New York indefinitely cancels Donald Trump’s sentencing
Donald Trump’s defense team just received permission to file motion to dismiss the charges. Judge Juan Merchan granted this request and removed the sentencing from the schedule. Trump’s attorneys have until December 2 to file their motion, and Bragg has until December 9 to respond to the motion to dismiss.
From Fox News:
Merchan said Trump attorneys have until Dec. 2 to file their motion for dismissal. Merchan said Bragg has until Dec. 9 to respond.
Merchan also confirmed the stay in sentencing for Trump, which was requested by both Trump’s and Bragg’s attorneys. The sentencing was scheduled for Nov. 26, but on Friday, Merchan said that date “is adjourned.”
Trump spokesman and incoming White House communications director Steven Cheung reacted to Merchan’s ruling on Friday, telling Fox News Digital it is a “decisive win” for the president.
“In a decisive win for President Trump, the hoax Manhattan Case is now fully stayed and sentencing is adjourned,” Cheung told Fox News Digital. “President Trump won a landslide victory as the American People have issued a mandate to return him to office and dispose of all remnants of the Witch Hunt cases.”
Cheung added, “All of the sham lawfare attacks against President Trump are now destroyed and we are focused on Making America Great Again.”
In a letter to Merchan on Wednesday, Trump defense attorney and now-nominee for Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche demanded the case against Trump be tossed.
“On November 5, 2024, the Nation’s People issued a mandate that supersedes the political motivations of DANY’s ‘People,'” Blanche wrote. “This case must be immediately dismissed.”

Judgment still hasn’t been entered yet and Bragg will still insist upon sanctimonious whining with a straight face.
So Trump will never have been technically convicted of a felony as he was never sentenced. And the phony conviction will be tossed. That is a clean record. It was intended to hurt him politically, but it back fired on the left.
It’s funny, people kept calling him a “convicted” felon. It’s funny that words have actual meanings. A jury voted that he was guilty of charges as bs as they may or may not be but he is NOT convicted until a judge enters a conviction into the record at sentencing. So, he got to vote, has his firearms rights, etc.. etc.. another word has meaning, woman but, a lot of people just can’t seem to speak fact anymore.
No one is above the law in New York, says the District Attorney who dismisses charges of theft and assault committed by members of Venezuelan gangs in the country illegally. Just wondering how he will handle the case of one of his employees being robbed and assaulted this week.
Merchan is trying to save his ass at this point. This is going to have a big effect on his career going forward. The demons would love to have this guy on the Supreme Court. And Trying to fill your resume with law fare against a president could also get you disbarred or even some jail time. I’m hoping for disbarment.
I would say if the case were actually anything other than naked lawfare against political enemies than continue to press. But it has been laid bare.
I’ve said it before but if Trump weren’t a billionaire we all would have been screwed.
Blatant political persecution should have the most Draconian consequences for the perpetrators. Probably a bunch of them sh*tting their britches right now.
We have to remember tho that there are still nearly two (2) months before President Trump is sworn in. A lot can happen between now and then. Prepare
In the old days, the boys from Little Italy in Manhatten and the boys from Dyker Heights Brooklyn NYC would have taken care of the problem for the wrongfully accused.
I wonder if weighted down 55 gallon oil drums are still found in Jamaica bay over in Queens NYC.
Not dismissed?
