Judge delays sentencing in Trump's New York criminal case, pushing decision past election

Is he talking about his court? Does he really think anybody with half a brain is going to believe that?

 

If he was horribly conflicted and just out to get Trump then wouldn't he have kept sentencing as is and sentenced him to jail prior to the election? Sure, Trump wouldn't serve any time before the election but it could have hurt Trump with voters.

 

He’s getting jail time. Judge doesn’t want Trumps time in the cooler to be considered a politically motivating event.

 

What, specifically, was unfair in his court?

 

The only ones who wouldn't believe it are the deplorables who think the election was stolen

 

No, he probably thinks people with full brains will think that. People with half brains believe whatever Donald Trump tells them to make both himself and them feel better about his being convicted of many felonies.

 

Oh I think the whole Stormy Daniels thing is about as believable as a Spiderman comic book.

 

What in particular is it that you don't believe? That Donald Trump would cheat on his wife? That he would do so with a person who has appeared naked? That he would engage in illegal accounting practices to try to cover it up?

 

The entire story. We all know Stormy Daniels lies she's admitted it, her lawyers have admitted it. Why should we believe anything about this case if we can't believe the details? Then there is Michael Avenatti, no need to go any further.

 

So why do you think Donald Trump chose to falsify business records to pay her then? We have the false business records and his own employees saying that he did that.

 

Good for Dump. Maybe Harris will pardon his pathetic ass to save him the sadness of dying in jail.

 

It is necessary for one to disbelieve these things to preserve the self-image as a good person and vote for such a vile person

 

People with half a brain probably. Trump supporters not so much considering that they lack even that much of a brain.

 

Clarence Thomas for the Defense your honor.

 

Let’s just assume it was false, what exactly was unfair? Trump was represented by a high-power defense team and a jury of his peers, including a Trump voter, collectively decided he was guilty. So I ask again, what was unfair that the court did?

 

I vomited all over my keyboard reading Merchan's ruling. This politically motivated judge has been biased and unfair in using lawfare against President Trump.

Senator Elise Stefanik of New York filed ethics charges against Merchan on Friday morning. By noon, Merchan released this falsely described decision about fairness. Merchan doesn't give a damn about the law or fairness.

Merchan must first rule on the presidential immunity evidence he allowed into the trial which he has not done before he can sentence Trump. The minute he rules, off it goes to higher courts where anything Merchan wants to do concerning sentencing Trump to jail goes out the window in an overturn.

Trump is no more a felon than anyone here with a clean criminal record. This prosecution has been about lawfare with the intent to commit election interference against Trump, the undemocratic party opponent.

This and other lawfare prosecutions far exceed anything ever done in this country. The undemocratic party has led the US completely through being a banana republic into an openly desired one-party system like what they have in China and Russia.

The House is investigating Merchan and his daughter who is a democratic party supporter and donor. To say the least, this could get fugly for father and daughter if what they did involving family money donations and money received goes beyond ethics violations.

 

So upset by how dear leader was being treated you vomited. I believe it.

 

If Trump looks like the winner, I wouldn't be surprised to see him reverse course, rule on presidential immunity, and dismiss the case himself. Why would he want the winning presidential candidate gunning for him with the case still unresolved?

What Merchan has participated in against Trump is at minimum deplorable, unethical, and an abuse of power.
