RIGGED: Judge Merchan Let an Anti-Trumper Who Lied Onto the Jury
by Matt Margolis
Judge Juan Merchan’s anti-Trump bias is so bad he isn’t even pretending to make the jury selection process fair.
Earlier this week, Fox News’ Jesse Watters reported on how the process has been rigged against Trump, and he brought up how liberal activists are trying to sneak onto the jury.
“They are catching undercover liberal activists lying to the judge. They’re saying, ‘Oh, have you ever said anything on social media about Donald Trump?’ ‘No, I can’t remember.’ ‘Well, what about this post where you said he should be in prison?’ ‘Oh yeah, that one.’ ‘Strike!’ and they keep throwing these undercovers at him.”
“And thank God they’re doing the research on these people so far,” he added.
But not everyone who has been caught lying was booted. One of 12 seated jurors includes a woman who lied on her questionnaire to cover up her anti-Trump views.
Trump’s lawyer, Todd Blanche, sought to have Juror No. B133 removed because she had posted a video on social media celebrating Trump’s defeat in the 2020 presidential election.
“This is a woman who said she never attended a Trump rally,” Susan Necheles, another of Trump’s attorneys, pointed out before adding that this was “clearly an anti-Trump event.”
However, prosecutor Joshua Steinglass argued that the video depicted a celebration, not a rally. He clarified, “This is somebody filming people celebrating from a remote distance.”
