    @Travis_4_Trump
    Bragg’s office has written to Judge Merchan arguing for Trump’s sentencing to take place on September 18.

    They see the Kamala collapse coming, so they need to sentence Trump to jail 8 days after he wipes the floor with her at the debate.

    I commented on this in the other thread... I am genuinely confused why more people aren't talking about this. All indicators point to Trump being sentenced to Riker's Island on the 18th, including whistleblower leaks and military preparations near the courthouse in NYC. So if the judge sentences Trump to jail, it will essentially be a White Swan event masquerading as a Black Swan given there has been so little contemplation or acknowledgement about the most likely outcome. My guess is the reason for the relative silence is because civil society just doesn't want to go there or speculate about what this ultimately means or what might happen. Nothing good, in any case.

    To speak to the debate again, my initial thought was the Harris campaign would announce a "delay" due to some unforeseen circumstance that is likely being planned as we speak, until, say, later in the month, knowing full well Trump will be in prison and unable to see it through.

    Guess we shall see how it all unfolds.

    The fact that DJT is alive post J13 is a miracle in itself, so the unreasoning part of me wants to believe.

    But, yeah. Methinks we're gonna need another miracle...

    BREAKING: Judge Merchan is being *SUED* ahead of the criminal sentencing of Donald Trump.

    Merchan is being sued to release his financial disclosure forms, which may show conflict of interest in his handling of the high-profile case against the 2024 presidential candidate.

    The lawsuit was filed by @America1stLegal:

    "We just sued Judge Merchan and the Ethics Commission for the NY Unified Court System for illegally concealing Judge Merchan’s financial disclosures from 2018-2024," AFL said. "We requested these records in June under NY state law and have been unlawfully stonewalled."

    Donald Trump is due to be sentenced on September 18th, just weeks before the November election.

    This guy is a disgusting piece of ****. One among of far, far too many like him in positions of power and control in all levels of state governments, as well as all levels of the federal government, and in the board rooms of supranational global corporations.

    Guys, it’s not a win that the J6 case against Donald Trump is not going to trial before the election.

    What Chutkan did today by taking the rare—unprecedented?—step of allowing DOJ to file an “opening brief” on additional immunity questions is a way to put Trump on trial without a jury and little recourse.

    Tom Windom, Smith’s prosecutor, told Chutkan the brief would be “comprehensive.” The document will include grand jury transcripts, 302s (FBI) and other cherry picked “evidence” to salvage the “Big Lie” narrative as people start to vote.

    You can GUARANTEE DOJ will release new bombshells to put Trump on the defensive and create damaging headlines.

    It’s a paper trial but without cross examination, defense witnesses, or other due process rights.

    Nothing to celebrate.




    https://x.com/julie_kelly2/status/1831777915136328172



    Still trying to wrap my head around the fact that today Judge Chutkan, presiding over the most important presidential immunity case in history, said the case is not about the presidency of the United States.

    Judge Delays Trump's Hush Money Sentencing Until After Election

    by Tyler Durden
    Friday, Sep 06, 2024 - 01:37 PM
    The judge overseeing former President Donald Trump's Manhattan criminal case has postponed his sentencing for the second time. According to Reuters, the new sentencing date has been pushed to November 26, after the presidential election on November 5.

    Trump's lawyers asked Judge Juan M. Merchan, who oversaw Trump's seven-week trial earlier this year, to postpone the September 18 sentencing. They argued there wouldn't be enough time for the defense to appeal Merchan's upcoming ruling on Trump's request to overturn the conviction, citing the US Supreme Court's landmark decision on presidential immunity.



    Judge Juan Merchan wrote in the court filing:

    "This matter is one that stands alone, in a unique place in this Nation's history, and this Court has presided over it since its inception – from arraignment to jury verdict and a plenitude of motions and other matters in-between. Were this Court to decide, after careful consideration of the Supreme Court's decision in Trump, that this case should proceed, it will be faced with one of the most critical and difficult decisions a trial court judge faces – the sentencing of a defendant found guilty of crimes by a unanimous jury of his peers.

    "The adjournment request has now been decided in the same way this Court has decided every other issue that has arisen since the origination of this case, applying the facts and the law after carefully considering the issues and respective arguments of the parties to ensure that the integrity of the proceeding, is protected, justice is served, and the independence of this judiciary kept firmly intact."

    In May, Trump was convicted by a unanimous jury on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. Prosecutors said Trump signed off on the scheme to conceal reimbursements to a lawyer who wired $130,000 "hush money" payment to Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 presidential election. Trump pleaded not guilty and denied the encounter.

