President-elect Donald J. Trump will be sentenced on January 10, but there
will be no jail time, not that was ever a concern. The laws and statutes
got so contorted that even CNN’s Elie Honig, the network's chief legal
analyst and former assistant US attorney, couldn’t defend it, aptly
calling it a total disaster of a case. In essence, Trump only got
convicted because Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and his team
perverted the rule of law.

Law professor Jonathan Turley nailed why Judge Juan Merchan wants to get
this wrapped on January 10. It’s to give the liberal media the talking
point they’ve salivated over for months: Trump is a convicted felon, and
now he’s being sworn in as one on Inauguration Day:

It’s a consolation prize for the anti-Trump lawyers who tried repeatedly
and failed to nail Mr. Trump. Bragg’s team even tried to postpone
sentencing until 2029, which was laughably transparent. That was never
going to happen. Then again, Turley added that when an appeal is filed,
which is likely, all of Merchan's reported misdeeds will be laid bare.
Trump’s communication team didn’t hold back, with Steven Cheung, incoming
White House communications director, taking a blowtorch to the judge:

Today’s order by the deeply conflicted, Acting Justice Merchan in the
Manhattan DA Witch Hunt is a direct violation of the Supreme Court’s
Immunity decision and other longstanding jurisprudence. This lawless case
should have never been brought and the Constitution demands that it be
immediately dismissed. President Trump must be allowed to continue the
Presidential Transition process and to execute the vital duties of the
presidency, unobstructed by the remains of this or any remnants of the
Witch Hunts. There should be no sentencing, and President Trump will
continue fighting against these hoaxes until they are all dead.

The best part is that no one cares that he’s a convicted felon. No one. He
won. Kamala lost, and the Democrats lost. Deal with it.

We do not care because the actual crook is leaving, half brain-dead, but
he’s leaving.
--
November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump. We look
forward to America being great again.

The disease known as Kamala Harris has been effectively treated and
eradicated.

We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that
stupid people won't be offended.

Durham Report: The FBI has an integrity problem. It has none.

Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
fiasco, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.

Too bad he's not leaving in the same limo as Carter.
