Let It Burn!

NEW YORK (AP) — In an extraordinary turn, a judge Friday set President-elect Donald Trump’s sentencing in his hush money case for Jan. 10 — little over a week before he’s due to return to the White House — but indicated he wouldn’t be jailed.

The development nevertheless leaves Trump on course to be the first president to take office convicted of felony crimes.

Judge Juan M. Merchan, who presided over Trump’s trial, signaled in a written decision that he’d sentence the former and future president to what’s known as a conditional discharge, in which a case gets dismissed if a defendant avoids rearrest.

Merchan rejected Trump’s push to dismiss the verdict and throw out the case on presidential immunity grounds and because of his impending return to the White House. The judge said he found “no legal impediment to sentencing” Trump and that it was “incumbent” on him to sentence Trump prior to his swearing in on Jan. 20.

“Only by bringing finality to this matter” will the interests of justice be served, Merchan wrote.

Trump was convicted in May of 34 counts of falsifying business records. They involved an alleged scheme to hide a hush money payment to porn actor Stormy Daniels in the last weeks of Trump’s first campaign in 2016. The payout was made to keep her from publicizing claims she’d had sex with the married Trump years earlier. He says that her story is false and that he did nothing wrong.
 
I believe Trump has already been convicted of a felony, sentencing for that conviction is what is under question now

Makes sense he wouldn’t recommend jail, Trump, thanks to his SCOTUS and army of attorneys, would never face jail time, and it would only further tear apart the country. Plus no matter what he decides, it will be litigated past Trump’s term of not his lifetime

How about an execution?

Oh this is gonna be good!!!!

I bet the powers that be will halt it before justice can be done. But at least for a brief minute we got to enjoy the fact that justice can actually be blind! YAY!
 
The development nevertheless leaves Trump on course to be the first president to take office [having been victimized by DNC lawfare and] convicted of [trumped-up charges in a rigged court and not recognized by the majority of the country].
I honestly hope Trump does whatever is needed to undo that ... for the sake of We the People. If the DNC can do it to Trump, they can do it to any or all of We the People. This should be fixed on Day 1.

Judge Juan M. Merchan, who presided over Trump’s trial [and who threw the trial with bogus instructions to the jury on each and every count, spending over one hour ensuring the jurors knew that they were required to find Trump guilty], signaled in a written decision that he [needed to guarantee his tarnishing of Trump's record as a "recepit" to the DNC with] what’s known as a conditional discharge, in which a case gets dismissed if a defendant avoids rearrest.
FTFY.

Looks like magats are going to need to be donating to the trump fund yet again for his crimes.
Who are the magats?

Trump : I am the chosen one!
If you are saying that he was elected, then yes, but you sure do have strange wording.

I hereby deem myself innocent of all crimes and accusations
That is pretty much what a self-pardon is.

. People who say otherwise will be put to death.
Trump is not a Democrat. How many times do I have to tell you?
 
I can always tell when a thread triggers you magats
Apparently not. Trump's election left you permanently unhinged and if you thought your judgement was poor previously, November sent you off the rails.

What's a magat? You use that word often and you don't even know what it means. Do you even know who you are, or what day of the week it is?
