TRUMP CAN GET HIS MILLIONS FROM HIS CORRUPT LAWYERS BACK! FT analysis of Blanches corruption offers the Trump family all it needs to prosecute Blanche, Bragg and Merchan for rigging his hush money trial for political puprposes

FT DESCRIBES IN GRAINY DETAIL THE CORRUPTION OF BLANCHE AND BRAGG WHILE SPINNING THE CORRUPTION AS MERE ETHICAL LAPSES OR MERE DETAILS

MAKING FAIR VALUE USE OF THE FT ARTICLE, BELOW ARE THE MAIN POINTS SHOWING THE FALSE AND MISLEADING COMMENTARY OF THE FT TO HIDE THE CORRUPTION OF TRUMP S LAWYERS TO ALLOW AN EGREGIOUS MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE NOT JUST TO PROCEED TO TRIAL BUT TO A CONVTION AND SENTENCING 

THE CLEAREST PROOF THAT BLANCHE AND BOVE WERE AND ARE BRIBED IS THAT NO APPEAL WAS FILED TO OVERTURN THE MAY VERDICT 

NO CRIME WAS ALLEGED BY BRAGG FROM THE VERY BEGINNING

THERE CAN BE NO TRIAL WITHOUT A CRIME

BLANCHE AND BOVE ONLY FOCUSSED ON DELAYING THE SENTENCING, LEAVING THE CORRUPTED CASE IN THE SAME COURT AND THE VITAL DECISION IN THE HANDS OF THE CORRUPTED JUDGE

THE FT LISTS POINT AFTER POINT OF HIS TEAMS CORRUPTION

FOR EXAMPLE, BLANCHE AND BOVE DID NOT DIGITALIZE KEY COURT DOCUMENTS AND PUT THEM ONLINE FOR THE PUBLIC TO SEE AS THEY COULD HAVE DONE AND SHOULD HAVE DONE BECAUSE THERE WAS NO OBLICATION TO SECRECY PRECISELY TO ALLOW THE CORRUPTION TO CONTINUE.

BELOW A RUNNING COMMENTARY ON SOME OF THE MAIN POINTS SHOWING THE CORRUPTION OF BLANCHE AND BOVE

THEY HAVE BEEN BRIBED

THEIR ACTIONS SHOW IT

THEY HAVE BEEN BRIBED BY THE PROSECUTION, THE NY AG, THE DEM PARTY

THAT IS A SERIOUS FELONY OFFENCE

THERE IS A PATTERN IN THE GREEK PROSECTOR PROBES SHOWING THE DEM MEGA DONOR GEORGE SOROS BRIBED LAWYERS TO ESCAPE PROSECUTION

BLANCHE S ACTIONS DESERVE PRISON IF WE READ AN FT ANALYSIS AND STRIP IT OF ITS SPIN

AT THE VERY LEAST, HE SHOULD PAY BACK THE TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO TRUMP

MELANIA SHOULD TAKE OVER ALL THE CASES AND ORGANIZE THE DEFENSES, THE FILINGS AND THE DIGITALIZATION OF THE PROCEEDINSG AND PRESS RELEASES SO THE PUBLIC CAN SEE WHAT IS GOING ON

THEIR FIRST FILING CAN BE CRIMINAL AND CIVIL CHARGES AGAINST BLANCHE AND BOVE USING THE FT S POINTS STRIPPED OF SPIN

THE TRUMPS MUST SIGNAL THEY WILL NOT ACCEPT THEIR DESTRUCTION AND FALSE CONVICTIONS AND FINES USING VERDICTS ACHIEVED ONLY BY CORRUPTED LAWYERS

MELANIA, THE TRUMP FAMILY CAN DRAFT CRIMINAL CHARGES WITH THE KEY POINTS AND GET IT REVIEWED BY OTHER LAWYERS WITHOUT GIVING ANY OF THEM POWER OF ATTORNEY