    The charges carry a maximum sentence of four years in jail. Most legal observers expect Trump to avoid jail time, given the alternatives to incarceration, including probation.

    Trump's original sentencing was set for July 11, but it was delayed after he filed a motion to overturn his conviction, citing a landmark Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity.

    Trump attorneys Todd Blanche and Emil Bove's request for a postponement argued it would be inappropriate to sentence the former president this month since early voting in the presidential election has already begun.

    "By adjourning the sentencing until after that election … the Court would reduce, even if not eliminate, issues regarding the integrity of any future proceedings," they wrote.

    Down to the wire...


    https://x.com/DC_Draino/status/1832105617814880449



    Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung told The Hill that there should be no sentencing at all in the case and that, "as mandated by the United States Supreme Court," Trump's hush money case and other legal matters should be dismissed.

    Prosecutors did not oppose the delay, leaving the decision to the judge. They noted, "The People respectfully defer to the Court on the appropriate post-trial schedule."

    A Trump win in November indicates he could order the Department of Justice to drop federal election interference charges against him. However, he would not have the authority to end the case in Manhattan or an election interference case in Georgia.

    JUST IN:
    🚨🚨🚨🚨

    KAMALA HARRIS IS SENDING CHECKS TO THE PERSONAL HOME RESIDENCE OF JUDGE MERCHAN’S DAUGHTER’S BUSINESS PARTNER
    @MikeNellis

    @EliseStefanik has used my exclusive reporting about Judge Merchan, @MikeNellis
    and Loren Merchan to file an ethics complaint with the New York State Commission against Judge Merchan.


    As I have been saying for months now with my reporting, Loren Merchan and her business partner @MikeNellis are advisors for @KamalaHarris’s Presidential campaign and their payments and the Payments from their work with pro-indictment Democrats are sent to the personal home residences on Loren Merchan and Mike Nellis.

    As I exclusively reported weeks ago, Nellis has been using another corporate entity known as Avalanche Acquisitions which shares an office with Authentic Campaigns.

    However, as I reported, the payments are not sent to the office, but rather to the personal home residences of @MikeNellis and Loren Merchan, which is seen on the PUBLIC FEC records.

    Mike Nellis, who has been subpoenaed by the House Judiciary Committee, is now also receiving payments from Kamala Harris to his home residence like Loren Merchan.

    I have blocked out the full address so I’m not accused of doxxing but I can exclusively confirm yet again that the Authentic Campaign’s expenditure by
    @KamalaHarris’s Presidential campaign below mentioned by @EliseStefanik was sent to the personal home residence of Mike Nellis who just refused to comply with 2 Congressional inquiries.

    Donald Trump will be vindicated!

    Receipts below show that the address is his residence! 👇🏻I blurred out the house number but the street names are the same.

    @EliseStefanik
    🚨🚨🚨 Today I filed a new judicial ethics complaint with the New York State Commission because new evidence on Kamala Harris’ most recent FEC filing shows she hired and paid Acting Justice Juan Merchan’s adult daughter’s company. This is a clear violation of the New York State Judicial Code of Conduct which dictates that a judge must recuse from a case where a relative up to and including the sixth degree has a financial interest in the outcome of the case.

    Read my full complaint below:

    September 6, 2024
    New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct 61 Broadway, Suite 1200 New York, New York 10006
    Members of the Commission:

    I am writing to you concerning potential ethical issues with respect to Acting Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan. On May 21, 2024, I filed a complaint against Justice Merchan concerning his presiding over the pending criminal case of former President Donald J. Trump. The New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct (the Commission) rejected the complaint on July 3, 2024. As of today, President Trump is scheduled for sentencing on September 18, 2024, at which he faces up to 136 years’ imprisonment. New information has come to light that merits a fresh look into Justice Merchan’s conflict. Neither the Appellate Division nor the Advisory Committee on Judicial Ethics could have known about this material when they issued opinions as to Justice Merchan’s continuing to preside over President Trump’s case.

    On July 21, 2024, President Joe Biden announced that he would not seek a second term. Within a few days, Vice President Kamala Harris was anointed to become the Democrat Party’s nominee for the presidency. During his campaign, President Biden used one company, Amazon Web Services (AWS), for the campaign’s web hosting services.1 President Biden’s campaign paid AWS throughout 2023 through the suspension of his campaign in July 2024. On August 20, 2024, Vice President Harris’s campaign submitted its first Federal Election Commission (FEC) report that documented expenses and donations through July 31, 2024. In the report, specifically on Form 3P, line 232, a July 30, 2024, disbursement appears in the amount of $468.00 from Vice President Harris’s campaign to Authentic Campaigns Inc. (Authentic) for web hosting services. This indicates that one of the very first things that Harris did upon taking over the Biden campaign infrastructure is to hire this firm, Authentic.

