With the federal cases against President-elect Trump winding down and the Fulton County prosecution in disarray for the foreseeable future, the last gasp of lawfare is in Manhattan.
In the prosecution brought by the borough’s elected progressive Democratic district attorney, Alvin Bragg, Judge Juan Merchan — an activist Democrat who refused to recuse himself and has been hostile to Trump throughout the proceedings — must rule on the president-elect’s post-trial motion to vacate the jury’s 34 guilty verdicts. I won’t rehash the numerous reason why the verdicts should be thrown out (see, e.g., here). Rather, let’s just stick with the issues immediately in front of us: immunity, appeal, potential federal court intervention, and sentencing.
