Supreme Court Denies Trumps Delay In Sentencing On Friday

I did not say the case was closed. I said the persecution was already done.

The petition to the SCOTUS was to delay sentencing until the Interlocutory appeal could be heard. That is all it was.

Due Process.

No, he filed a motion to vacate based on immunity, and that motion was denied. That denial is subject to interlocutory appeal, and the appeal had not been heard.

What he filed with the SCOTUS was a petition to stay sentencing until the appeal could be heard.

"APPLICATION FOR A STAY OF CRIMINAL PROCEEDINGS IN THE SUPREME COURT OF NEW YORK COUNTY, NEW YORK, PENDING THE RESOLUTION OF PRESIDENT TRUMP’S INTERLOCUTORY APPEAL ON PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY"

It says no such thing.

"The application for stay presented to Justice Sotomayor and by her referred to the Court is denied for, inter alia, the following reasons.

First, the alleged evidentiary violations at President-Elect Trump’s state-court trial can be addressed in the ordinary course on appeal.

Second, the burden that sentencing will impose on the President-Elect’s responsibilities is relatively insubstantial in light of the trial court’s stated intent to impose a sentence of “unconditional discharge” after a brief virtual hearing.

Justice Thomas, Justice Alito, Justice Gorsuch, and Justice Kavanaugh would grant the application."

Yes, he is likely to prevail on appeal, but that does not undo the fact that an appeal (that he has a right to) was denied him.
He is not.likely on prevail on appeal, for the same reason his legal arguments failed the first time.
 
You seem to have a short memory. Of the dozens of lawsuits, and appeals where Trump was trying to block the release of his income taxes. Working all the way to the US Supreme Court, who in every case they ruled on, or refused to hear, said that the subpoenas for them were proper.

Proof that the attempts by Trump to prevent the release of his taxes that Trump said he would do in 2016, shows why the case was delayed.

Had Bragg had Trumps taxes in 2018, he would have brought the case as soon as Trump left office.
Trump's taxes were not used in the case. There was no evidence introduced that dated post-2018.

Fail.
 
Now listen, all you trumpanzees and this incessant lamenting the decline of the US justice system all because some fat born-with-a-silver-spoon-in-his-mouth glorified fucking landlord feels the world has been cruel to him and is always picking on him.

He's a grown man and he should act like one rather than a petulant entitled slob.

Why don't you all go and study law and save the United States, make it your life's goal to right all the wrongs done to poor Donald and save the United States while you're at it.

Everything that happens to Trump he has brought upon himself, he's nothing but a trouble maker and that's what he's doing with Greenland and Canada and Panama - making trouble and you idiots mistake that for industry and leadership - it's all bullshit, just making trouble for trouble's sake.

The sycophancy here is making me want to puke.

You asked a question and got an answer.

A polite one, btw.

If this country is so intolerable to you, you should leave. I think you have worn out your welcome anyway...

Right and I then made a statement which was unrelated to any question, it was not a reply to any question.

If my remarks elicit disapproval from you then you should leave.
I think you have worn out your welcome anyway...
I have no desire to receive a welcome from trumpanzees, their approval is the last thing I would want.

Fail.
The business records case was based on Trumps taxes, and the filing of the payments to Cohen as "business" legal expenses as reflected on Trumps taxes.

That lead to tracing the tax return information to the business records they were based on.

Wrong. The records were from Trump's accounting software. Invoices from Cohen and personal checks from Trump that were produced in discovery.

In fact, those very records were used to prosecute Cohen in 2018.

There were no tax documents introduced, and no claim that Trump even expensed the payments to Cohen on his taxes.

They were simply entries in his books made by his accountants, and they were perfectly legitimate entries.

As I said, Trumps taxes lead to the falsified business records. Just because Bragg used the evidence from the federal Cohen case, doesn't mean he didn't find similar evidence from following Trumps taxes.

It's no different than using one search warrant, that collects evidence, used to get a different search warrant. In that case, if the first search warrant is overturned, the evidence from it is suppressed. Thus the second search warrant is also overturned.

