What was the outcome of Trump's NYC business records trial?
Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east. Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show and happy Friday. Well, the Democrats finally got what they wanted, or so they think. Donald Trump is now officially a, quote, convicted felon. He's also our next president. So you should probably include that term in your celebratory smashes of the football on the left. I mean, great. And by the way, one of the reasons he is going to be our next president is because of all this nonsensical lawfare. So go ahead. I think it's the ultimate Pyrrhic victory. In a New York City courtroom this morning, Judge Juan Merchan handed down the sentence of an unconditional discharge to President Trump. This means no jail time or any other punishment, and many believe the conviction will eventually be thrown out on appeal. It will be thrown out on appeal. Mark my words. it's going to be thrown out on appeal.
It actually stands a very decent chance of being thrown out by the New York appellate court right above this guy, Mershon. And I believe the New York State Court of Appeals, this is eventually going away. So enjoy it while you can. You can say convicted felon right after you refer to him as Mr. President. And it will be a limited period of months. And then it will get reversed. And so will that label. And you helped get him elected. So with this lawfare, I hope that makes you feel good at night. Like, I'm not exactly sure why the Democrats feel so smug about this. None of this stopped the prosecutor of Donald Trump in the New York State Supreme case, Joshua Steinglass, from droning on. This man is ridiculous about just how terrible of a man he thinks Donald Trump is.
Watch.
The defendant's conduct before, during, and after this trial also merits consideration. Instead of preserving, protecting, and defending our constitutionally established system of criminal justice, the defendant, the once and future president of the United States, has engaged in a coordinated campaign to undermine its legitimacy. Far from expressing any kind of remorse for his criminal conduct, the defendant has purposefully bred disdain for our judicial institutions and the rule of law. Such threats are designed to have a chilling effect, to intimidate those who have the responsibility to enforce our laws. Put simply, this defendant has caused enduring damage to public perception of the criminal justice system and has placed officers of the court in harm's way. Sentencing the defendant permits this court to enter judgment, to cement the defendant's status as a convicted felon.
And that's what it was all about. The nerve of this guy to say it's Donald Trump who caused damage to the institution, to the court, to the justice system with his reaction to this case. The absolute nerve. Talk about putting the cart before the horse. You, sir, are to blame for all of that. You, Donald Trump, called it out for the joke, the absolute insulting joke of a proceeding that it was. You caused the lack of trust in an institution that had been mostly previously respected. Even President Biden, when he pardoned his son Hunter, called out how he doesn't trust the justice system. So please spare me. This whole thing was rushed to sentencing by a judge who was determined to be able to call Trump a convicted felon for that reason only, because it's been about politics from the start. These... Losers wrapping themselves in sanctimony. Alvin Bragg was out there. The will of the jury must be heard, must be done. Who am I to interfere with the jury process? The judge too.
We're just like public service servants who have to do what the jury said. Otherwise, it'd be a real insult. Give me a break. You two orchestrated this from the beginning. You've been working hand in hand to make sure you could just get this label on him. You wanted it so much earlier. I know, sweethearts. It was so important. You desperately wanted it earlier so that maybe it could affect the election. But you failed. You got your conviction. No one gave a shit. Even the left wing media recognized that this case was a joke. So you failed utterly in doing anything other than creating sympathy for Donald Trump and making yourselves look like idiots. And then rather than just saying like, let's walk it back.