MAKE SURE THEY FILE THE CHARGES AS A PARTY TO GET COMPENSATION FROM BLANCHE AND BOVE

THEY CAN FILE THE CHARGES THEMSELVES IN A CRIMINAL CASE RINGING THE COURTS TO FIND OUT THE FILING PROCEDURES

THEY CAN SEND OUT PARALLEL PRESS RELEASES

IN PRIVATE, THEY CAN TELL BLANCHE AND BOVE, REPAY THE MILLIONS IN FEES THEY HAVE DEFRAUDED FROM THE TRUMPS FOR SERVICES NOT RENDERED AND WHICH THREATENED TRUMP S VERY LIFE IN PRISON OR FACE PRISON THEMSELVES

THEY CAN USE THE GREEK PROOFS TO SHOW A PATTERN OF BRIBERY BY SOROS, DEM CLIQUE


CONFLICTS OF INTEREST 

BRAGG AND BLANCHE WERE COLLEAGUES  PROVIDING THE OPPORTUNITY FOR BACK CHANNEL AND INFORMAL COORDINATION TO ENABLE THE CORRUPTION

Bragg, who attended Harvard Law School, became the first African-American elected to the position of Manhattan DA in 2021, pledging in his campaign to go after Trump. Blanche knew him well when they were both line prosecutors at SDNY. As is common, they occasionally sat in on each others’ trials and had a cordial, if not particularly close, relationship. A self-confessed “collar-stay fanatic”, Blanche would regularly hand out the little plastic inserts to colleagues whose sartorial standards he found lacking. Bragg, according to former SDNY employees, was a grateful recipient on repeat occasions.

NO CRIME WAS ALLEGED OR CRYSTALLIZED IN THE INDICTMENT 

YET BLANCHE NEVER FILED A MOTION TO DISMISS THE TRIAL GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE SUPREME COURT BECAUSE THERE CAN BE NO TRIAL WITHOUT A CRIME

THE CASE SHOULD NEVER HAVE GONE TO TRIAL

IT WENT TO TRIAL BECAUSE BLANCHE FAILED TO FILE THE PAPER WORK TO STOP THE TRIAL AND WENT ALONG WITH THE LIE THAT THERE COULD BE A TRIAL WITHOUT A CLEAR CRIME

For a start, the indictment provided almost no detail on the underlying crime which Trump was alleged to have committed by obscuring the payments to Daniels. 

THE PROSECUTORS CANNOT BUILD A CASE WITHOUT A CRIME BEING SPECIFIED  YET BLANCHE ALLOWED THEM TO DO SO

This lent the prosecution greater flexibility in building a case based on federal campaign finance law, say, or an obscure bookkeeping statute and complicated the defence’s preparation. 

SUCH VAGUENESS IS NOT LAWFUL

IT IS A SIGN OF CORRUPTION AND POLITICIZED LAWFARE

NO CRIME IS A FUNDAMENTAL FLAW MAKING THE TRIAL ILLEGAL

 BUT BLANCHE FAILED TO FILE LEGAL ACTION TO HALT THE TRIAL IMMEDIATELY, SPINNING IT AS AN ETHICAL AND NOT LEGAL PROBLEM THAT THERE WAS NO CRIME SPECIFIED AND THE CASE AGAINST TRUMP WAS SO VAGUE

Even if such vagueness is entirely lawful, Blanche was convinced it fell short of a public prosecutor’s ethical standards.

BLANCHE ALLOWED THE TRIAL TO PROCEED IN OBSCURITY APPARANTELTY  PRECISELY SO THAT THE BROAD PUBLIC WOULD NOT REALIZE THE SCALE OF THE LAWLESSNESS, HELPING THE CORRUPTION TO CONTINUE

VITAL DOCUMENTS WERE ONLY ACCESSIBLE IN PAPER FORM AND NOT DIGITAL FORM DESPITE THE PUBLIC INTEREST ISSUE

Worse, the historic case was proceeding in almost complete obscurity. Unlike federal court, which has an online filing system available to the public, case documents in New York’s courthouse are kept in manila folders in the clerk’s office on the 10th floor. Anyone wishing to access filings has to request the papers be temporarily handed over, only to sift through hundreds of pages that have long ceased to be in proper order. 

