I’d Call This a Kangaroo Court, But That Would Be an Insult to Honest Kangaroos

Posted on | May 21, 2024 | Comments Off on I’d Call This a Kangaroo Court, But That Would Be an Insult to Honest Kangaroos

Ed Morrisey points out that Alan Dershowitz has literally been practicing law since before Judge Juan Merchan was born. This lends greater gravity to what Dershowitz said on Hannity last night after spending Monday in Merchan’s courtroom for the Trump trial: “This judge has committed more reversible errors in the one day I was in the courtroom than I’ve seen in years and years of practicing law.”

Dershowitz added: “Any first-year evidence student would understand that [Merchan] was making biased rulings in favor of one side.” Let me remind you of what I said Monday morning before this latest outrage:

Understand that 86% of voters in Manhattan voted for Joe Biden in 2020. There are no honest people on that jury. They know full well why they are there, and what is expected of them. This “trial” has nothing to do with justice, and everything to do with revenge — Trump beat Hillary in 2016, and Democrats cannot forgive him for that. . . .
This jury will vote to convict, no matter what.

The verdict will be guilty and, as Dershowitz suggests, this conviction will be thrown out on appeal, because of the judge’s blatant bias. But it will take many months, perhaps more than a year, for Trump’s appeal to work its way through the federal docket, and in the meantime, Judge Merchan and his co-conspirators on this all-Democrat jury will have delivered what their party wanted, i.e., the propaganda victory of being able to call Donald Trump a “convicted felon.” That is all this case was ever about — a political scheme for the benefit of the Democratic Party in general, and Joe Biden’s reelection campaign in particular.

All anyone can do to rectify this gross miscarriage of justice is (a) vote for Trump, (b) pray to God and (c) await our vengeance. Selah.

‘Get Trump’ Show Trial Continues

Posted on | May 20, 2024 | 4 Comments

CNN takes this mockery of justice very seriously:

The biggest questions as Donald Trump’s first criminal trial resumes Monday are whether his attorneys have destroyed the credibility of star witness Michael Cohen — and how much of the damage prosecutors can fix.
The presumptive GOP presidential nominee is due back in court amid clear signs the hush money trial is drawing toward a close — unless he takes the risky decision to testify in his own defense, a step that would lengthen and complicate the proceedings.
Defense lawyers say they expect to complete their bruising cross-examination of Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer and enforcer, on Monday morning. Prosecutors will then use their second chance to question Cohen to try to patch up any doubts the ex-president’s team may have sown in the minds of jurors about his version of events.

Here’s some important news: It doesn’t matter.

The prosecution has not explained how anything alleged against Trump is actually a crime, and if Judge Merchan had any integrity (which he doesn’t), as soon as the prosecution rests, he would issue a directed verdict of acquittal, but he won’t do that, because this is not actually a trial. The evidence and testimony don’t matter, because the outcome was predetermined before the “trial” ever started. This is a political operation organized by the Democratic Party to punish Trump and, if possible, to prevent him from being elected president again.

Understand that 86% of voters in Manhattan voted for Joe Biden in 2020. There are no honest people on that jury. They know full well why they are there, and what is expected of them. This “trial” has nothing to do with justice, and everything to do with revenge — Trump beat Hillary in 2016, and Democrats cannot forgive him for that.

Do not be distracted by this chatter from the media about the “question” of whether Michael Cohen’s credibility has been damaged. It doesn’t matter. This jury will vote to convict, no matter what.

FMJRA 2.0: Beatings Will Continue Until Morale Improves

Another bad week for the Senators. Lost two of three to the Angels, and then wound up losing two more to the Daytraders because I forgot the reschedule moved the games to Thursday. I’d like to think I could have won one of the two losses if I’d been managing instead of the robot, but considering I was facing Seaver and Niekro, probably not. Still at the bottom of the division, tied with the Twins.

Biden Administration Loses Key Ally

Posted on | May 19, 2024 | 2 Comments

The Biden administration gave $16 billion to Iran, but Joe Biden’s valuable partner is now missing and likely dead:

Iranians have been asked to pray for the safety of President Ebrahim Raisi after his helicopter went missing on the way back from a meeting Sunday with President Ilham Aliyev of Azerbaijan.
The helicopter was also carrying Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian, among other officials. It went missing in heavy fog in the mountainous region of northwestern Iran.
The official Fars news agency asked Iranians to pray, according to the Times of Israel:

Authorities have lost contact with the helicopter in which Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi was traveling, according to the Iranian Fars news agency.
Iranian Interior Minister Ahmad Vahidi says authorities are awaiting further details on the search and rescue operation, adding that teams are still on the way to the apparent crash site due to difficult weather conditions.
Fars calls on Iranians to pray for Raisi following the reports.

