As former President Donald Trump faces yet another legal battle, the glaring question of fairness looms large over the proceedings. With a jury pool drawn from a city that overwhelmingly voted against him, Trump finds himself navigating treacherous waters where political bias threatens to overshadow justice.
The recent seating of a full jury in the hush money trial has reignited concerns about the impartiality of the legal process. In a city where animosity toward Trump runs deep, the prospect of a fair trial seems increasingly elusive. Trump himself has decried the proceedings as a political vendetta, lamenting the erosion of due process and the weaponization of the legal system for political gain.
Indeed, the circumstances surrounding the trial raise legitimate questions about the integrity of the judiciary. From the judge presiding over the case to the composition of the jury pool, the pervasive influence of partisan affiliations casts a shadow of doubt over the proceedings.
Trump’s remarks following the seating of the jury reflect a deep-seated frustration with what he perceives as a gross miscarriage of justice. In his view, the trial represents not only a personal attack but also a symptom of a broader decline in democratic norms—a sentiment echoed by many of his supporters.
As the trial unfolds, Trump’s legal team faces an uphill battle to counter the prevailing narrative of political persecution. With each twist and turn in the courtroom drama, the stakes grow higher, underscoring the urgent need for transparency and accountability in the legal system.
While the odds may seem stacked against him, Trump remains resolute in his fight for justice. With unwavering determination, he stands as a symbol of defiance against the forces seeking to undermine the rule of law for political gain.

It gets better, Dan. The same judge sitting in Trump's case is the one who sat in Steve Bannon's case, and Allen Weisselberg's case. Looks like this guy is VERY RELIABLE, if you know what I mean. Given that Judge's are randomly assigned, what are the odds? It's a real…
