TEXT OF OPENING REMARKS AUDIO - 5-28-2024 - Segment 1.
Hello, America. Mark Levin here. Our number 877-381-3811. 877-381-3811. Two big stories actually three or four tonight. But I want to deal with this trial, so-called, and I want to deal with Iran. But first, what I just posted and I want to elaborate on this. Obviously, I wasn’t in the Manhattan courthouse, but I was listening carefully to what lawyers who I trust from Fox were saying through texts and emails to the reporters who in turn were reading them on the air, as well as those who were watching in the courthouse and spoke directly in front of the courthouse. This judge is a disgusting fraud who has his foot on the defense lawyers throat while he allows the prosecutor to ramble on in every direction, including only now about federal campaign finance laws. And personal insinuations against Donald Trump. As well as suggestions that Cohen’s action can now be inferred onto Trump. That is unconstitutional. But he doesn’t care. He doesn’t care. And you? How could you tell? Ladies and gentlemen, because Robert De Niro, who is an unhinged mad man head case, was there during the closing arguments, making his Genghis Khan speech. And Biden, through reporters, has announced that he’s going to give a formal presidential speech after this trial is over. Clearly a violation of campaign laws, number one. Number two, clearly trying to pretend he’s presidential. And let me just remind you of this. To me, the Trump campaign has one major point to make. Joe Biden cannot fix what he broke and Joe Biden will not fix what he broke. Whether it’s inflation, whether it’s the border, whether it’s our relationship with Israel, whatever it is, Joe Biden broke it and he won’t fix it. That’s why Biden has to go. But let me go on. So he prevents a campaign federal campaign expert, one of the greatest in the country, from testifying. Does the judge. This federal campaign issue didn’t come in until closing arguments. It’s not even in the bill of particulars on the indictment. So that’s you know, there’s so many violations. Of rules, of evidence, of due process, the federal and state constitutions. And so. I can’t even list them. I can’t even list them all. If they claim is he violated a federal campaign law. Which law? What’s the citation? There’s none. And we have Stormy Daniels, who was used to embarrass Trump and spew her hate, nothing more. Michael Cohen, who lives whenever he opens his big mouth, he’s the lead state witness. That’s how preposterous this entire case is. And it is now that did you know the Access Hollywood tape was played today for what? I’ll tell you what in a minute. Exactly what’s going on here. None of this is irrelevant. It’s all intended to create anger and hate against Trump by the jurors, which is an abomination. This character assassination under cover of a so-called justice system is pure Stalinism. One can only imagine what kind of jury instructions this guy is going to. Going to direct the jury to follow tomorrow. Meanwhile, to underscore the political nature of all this, as I said, there’s Biden’s campaign use of Robert DeNiro, a foul mouthed madman. And the White House. Of course, as I said, they’ve announced that Biden is going to give a presidential address. Now as a result of left wing groups. Well, first, let’s remember, this is a non case. No crime. Federal, state or local. Just like the phony financial case, the state misdemeanor having to do with corporate reporting was not violated. The nondisclosure agreement was a legal expense and reported as a legal expense. The misdemeanor statute had already ran and ran away, had already run anyway. As a result of left wing groups filing a complaint with the FEC, claiming the nondisclosure agreement was an illegal federal campaign contribution. The FAA, the FEC, said it was not. As if that wasn’t enough. The Southern District of New York, the U.S. Attorney’s office, took another look at the case. It dropped it. Indeed, it was Cohen who agreed to committing a list of federal crimes, including perjury. The former Manhattan D.A. looked at Vance and he dropped that brag originally. Blow it off. But one of one of Biden’s henchmen was sent in New York to work on the non fraud fraud case and then moved to the non crime criminal case. It was taken up. Then this preposterous theory was concocted. Well, the state misdemeanor statute can be revived if the NDA can be said to have covered up another crime. In this case, a federal campaign violation, which they hid throughout the trial. And their key witness, Cohen, Of course, the D.A. has no jurisdiction over federal campaign matters. The FEC and Southern District of New York do have jurisdiction, but refused to bring charges. So there was no federal campaign violation. That’s why the judge refused to allow Brad Smith, former chairman of the FEC and federal campaign law expert, to testify for the defense as an expert witness who would have fired a fatal legal torpedo into the DA’s case. As he said on three different occasions on life, Liberty and Levin, there was no federal election crime. Which is precisely why the judge wouldn’t let the jury hear from him. And, of course, there’s a lot more. I can’t. I mean, I’d be here all day. The so-called judge in this case, Juan Mershon, is what we used to call a hanging judge. And that is the trial process is