Of all the bogus criminal prosecutions and civil lawsuits that the Democrats have brought against Donald Trump, perhaps the most ridiculous is the New York “hush money” case. In that case, corrupt prosecutors and a corrupt judge colluded, using an unprecedented and incoherent legal theory, to transform Trump’s perfectly legal payment to Stormy Daniels into a felony under New York Law. The jury’s conviction, on charges that the prosecution was literally unable to explain, let alone prove, was a travesty.
Now Judge Juan Merchan, who acted as an agent of the Democratic Party in allowing and furthering this prosecution, has issued an Order directing that Trump appear for sentencing on January 10. Merchan’s order is a political document, and can only be read as such. He actually admits that he is scheduling the sentencing for a week from today because Trump will be inaugurated on the 20th:
Finding no legal impediment to sentencing and recognizing that Presidential immunity will likely attach once Defendant takes his Oath of Office, it is incumbent upon this Court to set this matter down for the imposition of sentence prior to January 20, 2025.

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.
What goes around comes around. What these commies do will get them eventually.
GO MAGA!
i think the judge is allowing Trump to appear virtually
i think the judge has already said it will be an unconditional discharge
like probation but no conditions
will the unconditional discharge also lift the gag order?
i think once Trump was elected
merchan’s sphincter tightened up so much
he was sh*tting diamonds
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.
Bad bet. As I said.
N.Y. appellate judge allows Trump's Friday hush money sentencing to go forward
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.
We should bet. Loser donates $100 to FR.
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.
