In a bizarre and disturbing segment of MSNBC, legal analyst Andrew Weissmann admitted he had a “man crush” on Judge Juan Merchan, who is overseeing Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg‘s criminal case against former President Donald Trump.
Weissmann was a federal prosecutor for over ten years before becoming FBI general counsel.
He was also lead prosecutor on Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team, which headed the bogus investigation into the Russia/Trump Hoax “collusion,” which wasted millions of dollars of taxpayer money.
While Weissman often has trouble hiding his disdain for Trump, his feelings for Judge Merchan appear to be bordering on “fanboy” territory.
“With, as you’ve noted, with respect to Judge Juan Merchan, I mean, I am like now, you know, I felt like a man crush on him,” a giggling Weissmann declared.
Watch
He even claimed that members of the jury likely feel the same way.
Really?
“He is such a great judge that it’s hard to see that the jurors wouldn’t have the same impression,” he said.
“And he’s just, you just keep on thinking, if you looked in a dictionary for, like, judicial temperament, that’s what you get.”
Merchan’s numerous connections to Democrat politicians are well documented.
In 2020, the judge donated to then-candidate Biden’s presidential election campaign and to several additional progressive and Democrat causes.
Merchan’s daughter, Loren Merchan, is a prominent Democratic political consultant with Authentic Campaigns, a digital advertising firm.
The firm serves a number of the nation’s most prominent Democrats, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and the Biden-Harris campaign.
So not biased at all?
Merchan refused to recuse himself from the case against Trump, despite his obviously compromising political connections.
Meanwhile, critics are overwhelmingly pointing out the obvious political bias within the case.
Merchan told the New York Supreme Court that he would only need four out of twelve jurors to agree that Trump was guilty in order to sentence him to four years in prison.
“There is no need to agree on what has occurred,” said Judge Merchan.
“They can disagree on what the crime was among the three choices. Thus, this means that they could split 4-4-4 and the judge would still treat them unanimously.”
