Gregg Jarrett: “I have a right to say this case was RIGGED…”

Video transcript 4:59

>> Fox News legal analyst Greg Jarrett joins us now Greg you've been helping us through this process confusing we can I still don't understand what the charges are how it was concocted believe that for another day. What does happen next how in the world does this play out in an appeals context. >> Well the word speedy Pete is not in the vocabulary of the New York Court of Appeals, I mean you can't even file an appeal until after the sentencing as you point out July 11 even then I mean the next level of pellet division is really a rubber stamp for judge one more shot same thing with the highest court which means that Trump's only real relief in this case can be found in the federal courts because those judges who are a lot smarter actually care about the right to a fair trial and in this case it's littered with reversible errors by judge more Sean especially due process violations refusing to tell the defendant what this secondary conspiracy crime is that ignores Trump 6th Amendment right and then telling the jury don't worry about unanimity on which of the 3 possible uncharged crimes that are a predicate to your verdict. I mean that is so shocking such a bedrock constitutional right. But the legal theory itself was ludicrous as you say nobody really knows what they decided other than the verdict and expired misdemeanor that comes to life thanks to an unidentified felony over which Alvin brag has no authority to enforce as I said in a column this was an Alice in Wonderland case with a Mad Hatter judge. >> Yeah, Greg I'd love to ask you 2 quick questions if I could you point out his only real relief would come in the federal system, no chance in the state system you would assume in New York, but even in the appellate system Greg I would be very skeptical he find relief in the Second Circuit Court of Appeals it really wouldn't come I would think before the Supreme Court of the United States unless he gets relief at the Supreme Court, I can't see where would will come. >> I think he has a pretty good chance in the lower appellate federal courts. But you're right. Well ultimately this you know could go to the U.S. Supreme Court, I think they would look very dimly at the actions of judge one more shot fair trial. And a you know a venue of his peers that didn't happen here. And as I pointed out these due process rights are are so important and they were so graciously violated I can't see this case surviving judicial scrutiny in the federal court. >> And it's interesting the White House is already trying to lay the groundwork for somehow you're an American or maybe it's even taboo to say anything about how this was unfair they kind of want to make it like the same way it was with the last election where you know you're an insurrectionist if you suggest that things were not on the up and up. I find that very interesting, but I think the number one question that I've been getting from other people they they think I know the answer I don't. So I'm going to ask you which is is there a chance that Donald Trump will be either on heist House arrest or put in jail. I heard David Axelrod talking about this on Bill Maher show as well. What it what do you think. >> No, I don't think so first of all you it's almost automatic that you get a stay of any sentence pending an appeal. But in this particular case, you know it is the lowest level felony. It was actually one crime that they decided to count stack by multiplying the number of invoices and vouchers in the case that kind of count stacking no honest ethical prosecutor would ever do it. No judge who was fair or competent would have allow it which you know excludes one March on. As your other point, I mean Biden and the Biden administration saying you can't criticize this decision. This coming from a president who more than any other president has trampled on the rights of free speech and is shredded the first amendment remember, you know, this is you know Biden was the guy behind the censorship on social media. Of course, I have a right everybody else has a right to say this case was rigged it was preordained it was not fair. And I don't care how much Joe Biden complains about that the Constitution protects us in our criticism of this case and this judge. >> Yeah, Greg Jarrett, thank you so much. Thank you Greg.

Posted 48 hours after Trump's historic 34-count felony conviction, this brief post amplifies Fox News commentator Gregg Jarrett's assertion that Trump has a right to call the trial RIGGED. The format (quote + video, business hours, no original prose) suggests aide curation with possible Trump directional input on the ALL CAPS word choice. The psychological state is consistent with a vulnerable narcissistic posture following massive narcissistic injury — persecution narrative, delegitimization of accountability institutions, and supply-seeking through proxy validation rather than direct self-assertion. The proxy technique is rhetorically sophisticated: outsourcing the claim to a credentialed ally creates apparent independent corroboration while fully preserving the message and insulating the poster from direct accountability. Jarrett's rights framing elevates the grievance from sentiment to principle. The rigged claim is factually unsupported; the trial followed standard legal procedure. The broader pattern of systematic judicial delegitimization post-conviction constitutes an elevated danger indicator through institutional trust erosion, though this specific post contains no violent imagery or direct stochastic terrorism markers. Epistemic closure is fully operative — followers receive exclusively pro-Trump interpretive frames.

Fact Checks (1)
"The case was RIGGED"
Mostly False

The trial followed standard New York legal procedure. Jury selected through voir dire with participation from Trump's own defense counsel. Conviction was unanimous across all 34 counts. Allegations of judicial bias (Judge Merchan's political donations) were litigated; recusal was denied. While 'rigged' is partly a political characterization, its deployment as factual description contradicts observable procedural facts.
