I expect Merchan to throw the book at PDJT. I expect him to try and incarcerate him. I don’t think he will be able to help himself.

Nah. Merchan won't do that. He knows there is no point because the election is over. His decision would look both petty and ineffective because it couldn't be executed. He's a biased douchenozzle, but he isn't that stupid. And he certainly wouldn't have gone on the record saying he doesn't anticipate ordering incarceration, then reversing himself.

Everyone knows he can't take Trump into actual custody as the President-elect.

It's over.

i think the judge has already said it will be an unconditional discharge

like probation but no conditions

The man who actually won the Romanian election was on Newsmax yesterday. TPTB there just took it away from him. I felt so bad. The comparison to Trump was clear.

I think they'll slap down the trial court.

Bad bet. As I said.

N.Y. appellate judge allows Trump's Friday hush money sentencing to go forward

Not on this - I thought this motion to avoid sentencing was doomed from the start because it is essential trying to skip steps in the normal criminal process.

I think the merits of the conviction will be overturned, and probably outright reversed. And if the Appellate Division doesn't do it, the N.Y. Court of Appeals probably will.

ok.I wouldn't be averse, but we could be talking up to 3 years before a decision comes down from the Court of Appeals if it gets that far.
