The state court judge presiding over the New York criminal case against Donald Trump ordered sentencing of the president-elect to proceed on January 10, 2025. By setting sentencing a mere 10 days before his inauguration, and by signaling his intent to sentence the soon-to-be president to an unconditional discharge, the judge has unwittingly conceded the indictment of Trump on 34-felony counts...
On Friday, Judge Juan Merchan entered an 18-page order denying Trump’s motion to vacate the jury verdict and to dismiss the criminal charges Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg brought against him with the help of several Biden-connected lawyers. Quoting the words President Biden used in pardoning Hunter for any crimes his son committed over a span of more than a decade, Trump’s legal team argued “enough is enough.” “This case, which should never have been brought, must now be dismissed.”
Of course, Trump’s legal team is correct: The case was a sham from the start. But Judge Merchan predictably denied Trump’s motion to dismiss, ignoring everything from his own conflicts-of-interests — he donated to the Biden campaign and his daughter held an ownership interest in a company which made millions representing Democrats, including Kamala Harris — to the DA’s improper use of evidence, both in the grand jury and at trial, concerning official acts Trump took while president, in violation of the Supreme Court’s immunity decision.

Election interference is a crime.
Go after Merchan and his daughter. Abuse of power under color of law and election interference are just a start.
ironic the Rats are salivating over the potential stain of criminality

Merchan conspired to thwart a federal election. Cannot he be charged criminally in a red state? Let him defend himself in a dozen simultaneous cases, just like Trump had to do.

It’s all political. Period!
there are ways Im sure to get back at these pukes including family members, make thier lives miserable for years, IRS to start
If any part of the Democrat "brand" has not been tarnished by their lawfare, it's their knee-jerk reaction to overreach on whatever they do.
I see in my Magic 8-Ball some more backlash coming their way.

There must be pushback against these folks or this bad behavior will continue.
NEW YORK POST:
Two major Democratic clients of the daughter of the judge overseeing Donald Trump’s hush-money trial have raised at least $93 million in campaign donations — and used the case in their solicitation emails — raising renewed concerns that the jurist has a major conflict of interest.
Confirmed that Merchan is a corrupt Judge!
But We already knew this!
Once corrupted they never go clean because they are given power to do whoever is filling his pockets with lots of $$$$!
