GENIUS and HONOURABLE Hush Money Judge Juan Merchan Tells TRUMP He CANT Claim Presidential Immunity in His Upcoming CRIMINAL Trial, Because He WASN'T EVEN President When The Offense Occurred

'Fair Game': Expert Says Judges' Rejection of Trump Immunity Unlocks KEY Evidence
MSNBC 4 APR 2024
Specifically, it was never in question whether Trump could be charged for the offense itself, because the alleged business fraud to conceal the payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels took place before Trump was even president. and before he pleaded not guilty to 34 felony criminal charges...
Trump hush-money Judge Juan Merchan and his famiiy are now under heightened protection after decision
Who is Juan Manuel Merchan?
This is not the first time that Judge Merchan has been involved in hearing a case concerning Trump.
Last year, he had presided over the tax-fraud trial, which led to the conviction of the Trump Organization’s Chief Financial Officer Allen Weisselberg.
The New York County Supreme Court judge has been on the current bench for more than 16 years.
However, the current case related to Trump’s hush money pay-off will be the most high-profile case he may have presided over during his entire career.

Former President Donald Trump lost his ploy to claim presidential immunity in the Manhattan hush money case, with New York Judge Juan Merchan saying Trump did not properly make the claim in an orderly fashion. The effect of this is somewhat different from the other cases where Trump has claimed immunity
What Trump was seeking was for all his communications, including tweets, about the matter while he was president to be excluded.
"Since the judge just rejected Trump's motion to exclude evidence on presidential immunity grounds, this tweet remains fair game for prosecutors for now," wrote Klasfeld.
And that matters, he said, because the tweets that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg can now use as evidence, including a 2018 claim that his former attorney Michael Cohen's brokering of an "NDA" with Daniels was unrelated to his campaign, imply Trump had full knowledge of the scheme for which he is being charged — limiting his ability to claim this wasn't his doing.
Some other Trump cases could hinge entirely on whether courts are willing to grant him presidential immunity. The federal election interference case is currently on hold while the Supreme Court considers the issue, and the Georgia racketeering case would also be affected.
"In arguing presidential immunity should apply to the NY criminal case, Trump wasn't trying to throw out the case," she said Wednesday. "His argument, as @KlasfeldReports has noted, was that the DA shouldn't be able to use evidence of his official acts, including tweets which remains fair game."
"Mr. Cohen, an attorney, received a monthly retainer, not from the campaign and having nothing to do with the campaign, from which he entered into, through reimbursement, a private contract between two parties, known as a non-disclosure agreement, or NDA. These agreements are," according to the tweet.
Former President Donald Trumps' CLOWN supporters and allies went berserk after Judge Juan Merchan ruled the former president can't assert presidential immunity in his Manhattan hush money criminal case, which is scheduled to start later this month.
Aside from the fact that the alleged offenses happened before he even became president, Merchan found Trump had exhausted the window of time when he could even raise such objections.
This comes as Trump has launched a volley of attacks against Merchan and his family.
Merchans' latest order only further inflamed anger from the DANGEROUS MAGA world.
"Judge Merchan thinks he knows more than SCOTUS by refusing to wait until SCOTUS rules on Trump’s presidential immunity claim," wrote MAGA commentator Charles R. Downs. "In his decision, Merchan refers to J6 as an insurrection. Merchan’s anti-Trump bias is quite evident. Trump can’t receive a fair trial in New York."
"HOLY SH*T: In a new filing denying Trump's claims of immunity, Judge Juan Merchan calls Jack Smith's J6 case against Trump in DC the 'FEDERAL INSURRECTION MATTER,'" wrote self-proclaimed "insurrection denier" and political strategist Julie Kelly. "Can someone send this clown a copy of the indictment?"
Mamaaaaa...
Judge rejected Trumps' request to delay hush-money trial until high court rules on immunity
