Lawyers for Donald Trump say that the decision by the New York judge overseeing the ex-president’s criminal hush-money case to delay sentencing until after the 2024 election still doesn’t give Trump enough time for his post-trial legal maneuvers to be heard.

In a letter Monday filed with the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, attorneys Emil Bove and Todd Blanche provided what they describe as a “supplemental authority letter” relating to Trump’s motion to stay a federal judge’s decision to keep the case in state court — specifically “to inform the Court of two developments on September 6, 2024.”

Those two developments: U.S. District Judge Alvin Hellerstein’s two-time denial of Trump’s effort to move the case to federal court, and New York State Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan’s decision to delay sentencing for Trump, who was convicted of 34 business-related crimes in the Empire State, until after the 2024 presidential election.

Merchan also announced that he will issue his ruling on Trump’s motion to set aside the guilty verdict in light of the Supreme Court’s sweeping grant of presidential immunity. According to Bove and Blanche, the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling granting general immunity to the president means that only federal court provides a path to a “fair and orderly litigation of the Presidential immunity defense.”

1. Trump's hubris knows no bounds. nt

2. The rapist traitor already lost

A jury found the damaged rapist guilty. The rapist narcissist is a convict. The deranged rapist had every right afforded every defendant and then some. This crybaby shit won't work for the unrepentant rapist. It may even work against the rapist convict.

3. JUST AN IDEA: Maybe between Harris election win (a hope) & Jan. after Trump sentenced & using Biden immunity, ...

Biden could ask DOJ to confine/silence Trump if Trump threatens to disrupt election transfer peace; especially if Trump calls for violence, chaos or illegal acts. After all, Biden has an 'immunity leadership responsibility' to maintain peace.
I'm just an outside concerned Australian worried about global democracy & wanting to keep more young adults out of defense force greens.

4. The judge gave him an inch, so now they are going for a mile.

10. It took 12 jurors (that his legal team helped pick) 11 hours to convict him 34 times!

How dirty does a serial lying, thrice married
adulterous tax-cheating felonious racist cry
baby, a morally bankrupt "businessman"
-who couldn't make money running a casino-
need to be in order to show up in court for
sentencing?

[Grins]

5. It's been more than 6-months.

Delay, delay, delay. That all the Trump team does. Even with the SCOTUS decision they have had time to prepare. Eff them.

[Midnight Writer]

6. Right, because Trump and his Team are all about "fair and orderly".

7. The defense is over, this is sentencing.

Immunity simply doesn't apply when conducting a crime.

[republianmushroom]

8. You give the convicted felon a little bit and now give us some more.

and now he wants more. Being the convicted felon he will probably be give more.
Our justice system.

9. He wasn't prez when he started those crimes

[Hassin Bin Sober]

11. The problem is they may have used some evidence now inadmissible due to the hand-job the Supreme Court gave him.

There is probably going to be a new trial that will have to be indicted and tried without certain evidence. That’s also why Jack Smith re-indicted trump on the election fraud case - to remove any prohibited evidence referencing his ridiculous immunity shield.

The judge removed the possibility of being overturned before the election. Or so we thought.

Trump wants the trial invalidated for a pre election win.

12. More whining from the lawyers of

the Whiner-In-Chief
