DeepSummary
Sean Hannity discusses the ongoing Trump trial related to the Stormy Daniels case. He criticizes the judge for what he sees as biased instructions to the jury, allowing prosecutors to repeatedly claim the payments were campaign violations without being contradicted. Hannity argues the judge has placed 'cinder blocks' on the scales of justice to favor the prosecution.
Hannity expresses skepticism that Trump can receive a fair trial in New York. He believes any guilty verdict will be overturned on appeal due to numerous issues with the judge's conduct and handling of the case. Hannity highlights the exclusion of testimony from the former FEC chairman who stated no crime was committed.
As the jury requests readbacks of specific testimony, Hannity accuses the judge of unconstitutional jury instructions that don't require unanimity on the alleged crime. He predicts the media will be overjoyed with a guilty verdict, while maintaining the case will not impact the 2024 election.