    Authentic is a digital consulting and marketing firm that services Democrat candidates. Loren Merchan, Justice Merchan’s daughter, is its president. Vice President Harris changed web hosting companies from AWS to Authentic immediately after becoming the presumptive Democrat presidential nominee. As the FEC report’s filing did not occur until August 20, nearly a month after the Harris campaign and Authentic had begun doing business, no one in the public, including the Commission, could have known of the relationship. This is merely the beginning of a new contract with a new campaign, regardless of the amount reimbursed. Sure, there’s an immediate benefit, but this is a play at a potential larger benefit for Authentic and Merchan down the road.

    The Code of Conduct, specifically § 100.3(E)(1)(d)(iii), dictates that a judge must recuse from a case where a relative up to and including the sixth degree has a financial interest in the outcome of the case. Ms. Merchan is related to Justice Merchan in the first degree. Authentic has a newly active financial relationship with Vice President Harris’s campaign. President Trump’s sentencing, an event which will garner worldwide media coverage, is imminent. This event, a month and a half prior to the November 5 election, could have a profound impact on that election; indeed, some states will have commenced mail voting by that date. Given this revelation of a brand-new conflict of interest for Judge Merchan, I respectfully request that the Commission engage in a fresh inquiry concerning Justice Merchan’s conflict and take any appropriate action resulting from it.

    Thank you for your attention to this matter.
    Sincerely,

    Elise Stefanik

    Julie Kelly is great. We owe her a debt of gratitude for her tireless and productive, excellent efforts and results.

    I do want to briefly note, for what it’s worth (and I may be stating the obvious), that the snippet of the document Julie posted is not a court decision or ruling. It is a portion of a motion, that is, an argument presented to the judge by Trump’s persecutors, arguing why Trump is not immune from their persecution. So, that document does not mean much of anything, yet. Trump probably has already filed a response to it, debunking his persecutors’ arguments. But the judge will be “immune” to Trump’s position and will likely go along with his persecutors.

    As Julie is positing, the judge who will decide whether Trump is immune from persecution, or not, determined it was a good idea at this time to unseal the State persecutors’ argument advancing why Trump is not immune. That is clearly intended by the judge to influence public opinion in a manner and direction unfavorable to Trump.

    It won’t make a difference, not now. But that is the intent.

    Excellent summary of the lawfare case against @realDonaldTrump that was just crushed by the NY Appellate.

    Incredibly sensible questions by appellate judges had me in stitches 🤣🤣

    less than 2 minutes - sums up the responses of the justices to this case - wonder when a ruling will happen?

    https://x.com/charliekirk11/status/1845957616343937350



    Trumps civil fraud conviction, resulting in nearly a half-billion dollar judgement, could get overturned by the NY Appellate Division. Here’s nearly two minutes of a panel of five justices absolutely excoriating Letitia James’ team of lawyers. WATCH:

    Biden-Harris DoJ Reportedly Winding Down Trump Criminal Cases

    by Tyler Durden
    Wednesday, Nov 06, 2024 - 02:40 PM

    Special Counsel Jack Smith, overseeing two federal cases against former President Donald Trump, has considered a possible pathway to end the cases, according to two sources familiar with the matter who spoke to NBC News. This news from the MSM outlet comes hours after Trump won the US presidential election.

    Here's more from NBC News:

    The latest discussions stand in contrast with the pre-election legal posture of Special Counsel Jack Smith, who in recent weeks took significant steps in the election interference case against Trump without regard to the electoral calendar.

    But the sources say DOJ officials have come to grips with the fact that no trial is possible any time soon in either the January 6th case or the classified documents matter—both of which are mired in legal issues that would likely prompt an appeal all the way to the Supreme Court, even if Trump had lost the election.

    Now that Trump will become president again, DOJ officials see no room to pursue either criminal case against him—and no point in continuing to litigate them in the weeks before he takes office, the people said.

    The outlet continued:

    The sources said it will be up to Smith to decide exactly how to unwind the charges, and many questions remain unanswered. Could the prosecutions resume after Trump leaves office or would they be time-barred? What happens to the evidence? What about the two other defendants charged with helping Trump hide classified documents? Will Smith write a report, as special counsels usually do?

    The sources say all those issues require study and research.

    At the same time, Trump's legal team is weighing their own next steps for how to resolve the outstanding federal cases in the former president's favor now that he is the projected winner of the election. The ultimate goal is to get all of the federal and state cases wiped out completely — the strategic call is how best to accomplish that task, according to a person familiar with the discussions.

