Democrats Cheer, for Now
Sentencing ahead of the inauguration will let Democrats claim Trump will take office with his sole criminal conviction on his record.
I view this as mostly good news.
Q: Why?
A: Sentencing now will speed up the appeals process.
This is a sham trial that never should have happened. And the mistakes made by Merchan ensure the case will be tossed out.
Had Merchan delayed sentencing, Democrats might have held sentencing over Trump for four more years.
Hunter Biden Convicted
On June 11, I commented Hunter Biden Convicted, Unlike Trump, Hunter’s Conviction Won’t Be Overturned
Hey Joe, how does it feel to have a son convicted of a felony? For now you can call Trump a felon, but that won’t last due to numerous and flagrant judicial errors.
Trump Found Guilty – a Travesty of Justice for America
I commented on Trump in my post Trump Found Guilty – a Travesty of Justice for America
I Am Outraged
I am outraged but not surprised. But the hypocrites will cheer hoping for a knockout.
They will say “No one is above the law”. Indeed. But no one should be beneath the law either.
Every effort has been made to put Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, and Hillary Clinton above the law. And every effort has been made to put Trump beneath the law, including judicial instructions.
Everyone should be outraged. The trial was unfair because there should not have been a trial at all. The judge’s actions were outrageous.
Pardon vs Overturned Conviction
President Biden lied about Hunter. Then is a disgraceful move, the president pardoned his son.
However, accepting a pardon implies guilt. Hunter won’t go to prison where he belongs. But no one can say he wasn’t guilty.
If New York Governor Kathy Hochul offers Trump a pardon, he should refuse it on grounds of innocence.
And as soon as the Trump conviction is overturned, and it will be, no one will be able to call Trump a felon.
Sentencing now will speed up an appeal, and the conviction will be tossed, hopefully with prejudice.
So let the hypocrites have another month or whatever of bragging. Then reality will set in with an easy overturn on multiple grounds.