Earlier Sunday, the Abu Ali Express news blog reported on the meeting between Raisi and Aliyev, saying that it had been “disturbing” from Israel’s point of view, because Azerbaijan has been friendly with Israel until now.

A helicopter crashes in “heavy fog” in the mountains? Highly unlikely anyone survived that crash. Time to get the obituary ready:

My thoughts are with the @washingtonpost obituary team in this difficult time as they fiercely debate whether to call Ebrahim Raisi an “austere religious scholar”, a “patriotic anti-Zionist leader” or a “zealous anti-corruption crusader”.

Isn’t It Time We Discuss the Leading Cause of Antisemitism in America?

Posted on | May 18, 2024 | 2 Comments

If anyone wishes to understand why the United States is experiencing a startling increase in antisemitism, I would direct their attention not to the pro-Hamas protesters on university campuses, but rather to Rep. Jamie Rankin (D-Md.), who is so obnoxious as to make Jehovah Himself declare, “No, sir, you are not chosen.” It is to be recalled that Raskin spent months presiding over the phony J6 “insurrection” hearings, conducted by an illegitimate committee whose membership was handpicked by Nancy Pelosi contrary to the rules of the House.

That is to say, if anyone can be considered an expert on unethical congressional proceedings, it is Jamie Raskin, and this is not incidental to recent events that made headlines. Everybody was in a tizzy this week after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) made a remark about the “fake eyelashes” of Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Tx.). What caused that dust-up? The transcript:

GREENE: I’d like to know if any of the Democrats on this committee are employing Judge Merchan’s daughter.
CROCKETT: Please tell me what that has to do with Merrick Garland.
GREENE: Oh, Goldman. That’s right. He’s advising. Ok.
CROCKETT: Do you know what we’re here for? Do you know we’re here —
[CROSSTALK]
GREENE: I think your fake eyelashes are messing up your —

Why would Greene bring that up? The answer has to do with Jamie Raskin, but before I explain that, first we must remember why the House Oversight Committee was meeting Thursday. It was a full-committee markup where they would formalize contempt of Congress charges against Attorney General Merrick Garland. The Committee has subpoenaed the Department of Justice to turn over recordings of President Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur, who investigated Biden’s mishandling and improper disclosure of classified materials. Let us not be naive about why the Republicans in charge of the committee want that recording — they believe that audio of the interview will demonstrate the severity of Biden’s cognitive decline. Indeed, one imagines that if the committee got its hands on that recording, excerpts would be featured in GOP campaign ads showing how Biden is lost in a hopeless of fog of confusion, which is why Garland is stonewalling them.

In his opening remarks, Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) cleverly made the point of how important it is to comply with a subpoena:

Not long ago, a Member of this Committee said:
“The lesson is, please tell your children out there in America, if you get a subpoena to go before Congress, if you get a subpoena to go to the court, go. You have a legal responsibility to go.”
That was Ranking Member Raskin in 2022. Now, Ranking Member Raskin has spent this Congress making excuses for why people like Hunter Biden or, now, the Department of Justice don’t have to comply with Congressional subpoenas.

ZING! Welcome to the New Rules, how do you like ’em? Democrats in power are always doing things that they condemn as unfair whenever Republicans in power do the same things. When Raskin was running the “insurrection” show trial, he was willing to put people in jail for refusing to comply with his subpoenas, but now that the GOP is in the majority, suddenly contempt of Congress is no big deal. After Comer finished his opening remarks, then it was Jamie Raskin’s turn:

