#2 I'm sure Merchan will find a reason why this is not important. Even if he has to make one up. Because Trump.

#3 ^ Without a doubt Ed. Additional ammo for the appeal, unless our snoozing Supreme Court take the appropriate 'throw this shi* out' executive action

#4 Au contraire my friends, this is the escape plan for the entire court case. By declaring a mistrial, they escape having to jail Trump. They have seen with devastating clarity that the entire case has been a disastrous miscalculation, boosting Trumps poll number, and the contributions, and making the Outlaw/underdog theme appealing to huge numbers of independents.

By declaring a mistrial, they get to end the wall-to-wall free media coverage, avoid the catastrophic mistake of sentencing Trump to something that will look like election interference, and increase further his dominant lead over their pathetic candidate, and yet be able to keep the "convicted felon" label for MSM repetition ad nauseum!

#5 Au contraire my friends, this is the escape plan for the entire court case.

I agree with NoMo. This is a get-out-of-jail card for the courts. You don't need to be a sophisticated legal mind to see this would eventually be overturned by a higher court. Now, they can claim Trump was convicted of umpteen felonies but the case was dismissed on a mere "technicality".

It is an excellent face-saving move that keeps the story in the news, although they may come to regret that aspect as voters keep wandering off the plantation.

#7 ^ Yes, it would be smart to take the easy out.

Remind me again of previous times this court has proven smart.

#8 I could 'again' be wrong, but I am not certain Judge Merchan's ego would permit such an exit.

#9 51 intelligence officials will soon advise us this this is false and that bellybutton lint is tasty on a ham sandwich.

#10 Ref #8

B.- This is this is lethal hardball on the national stage being played by Swamp Creatures, many of whose very lives and freedom are at risk if Trump wins, and its Too Big To Rig. Do you really think the Judge is immune and unaware of the wishes of the players at that level my friend?
