Well, the jury who saw the evidence of Trump's guilt believed it, beyond a reasonable doubt.

And their decision is the one that matters, so....

-- A2SG, but you're free to disagree with their lawful verdict, just so long as you realize it don't matter a hill o' beans....
The criminal fraud trial, brought by Bragg not James (civil fraud), did have a jury trial that was presided over by the Honorable Juan Merchan, not by his Honor Ergeron. (the more time passes, the more fuzzy the details become).

The jury did find Trump guilty on 34 counts.

Evangelical voters chose Trump not because of his personal piety, but because his policies on topics like marriage and abortion advance Christian values. How else do you explain liberals accusations of "Christian Nationalism?" Bottom line, we vote of the policies, not the person.

Issue like marriage, abortion, LGBTQ rights, and immigration policies were generally consistent among all GOP candidates in the 2016 and 2024 primaries. For instance, Nikki Haley's pro-life position aligned closely with President Trump's stance, and Mike Huckabee's approach to immigration policy was also similar to that of President Trump.

Evangelical Christians in America had approximately 30 choices in both the 2016 and 2024 GOP primaries, with candidates holding similar policy positions; however, on both occasions, they chose President Trump over all other contenders.

“Honorable “ what a joke!
Flaming a public figure?

Is there any reason for this other than the fact he presided over the trial?

As someone with over 30 years in the IT field, I am puzzled that any administration keeps paper copies of national security information. With today’s technology, classified data can be accessed digitally as needed and deleted remotely, making physical copies unnecessary. Current systems can even prevent printing or photographing such information. That's why reports of President Trump, President Biden, or VP Pence having classified documents at home never made sense to me.

It appears that the practices of the US government in managing sensitive documents lag significantly behind current standards, by approximately 15 years.
Like him/hate him - Elon Musk and his DOGE team exposed that the computers and software the Federal Government uses is decades old.

Worse Than We Imagined’: The Wall Street Journal Drops Scathing Editorial Torching Trump Over ‘Vindictive’ Bolton Raid

The Journal opened its editorial on the matter by observing that “President Trump promised voters during his campaign for a second term that he had bigger things on his mind than retribution against opponents. But it is increasingly clear that vengeance is a large part, maybe the largest part, of how he will define success in his second term.”
Now following the law and facts is referred to as vengeance and retribution? What happened to past liberal cries of no one is above the law? Let’s let the law and facts play out and see who is really is the villain in this political drama.

What evidence do you have to prove that Justice Merchan is not honorable other than his presiding over Trump's criminal fraud trial?
We could start with his ridiculous biased jury instructions. Then we could add his conflicts of interest.

What were these instructions?

What conflicts of interest?

example:

I don't know. Since there was a bill introduced to upgrade the known inadequate computer system in 2023 (before DOGE was a thing) I would say they exposed something already realized.

Speaking of retribution. I guess Trump didn't like what Chris Christie had to say on Sunday TV.

For that crime, Trump considers dredging up more ancient history. NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.

I think the guy giving nods and winks to the LAW to get it to do something is maybe above it.

Can’t or won’t do your own research?

I do my research but it would be pointless for me to try to do yours for you. What I consider to be ridiculous biased jury instructions or conflicts of interest may not be the same as what you do. So, your assertion of having "a provable personal opinion" could use some proof from the person whose opinion it is.

^_^ If you can. ^_^

This was all fine as long as it was directed against Trump. No one is above the law we heard over and over now not a peep from the left. Liberal claims of retribution ring hollow now that the shoe is on the other foot. The hunted is now the hunter. Let the process play out so the American people can see the blatant corruption rampant in Washington. Blood thirsty liberals over played their hand in an attempt to destroy Trump and the result was his second term. The law of sowing and reaping is making a full appearance, enjoy the show.
What a stunning defense of the practice known as “lawfare”!
