If President Convict didn’t want to get punished during his campaign, maybe he shouldn’t have done the crimes.
i cannot believe that these motherfuckers are allowed to argue that this is “election interference”
If this is election interference, then this sets the precedent that literally no candidate could ever be held legally responsible for crimes.
Bullshit
Coward.

Merchan wrote that he was postponing the sentencing “to avoid any appearance — however unwarranted — that the proceeding has been affected by or seeks to affect the approaching presidential election in which the Defendant is a candidate.”
He doesn’t want it to appear that Trump’s candidacy is affecting the sentencing… So his candidacy will directly affect when the sentencing happens.
The courts need to simply ignore the politics, no matter what they do to try and avoid it they always fall right into the shit because anything a candidate does has a political spin from somewhere. Just ignore it completely, act like the politics isn’t a part of the case, because it isn’t. If the case happens to be occurring during an election, well the candidate shouldn’t have been doing illegal shit in the first place.