But if they can show that the evidence for the second warrant was discovered independently of the first warrant, than the second warrant stands.

Wrong. Alan Weiselberg went to jail over those entries, and the Trump corporation was found guilty for those entries.

So they were not legitimate entries.

Then why did you quote me in your reply? You were responding to my answer on the importance of the judicial system, and you veered off into the timeframe of the case.

You quoted me, so I replied to your diversion.

No I didn't you responded to this ↓ in your post # 124

You'll see I did not quote anyone not even you, as I said already it was a statement not a response to anyone's post.

You are wrong. Trump's taxes were not used, period. There are no tax documents in the record, and no allegations of any tax violations were ever made.

Checks and invoices are not part of tax returns. Tax returns are summaries. There is no evidence that the payments were even expensed.

The fact that the payments were used against Cohen in 2018 refutes your assertion that the delay in Bragg's indictment was due to Trump's refusal to hand over his taxes before 2020.
 
LMAO. Your whining rant was because you didn't like the answer you received.

Cry me a river...
Not at all. I posted the statement as a parting statement, I was bored with the thread and had didn't see any point on continued discussion, that was me just summarizing my view.
 
Wrong. Alan Weiselberg went to jail over those entries, and the Trump corporation was found guilty for those entries.

Wrong again. Weisselberg went to jail for tax fraud over executive compensation.

That had nothing to do with the payments to Cohen, or Bragg's records case.
 
A divided Supreme Court refused to delay Donald Trump’s sentencing in his hush money case, clearing the way for the president-elect to face judgment in a New York courtroom on Friday and to be formally classified as a felon before he returns to the White House.

Trump turned to the Supreme Court in a last-ditch effort to stop the hearing, citing the conservative majority’s explosive opinion in July that granted him and other former presidents immunity from criminal prosecution for their official acts.

He is set to be sentenced Friday, after a jury convicted him of 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a hush money payment made to an adult-film actress during the 2016 election. New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan, who presided over Trump’s trial, has said he does not plan to give the incoming president jail time or probation.

But the completion of the sentencing hearing would formalize Trump’s status as the first former president or president-elect convicted of criminal wrongdoing — a designation Trump had hoped to avoid.


Looks like the felon elects luck just ran out.

Smart move....draw the case to a completion and now just wait for it to come back.
People don't understand this game.
Now the NY appellate is on the hot seat.
If they do what they should and vacate the felonies NYS will want them dead. Soooo
They will do just enough to move it along to SCOTUS.

In the meantime..

Merchan, Bragg, James, Smith and probably Engoron should absolutely not be making vacation plans..... And they all goddamn well know it.
 
Remember, Trump appealed the denial of his motions, only to have the appeals court UPHOLD the motions denial. But of course the appeal process added additional delays to the case. Which I would call "frivolous", as supported by their denial at every appeal stage.
That is not true. Motions have to be filed to preserve the appeal, as I already stated.

The only motions that are subject to interlocutory appeal are motions that will result in irreparable harm if they are wrongfully denied.

There may have been one motion in the course of the case that was appealable, that would have been a motion to dismiss. The rest have to be dealt with on appeal.

You are conflating cases, I think...

Manhattan prosecutor gets Trump tax records after long fight
February 25, 2021

A New York prosecutor has obtained copies of Donald Trump’s tax records after the Supreme Court this week rejected the former president’s last-ditch effort to prevent them from being handed over.

The Manhattan district attorney’s office enforced a subpoena on Trump’s accounting firm within hours of the Supreme Court’s ruling on Monday and now has the documents in hand, a spokesperson for the office, Danny Frost, said Thursday.
 
Wrong again. Weisselberg went to jail for tax fraud over executive compensation.

That had nothing to do with the payments to Cohen, or Bragg's records case.
“For more than three years, Weisselberg has delayed the system with multiple motions to dismiss, delayed hearings and depositions,” Cohen said. “Time caught up to him and when it did, he did the only thing could ... take a plea deal.”
