A judge is due to decide Tuesday whether to undo President-elect Donald Trump’s conviction in his hush money case because of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity.
New York Judge Juan M. Merchan, who presided over Trump’s historic trial, is now tasked with deciding whether to toss out the jury verdict and order a new trial — or even dismiss the charges altogether. The judge’s ruling also could speak to whether the former and now future commander-in-chief will be sentenced as scheduled Nov. 26.
The Republican won back the White House a week ago but the legal question concerns his status as a past president, not an impending one.
Well he doesn’t want to be tried for treason, so he had better make it all disappear. I wish to fucking god I could put /s and mean it… we’re never seeing justice in America.
Just try jaywalking while black, buddy.
Like I said, we’ll never see justice in America.
He can’t make this one disappear. The President can’t pardon state charges. This is completely up to Judge Merchan.
If he does the right thing, how long will it take for Trump to order that Merchan be arrested?
It wouldn’t change the sentence.
I wonder how long the judge will maintain his sanity after disappearing into solitary as an “enemy of the state”, and whether this will give him any comfort as he is beaten and waterboarded for funsies.
I think the general feeling now is very similar to how medieval serfs must’ve felt about their Lords. Totally disconnected from everyone else in their castle towers.
People need to think less like medieval serfs, and more like 18th century Frenchmen.
