal continued. When Donald Trump discovered this new episode, he published a tweet calling it a scam. She then sued him for defamation, a lawsuit that was heard before the Central District of California court.
That first trial ended with a ruling that dismissed the lawsuit and also ordered the pornographic actress to pay trial costs of $293,000 to Trump. She appealed and also lost that appeal. In that Court of Appeals ruling that settled her lawsuit, she was also ordered to pay the defendant another $245,000 in attorneys’ fees. In total, Stormy Daniels came out of that judicial conflict against Trump with a debt of $538,000 that she did not pay. In a tweet, she published this: “I will go to jail before paying a cent.”
BIDEN’S GOVERNMENT ESCALATION. The Department of Justice openly took the case, but she had not paid. Prosecutor Alvin Bragg, motivated by an apparent electoral interest against the man who tops the polls, taking as a pretext that the payment to the pornographer was not correctly declared to the IRS (the tax office) and that that constituted fraud against the treasury formalized this accusation which, as previously stated, has as its center the issue of the night of sex that the aforementioned Stormy Daniels and Donald Trump allegedly had in a hotel in New York City, the confidentiality contract and the payment that was made to him so that he would not reveal it.
Incredible but true that this new case is based on a criminal act that the Department of Justice made its own, that of Daniels’ extortion against her client Trump in the act of prostitution, and she was presented in the recent trial hearing as the star witness of the case urging her to give details of the sexual encounter, following the script she went overboard narrating that he did not use a condom to penetrate her, that the position in which they did the act was that of missionary, that she spanked him and other unnecessary and inappropriate peculiarities. The prosecution did this to impress and motivate the jury to give credibility to the fact, a disgusting thing the judge undauntedly allowed.
THE JUDGE OF THE CASE. What the media reveals about the incidents that have been occurring in the hearings of the case indicates that the judge handling it, Juan Merchan, was born in Bogotá but emigrated to the United States as a child, where he became a lawyer and has held important positions in the North American judiciary. , is being extremely tolerant of the excesses of the prosecutor’s office; this is contrary to the highly harsh attitude that he has been showing against Donald Trump, who has denounced a political interest in him; even his team of lawyers denounced that this judge’s daughter is president from the digital agency Authentic Campaigns which worked on the campaigns of several Democratic Party candidates, including that of President Joe Biden. They have also denounced that during the 2020 presidential campaign, in those massive campaigns to collect money for expenses, Judge Merchan had donated $15 to the campaign of Democrat Joe Biden and $10 to a group called “Stop Republicans.” However, none of that has been enough to make him withdraw from the process; he has even toughened those calls for attention to Trump by prohibiting him from giving statements about the case.
THE MORBID TESTIMONY OF STORMY DANIELS. Taken by the prosecutor for two days, she took the stand, testifying for seven hours. Her statement did not address the purpose of the process, which was determined in the accusation that Trump had committed a criminal offense by having lied to the treasury about the money paid in exchange for sex and the silence required in this regard. She was defiant, detailing the sexual relationship she had with Trump, that he waited for her in silk pajamas, that he took her to bed, that he took off her clothes, that he did it in the missionary position and without using a condom. , etc., all with great crudeness recreating one of his pornographic films, truth or lie, the events he related do not generate elements of interest for the object of the debate but do for the morbidity of the public.
There, on that bench in the Manhattan Federal Court, her desire for revenge overflowed for the defeat she suffered in that failed lawsuit with which she began her judicial war in her excessive attempt to extort Trump, which — as previously stated — ended in a resounding failure, resulting in a sentence in his favor for half a million dollars, which otherwise he has not paid.
At the end of the pornographic actress’s lurid testimony, the defendant’s lawyers asked that the process be annulled for lack of purpose, but undaunted in his attitude, the judge denied it and justified his inaction in the face of Sthormy Daniels’ disgusting testimony by saying that it was the fault of the defense lawyers who did not raise enough objections, something like “whatever is illegal, what is immoral that a party does in the process is legitimized if the other party does not object”
Of course, she confirmed that if Trump talked about this, he would send him to jail. This he told him: “You have been president, and most likely you will be again, but if you violate my prohibition to speak about this trial, I will send you to jail.”
AMERICAN JUSTICE Senator Mitt Romney, who previously voted against Trump and approved that he be prosecuted in the two impeachment cases he previously faced, produced a statement questioning prosecutor Alvin Bragg “because he had a political agenda behind him” and adding that: “The prosecutor’s overreach sets a dangerous precedent for criminalizing political opponents and damages citizens’ faith in our justice system.”
The deplorable behavior of the judge and the prosecutor could have consequences for the American citizen’s mental balance when deciding who to vote for in the next presidential elections.
An entire country is waiting on tenterhooks for the end of this drama!
