Åklagaren håller jag med om (jag ifrågasatte inte det).
Men att domaren skulle vara tillsatt för att sätta dit Trump är ju helt enkelt inte sant, även om han säkerligen röstar demokratiskt och har donerat lite pengar till D.
Just nu prövas Trump i en annan domstol av en domare som han själv utsett, om jag inte missminner mig. Så det kan slå åt båda hållen. Finns ju också möjlighet att överklaga.
Fanns om jag uppfattat det rätt 9 domare att välja på i det aktuella målet, man valde en domare som aktivt donerat till Biden och Stop Republican mm, och vars familj är djupt insyltade i demokraterna valkampanj.
Mirakulöst nog är Merchan också domare i två andra mål som har politiska förtecken.
Elise Stefanik kräver en utredning varför man utser just Merchan:

Representative Elise Stefanik (R., N.Y.) is demanding an investigation into misconduct surrounding the assignment of Judge Juan Merchan to former president Donald Trump’s criminal trial.
Stefanik filed a misconduct complaint on Tuesday evening with the New York State Unified Court System over the assignment of Judge Juan Merchan to Trump’s “hush-money” criminal trial and other cases connected to Trump.
“If justices were indeed being randomly assigned in the Criminal Term, the probability of two specific criminal cases being assigned to the same justice is quite low, and the probability of three specific criminal cases being assigned to the same justice is infinitesimally small. And yet, we see Acting Justice Merchan on all three cases,” the complaint reads.
“The simple answer to why Acting Justice Merchan has been assigned to these cases would seem to be that whoever made the assignment intentionally selected Acting Justice Merchan to handle them to increase the chance that Donald Trump, the Trump Organization, and Steven Bannon would ultimately be convicted,” the complaint adds.
She is requesting the court system’s inspector general and the New York State commission on judicial conduct investigate Merchan’s assignments. Merchan will also be presiding over criminal cases against the Trump Organization and prominent Trump ally Steve Bannon.
Merchan previously donated to President Joe Biden’s presidential campaign and his daughter is a Democratic strategist whose clients have fundraised off the Trump prosecution. Last week, Stefanik filed an ethics complaint against Merchan based on his partisan allegiances and a potential conflict of interest stemming from his daughter’s career.
