The Swamp Strikes Back: Trump Will Be Criminally Sentenced by New York Judge on January 10
PJ Media ^ | 01/04/2024 | Scott Pinsker

What, you didn’t really think The Swamp would slither away on its own, did you?

In what was described by journalists as “an extraordinary turn,” New York Judge Juan M. Merchan announced today that he will move forward with the sentencing of President-elect Donald Trump on Jan. 10 — a scant 10 days before he’s inaugurated as our next president.

In a highly controversial, politically charged court case that dramatically deviated from standard precedent, Trump was convicted of falsifying his business records to hide a 2016 payment to “adult actress” Stormy Daniels. Trump has adamantly denied these allegations, asserted his innocence, and declared his intent to appeal the court’s ruling.

Furthermore, after winning the presidency on November 5, Trump’s attorneys have argued that the case should be thrown out ASAP, due to the unconstitutional “disruptions to the institution of the Presidency.”

According to many legal experts, Trump’s appeal has an excellent chance of succeeding due to the numerous legal irregularities of the case and newer Supreme Court rulings that have strengthened presidential immunity from prosecution.

The only concession Judge Merchan has made, it seems, is to forgo locking up the President of the United States of America. Everything else is on the table.

I guarantee you they’re gonna try to lock him up. President Trump better stick to his promises if he wants to keep the House in 2026 and stay out of jail.

Unconditional discharge, case closed without jail time, a fine or probation. So this is good, it will end it.

And Juan Merchan and Alvin Bragg should be arrested at 12:15pm EST on January 20, on whatever charges they can come up with, and perp-walked on live TV.

Truck bomb attacks are now a threat. We don’t want Trump anywhere near crowds of people or public streets.

They’ll try to use this to not certify the election on January 6th. Anything to stop Trump from taking power.

They’ve already shot at him - gave the greenlight and let the shooter get 150 yards from the target.

Next attack will be with a bomb and likely prior to his taking office. Expect it.

“Criminally sentenced” - meaning its criminal that he will be sentenced

Merchan wants to go down in history as the judge that sent a president to prison. He will be a Hero of the Revolution.

I just think this should be enough for millions of not so crazy Democrats to leave the party.

These people are so warped. Their hatred blinds them to the damage they are causing and have caused . The 44 admin was bad, but, these people are incomparable to anything I could have imagined.