nothing more than a formality. In the end, nothing could be said. No evidence can be presented, no witness can alter, and no one justice can prevent the pre-ordained outcome demanded by the judge. At least that’s the judge’s intent and goal. Remember at the crux of all this, this is the key. There has been no evidence that Trump violated federal election law, let alone did so with intent, and for which there’s no reasonable doubt. That’s the test to revive the state law. The state law cannot be revived without proving this. They proved nothing. They didn’t even raise it during the trial because they didn’t want the defense to have an opportunity to shoot a hole through it. Can you imagine? Can you imagine? My hope is there’s at least one juror with the smarts, the guts and the conscience who cuts through the static, the collateral evidence, the judges misconduct, and says no to Mershon, no to brag, no to the Biden regime and no to this horrendous tyranny. Now, this judge was not chosen by a lottery. He was chosen by another Democrat, the top judge in that particular jurisdiction. He’s not a permanent judge. He’s an acting judge. But he was chosen for a reason. This prosecutor Bragg has 34 counts. And technically, if Trump were found guilty of all them, he’d be spending about 120 years in prison. He piled on, piled on, pile on where there was no case. Every invoice he used, every document he could find, he created an indictable offence. An indictable offence. An indictable offence. And yet they hit the ball. As I said, the New York State statute had run the statute of limitations. In other words, it was dead. It is a misdemeanor statute for a corporation. If you put down an expense in one category versus another bid, even there, you need to intend to do so. Trump didn’t put down anything. It was done by others. Any non-disclosure agreement is a contract, hence rationally a legal expense. Premarket to business expense to their one in the same for the purposes of the corporation. That’s the bottom line. Put it down as a business expense. They would have said you should have put them as a legal expense. The point is, it’s all transparent. He put it down where in a public filing. It’s in a public filing. He didn’t hide anything. Or even more to the point, the accountants didn’t hide anything. And so I asked Judge Mershon, what federal statute are you talking about under the campaign law? Which one cited. If you are charged with a crime, you have a right to know what the hell you’re charged with. Which one? We don’t know. Who gets to decide that? A state judge? No. A city prosecutor now a New York jury. Now, none of them. The FEC. Yes. The U.S. attorney’s office. Yes. They didn’t charge. There’s nothing here. This six week trial has been nothing but an in-kind contribution to the Biden campaign. That’s it. But the Democrat Party in New York. It’s an in-kind contribution. A freebie. They bring out all the trash on Trump, the Stormy Daniels, the Michael Cohen, the National Enquirer, all the allegations, all the character assassinations reported day in and day out, day in and day out. You have a Stalinist judge sitting there who’s both dumb and corrupt. Gee, that’s never happened before. Well, look at the old South and the judges there. Look all over the world. You’ve got them all over. Kangaroo court, Starr Chambers. Certainly it happened in America. It’s happening right now, right in front of our eyes. That’s what’s happening. And then, of course, in these these fascists and Marxists or autocratic regimes, they have their press. So they have their Jake Tapper’s. They have their CNN and MSNBC dutifully reporting just as they want. And that’s what we have today. Joe Biden’s in trouble. He’s destroyed our economy, he’s destroying our currency, is destroyed citizenship on our border. He’s destroyed our schools. He’s destroying our industries. He says, I’m done more for union. You’ve done more to unions than you have done for unions. He’s destroyed energy independence. He’s a one man wrecking ball. He’s an arsonist. That’s what he is. In our country, in Israel, other countries. What does he have to point to? Nothing. Absolutely nothing. He’s got eight electric vehicle chargers in the whole country for a half a billion dollars, Mr. Bitzer. Or whatever the amount was. Maybe it was a billion. 2 billion. So what the prosecution let me put it this way, what the Democrat Party’s doing through Bragg and to Mershon is they are throwing everything against the wall. Anything that will convince a juror not to like Trump in a vote guilty, anything. Whether it’s the Stormy Daniels allegations, whether it’s the Michael Cohen allegations, whether it’s The National Enquirer guy, whether it’s this, whether it’s it doesn’t matter. And then we have 34 state statute violations, and now they bring up the all important federal offense and there’s nobody there to challenge it because they bring it up in their closing argument and they go last. The defense can’t even challenge and the judge won’t even allow them to challenge the fact that it’s raised. He keeps dropping the hammer on them over and over and over again. So. We have to hope there’s at least one one juror, maybe one of the lawyers. But if they’re predisposed to Biden into destroying Trump. Well, then that’s where we’ll be. We’ve got a lot more to say. We’ll be right back.
