In the announcement Mon, the #Trump admin again criticized Judge #Boasberg. “We would have already removed these violent gang members to Chile to face justice were it not for the nationwide injunction imposed by a single judge,” said #ToddBlanche, the deputy AG & Trump fmr #criminal defense atty who lost the falsified business records to hide Trump’s #HushMoney payment to #StormyDaniels before the 2016 election. Blanche added, “We hope common sense & justice will prevail.”

"In 2013, the FBI and IRS began investigating Hastert's cash withdrawals, and in early 2015 they had learned about the "hush money" agreement between "Individual A" and Hastert."

#Trump Is First #President to Be #Sentenced as a #Felon. No #Jail Time in #HushMoney Case, but Judge Formalizes #Criminal #Conviction. The sentencing in Manhattan on 34 counts formalizes President-elect Trump’s felon status, making him the first to carry that distinction to the White House. How #shameful for the nation, in a time where we need so much compassion and kindness rather than hatred and corruption. nytimes.com/live/2025/01/10/ny We must never be silent about or accepting of his #crimes

The New York Times · Trump Is Sentenced in N.Y. Hush-Money Case and Will Avoid Jail: Live UpdatesBy Ben Protess

#Trump is set to be sentenced Friday, after a jury convicted him of 34 counts of falsifying business records related to a #HushMoney payment made to an adult-film actress during the 2016 election. #NY Supreme Court Justice Juan #Merchan, who presided over Trump’s trial, has said he does not plan to give the incoming president jail time or probation.

A divided #SCOTUS refused to delay #Trump’s #sentencing in his #HushMoney case, clearing the way for the president-elect to face judgment in a #NY courtroom on Friday & to be formally classified as a #felon before he returns to the #WhiteHouse.

Trump turned to the Supreme Court in a last-ditch effort to stop the hearing, citing the conservative majority’s explosive opinion in July that granted him & *other* former presidents #immunity from #criminal prosecution for their official acts.

While broligarchs make pilgrimages to Mar-a-Lago to kiss Donald Trump's butt, Judge Juan Merchan has scheduled Trump to be sentenced on January 10th for multiple convictions in the Stormy Daniels hush money trial.
Cheers to Judge Merchan for not being intimidated!

So it turns out that Alvin Bragg, not Judge Merchan, is the largely spineless one. Bragg has decided to pause the case, thus preventing the Trump sentencing from being upheld. If there is no accountability, there is no democracy. This is a dark day in America. Have we learned nothing? Fascists will continue to circumvent the law. Trump doesn't care about the Constitution. That requires street fighting.

HuffPost · New York Prosecutors Want Judge To Hold Off On Trump Hush Money SentencingBy Sara Boboltz

Yes I remember

Via #BenMeiselas, of the #MeidasTouchNetwork, @ 4:21pm on Oct 25, 2024

Remember when #CorporateMedia pushed the narrative that #DonaldTrump was going to be acquitted @ his #NY #HushMoney trial or @ worst a hung jury & #Trump’s legal team was supremely confident jurors were on his side, & they told us #Cohen’s testimony went bad when he was great, & then they barely covered it for more than a day when was convicted of #34Felonies & instead reported on his fake #CrowdSize numbers?

In May, #Trump was convicted on 34 counts of having #FalsifiedBusinessRecords in connection w/a #HushMoney payment to his ex-fixer #MichaelCohen made to adult film actress #StormyDaniels so she would keep her story of an affair w/Trump… a secret until after the 2016 presidential election.[#ElectionInterference]

The #GagOrder once prevented Trump from attacking key witnesses — like Cohen & Daniels — & jurors, but the judge partially lifted the order after the trial’s conclusion.

#NewYork’s high court tossed out #Trump’s #appeal of the #GagOrder in his #FalsifiedBusinessRecords / #ElectionInterference / #HushMoney #criminal case Thurs.

The gag order, which remains in partial effect ahead of Trump’s #sentencing, bars him from making public remarks about prosecutors involved in the case or their families.

In a brief order, the court said “no substantial #constitutional question is directly involved” & that it would dismiss Trump’s appeal.
