Judge to sentence Trump before inauguration in hush money case

Consigliere Cohen does time while the Don does just fine - that "all equal before the law" (if your blindfold covers both eyes). Trump has smashed and trashed the justice system, or has he only exposed its hollowness and the hypocrisy of power.

A farcical case with zero credibility. No doubt the haters will be out in force on this one.

DA Alvin Bragg and Judge Juan Merchan have smashed and trashed the justice system.

No need for you to thank me for fixing it for you. You're welcome.

Sentenced to …nothing.

Marches exactly what his crimes were, nothing.

NOT GUILTY OF COURSE, but has to pay a fine , what else could the sentence be?

Since when paying money to silence a Porn Star has become a crime???

The good part is the “sentence” of “nothing” will finally eliminate the unconstitutional gag order and allow the appeals process to proceed.

The New York judge presiding over President-elect Donald Trump's hush money case on Friday set sentencing for 10 days before his January 20 inauguration and said he was not inclined to impose jail time.

Well that's a darn shame...

Send the 34 felony convicted con-man and insurrectionist to a nice two-month vacation at Rikers Island...

Have his inauguration in the prison day room - so all the Trump appointees can mingle with the inmates they used to be buddies with when they were behind bars...

If he's fined, that just means President Musk gives him another donation...

Felon 47

Is this Man the best the Republicans could put up for President ?

What would be below this level of good character ?

Send the 34 felony convicted con-man and insurrectionist to a nice two-month vacation at Rikers Island...

We the people are sending him to 4 years in the White House to save our country.

sometime after this the “34 convictions” from a biased judge with family members being paid by Democrats will also be reversed on appeal.

let it go, let it go….

Yeah, sounds about right. He'll never go to jail.

By throwing you under the bus and siding with his uber-rich Tech bros allowing MORE FOREIGNERS in... ROFL...

MAGA coping...

let it go, let it go….

Trump's view on life begins at conception - before flipping...

Blacklabel,you have no evidence of the judge been bias,no.judicial committee have found bias on the judge part

The judge said that instead of incarceration he was leaning towards an unconditional discharge –- meaning the real estate tycoon would not be subject to any conditions.

Two-tier American injustice system for billionaire oligarchs in NYC in full effect.

And still the MAGA faithful will whine about witch hunts, lib far left NY judges and the usual litany.

Let's see what sentence in NY courts the enemies of billionaire oligarch get.

Or just your ordinary street level criminals and fraudsters.

For what Trump did on January 6th (among other things), he should honestly go to jail.

Send the 34 felony convicted con-man and insurrectionist to a nice two-month vacation at Rikers Island...

Not convicted until sentenced. 34 fake "convictions", not allowed due-process to defend himself, zero evidence, credible testimonials from banks and companies in support of the man. Yet democrats still want to pervert the law to discredit him in any way they can, whilst screaming "Orange man bad!"

Laughable.

Not convicted until sentenced.

Another great maga legal mind at work.

I think for most Americans (just about a majority, given the election results) would consider, objectively speaking, that allowing a man with that many legal issues to assume the presidency is, at best, bad optics, and at worst, shameful enough to make us look really, really bad on the international stage.

For some Americas, they don't care as long as he's President; the ends clearly justify the means.

For others, it's actually a point of pride that America has a convicted felon as President.

The rest of the world must be wondering what got into us, and we can hardly blame them.

Send the 34 felony convicted con-man and insurrectionist to a nice two-month vacation at Rikers Island...

Not convicted until sentenced. 

LMAO - thinks you aren't convicted until sentenced. Another Trump U law grad...

Laughable....

Beyond laughable...

Have him doing community service every weekend for 4 yrs. Perhaps cleaning toilets at interstate rest areas or state parks? He needs to learn humility.

Trump is laughable, but the people who defend is illegal actions are even more laughable ... and worrisome.

Well that's a darn shame...

Send the 34 felony convicted con-man and insurrectionist to a nice two-month vacation at Rikers Island...

That will never happen

Have his inauguration in the prison day room - so all the Trump appointees can mingle with the inmates they used to be buddies with when they were behind bars... 

If he's fined, that just means President Musk gives him another donation...

More left delusional fantasy grabs. Lol

LMAO - thinks you aren't convicted until sentenced. Another Trump U law grad... 

Laughable....

Well, now that he’s sentenced, this is good, go and appeal it, take it to the Supreme Court, get it expunged and the judge will have more egg on his face.

I think for most Americans (just about a majority, given the election results)

Which was huge

would consider, objectively speaking, that allowing a man with that many legal issues to assume the presidency is, at best, bad optics, and at worst, shameful enough to make us look really, really bad on the international stage.

Only the establishment cares what the world thinks, but to American first nationalists, I have two words for the globalists

For some Americas, they don't care as long as he's President; the ends clearly justify the means.

Good so far….

For others, it's actually a point of pride that America has a convicted felon as President.

If I wanted a star, I would have voted for Chris Evans to be President.

The rest of the world must be wondering what got into us, and we can hardly blame them.

I never lose sleep or worry about what the Europeans or others think, I don’t like many of their leaders, you think they care what I think? lol, come on now….

The New York judge presiding over President-elect Donald Trump's hush money case on Friday set sentencing for 10 days before his January 20 inauguration and said he was not inclined to impose jail time.

Of course, we all know Trump will go on a 3:00 AM Truth Social unhinged rant tonight calling Merchan "the world's biggest loony left lackey" (what he used to call RFK Jr before he flipped) and that Merchan's daughter is a "low class hooker"...

You can always count on Trump to "self-own" and sink himself...

He should have scheduled for Trump's per-inauguration.

*pre

The fact that the only comeback the MAGA horde have to convictions, settlements, convicted frauds, evidence of crimes and general immorality about Trump is "But he won the election'.

All this shows is how American voters have been bamboozled and propagandized to vote against their own best interests by corporate monies.

Won? President Musk won....and is now going to bring in more foreigners...

Just what you wanted, right?

I’m fine with that.

are you suddenly against legal immigration and want to restrict immigrants?

our team isn’t against either. Just against illegal immigrants as we always said.

I’m fine with that.

are you suddenly against legal immigration and want to restrict immigrants?

Actually, the H1B row is a billionaire corporate assault on highly educated American workers in tech and knowledge fields. Who coincidentally vote mostly Democrat.

President Musk and now Trump want highly skilled tech workers on H1B visas who will work for longer hours and lower pay and benefits due to their visa status. Indentured servants basically.

Americans can do all the service and manual jobs of deported migrants.

MAGA 2025

At least South Korea was able to put their president under house arrest.

Biggest non-event in the history of non-events.

And not to mention a politicized, conflicted persecution by a dysfunctional administration.

And not to mention a politicized, conflicted persecution by a dysfunctional administration.

Plenty more of those coming right up. Stay tuned.

78 years old and no prior convictions, he was never going to jail for the New York case, and a fine would be meaningless. The sentencing, even with no punishment, will officially make him a convicted felon.

And that’s pretty much all they’ll get out of it.

WoodyLee - you’re being disingenuous (and therefore should be a politician). The crime was not the payment but the way it was presented as political expenses, remember?

The conviction will stand the sentence light.

Not so sure, depends on what the SC says