    If the Trump side, for example, moved again in court to dismiss the charges in Washington for election interference, then the Justice Department could use its legal response to explain its position on not moving forward with that case.


    As a reminder, Axios noted that there are four separate federal and state cases that involve Trump:

    New York hush money case: Trump was convicted in May on all 34 felony counts in his New York criminal trial, for falsifying business records to cover up a payment to adult film actress Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election.

    Georgia election interference case: The sprawling racketeering case has been on hold since July, pending a legal battle over whether prosecutor Fani Willis should be removed from the case. Oral arguments are set for December 5th.

    Federal January 6th case: Special counsel Jack Smith's criminal case over Trump's alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election is on hold while Judge Tanya Chutkan decides how much of the case can proceed in light of the Supreme Court's presidential immunity ruling.

    Federal classified documents case: The federal case, which was filed in Florida, was dismissed in July after Judge Aileen Cannon ruled Smith had been unlawfully appointed. Smith appealed the dismissal.


    The former president has stated that he intends to end the federal criminal cases once he returns to the White House.

    Surprisingly, the Biden-Harris DoJ may move first, well ahead of January 20th.



    As Jonathan Turley notes, Donald Trump’s victory was the largest jury verdict that some of us anticipated for years of unrelenting weaponization of the legal system.

    Smith’s prosecutions ended with the 270th Electoral College vote secured around 2 a.m. Wednesday. His unrelenting efforts to convict Trump and then, when prevented from holding a trial, to release damaging material before the election have collapsed with the blue wall in the Midwest.

    Trump has said he plans to fire Smith on Day 1. That means the end of both the January 6 and the classified documents cases.

    That leaves James and Bragg as residue of long-forgotten lawfare battles, but even there Trump’s prospects look good.

    James was able to secure a fellow lawfare warrior in Justice Arthur Engoron, who imposed a grotesque $455 million in fines and interest.



    That ruling is pending an appeal that is expected to be a partial or even total victory for Trump.

    Unlike Engoron, the appellate judges expressed great skepticism in September over the size of the penalty and even the use of this law.

    Trump faced half a billion dollars in penalty in a case where no one lost a dime, and the alleged victim banks wanted more business with Trump and his company.

    Separately, there is a hearing scheduled in front of Judge Juan Merchan for Nov. 11 on the “hush money” case involving Stormy Daniels, and a possible sentencing on Nov. 26.

    If Merchan seeks to jail Trump, it is unlikely to be carried out, as Trump appeals the case and the many alleged errors committed by the judge.

    Merchan made an utter mess of a case that should never have been filed, let alone tried. Even commentators like CNN’s senior legal analyst, Elie Honig, have denounced the case as selective prosecution and unfounded.

    The case should result in a conditional discharge with no jail time if Merchan can resist the temptation to unjustly punish Trump, a level of restraint that has largely proven difficult for him in the case.

    Merchan created layers of appealable errors in the case. Putting those alleged errors aside, any sentencing to jail would create its own constitutional conflict with Trump’s performance of his federal duties.

    The question is whether the election will bring a moment of sobriety for New Yorkers who have spent years in a full rage-driven celebration of lawfare.

    While Trump did not prevail in New York, he came closer than any Republican in decades.

    After this steady diet of politicized prosecutions in New York, Trump secured 44.3% of the vote, while Harris received 55.7%. In 2020, the margin was 23 points.

    It is doubtful that the election will completely kill the appetite for lawfare in New York. As I wrote in my recent book, “The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in an Age of Rage,” “rage is liberating, even addictive. It allows us to say and do things that we would ordinarily avoid, even denounce in others.”

    What people do not want to admit that is that they like the rage.

    Rage addicts will continue to push James and Bragg to continue these unhinged campaigns. It is not prosecutorial — it is recreational.

    We can only hope that James and Bragg feel a twinge of humility when their cases fall apart along with the Kamala Harris campaign.

    And Merchan has the opportunity to use this brief sobering moment and issue a conditional discharge without home or actual confinement.

    He can take judicial notice of Trump’s election as our next president and end this circus in Manhattan.

    Instead of listening to the braying mob, he can act as a judge.


    MSNBC is not thrilled with these new developments...

    I have a technical/legal question. Is Trump now a "sitting president", or will he only enjoy that status after 20 January?

    Edit to add:

    Answering my own question. He's not a 'sitting president' yet, but there's simply no time to bring him to trial before 20 January.

    You can see the rage seething from Letitia James.

    She’s FCKED once Trump takes office.

    Retribution is going to be sweet.

    ///

    Was Letitia James not conscious during the oral arguments at the appellate court? Now that we are past the election, maybe the complaints against her to the bar can finally be made public.
