USA Today- "A New York judge upheld the felony conviction of President-elect Donald Trump on Friday and set sentencing for Jan. 10, but said Trump would receive no prison or probation.
Judge Juan Merchan had agreed to Trump's earlier request to postpone sentencing until after the election, but he said there is no legal reason to stop it from happening before Trump takes office again on Jan. 20.
"It is incumbent upon this Court to set this matter down for the imposition of sentence prior to Jan. 20, 2025," Merchan wrote. Merchan added that his goal is "bringing finality" to the case."
Ok- we all KNOW the truth in this case---despite the constant spin. TRUTH- Donald Trump had his lawyer- Cohen- make payments to porn "star" Stormy Davis to keep her silent before his first election- done.....but, he wanted them hidden as BUSINESS EXPENSES. Trump had his lawyer do his job, but it was against the law- Donald Trump had a fair trial in NY and was convicted. YEARS Later- the judge wants to finish the trial....So, Donald Trump can start his appeals.
Donald Trump is still fighting to even stop the sentencing.....wants to get it BEYOND his swearing in as President AGAIN.
Ain't it great- America spoke....AND....paying a porn star, calling it business expense, and being a convicted felon doesn't matter if you tell the public what it wants to hear......CHARACTER mean NOTHING.....time will tell if we chose well. Pray for all Presidents- they have an impossible job.
I, personally, love this state judge- he wants the opportunity to tell Trump why he didn't throw out his conviction----just before becoming President--- dang, it should be quite a statement.....and VERY news worthy. I know the "FAKE NEWS" folks will be all over it. Peace. Pray for Biden and Trump.
