The bogus judicial cases against Donald Trump have become so tangled that they're starting to interfere with each other.
For some time now the Left has been salivating over the prospect that New York judge Juan Merchan would jail Donald Trump on September 18, before the election. Reports were that a cell in Riker’s was being readied for him and even that he’d be denied Secret Service protection (such as it is) while incarcerated. Not going to happen. The week stated off badly for Manhattan District attorney Alvin Bragg, the prosecutor of that case, when on a hidden camera Nicholas Biase, Bragg’s chief spokesman said, “Honestly, I think the case is nonsense.” (When the video by Steven Crowder’s operative was made public, he claimed he denied he meant it, that he was just trying to impress the woman who taped him so she’d go on a date with him.) Of course, the case contending it was felonious for the way money paid to “hush” Stormy Daniels was reported is, in fact, nonsense. A few days later, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik filed an official ethics complaint against Judge Merchan for refusing to recuse himself despite “his family’s increased financial ties” to the proceedings (His daughter has garnered millions of dollars fundraising on behalf of Kamala Harris.)
That same day Merchan announced he is delaying sentencing until November 26 -- that is, after the election. Because of a need to respond on September 16 to another matter, Trump’s attorneys asked for a delay. Bragg’s office deferred to the Court -- that is, they did not object to any delay, and by letter Merchan responded to Trump’s counsel indicating he’d delay imposition to avoid any appearance “that the proceeding has been affected by or seeks to affect the approaching presidential election

I hope Trump’s DOJ puts Merchan under the microscope.
BTTT
If they jailed Trump, there would have been a billion dollars raised overnight for the Trump Campaign.
merchan has blinked twice
Merchan must think Trump will win!
Has anyone determined if Merchan is a Naturalized Citizen, or is he simply a Permanent Resident Alien.
Both are qualified to be appointed Judge in New York.
ANY investigation into Juan Merchan needs to include ALL FINANCIAL RECORDS associated with his daughter.
I wonder if she committed the same “crimes” Trump was “convicted” of????
Jail Merchan and his daughter and Bragg.
“that the proceeding has been affected by or seeks to affect the approaching presidential election
Whatever gave you that idea, reflection,,,,,
The Dems “convicted felon” narrative was a bust. Actually I think it backfired by showing how the Dems corrupted the justice system.
Free the J6 freedom fighters NOW!
so no jail - no assassination- what awaits us as the Sept-October Surprise? they are saving Cheating,a given and certainly no surprise, for November. ???
“convicted felon”lost its punch when Hunter joined the ranks.
I’m going to continue wearing my “I’m Voting for the Felon” hat anyway. I’ve been getting a lot of compliments and I get to remind a lot of people to vote for Trump!.
There is still Judge Tanya Upchuckin’ in D.C. The crooked judicial system will find some way to make it happen.
When is this country going to face the fact many judges are no longer apolitical? The fix for that would be to require them to be elected, say, every four years. The original thought was if given life time appointments they would stay independent from politics.
His phone tapped and his chambers tapped is enough.
Trump is not going to jail.
The Legislative branch should take great offense at the usurpation of its power and cut the bad actors out of the Judiciary and Administrative branches with a chainsaw. It never does so - largely due to an apparent "gentleman's agreement" between the two major parties to leave each other's picks alone.
