The evidence of Merchan's preexisting bias and conflict of interest is...


...overwhelming based on 1) his party affiliation, 2) his contribution to Trump's opponent and 3) his daughter's lucrative work on Democrat campaigns, which are directly related to this trial. Recusal was a no-brainer -- and this is based on the law in New York governing trials, not simply common sense and legal ethics -- but recusal would interfere with the election interference and Trump railroad, so he stayed on the case.

That aside, while the pre-trial facts are damning enough, his conduct during the proceeding is what demonstrates the unfairness of the trial, from his rigged jury questionnaire, to his allowing obviously unqualified jurors to be seated, to his refusal to consider motions, to his allowing the DoJ and Bragg to coordinate to withhold discovery material, to his laughable and unconstitutional gag order, to his prohibition of Trump witnesses, and so forth.

So, I am not merely calling people names -- I have irrefutable evidence to back up my characterization of this show trial.
