Judge delays Trump sentencing in hush money
case until after November election

Quote
A New York judge has delayed former President Donald Trump's sentencing on
felony criminal charges until Nov. 26.

"This is not a decision this Court makes lightly but it is the decision which in this
Court's view, best advances the interests of justice," Judge Juan Merchan wrote
in the decision handed down Friday.

Merchan issued the ruling after Trump's attorneys had asked him to postpone the
Sept. 18 sentencing until after the Nov. 5 election to allow them to appeal a pending
ruling involving presidential immunity.

That ruling was expected by Sept. 16 — just two days before what would have been
the first ever sentencing of a former president on criminal charges. Trump was
convicted in May on 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a hush money
payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels near the end of the 2016 presidential campaign.

“A single business day is an unreasonably short period of time” for such an appeal, Trump
attorneys Todd Blanche and Emil Bove argued in an Aug. 14 filing. “There is no basis for
continuing to rush.”

So, after Trump wins in November, the smart move for Biden would be to pardon Trump.  If he doesn't, it's just a matter of a couple of months before either he pardons himself, or Vance does it if he's the acting President.

The dems are running out of ways to keep Trump out of office.  Obviously they have no confidence Kamala will win since they keep trying other options and failing.

I wonder if there are people in DC worried they will be found out as part of a conspiracy in the Trump assassination attempt?  If so, plan on another attempt right after the debate.

State court not federal so no presidential pardon. They wargamed themselves into a corner.
If you allow government to break the law for an "emergency" they will create "emergencies" to break the law.

Didn't consider the jurisdiction.  Thanks.

Then there's this:

ELECTION INTERFERENCE: DOJ Chief Caught
Admitting in Undercover Footage That Trump Indictments Are
Politically Motivated — Exposes Plot to Make Trump a ‘Convicted
Felon’ and ‘Affect His Candidacy’

Quote
The real threat to America’s future isn’t coming from Moscow—it’s coming from
Washington, D.C.

In a bombshell video released by Louder with Crowder’s MugClub Undercover
unit, new footage reveals an explosive admission from a senior Justice Department
official, suggesting that the ongoing legal battles faced by former President Donald
Trump are part of a politically motivated campaign orchestrated by the Deep State.

The undercover video appears to show Nicholas Biase, Chief of Public Affairs for the
U.S. Department of Justice in the Southern District of New York (SDNY), admitting
that the slew of criminal charges against Trump is part of a larger political maneuver
designed to derail his presidential candidacy and to make him a ‘convicted felon.’

In June, Rep. Andy Biggs presented this timeline as evidence of an orchestrated
collusion between the Biden regime and prosecutors to take down Trump.

Biggs suggests that the sequence of events—Biden’s controversial remarks,
Trump’s presidential bid announcement, Colangelo’s resignation and subsequent
move to Bragg’s office, Smith’s appointment, and Wade’s meetings with White House
lawyers—indicate a coordinated effort to prevent Trump from becoming President again.
