Body Cams in the Court Room
Segment # 185
The United States took a giant step today toward becoming a third world banana republic. There was a reason why cops have been forced to wear body cams. We needed those body cams today in Judge Merchan’s courtroom when Donald Trump became the first president convicted of a felony. They did not want us to see how all this happened. Both Turley and Dershowitz were in the courtroom. You will see Dershowitz and Turley’s comments below; however, suffice it to say even pundits on the left were wondering how Trump could be found guilty based on his alleged intent to commit a felony as documented by a proven liar, tax evader, and self admitted thief, Michael Cohen. Its simple you need a crooked judge, a crooked DOJ, and a venue where your client has 85% of the voting demographic against him. You have a former chairman of the FEC who would have testified that Trump did not violate any FEC rules that was not permitted to testify. Instead you have a judge who allowed Michael Cohen to be the fact witness on election fraud. And you have a judge that would not permit Bob Costello to testify as to his personal knowledge of Cohen stating to him that Trump did nothing wrong. Bragg campaigned on getting Trump as his promise if elected. Remember also the DOJ declined to prosecute this case but did send a high level (#3) DOJ lawyer to NY to run the Bragg case. So obviously Biden wanted to get his primary political opponent by any crooked means possible.
Judge Marchan’s daughter is a political activist that will make millions for her clients from this verdict. The judge himself is a donor to the left.
If this will be our justify system, you can bet you get crosswise with the elite and you will be quashed like a bug. Why in the hell would anyone want these criminals on the left making decisions that impact our lives. If Biden wins another four years, you can double what happened since 2020.
As we follow this trial we have been told that when a witness is revealed to be a liar you can reasonably disregard everything this witness says as being true. This should be applied to the left’s politicians who have been consistently lying about the border, the economy, healthcare, and our international military operations. They will do anything over the next six months to avoid the accountability certainly waiting for them with a Trump DOJ. Biden and his handlers don’t want an issue based campaign.

Yes, there are mechanisms in place to hold judges accountable for proven bias and conflicts of interest, though the effectiveness of these mechanisms is often debated.
Judicial Codes of Conduct
All federal judges and most state judges are bound by codes of conduct that require them to be impartial, avoid conflicts of interest, and maintain public confidence in the integrity of the judiciary. These codes typically require judges to recuse (disqualify) themselves from cases where their impartiality could reasonably be questioned due to personal biases or conflicts.
Disciplinary Processes
If a judge violates a code of conduct by failing to recuse from a case despite an apparent conflict of interest or bias, they can face disciplinary action. At the federal level, judges can be investigated by the judicial council of their circuit and potentially disciplined or referred to Congress for impeachment proceedings. State judges face disciplinary processes overseen by judicial conduct commissions that can issue sanctions like censure, suspension, or removal from office for proven misconduct.
Impeachment
In egregious cases of unethical or criminal conduct by federal judges, Congress has the power to impeach and remove them from office, though this is an infrequent and difficult process. Impeachment serves as the ultimate accountability measure for federal judges who violate the public trust through bias, corruption, or other high crimes and misdemeanors. However, many argue the existing disciplinary systems lack sufficient transparency and enforcement mechanisms to adequately address judicial misconduct and bias concerns. Calls for stronger ethics rules, more robust disciplinary bodies, and increased public accountability measures for judges continue.