INTRANSPARENCY IN THE COMMUNICATIONS BETWEEN THE JUDGE AND BLANCHE AND BRAGG 

Sometimes, crucial correspondence between the parties and Justice Juan Merchan, who was assigned to the case, would not make it into the folder for several days.

HOW DID BLANCHE TRY TO FORCE TEH COURT TO ADHERE TO THE STANDARD PRACTISE OF A DIGITAL VERSION FOR A PUBLIC INTEREST CASE AND FAIL

 Blanche and his team tried to force the court to establish a digital version, but failed.

BLANCHE COULD HAVE DIGITALIZED HIS OWN COPIES AND PUT THEM ONLINE FOR THE PUBLIC TO SEE

THERE IS NO  OBLIGATION TO SECRECY

Then there was the matter of the Manhattan jury pool, which would be overwhelmingly and, Blanche felt, unfairly biased against Trump. “We know that . . . you take it out of literally the most anti-Trump — except for maybe some places in California and Washington, DC — the most anti-Trump place in the United States of America and you don’t get a conviction,” he says. Even if the trial were moved a few miles away to the Trump-supporting borough of Staten Island, Blanche contests, an acquittal would have been likely.

BLANCHE SPINS AS MODERATE TONE HIS TOTAL FAILURE TO DEFEND TRUMP ACCORDING TO PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS

THIS IS NOT A QUESTION OF TONE

IT IS A QUESTION OF BLANCHE ADHERING TO THE LAW AND CALLING OUT THE IRREGULARITIES WITH PROFESSIONAL AND CALM ACCURACY

Blanche had chosen to strike a comparatively moderate tone in his comments to the press, emphasising that he respected the judge and the judicial process, and avoiding Trumpian terms like “witch-hunt” and “rigged”. Cohn’s behaviour on the courthouse steps, he might have pointed out, had contributed to a rule change, barring attorneys from prejudicing proceedings by holding forth in front of limestone porticos in Lower Manhattan.

BLANCHE  ENCOURAGED TRUMP TO SIT IN THE COURT AND DISENGAGE AND SLEEP THROUGH THE CORRUPTION

People familiar with the inner workings of the defence said Blanche offered his client a deal. He would not try to limit what Trump said about the case on social media or on TV, but he would otherwise do things his way. This détente extended to the courtroom. Blanche did not tell Trump, who often sat for hours at trial with his eyes apparently closed, to stay more alert in front of the jury. When a court officer called Blanche over at one point and instructed him to tell Trump to stop using his phone in court, Blanche replied: “You tell him.”

IT WAS NOT FOR BLANCHE TO DEFEND INCENDIARY SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS BY TRUMP 

IT WAS UP TO BLANCHE TO LAW OUT THE REASONS WHY TRUMP S CRITICISM OF CONFLICTS OF INTEREST WERE JUSTIFIED COOLLY

As the trial went on, Blanche’s relations with the court nonetheless began to fray. At one point, in an extraordinarily unusual move, Justice Merchan warned Blanche that he was “losing all credibility with the court” by defending incendiary social media posts made by Trump. Such dressings-down did not diminish Blanche’s standing with his client, who was never more delighted than when he thought his lawyer was fighting back against the “corrupt” system.

BLANCHE S TEAM COMPRISES A NAT SECURITY UNIT AG OF THE SDNY AND A MITCH MCCONNELL AIDE 

Blanche had assembled a small team, working out of a war room set-up at Trump’s 40 Wall Street property, a short walk from the courthouse. It was staffed by outsiders like himself. There was Emil Bove, who had grown up in remote upstate New York and excelled at the public university in Albany before rising within the SDNY’s National Security Unit. Bove, dour and detail-obsessed, was one of the few attorneys who had deep expertise in the Classified Information Procedures Act, which Trump was separately accused of running afoul of in Miami. And there was Kendra Wharton, a Louisville, Kentucky native and former aide to Mitch McConnell, the US Senate minority leader. Wharton had also put herself through Georgetown Law while working on the Hill.

