New York judge adjourns President-elect Donald Trump's sentencing date in hush money case
The judge is allowing the defense to file a motion to dismiss the case and he laid out a briefing schedule.
This was obviously the plan all along.
Bullshit...
I think Merchan would’ve sentenced him had he lost the election.
Perhaps...
Giving him the benefit of the doubt, the pressure was huge. Like the rest of his cases, nobody wanted to be the one who threw an ex-president in jail. However, he instead decided to play chicken to see if his job would get done for him, and it was. Now he gets to wash his hands of it.
Regardless, this is a complete failure of the justice system and he needs to step down or be removed. We don't need biased judges who are too afraid to do their job.
Cool. I think Merchan is a fucking traitor.
Our entire justice system is a kangaroo court.
Just keep sitting on your ass america and let it happen... Just like you're used to...
Hey this is totally fair, it would be the exact same for anyone who became president
/s
Did any of you really think he was going to face any consequences?
I had hoped. But I also hope to win the lotto. And of the two I felt like me winning the lotto was more likely.
Elected or not, I seriously doubted anything would happen. Via he bribes the right people, the people who were literally worshiping him do what they can to get charges dropped, or the whole proceeding would take so long he just dies old age.
any decision about whether the Supreme Court's presidential immunity decision applies to Trump's criminal hush money case.
IANAL but I'm also not a fucking moron - he was a candidate for president, not president. This case has nothing to do with presidential immunity.
On Wednesday, Trump's attorneys argued in a letter to the court that the criminal conviction must be dismissed "to facilitate the orderly transition of Executive power."
The incumbent president has no responsibility "to facilitate the orderly transition of Executive power" but some criminal case judge in NYC does?
