If he doesn't vacate it means he plans on sentencing Trump to jail. I wouldn't be surprised if Merchan jails him pending appeal. We're talking about 34 felony counts. If he sentences him to home incarceration Trump will still be unable to campaign. Kamala will use his felony sentencing to her advantage using the slogan 'The Prosecutor vs The Convicted Felon'. This is the last plot they have in their playbook besides another assassination attempt like the anonymous secret service whistle blower wrote in that letter.

Illegitimate charges. BS conviction. Trump hating, vindictive judge. This sucks.

I cannot imagine Judge Merchan sentencing him as it would force the higher courts to intervene. With the unsolved immunity issues, I think he’ll agree to a delay just to keep this alive longer.

Can see that. Guessing...that once he sentences and signs off, the case technically is out of his hands. File for appeal, file to lift gag order, etc.

But if he delays sentencing, he keeps control of the case and at minimum keep the gag order in place.

Is that correct? Don’t know.

Trump’s never been convicted of anything before, so if this judge were not a commie prick he would sentence him to probation, but since its Donald Trump and his daughter makes MILLIONS off of being anti Trump, of course he will sentence Trump to jail that is what Harris and her campaign are counting on

No he won’t. He doesn’t care about appeals courts or what they think. They want Trump in jail or as a convicted felon. Such evilness.

Good question, does the gag order end at sentencing?

(I cannot imagine Judge Merchan sentencing him as it would force the higher courts to intervene. )

Why not? The NY Court of Appeals is not Trump friendly. Merchan will hand his sentence of Trump to the media on a silver platter.

That’s the plan. They don’t care if Trump’s conviction all get overturned, as long as he can’t campaign.

At least from home, he can teleprompt campaign. I’m betting they will send him to jail.

Merchan is presiding over a Kangaroo Court. I would say the odds are in favor of Merchan sending Trump to jail.

Just war game this.

What will the voters think? This could backfire on the democrats badly. Proof? Trump has seen a rise in the polls EVERY time he was indicted and the few trial moments he had before the public. Them media could not twist it against him, though they just about died trying.

This could cause him to win by landslide proportions. And he wouldn’t even need to campaign much.

2020 - Biden’s basement campaign

2024 - Trump’s jail cell campaign

My hope is that Americans have the same fear of losing their country to tyranny that I do. If I were an American, nothing would stop me from casting that vote on Nov 6, even if it meant losing my job to do so.

I think that he has option to state Supreme Court in that case as well as the US Supreme Court. I think one or both will act quickly since the Supreme Court's recent ruling undermines this case.

If they tried to do house arrest, Trump would be caged tiger. A martyr. He'd make it work and they and Democrats would regret it.

Reid Hoffman— for one, a demonrat slime mould who backed the crazy biotch sex freak chickie who claimed defamation when she didn’t get a rape bogus claim supported.

I envision a totalitarian US, with all the trimmings like North Korea or the Soviet Union if the Democrats win. That’s very real to me, which is why I don’t personally need to Trump to campaign for me to cast a vote for him if I were able to vote.

I just wish Americans could see the same thing I do if Trump loses.

NO prior convictions-— even in New York state sentencing guidelines they have this as overriding first consideration— ie. no imprisonment for what was and still is a misdemeanor. None of this will wash- because the evidence so called used— is not useable under Immunity ruling of SCOTUS. Ignore those and Merchan is on his way quick back to Colombia and his Cartel pals.
