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.
You are correct. A jury verdict is not a judgment of conviction. Only the judge can sign the judgment and cause it to be filed by the clerk of court.
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.
I guess we can’t call him a “returning citizen”, which is the politically correct term in DC for ex-convicts, because technically he hasn’t been convicted. Sure would love a Trump Hater explain how it is legal to file charges and hold a trial that was a misdemeanor and that the statute of Lin has expired, and he has no jurisdiction over. If you want to drag every person who settled and signed a non disclosure with a litigant, then you’re going to need a bigger courthouse. We’re looking at you Bill Clinton, Matt Lawler, Representative John Conyers, and others.
Remember, the corrupt New Yawk governor reassured the state’s business community that other business owners had nothing to worry about because this lawfare was only aimed at Trump. This tortured application of this misdemeanor statute as felonies would not be applied to them.
The D’s will just change the definition of “convicted” in order to support the pre-approved narrative.
If they can redefine the definition of a recession, they would have no problem redefining convicted.
Like I wrote earlier, they have even managed to change the definition of woman. Without linguistic stability how in the heck are we supposed to ever be able to communicate effectively. Oh, I forgot, we’re not.
They changed the definition of “vaccine”, “insurrection”, “nazi” and “fascist”.
Yes, all you have to do is look those up in their Newspeak Dictionary. Winston Smith of “1984” is even now working on its latest revisions and edition.

just to follow up. I don’t know if you saw my response to your question
Well, they did manage to get the word “vaccine” redefined too …
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.
While we’re hoping, let’s also hope he does jail time as well. Let’s see how serious they are about nobody being above the law mantra they keep on about.
Disbarment and a one way trip into the dust bin of history as a disgrace to the field of law seems much more appropriate — like Michael Nifong.
I’m for disbarment and his legacy being an example of what NOT to do being taught in Law Schools.
Generally, disbarment results from attorney misconduct while practicing law. Bar associations do not litigate the conduct of judges performing judicial functions, no matter how egregious their conduct on the bench is. Most states have a judicial council that performs that function.
In most states, judges are no longer members of the Bar Association. They resign from it when they are appointed or elected to the bench.
I feel like at the very least, the careers and reputations of Bragg and Merchan are effectively tarnished — if not ruined in the wake of all this.
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.
The whole mess has shown just what a dirty whorehouse our legal system can become, the whole shebang of a mess is dirtier than a third world abortion clinic!
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?
To be refiled in 2028 or later.
With extreme predjudice.
Maybe, just maybe, the next few years will produce some eye opening results from those working working in the Trump Administration. So much so that even the left sees what’s going on and demands heads on platters too.
I guess imma just drop this right here again…
Happy Sunday.
Gun Beary is ready…
Stupid question I know but is this real?
The Poles had their very own Arty Bear.
I’m somehow doubtful Luftwaffe Fallschirmjäger had trained Fallschirmbaren.
Pervitin Bar?
Someone needs to tell Bragg and Marchand their 15 minutes are up and they need to let it go.
I wonder if the new DOJ will be able to do anything to the DA and Judge for filing frivolous charges.
Hopefully, the new DOJ doesn’t get mired in a boat load of legal minutiae before being able to bring real change.
They need to show that law fare has consequences and Discourage law fare as a tactic for politics.
Is the term “with extreme prejudice ” strong enough, or will a new phrase be needed.
It won’t matter whether the dismissal, if granted, is with prejudice. I don’t think Trump can be reindicted because of double jeopardy. It attached as soon as the first juror was sworn in at the trial.
I’m tempted to sign up to X just to see the libtards’ meltdowns
You can see enough of them on YouTube, they make me LMAO!!! I won’t see any of that in person where I live, the County that I call home went over 70% for DJT!
Yea, been entertaining myself on Tube of the U a lot this month. Every bit as funny as 2016.
Lawfare at it’s finest…What comes arounf goes around…
