Legal Pundits Warn of 'October Surprise' for Trump—in September
Bob Hoge


Fox News pundit and former Assistant United States Attorney Andrew McCarthy and former official at the DOJ under George W. Bush John Yoo are both sounding the alarm on an issue that’s fallen on the backburner with all the other news out there.

What they’re talking about could very well turn the presidential election on its head and take us into new territory—namely that Judge Juan Merchan will impose a jail sentence on Trump following the former president's guilty verdicts on 34 counts of business fraud.

Sentencing is scheduled for September 18, assuming of course that Merchan rejects Trump’s effort to have the charges thrown out. The former president's lawyers argue that they should be dismissed because of the recent Supreme Court presidential immunity ruling, which said that former commander-in-chiefs couldn’t be charged for acts they committed in an “official” capacity.

McCarthy noted that Merchan has proven time and again that he’s biased and wants to “get” Trump.  The judge has repeatedly denied the GOP nominee’s requests that he recuse himself because his daughter has worked for prominent Democrats as a consultant.

I suspect he will throw Trump in prison.  Guaranteed.  And it will have an impact on the election.  There are those folks who will not vote for Trump, being in prison.

Even Biden would have defeated him.  He never had a chance.  They stacked the deck.  The judge is the one that should be indicted.  He had no business on this case because of a conflict of interest.  But the Dems are never bothered by rules.  They do as they please.

And I find the Supreme Court completely derelict.  There are events where they should stand up, even when a case is not brought before them to correct wrongdoing with judicial process.  They have been completely silent.  That is what you get with a Bush appointed Roberts' court.  Corruption galore!!!!
