Summary
A New York appellate judge denied Donald Trump’s request to delay his sentencing on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records in the hush money case.
Justice Ellen Gesmer rejected Trump’s claim of presidential immunity, noting he is not yet sworn in as president and therefore not exempt from legal proceedings.
Trump’s sentencing is scheduled for Friday and will be virtual.
Judge Juan Merchan plans to impose an unconditional discharge, leaving the conviction in place but with no punishment.
Prosecutors argue this timing minimizes disruption to Trump’s presidential transition.
Fuck it, sentence him to 90 days in jail. Let’s really see how well this constitution holds up.
Let’s see him get sworn in in jail and have to pardon himself.
Can’t pardon himself for state crimes. That’s why he should be sentenced to jail. Is the President above the law or not?
“sentencing”
Fuck all of these people
