Perversion of Justice?

Greg Price posted eleven reasons on Twitter why so many people believe that the Trump "Hush-Money" trial orchestrated by Alvin Bragg and Judge Juan Merchan bears an amazing likeness to the old Soviet show trials under Joseph Stalin.

For these eleven reasons and others, the guilty verdict in this trial is almost certain to be overturned on appeal, but that apparently doesn't matter to Bragg and Merchan who are being treated like heroes by the left at places like MSNBC.

What seems to matter most to those who think it's a good move to persecute a former president by prosecuting him for political benefit is that they'll get to call him a "convicted felon" in the campaign and maybe even get photos of him in a prison jumpsuit.

Here are Price's eleven:

- The Soros funded DA elevated a misdemeanor to a felony despite lowering 60% of all felonies for actual criminals in his jurisdiction.
- The lead prosecutor resigned his position as the 3rd highest ranking member of Biden's DOJ to join Alvin Bragg's team going after Trump.
- The judge donated to Joe Biden and has a daughter who raised millions of dollars for Democrats off the Trump prosecutions.
- The other lead prosecutor also donated to Joe Biden.
- The lead witness that the whole case relies on is a convicted perjurer and serial liar who admitted during the trial to stealing money from the Trump organization.
- The judge put a gag order on Donald Trump for pointing out the political conflicts of interest of the people prosecuting him.
- The "crime" relies on the idea that Trump paid off Stormy Daniels to conceal another crime, which is not mentioned in the indictment.
- The judge barred Trump's defense from explaining to jury that no campaign finance violation occurred but allowed prosecutors to assert as fact in their closing that there was.
- The judge cleared out the court room when Michael Cohen's former attorney was exonerating Trump but allowed the prosecution to bring in Stormy Daniels to talk about whether or not Trump used a condom.
- The judge barred a former FEC commissioner from testifying that Donald Trump did nothing wrong.
- The judge is allowing the jury to not have to reach a unanimous verdict on the underlying, unnamed crime Trump committed.

One doesn't have to be a Trump fan or a Republican to be sickened by this travesty and to fear for the future of our country if people like this continue to be in charge much longer.
