Only one spiteful group wants to see Trump sentenced before inauguration

[Lisa558]

What a mess. America has elected a joke president and has become a joke itself.

That’s true. Democrats harvested enough ballots from gullible fools (“useful idiots” in Marxist language) to put Biden in office. But we’ve corrected that, and Trump will take office in 15 days.

 

[Lisa558]

Yes. I am.....What you are trying to do there is not look at the amount of crime as a percentage of the population, but rather raw numbers....Whites making up the vast majority of people in the US, raw numbers would produce the lie you want to carry forward...But, to get a true picture of crime in the US, you must look at different segments of the population, ie; black, white, aisian, hispanic, etc....While the black population comprises 13% of the overall population, they commit more than 40% of the overall crime.....You don't want to address that....

They always pretend not to understand per capita.

 

[Lisa558]

I know right? Don't worry, Biden will be out in mere days.....

Great minds think alike!

That’s because whites are the majority. But blacks are more likely to commit crime.

Which means you commit more crime, thxs for clearing that up.

Hard to attribute crime to just a single factor. It’s a combination of poverty, growing up in a home and environment that models poor values, and lack of enforcement and punishment.

What do YOU think is the number one factor for crime?

You already said it, POVERTY. There was a time in this country when crime was glorified.

Dang.

Spiteful at the minimum.

Lawfare is what it really has been, all these cases against Trump have been lawfare and nothing more.

​

In what appears to be a bid to ensure that President-elect Trump enters office as a formally convicted felon, Judge Juan Merchan has denied Trump’s post-trial motions and proposes to sentence him next Friday, January 10.​

​

The bait for Trump to agree to this is that Judge Merchan is signaling that the sentence will be a conditional discharge – meaning the president-elect would face no prison time and no post-sentence monitoring (such as probation). Moreover, because the imposition of sentence and entry of the judgment would end the proceedings in the trial court, Trump would be free to commence his appeal of what would be 34 felony convictions on the charge of business-records falsification.​

​

I do not believe Trump will agree to this; instead, I suspect he will seek an immediate appeal on the immunity claims that Merchan conclusively rejected in today’s 18-page opinion and order. It is not surprising that Merchan denied Trump’s immunity claims; he had already ruled against Trump on this point in an opinion issued on December 16.​

​

In prior proceedings, Manhattan’s elected progressive Democratic district attorney, Alvin Bragg, appeared to acknowledge that Trump would likely have a right to appeal an immunity ruling against him prior to being sentenced. That is no doubt why, rather than push for a sentencing date, Bragg’s prosecutors proposed that the case be frozen – held in abeyance while Trump served his four-year presidential term. In that scenario, the case would theoretically to resume in 2029 (when Trump would be 82-years-old) with final presentencing rulings, the imposition of sentence and entry of the judgment of conviction, and the appeal.​

​

In Friday afternoon’s ruling, Merchan rejected that proposal, claiming that he had a responsibility to sentence Trump prior to inauguration, lest what the judge frames as an important public interest in getting the sentencing done were undermined.​

​

It is not clear to me that there is any such public interest. There seems, instead, to be the interest of Merchan – an activist Democrat who contributed to Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign against Trump in violation of state judicial ethics rules – to ensure that Trump is branded a convicted felon while there is still opportunity, pre-inauguration, to make that happen.​

​

Nevertheless, Merchan appears to acknowledge that Trump still has cards to play. The opinion states, for example:​

​

"This Court must sentence Defendant within a reasonable time following verdict; and Defendant must be permitted to avail himself of every available appeal, a path he has made clear he intends to pursue but which only becomes fully available upon sentencing. [Emphasis added.]"​

​

Put aside how precious it is for this demonstrably hostile judge to express his deeply held concerns about the vindication of Trump’s appellate rights. Merchan must interject the word "fully" because, while Trump can only bring his complete appeal based on all claims of error arising out of the proceedings only after sentencing, he should be able to bring a partial appeal now targeted solely at Merchan’s immunity ruling. ​

ANDREW McCARTHY: Only one spiteful group wants to see Trump sentenced before inauguration

Clearly, there is no public clamor to see Trump sentenced prior to taking the nation’s highest office. There is, instead, a spiteful New York progressive Democratic interest in it.

The hunters about to become the hunted.

You already said it, POVERTY.

COMBINED with poor values - like the necessity of higher education and only having children after marriage.

My parents and all their friends grew up in tenement slums, and nobody so much as stole a stick of gum. They went from abject poverty to home owners in the suburbs in 10 years. Married, with kids. In that order.

 

[Lisa558]

The hunters about to become the hunted.

Start with that crop of NY prosecutors and judges who employed North Korean tactics against Trump.

And Garland, too, of course.

 

[toobfreak]

The New York legal system is a disgrace to America. Bragg, James, Engoron and Merchan should all be removed from their positions for dereliction of duty.

This latest action is nothing more than a gift designed to give something, a pebble, for democrats to celebrate so that they can say to themselves: "Well, at least we got Trump on THAT."

A hollow victory over a meaningless conviction.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

COMBINED with poor values - like the necessity of higher education and only having children after marriage.

There are plenty of children that come from single parent homes who have never committed a crime and there are plenty of children that come from 2 parent homes who have committed crimes. You have folks who live paycheck to paycheck, so how do they afford higher education?

My parents and all their friends grew up in tenement slums, and nobody so much as stole a stick of gum. They went from abject poverty to home owners in the suburbs in 10 years. Married, with kids. In that order.

Wow, so all of those families grew up in the slums and NOT ONE soul EVER committed a crime. That has to be a first in the history of America.

Absolutely. These politically motivated prosecutions go all the way up to the Biden White House.

Kangaroo courts enforcing ex-post-facto "laws" are not "Law and order".
Differences in accounting and bookkeeping methods are not normal "felonies".

There are no kangaroo courts, only kangaroo posses of bad citizens,

Are you calling him a “law abiding citizen”? Enough with you leftists venerating assassins and terrorists.

Sod off. Trump will repair most of the damage the geriatric zombie created and he might put his boot up the backside of your war-mongering parliament while he's at it.

What do YOU think is the number one factor for crime?

Poverty.

I caught el midgeton in a stupidity and now he is unhappy.

Simple, don't be a simple.
