Giving him the benefit of the doubt, the pressure was huge. Like the rest of his cases, nobody wanted to be the one who threw an ex-president in jail. However, he instead decided to play chicken to see if his job would get done for him, and it was. Now he gets to wash his hands of it.
Regardless, this is a complete failure of the justice system and he needs to step down or be removed. We don’t need biased judges who are too afraid to do their job.
This was obviously the plan all along.
Bullshit…
I think Merchan would’ve sentenced him had he lost the election.
Perhaps…

Noone wanted to be the judge who stood up and loudly declared that a president is not above the law? That seems weird
I second this…
But with these MAGA wackos, his life would have been on the line…
Now that I think about it, aren’t judges sworn to uphold the law and the constitution over anything else, let’s say their life?
Almost like he may not have been qualified to uphold that part of his job…
(End of rambling thought)
Cool. I think Merchan is a fucking traitor.
