The Democrat Party never took their foot off the gas in their endless lawfare against Donald Trump.
Kamala Harris is still praying that the Democrat judges and prosecutors continue to deliver blow after blow against Donald Trump’s re-election effort.
And Donald Trump just received one verdict from a judge that nobody could have possibly seen coming.
Judge Juan Merchan delays Trump sentencing trial
In what was clearly a rigged political show trial, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg managed to manufacture a guilty verdict on 34 felony counts against Donald Trump for falsification of business records.
The trial, led by Democrat Judge Juan Merchan – a frequent donor of Joe Biden’s 2020 Presidential campaign and whose daughter has profited significantly for consulting work on Kamala Harris’ campaign – originally ordered a September 18 date for Trump’s sentencing.
This would have been just two days after the start of early voting in the highly coveted battleground state of Pennsylvania.
Trump being sent to prison by Merchan would have been the greatest gift to Kamala Harris that she could have ever hoped for.
But the Supreme Court put a notch in the Democrat’s plans.
According to the Supreme Court, Presidents of the United States enjoyed absolute immunity for their core functions in office, as well as presumptive immunity for all official acts – effectively canning the Manhattan conviction.
The Justices ruled that, not only did Presidents hold immunity from prosecution, evidence that was derived from official acts could not be used in court.
This resulted in a serious problem for Bragg because he had elected to call White House advisor Hope Hicks to testify about all of her conversations with former President Trump.
Trump’s attorneys filed a motion requesting that Merchan should delay the sentencing trial until after the election, arguing that their post-Supreme Court ruling appeal of the conviction had to go through the courts first.
At first, Judge Merchan indicated that he planned to plow forward anyways.
Merchan had scheduled a hearing for Trump’s team to argue their motion to vacate the conviction on September 16.
If that happened, Trump would have effectively only had a single business day to locate a state or federal court to intervene before Merchan began sentencing on September 18.
But Merchan ultimately conceded the debate and reluctantly delayed the sentencing trial until November 26.
“Adjourning decision on the motion and sentencing, if such is required, should dispel any suggestion that the Court will have issued any decision or imposed sentence either to give an advantage to, or to create a disadvantage for, any political party and or any candidate for any office,” Merchan stated in his decision.
Donald Trump’s response to the news
During a recent campaign rally in North Carolina, Donald Trump celebrated the news about Merchan’s decision.
“I greatly appreciate the words in the letter today from the judge,” started Trump. “He said, ‘if necessary,’ being utilized in the decision, because there should be no ‘if necessary.’”
“This case should rightfully be terminated immediately,” he proclaimed to the crowd.
Judge Merchan’s decision to delay the trial means that the Democrat lawfare against Donald Trump is effectively dead and done for the remainder of the election cycle.
The immunity ruling pushed the January 6 witch hunt trial past election day, and Fani Willis’ sex scandal forced the Georgia show trial off the calendar entirely for the time being.
Judge Aileen Cannon also delivered a significant blow to the Democrat’s political lawfare strategy when she threw out the classified documents case due to Attorney General Merrick Garland unconstitutionally appointing Jack Smith as the special counsel.
Merchan deciding to delay the sentencing trial until the week before Thanksgiving means Trump will not have to spend any more time in a courtroom before Election Day.
