Juan Merchan, the viciously biased presiding judge in the bogus “hush money” case against Donald Trump, has just dealt a wholly unexpected and yet staggering blow to the leftists who were positively slavering at the prospect of seeing Trump clapped behind bars on Sept. 18. The destroyers of the republic will now have to content themselves with hollering “convicted felon!” at every conceivable opportunity, for Merchan has now set the sentencing for Nov. 26, a full three weeks after what used to be Election Day and is now the formal end of Election Season.
Merchan explained defensively that he postponed the sentencing in order “to avoid any appearance — however unwarranted — that the proceeding has been affected by or seeks to affect the approaching Presidential election in which the Defendant is a candidate.” He added, “The Court is a fair, impartial, and apolitical institution,” and insisted, again with an unusual degree of defensiveness, that the postponement “should dispel any suggestion that the Court will have issued any decision or imposed sentence either to give an advantage to, or to create a disadvantage for, any political party and or any candidate for any office.”
Good move, Juan, but your explanation won’t fly. You have made no effort to dispel the impression that you’re a partisan hack. In fact, you only fueled it by batting aside the Trump team’s repeated requests that you recuse yourself from the case, given all the clear evidence of your deep and abiding bias.
