Missouri AG Andrew Bailey: Trump trial an ‘illicit witch hunt,' jury 'a roving commission'



Jurors in former president Donald Trump’s New York hush-money trial have deliberated on whether or not to convict him — and they did.

However, Glenn Beck believes there are some major issues.

“Four of them can say, ‘I think you know he falsified checks,’ whatever they think the crime is because it wasn’t really defined. Even if they don’t agree on the crime, if 12 of them think he committed some crime, well, then he’s guilty. I’ve never heard that before,” Glenn says.

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is in agreement.

“This reeks of desperation by the prosecutor and the judge to obtain a conviction. If people were not previously convinced that this was an illicit witch hunt prosecution, they should be so now,” Bailey says. “This is insane.”

Bailey notes that this violates the Sixth Amendment as well as the former president’s Due Process rights.

“How’s he supposed to know how to offer a defense if he doesn’t even know what the target crime is?” Bailey says.

“It empowers this jury to become a roving commission, and again, that reeks of desperation.”

“That violates the basic constitutional tenets that underpin the Due Process Clause and the Sixth Amendment right to a jury trial,” he says.

What has happened reminds Bailey of a story from the past.

“There was a Roman emperor who used to nail the laws to the highest point on the columns so that the Roman citizens wouldn’t be able to read them. And that’s what this is like. I mean, the judge is saying, ‘Jury, I’m going to charge you to find a crime, any crime you want, and I’m not gonna let you read the jury instructions. Trust me, you guys, just go back and pick something you want to convict him of,’” Bailey tells Glenn.

“How is the jury supposed to apply facts to the law if they can’t see the law in front of them?"

Dershowitz: Proof Trump’s judge is a ‘TYRANT’ with an ‘AGENDA’



Famed attorney Alan Dershowitz has witnessed the hush money trial against former President Donald Trump firsthand — and he is shocked how blatant the anti-Trump bias is.

While attorney Robert Costello was testifying on behalf of the defense, he reportedly committed the crime of raising his eyebrows. For this infraction, Judge Juan Merchan cleared the courtroom of everyone including the media and threatened to strike Costello’s testimony if he raised his eyebrow again.

Dershowitz, for some reason, was allowed to stay.

“I don’t understand how our justice system got to where it is this quickly,” Glenn Beck tells Dershowitz, who is also shocked by what’s happening in the Manhattan courtroom.

“I wish the trial had been televised so that all Americans could see the veins in this judge’s head popping,” Dershowitz tells Glenn.

“Let’s remember this is a judge who was so permissive with the prosecution, he allowed Stormy Daniels to testify that they had sex in a missionary position, that he used a certain kind of deodorant, and that he wore silk pajamas,” Dershowitz says, asking, “How is that relevant to an entry case involving bookkeeping?”

The judge then also imposed restrictions on what other witnesses could say.

“He was allowed to say that he had said on numerous occasions that he didn’t know anything about Trump. But he was restricted from saying many other things. As he has said, he swore to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, and the judge said, 'No I only want a partial truth.'”

When the country’s leading expert on campaign contributions was called as a witness and prepared to testify that there were no illegal campaign contributions, Merchan reportedly said that they could not testify as to whether or not they were illegal or legal.

“This judge has an agenda,” Dershowitz says. “This case is so absurd. In 60 years of practicing, teaching, and writing about criminal law, I have never seen a weaker case — and yet, there might be a conviction because this is a New York jury.”

Though clearly biased, the judge has been putting on a show for this jury.

“He is benevolent when the jury is there. It’s when the jury leaves that he becomes the true tyrant,” Dershowitz explains.

Mar-a-Lago ruling PROVES you CAN'T get a fair trial in a blue state



A New York court has ruled that former President Donald Trump and some of his children have committed fraud for years, in part by inflating the value of Trump's properties.

Glenn Beck has his doubts about the judge's ruling and thinks that anyone in New York should probably start thinking about getting out. “If I were in New York or I were in Washington, D.C., or any of these blue states, I’d be thinking I should probably leave here because I don’t think I can get a fair trial,” he tells Stu Burguiere.

The judge has claimed that Trump overstated the price of Mar-a-Lago, which he said is worth only $18 million, while Trump claimed it was worth much more.

“He did put probably $100 million into that place, and it is also a legacy property. I mean, it’s not going for $18 million,” Glenn says.

Mar-a-Lago is set on 17 acres of prime waterfront real estate in Palm Beach and includes tennis courts, a beach club, a golf course, a croquet court, and a spa.

Glenn notes that while the property may not actually be worth as much money as Trump says it is, it is surrounded by homes that are worth much more than they should be.

“I don’t know if you can get an apartment for $18 million right on the water,” he says.

Stu agrees.

“I’m just guesstimating here, but I mean, a 4,000 square foot house in West Palm Beach has already gotta be $4 million, $5 million,” he says.

Meanwhile, Mar-a-Lago features 126 rooms and is 62,500 square feet, with both sides on the ocean.

“If anybody is in the market for a really huge, really huge house that also has beachfront property on both sides of it, you might be able to get a deal soon,” Glenn adds.
