Manhattan prosecutors on Tuesday agreed with Donald J. Trump’s request to postpone his criminal sentencing so that the judge overseeing the case could weigh whether a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling might imperil his conviction, new court filings show.

It is up to the judge to determine whether to postpone the sentencing, though with both sides in agreement, a delay seemed likely. The judge, Juan M. Merchan, could rule as soon as Tuesday.

This has little to do with the law or the USSC decision ... it’s purely a political calculation.

I rarely post to breaking news. Looks like Trump can attend the convention.

You know Mr Whiplash was FJB’s character in the 3rd grade play back in 1862?

And they know anything they do to Trump will only make him stronger.

In the sense that he has to evaluate the odds that Trump will win in November, then sic the DOJ on him for election interference. Maybe RICO anyone who offers to pay his legal bills.

The report yesterday was that Meathead was having a meltdown, shouting at the TV during the debate.

Maybe off topic, but was he really an actor playing the part of meathead, or is he really a liberal idiot in real life, so he didnt have to really act to play that part?

BINGO, this “agreement” gives Merchan, the Lousy Stinkin POS a way out.

Joey’s Dementia on full display last Thursday threw a Huge Monkey Wrench into the Dem plans for Trump. My guess, the closer the “sentencing” gets to GOP convention the more obvious ELECTION INTERFERENCE becomes. The Dems are frantically painting themselves into an ever shrinking corner.

POPCORN anyone?????

Far too dangerous of a move at the moment. I believe they KNOW if they try to sentence Trump now they will almost DOUBLE his popularity with VOTERS.

Hanoi Jane is longing for the good ol' days of sitting on a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun, making googly eyes at its commander, and ...

No, I won't suggest that she 'serviced' the entire crew. I have no evidence whatsoever that she did such a thing.
