Merchan Delays Trump Sentencing to November 26

Merchan Delays Trump Sentencing to November 26

Trump: “The Manhattan D.A. Witch Hunt has been postponed because everyone realizes that there was NO CASE, I DID NOTHING WRONG!”

Judge Juan Merchan delayed Donald Trump’s sentencing in the hush money case to November 26 from September 18.

From Fox News:

“The public’s confidence in the integrity of our judicial system demands a sentencing hearing that is entirely focused on the verdict of the jury and the weighing of aggravating and mitigating factors free from distraction or distortion,” Merchan said in a letter Friday.

“Unfortunately, we are now at a place in time that is fraught with complexities rendering the requirements of a sentencing hearing, should one be necessary, difficult to execute. Thus, in accordance with certain of the grounds submitted by Defendant and the reasons for adjournment provided by the People coupled with the unique time frame this matter currently finds itself in, the decision on the [motion] and the imposition of sentence will be adjourned to avoid any appearance – however unwarranted – that the proceeding has been affected by or seeks to affect the approaching Presidential election in which the Defendant is a candidate,” Merchan said.

A jury found Trump guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree.

“There should be no sentencing in the Manhattan DA’s Election Interference Witch Hunt,” stated Steven Cheung, Trump campaign spokesperson. “As mandated by the United States Supreme Court, this case, along with all of the other Harris-Biden Hoaxes, should be dismissed.”

Soviet Show Trial … it took just 30 years after the USSR fell for the commies to take such power in America. Merchan is one of the most dangerous people in America – though there are lots and lots and lots of others who are with him in pushing this Sovietization/Maoist transformation of America.

Most of the population does not seem to realize how close we are to the precipice of an abyss that America has never really contemplated. And yet much of America treats this all so frivolously. Most people don’t even seem to remember that they tried to assassinate Trump just two months ago and that no one has been held responsible in any way and nothing has really been changed since – when the Secret Service, DHS and DOJ should have been turned upside down because of that event.

“These are my principles, and if you don’t like them, I have others.” –

Merchan

Merchan and Bragg and both of their offices all need to be arrested and tried for election interference and abuse of power, along with millions of other charges (charged for every single person in America affected by their crimes). It would probably take 10 or twenty years to put these cases together but they can sit in jail like the Jan 6th people while they await the cases being assembled.

This is what they deserve and what America deserves. If these criminals are not punished for their heinous crimes then America will not make it.

Not because of any actual legal reason. Because they intend to throw him in prison, and to do that now would make Democrats look bad before an election.

And because it would put the spot life on Merchans daughter making over 10 million connected to this travesty

This leaves 2 questions..If Trump wins, then what? Will this Judge try to put an Elected President in Jail? Or shift it to a large fine? Or something softer hoping Trump wont take it to appeal so the Left can continue to claim Trump is a Felon?
Of if Trump loses, Will Merchan throw the book at him as a warning to everyone else to stay out of the pool, lest they too be destroyed.

    Third question. If Trump is found guilty and sentenced, and it is believed to not be legitimate by a plurality or a majority of Americans [not counting foreign invaders] what will be the result?

      If Trump wins, when the ball is back in Merchan’s court, who would he rather anger – the DA or tens of millions of Americans? Aside from the trouble so many people can cause, it only takes one “highly motivated” Trump supporter to conclude Merchan’s part in this story, if you understand what I mean. Is he willing to risk that?

    To question 1 I believe that the Court would suspend the sentence, or something similar, and punt to the next court.

    Politically it indicates the Da are not entirely confident the election will produce the correct result

    “so the Left can continue to claim Trump is a Felon?”
    Why should we care what the hypocrites claim?
    Marion Barry, Alcee Hastings, Buddy Cianci… Democrats continually elect and re-elect actual FELON felons to office.
    So whenever anybody brings up the “felon” BS to Trump, he should look back over his shoulder and give the same evil grin Biden gave his conviction.
    I want to see Democrat heads explode when he does it.

    This is Merchant saving his dinner invitations in NYC. If Trump loses, he can dismiss the case due to the inadmissible evidence and throw it back to Bragg to start the process over, as the primary mission of the charges is complete.. If Trump wins, he can dismiss the case as well, as his decision was not the reason for the win/loss. He could also hand down a sentence, but that would likely prove more problematic in terms of appeals.

I love it when a (blue) plan falls apart.

Oh, wow…

The internal polls must be worse than I thought.

Merchan doesn’t want any more fuel on the fire. He knows this trial won’t survive an impartial review.

    Wasn’t supposed to survive the NY State Court of Appeals, it wouldn’t manage to get there before November.. The lower appeals court could uphold the joke of a trial if needed to drag out the schedule.

In the September date my bet would be a %100 chance Marchan would have Trump booked into Rykers, in November it’s only if the fraud can win out.
There is a decent chance even by that date we still could be seeing the election to be fighting out.
