A writer at Front Page discussed the mock trial Donald Trump was subjected to in NYC by Soros agent Alvin Bragg, and how it's made him ashamed to have once been a NY resident:

Although I predicted to friends and family that our 45th—and soon to be 47th—President Donald J. Trump would be convicted in the kangaroo court/sham trial in Manhattan, even I was unprepared for the breathtaking “Guilty On All Counts” verdict unsealed Thursday afternoon.

The breadth and impact of this action by 12 jurors—acting as twelve Pinocchios for Judge Juan Merchan’s Gepetto—proved our worst fears about their inability to be fair and impartial. In the face of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s absurd actions, running years-old misdemeanor cases through a food processor, he created never-before seen case law that made bookkeeping entries into “felonies.” And the men and women of the jury opted to rubber stamp not one, not a few, but all 34 of Bragg’s made-up charges…choosing to be swayed by convicted perjuror and Trump-hater Michael Cohen into an historic smear of a former president of the United States.

To call them spineless may seem too harsh to some, but let’s face it: among the men and women of this disgraceful jury were two lawyers…and a lawyer served as foreman of the panel. Search your heart and ask yourself if you really thought Manhattan attorneys would actually weigh the evidence fairly andever deliver a not guilty verdict, knowing that they would have to return to their law firms and face colleagues after “letting Trump go free.” Apparently you never watched the cable series Suits if you thought that was even a remote possibility.

Ditto for the rest of the jurors. They each raised their right hand and swore an oath to be fair and impartial, but obviously peer pressure ultimately prevented them from voting not guilty on even a single one of the 34 Bragg-manufactured charges. Look up the term “miscarriage of justice” in the dictionary and you’ll likely find each of their faces.

Of course, there's also a likelihood the "jurors" were predetermined in their verdict too, and could also be far-left ideologues, which would make this kangaroo court all the more chilling. BTW, isn't it illegal for lawyers and even judges to serve on jury panels? And, as the writer later says:

Voters will have their say in November, and I firmly believe Donald Trump will roar into the Fall elections stronger than ever in the face of this manufactured “conviction.”

But as someone who was born in New York, this whole shameful episode has tarnished my fond memories of what was once the greatest city on earth. The vibrant, exciting “city that never sleeps” has—under Democrat control—morphed into a dystopian nightmare that now is unsafe even for a former president.

I’m going to vote with my feet and with my wallet. I will never set foot in New York City ever again. No Broadway shows. No Yankees games. No shopping. No tourism like visiting the Statue of Liberty or Central Park or the Bronx Zoo.

In the spirit of pride month activists who boycott cities over “bathroom laws” and major corporations who pull investments out of states that enact voter registration laws with which they disagree, I simply will not spend a penny in a city that houses such biased, spineless jurors who would rather sandbag our former President than uphold the rule of law.

I honestly am not up to visiting NYC again, or even Philadelphia, because of the horrible way they're going these days. It's just too awful to ponder.

As another writer at the Federalist notes, however, even Republicans have to shoulder considerable blame for not firmly protesting this earlier:

As radio host Michael Berry quipped in a post on X, the sham verdict in New York “probably made some Republicans in Congress so mad that they will even consider holding some hearings.”

It’s funny until it’s not.

Republican leaders have remained largely tight-lipped about Democrats’ anti-Trump lawfare despite holding the House and control of several states in which Biden surely could be brought up on charges pertaining to the porous border or defying the Supreme Court. But Republicans did and continue to do nothing.

Take, for example, the belated and worthless response from Senate Minority “Leader” Mitch McConnell.

“These charges never should have been brought in the first place. I expect the conviction to be overturned on appeal,” McConnell posted to X hours after the verdict was delivered.

McConnell is right that the charges never should have been brought. So then why did Republican leaders sit on their hands for a year while Bragg devised his lawfare campaign?

But are we really surprised that the party that, as independent journalist Julie Kelly put it, “stood silent for 3 years as Biden’s DOJ/FBI investigated, raided, charged, prosecuted and incarcerated 1,400+ Trump supporters for Jan. 6,” did nothing to combat the lawfare against Trump? And are still doing nothing to combat the three other lawfare cases?

I guess not. The incompetence of the GOP to properly defend somebody who'd helped Israel even as they seemingly defend it themselves is disturbing. And sooner or later, their failures will have consequences and take their toll very badly.
