DH has Trump live on the computer.
He is accusing an unnamed woman of making up her SA story again, claiming she got the idea from her favourite show, Law & Order.
Shutting up is not his long suit, is it?

Judge Delays Trump’s Sentencing Until Nov. 26, After Election Day The decision by Justice Juan M. Merchan means voters will be left in the dark about whether the former president will face time behind bars. apnews.com/article/be5a6fd3481055187543236c8dd3b045NEW YORK (AP) — A judge agreed Friday to postpone Donald Trump’s sentencing in his hush money case until after the November election, granting him a hard-won reprieve as he navigates the aftermath of his criminal conviction and the homestretch of his presidential campaign. Manhattan Judge Juan M. Merchan, who is also weighing a defense request to overturn the verdict on immunity grounds, delayed Trump’s sentencing until Nov. 26, several weeks after the final votes are cast in the presidential election. It had been scheduled for Sept. 18, about seven weeks before Election Day. Merchan wrote that he was postponing the sentencing “to avoid any appearance — however unwarranted — that the proceeding has been affected by or seeks to affect the approaching presidential election in which the Defendant is a candidate.” “The Court is a fair, impartial, and apolitical institution,” he added.

Immunity should not apply to the hush money case. Period. The defendant was not the president when he committed that crime.

Shutting up is not his long suit, is it? Why are any networks covering that? It’s personal grievance, nothing to do with his campaign. Let him whine to his wife, if she even gives a shit.

The defendant was not the president when he committed that crime. it hasn't to do with the centerline of the case. it has to do with the evidence, and the impact that had on the verdict. i am confident that Merchant will decide not to retry this case. however, he needs to at least give the APPEARANCE that he is trying. i think the most disturbing part of the ruling is where he alludes to the impact on the election. i HOPE that this will not influence any other judges, but i am not super optimistic about that. it might have a chilling affect on the J6 case, which would REALLY suck.

I don't see a sentence that would be reasonable and also have a significant negative impact on the election. It would be extraordinary to take him immediately into custody if the sentence included jail time. As a white collar criminal, he would be given time to campaign get his affairs in order. An order to not campaign during that time would be immediately overturned by a higher court on 1st Amendment grounds. Putting him in jail during early voting and/or Election Day might move some off the fence but which way Home confinement would just create a parade to his door. Fine would just be subject to appeal. What does anyone else see as to what could have happened that would have made a real difference?

Whatever that might have been. And I see where the judge doesn’t want it to be political, but all that does is cut this egregious felon slack. THAT is political. He should have not done this and sentenced Trump on the 16th. . Once again the REAL two tier justice system bails out the wealthy white guy.

What has our nation become, that this is even a topic of conversation. As I’ve said before, the fact that this is even real, says more about us than it says about Donald Trump.

Poor baby. New York’s top court throws out Trump gag order appealBY ELLA LEE AND ZACH SCHONFELD - 09/12/24 10:08 AM ET New York’s high court tossed out former President Trump’s appeal of the gag order in his hush money criminal case Thursday. The gag order, which remains in partial effect ahead of Trump’s sentencing, bars the former president from making public remarks about prosecutors involved in the case or their families. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D) and Judge Juan Merchan remain fair game. In a brief order, the court said “no substantial constitutional question is directly involved” and that it would dismiss Trump’s appeal. The former president has argued the gag order violates the First Amendment rights of him and his millions of supporters, emphasizing his status as a presidential candidate in this year’s election. Trump asked the New York Court of Appeals, the state’s highest court, to hear his challenge after his arguments were rejected by lower courts. In May, Trump was convicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records in connection with a hush money payment to his ex-fixer Michael Cohen made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels so she would keep her story of an alleged affair with Trump — who denies the encounter — a secret until after the 2016 presidential election. Rest of article here: New York’s top court throws out Trump gag order appeal

Why is he so obsessed about getting rid of the gag order? So he can trash talk witnesses?

Why is he so obsessed about getting rid of the gag order? So he can trash talk witnesses? Researched and posted this a while back. What he can't talk about. Got this from the court ruling: Making or directing others to make public statements about (1) counsel in the case other than the District Attorney, (2) members of the courts staff and the District Attorney's staff or (3) the family members of any counsel or staff member, if those statements are made with the intent to materially interfere with, or to cause others to materially interfere with, counsels or staffs work in this criminal case, or with the knowledge that such interference is likely to result; ... ... protections set forth in this Courts Protecive Order of March 7, 2024, Regulating Disclosure ofJuror Information wil remain in effect unil further order of this Court. Witnesses no long protected. I wonder if it is primarily him chafing against being told, "You can't" and specifics don't matter.