Ladies and gentlemen, in this special nighttime episode we resume the madcap comedy mystery series called “Comer’s High Crimes and Misadventures: The Hilarious Quest to Impeach a President Who Has Done Nothing Wrong,” an avowedly low-budget but multi-million dollar taxpayer funded production which most Americans assumed had ended two months ago and everyone had completely forgotten about.
But tonight, with the cast and crew fresh back from a surprise trip to New York City itself, it’s clear the show must go on!
Now, our originally scheduled performance was supposed to be at 11:00 am today but it was postponed when members of the Majority chose to join a mass spiritual pilgrimage to the New York criminal trial of a Florida man, an adjudicated fraudster and rapist, as he faces 34 felony counts of falsifying corporate financial records to cover up $130,000 paid in hush money to a porn star sex partner.
Although some people are churlishly complaining that Members of the House should actually be here to vote on public business and should not have forced a last-minute change in the Committee schedule, our colleagues properly demonstrated for all of history their fierce devotion to this clearly reformed, devout, and pious Florida spiritual leader who many supporters are calling the Messiah from Mar-a-Lago.
Of course, in the meantime, Chairman Jordan in the House Judiciary Committee preempted our GOP colleagues on Oversight, rendering this exercise not only absurd, but completely meaningless and redundant. They have already held Attorney General Garland purportedly in contempt.
Now, when we last met on this matter, you’ll recall that the Majority still had not identified a single high crime or misdemeanor that the President had committed.
The Committee’s impressive 3.8 million pages of documents and 80 hours of testimony from 20 witnesses produced nothing but overwhelming and definitive proof that President Biden had nothing wrong. . . .

Really? There is “definitive proof” of Biden’s innocence? But notice how Raskin had to bring up the “Orange Man Bad” theme, pandering to Trump Derangement Syndrome sufferers while mocking the proceedings of a congressional committee as a “madcap comedy mystery series.”

Raskin rambled on in this vein for a while before delivering what he certainly considered his pièce de résistance:

Real obstruction happened when two members of this Committee, who may be preparing to vote tonight to hold Attorney General Garland in contempt, brazenly refused to comply with subpoenas from the U.S. House Select Committee to investigate the January 6th attack on the United States Capitol, and still have not responded to those subpoenas.
But now, it seems, Mr. Chairman, I just got passed something, that the whole obstruction gimmick may just be a fundraising ploy, which demeans the overwhelming legal integrity and impressive theatrical ambitions of this enterprise. I was just handed a mass fundraising email solicitation for your campaign that you sent out this evening, Mr. Chairman, stating that, “Biden and his advisors are terrified that I will release the recordings, forcing the media and Democrats to answer for the dismal decline of Biden’s mental state. … This could be the final blow to Biden with swing voters across the country. … The Democrats are pulling out all the stops to stop the bleeding. … Signed, James Comer, Chairman, House Oversight Committee.”
No, I must confess my disappointment to be handed this fundraising solicitation, signed by you as Chairman of the House Oversight Committee. I thought that you were serious about the legal enterprise here, and not just another political huckster calling hearings to score cheap political points and to make a buck.

Oh, ho, ho! You mean to tell us that Democrats don’t constantly do the exact same thing? Do you, Mr. Raskin, expect us to believe that you never once sent out a fundraising letter mentioning your “insurrection” show trial? Your pretended abhorrence of such fundraising reminds me of a certain Captain Renault, who was shocked — shocked! — to discover there was gambling was going on in Casablanca.

Now, perhaps, you see the point that Marjorie Taylor Greene was trying to make. Raskin and the Democrats were trying to suggest that Comer and his fellow Republicans were engaged in unethical behavior, which prompted Greene to bring up the fact that Loren Merchan, the daughter of Judge Juan Merchan, currently presiding over the Manhattan trial of Trump, is a Democratic campaign consultant. You see, Rep. Dan Goldman (D-N.Y.), a member of the Oversight Committee, paid more than $150,000 to Loren Merchan’s consulting firm. Committee Democrats are up to their eyeballs in the corrupt persecution of Trump in Alvin Bragg’s Manhattan, and yet dare to accuse Republicans of wrongdoing in their investigation of Biden! And while Greene was making that point, she was interrupted by Crockett — who hadn’t been recognized by the chair — and then Greene responded with the “fake eyelashes” jab, which sent AOC into a fit of shrieking hysteria.

All of that, however, was merely the sequel to the dishonest and hypocritical performance of Jamie Raskin in his opening statement. So if anyone at the Anti-Defamation League wants to know what’s causing the rise of antisemitism in America, I’ll just show them a picture of Jamie Raskin: “Have you seen this guy? Looking for all the world like a crude caricature of a sleazy Jew published in a 1932 edition of Der Stürmer? If you guys really want to do something about antisemitism, how about convincing Jamie Raskin to retire from Congress?”

Until then, sorry, I can’t help you.
