Forcing former President Donald Trump to sit in a courthouse for up to eight weeks in a case that both sides of the aisle have deemed "Dubious" at best is deliberate election interference by vendetta-driven Democrats.
Rogue Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg indicted Trump on 34 counts related to allegations that Trump had his then-lawyer Michael Cohen pay money to pornographer Stormy Daniels to cover an alleged affair he had years earlier.
Bragg claimed Trump falsified business records, breaking the law by having his company report payments to Daniels as "Legal fees" instead of campaign expenditures.
The only possible exception is Wednesdays, when the court does not convene - but that depends on whether Judge Juan Merchan, who is overseeing the case, grants Trump lawyer Todd Blanche's request that the presumptive Republican nominee be allowed one weekday to conduct campaign events.
"As you know President Trump is very busy," Blanche told Judge Merchan, according to The Washington Post.
Trump currently leads Biden in several key swing states and general matchup polls, but how much longer can Trump maintain his edge if his ability to communicate to voters is limited while Biden gets unfettered access to the American public? Merchan also rebuffed a request from Blanche to excuse the former president next Thursday so he could attend the Supreme Court hearing on his immunity claims as part of a separate lawfare case.
As The Federalist's Margot Cleveland noted, Bragg did not identify what supposed crime Trump intended to conceal by allegedly "Falsifying business records." As she explained, Bragg must do so for the charges to qualify as felonies.
