Trump’s Hush-Money Trial: A Corrupt Kangaroo Court
I am thankful for The Post’s excellent column (“New York v. Don: Ain’t that a sham,” May 26).
There’s nothing true or just about using the courts as a political tool to extirpate an adversary on spurious criminal charges. It’s blatantly un-American. And yet there’s neither resistance nor objection from within the judiciary.
If the firmest pillar of justice fails, it’s only a matter of time before the entire structure implodes. Perhaps that’s always been the goal of the woke Marxist leftists and their handlers who are ardently pursuing the dubious prosecutions of former President Donald Trump.

The Manhattan district attorney’s office has been hijacked by a political hack who seeks to make a name for himself through the criminal prosecution of a former president.
The only way he could achieve this was to partner with a morally bankrupt judge who was also eager to drag his office through the mud to make a name for himself. With every passing day, the Trump trial looked and sounded like something only Orwell could have imagined.

The Trump trial has exposed the world at large to the naked politicization of the US justice system, beginning with Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s campaign platform that blatantly outlined legal action against Trump.
And despite former federal prosecutor Robert Costello’s extensive experience, impeccable honesty and credibility, he apparently was unable to convince the grand jury of the entirety of the truth regarding Trump’s innocence.

The prosecution in the Trump trial has not met its burden of proof, as shown through both the its refusal to call Allen Weisselberg to the witness stand and its attempt to silence former prosecutor Robert Costello.
An innocent verdict would not just be a victory for Trump, but also a stand for justice. A trial like this against a former president, who is also the leading Republican presidential candidate, is an affront to the rule of law.