PROOF THAT A CRUCIAL CONVERSTION DID NOT HAPPEN WAS BURIED 

The conversation was crucial to the prosecution, because it directly tied Trump to the hush-money scheme. What interested Wharton was the fact that she had never heard Cohen mention this conversation before, despite the team having collectively pored over hundreds of hours of tape and pages of transcripts.

Wharton began going through Cohen’s phone records from the 24th, only to make a startling discovery. The call in question, placed to Trump’s bodyguard, Keith Schiller, who was with Trump and could pass the phone to him, appeared to have been about another matter entirely. That evening, Cohen had texted Schiller about a series of harassing phone calls he had received. Later, Cohen called him, and they had a conversation that lasted one minute and 36 seconds. Afterwards, Cohen texted Schiller the number of the person making the calls. Wharton thought it was impossible for Schiller to have discussed the harasser and pass the phone to Trump for Cohen to brief his boss, all within 96 seconds.

TRUMP WAS DISCOURAGED FROM GIVING TESTIMONY IN HIS OWN CASE BY BALNCHE

And despite having repeatedly vowed to do so, Trump had been talked out of testifying by Blanche and others, who gingerly pointed out that his previous appearances had not helped.

BLANCHE ENCOURAGED TRUMP TO THINK THAT A POLITICIZED NY JURY WOULD BE ABLE TO CONVICT HIM REGARDLESS OF THE LAW

HE DID NOT FILE AN APPEAL AGAINST THE VERDICT IMMEDIATELY

After the trial, Blanche fell into a funk. For his part, the former president reacted to the verdict in the same way that he had greeted the indictment, affirming his belief that a New York jury was never going to exonerate him. If Trump was maligning his defence team behind their backs, or blaming Blanche for the defeat, word never reached the exhausted lawyer. Neither did a dismissal.

MERCHAN DELAYED THE SENTENCING IN A SURPRISE MOVE FOR BLANCHE 

Still Merchan’s decision came as a surprise. The delay, which the judge said he made to “dispel any suggestion” of political bias, means Trump will no longer face any significant criminal proceedings before Americans go to the polls. It also means the years-long efforts by state and federal prosecutors to bring Trump to justice has been temporarily thwarted by persistent lawyering.

TRUMP S HARANGUE OF HIS OWN LAWYERS IN A PRESS CONFERENCE MAY HAVE BEEN THE REASON WHY MERCHAN DELAYED THE SENTENCING

WHEN TRUMP REALIZES HIS LAWYEERS ARE BRIBED, THE GAME IS UP

BRIBERY OF A LAWYERS IS A SERIOUS, FELONY CRIMINAL OFFENCE

Soon after the postponement was announced, Blanche told me the ruling was “a step in the right direction”, emphasising that until the verdict is overturned, “we aren’t there yet”. Trump, who hours before Merchan’s order had publicly harangued his lawyers in a bitter press conference, is far from being in the clear, and is still on the hook for more than half a billion dollars thanks to judgments in civil fraud, sexual abuse and defamation lawsuits. 

TRUMP S LAWYERS ARE DOING NOTHING TO FILE THE APPEALS, EVIDENCE TO GET THE CASES BACK ON TRACK AND WAITING TO SEE IF HE LOSES IN NOVEMBER TO CONTINUE WITH THEIR POLITICAL HATCHET JOB

A loss in November could bring several criminal cases roaring back, and with Kamala Harris leading in several crucial swing states, the presidential race has become existential for him. As one of Trump’s lawyers conceded in a candid moment: “If he loses, we’re fucked.”
