Trump hush money sentencing delayed indefinitely
A New York judge indefinitely postponed President-elect Donald Trump's sentencing in his criminal hush money case.
Well, that's the end, guys!
The two federal cases are being shut down, Jack Smith is retiring, and there's no way the Georgia case goes forward if a literal conviction is paused.
America was nice while it lasted!
I guess when you’re a star, they really do let you do it. What a slap in the face to the jury, witnesses, and prosecutors, though, who spent their time on this case and risked reprisal from MAGA extremists.
And to every single American who isn't a filthy magat traitor.
America is finished. Laws are meaningless.
Maggot*
The end was really about 8 years ago. The last few weeks, and upcoming years will be the final nails in the coffin.
As a 4th generation veteran, it makes me sad.
It was before Trump, George W. Bush turned Americans into unthinking morons.
Regan. Regan is where it really all started. Corporate America took over then. And the American dream turned into who can kiss the most ass.
Great job turning in your homework at the last minute prosecutors!
I bet he's gonna travel to Moscow for a "diplomatic visit" soon.
This makes my stomach turn. The courts have failed us, time to bring back the guillotine.
By the pussy!
did y'all actually think anything would come of it?
For the last several years I called it a dog and pony show to keep liberals riled up
What makes you think this is over?
This is exactly what you'd expect if the judge wants to sentence Trump to jail. He can't do it now, it would be immediately overturned by the SCOTUS.
So he no choice but to wait until 2028 (or possibly sooner, in the unlikely event that Trump is impeached again).
Supreme Court has no power over a state court ruling.
Of course they do. To name just one example, in Bush v Gore the SCOTUS overturned a ruling made by the Florida Supreme Court.
Unless someone keeps appealing to a higher court and non along the way reject it, you can always reach the supreme court.
Trump can't get impeached until 2027 at the soonest because of the Republican controlled House.
Even then, the Senate will prevent his removal.
As I said, he's unlikely to be impeached. But it's not impossible, if his deport+tariff plan sparks a Depression scale stock market crash and his popularity plummets. In that case, the oligarchs and populists of the GOP might agree they prefer Vance.
it's always been a dog and pony show
