The Hard Right Press Misunderstood NYC Judge Merchan’s Ruling — Entirely.

Y A W N.

Faux and the NY Post have so badly distorted the actual Merchan ruling, this morning… I have to wonder whether it is intentional disinformation.

This is the story of “quasi-fictional” reporting… that leads people without high school level educations (mostly Tangerine / MAGA voters) to say he’s been fully acquitted.

Poppycock.

All the able judge has ruled… it that he will hear argument on whether Justice Roberts’ ruling here applies.

It. Does. Not.

These are state level felonies, not federal ones. For predicate acts prior to any time in public office. This cannot be “activity” of a executive elect. Per the NYT:

The Manhattan district attorney’s office, which prosecuted Mr. Trump, then asked to pause decisions in the case until Nov. 19 so it could weigh how to respond. And the judge overseeing the case, Juan M. Merchan, promptly granted the pause, effectively freezing any progress for the next week….

That is all. Now — onward. But don’t believe the carny barkers at the NY Post or Faux.

Out.
