The notoriously political Judge Juan Merchan sentenced President-elect Donald Trump Friday morning for his ridiculous ‘hush money’ conviction in Manhattan. The Lawfare effort was entirely to position President Trump as the first convicted felon in the White House. That’s it. That’s the sum of motive and intent. To create a narrative.
That’s what lawfare is all about, creating public perceptions and using the judicial system to advance political goals. Few people care about the issues and the entire case is likely to be thrown out on a host of appeal reasonings.
The audio from the court sentencing hearing is below.

Delivering a short ruling [pdf here], the Supreme Court has refused to intercede in the sentencing of President Trump in the Manhattan ‘hush money’ case. The court apparently is providing Judge Merchan the opportunity to correct his prior rulings which are likely to be overturned on appeal. The sentencing hearing is scheduled for Friday, January 10.e
Two of the high court’s Republican appointees, Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett, joined the court’s three Democratic appointees to turn down Trump’s last-ditch attempt to avert the sentencing.
WASHINGTON DC – […] Trump has vowed to appeal to overturn his conviction, claiming that evidence and testimony was admitted that implicated his duties as president during his first term. Last summer, the high court ruled presidents were immune from criminal prosecution for some official acts. The high court’s brief order did not get into those issues in detail, but said Trump’s complaints of errors at his trial “can be addressed in the ordinary course on appeal.”

This is not the first time the 11th CCA has ruled in favor of Jack Smith. This is the same federal circuit court who said they defer any/all definitions of classified documents and national security matters to the executive branch, in a prior ruling that supported the lawfare operation.
Today the 11th CCA has ruled that part-1 of Jack Smith’s political report outlining the purposes and intents of his 3-year-long prosecution of Donald Trump for refusing to accept the fraudulent 2020 election. The second part of the report on the Mar-a-Lago documents case will not be released due to ongoing litigation against other defendants.
WASHINGTON – […] The Atlanta-based 11th Circuit Court of Appeals’ ruling Thursday night left in place an order from U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon — the judge in one of those cases — that in its current form bars Attorney General Merrick Garland from releasing the report through at least Sunday.
The Justice Department could challenge Cannon’s order, triggering another round of emergency court proceedings. At the same time, Trump’s allies could challenge the appeals court ruling, perhaps by seeking relief from the Supreme Court. The high court on Thursday turned down Trump’s attempt to stave off sentencing for his criminal conviction in his New York hush money case.
In short, the fate of Smith’s report — and whether some of it will be released publicly in the coming days — remains a muddle. A Justice Department spokesperson declined to comment on the latest development.
DOJ had asked that the appeals court resolve the matter by Friday, though it appears it will take at least another few days, with just 11 days left until Trump is inaugurated and takes control of the department. (read more)

Let me explain something. MKUltra is currently used in prisons. This is the “hole” at MCC in New York City. When I heard Epstein was put in this place, I wrote it was only a question if he would commit suicide BEFORE or AFTER a plea. Oh yes. He hung himself, had no bunkie, was on suicide watch, guards fell asleep, and the camera didn’t work. A perfect storm. My own lawyers warned me to be careful; they would try to kill me. How is that for legal advice? I knew Epstein would be dead based on where they put him. I was in the cell across from where he supposedly committed suicide – yeah! ON CIVIL CONTEMPT, no less – not criminal. This is a jail – not a prison. No outdoor yard or Bocce courts.
A plea of guilty means NOTHING. You are given the choice of trial and 120 years since you will NEVER get a fair trial in NYC, or you plea and take 5 years. Claiming these January 6th prisoners plead guilty is only because they and their families are threatened. That is our legal SYSTEM. Will Trump investigate? I seriously doubt it. The Deep State controls the country, and nobody in DC will challenge them so much for We the People.
Judge Rakoff, when he retired, wrote a book on how the government ROUTINELY forces innocent people to plead guilty all the time. I have written that I do not believe in the death penalty as being the worst punishment. That is life imprisonment. Two death row inmates who Biden commuted their sentences just rejected it. I would do the same. Trump is DEAD WRONG on the death penalty. It is NEVER a deterrent. That is pure bullshit. Make it the choice of the inmate – life or death. Many would choose death over being tortured mentally for the rest of their lives. You want a deterrent, a prosecutor should suffer the punishment he imposes on an innocent person. Now, you will start to clean up the legal system.
More than 50% of the people in federal prison are innocent. The guilty go free because they know the game. You implicate and bring in as many people as you can and you go home. I met priests in prison who thought they were being kind and wire money to China. He thought to help a family, and the person was a drug dealer who asked him to please help his family. A superintendent of an apartment building was given 17 years because drug dealers said he would let them know if the police were entering the building. They tried to give the death penalty to a 26-year-old who, when asked where Joe was, replied he was over there, and they killed him. The prosecutors are the worst people you will ever meet. They wanted the death penalty on that kid just to win one in NYC for once – not the shooters.
To survive these MKUltra Tactics, you MUST turn it into a game like the TV series Survivor. They would throw me in a cell that was so hot that my underwear was too much to wear. They throw you into a cell that is so cold you see your breath and deny you any clothing but your underwear. Sleep deprivation is also a favorite. You have to turn it mentally into a survivor game. Ok, I beat that one – what’s next? They threw me in with the terrorists from the first World Trade Center attack. A Muslim cannot be seen naked. They would come and order you to take off all your clothes and claim the guy is behind them with fresh clothes that never came. No heat. I told the kid to put on the blanket. He said no, they told him it was made of pig hear. I told him they were liars. There is no such thing. It is wool. He finally believed me. All the time, my family tried to see me, but they told them I was not there.
This is why the US Conviction Rate approaches 99% in USA
Fair Trials Do NOT Exist
And there is ABSOLUTELY Nobody who will defend the people there.
Court Appointed Lawyers are there to get you to plead only!!!
Politicians turn a blind eye, and the ACLU will NEVER even respond
to a plea for help
Do not Donate to Them or Wikipedia – It’s All Bullshit
