Well, him and the SS.
They are going to do it
Hochul should step in and stop it.
Why isn’t Clinton with his hush money paid to his ‘woman’?
Time for a constitutional crisis.
Tell Mershon to go to Hell’s Kitchen.

JUST IN - NY judge says Trump will not be sentenced to prison in the hush money case, orders Trump to appear for sentencing on Jan 10th.
Not much different than cartel justice south of the border.
Has this ever happened in US history?? This crazy lawfare sh&@. This is banana republic level with doctor nonsense. Idi Amon would have done this but in America? How far we have fallen.
Must check popcorn supply.
BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA...........
Goodluck judge dipshit!
Never happen.
George Washington would have shoved a bazooka up this guy’s a$$. ( if they had bazookas back then)
Trump should refuse to show up for this nonsense. What’s Merchan going to do about it?
With two terrorist bombings just happening the country has other serious concerns on its mind that it wants the incoming president to focus on.
The case itself - coviction on fraud that was not fraud - will eventually be ovwrturned by SCOTUS.
Will this be used as an excuse not to certify on January 6?
Good. Trump cannot appeal until he has been sentenced.
She won’t.
Here's what that means according to New York law:
Section 65.20 - Sentence of unconditional discharge
1. Criteria. The court may impose a sentence of unconditional discharge in any case where it is authorized to impose a sentence of conditional discharge under section 65.05 if the court is of the opinion that no proper purpose would be served by imposing any condition upon the defendant's release.
When a sentence of unconditional discharge is imposed for a felony, the court shall set forth in the record the reasons for its action.
2. Sentence. When the court imposes a sentence of unconditional discharge, the defendant shall be released with respect to the conviction for which the sentence is imposed without imprisonment, fine or probation supervision. A sentence of unconditional discharge is for all purposes a final judgment of conviction.
N.Y. Penal Law § 65.20
This means the conviction stands until it is overturned on appeal.
