Summary
Donald Trump criticized New York Judge Juan Merchan after the judge set a Jan. 10 sentencing date for Trump’s 34-count felony conviction related to hush money payments.
Trump called for Merchan’s disbarment, accusing him of political bias and corruption, and claimed the case was fabricated by the “Biden/Harris Injustice Department.”
Merchan indicated he may propose no punishment due to presidential immunity.
Trump vowed to appeal the case, citing past legal victories, and reiterated claims of political persecution and judicial bias while condemning the U.S. legal system’s handling of his cases.
You know what I get a kick out of?
At this point, what if Trump doesn’t bother showing up for this hearing? What if he just literally tells this judge to go fuck himself? Trump is committing a federal crime on social media by threatening a judge. What can anyone do about it? What is this judge, who has already repeatedly bent over backwards to accommodate Trump before he returned to power, going to do about a defendant who is legally immune from prosecution?
Right now, Trump absolutely could completely ignore this case, say he won’t be attending on January 10th, and telling the judge to go fuck himself on social media. And there is absolutely fuck-all that anyone can do about it. All Merchan is doing is giving Trump another opportunity to show the world what a cuck Merchan is.
