MSNBC Legal Analyst Has A ‘Man Crush’ On Judge Merchan, Thinks Jurors Do As Well

MSNBC legal analyst Andrew Weissmann confessed that he has a “man crush” on Judge Juan Merchan, who is overseeing Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s criminal case against former President Donald Trump.

Prior to his tenure at MSNBC, Weissmann worked as a federal prosecutor for more than a decade before becoming the general counsel for the FBI. He also worked as the lead prosecutor on Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team, which headed up the bogus investigation into “collusion” between Trump and the Russian government.

While Weissman has often had trouble concealing his disdain for former President Trump, he escalated things to another level on Wednesday when he shared his feelings on Judge Merchan.

“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. The former prosecutor went on to suggest that members of the jury likely feel the same way.

“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.”

Judge Juan Merchan’s numerous connections to Democrat politicians and causes has been well established throughout the duration of the case.

In 2020, the Manhattan judge donated to then-candidate Biden’s presidential election campaign. He also donated to a number of additional progressive and Democrat causes.

His daughter, Loren Merchan, is a prominent Democratic political consultant with Authentic Campaigns, a digital advertising firm. Authentic Campaigns 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.

Despite the numerous compromising political connections, Merchan refused to recuse himself from the case against Trump.

Allegations of political bias have continued as the jury decides on a verdict. Merchan’s jury instructions — which do not require members of the jury to agree on an underlying crime — have been panned by legal analysts.
