Summary
Donald Trump criticized New York Judge Juan Merchan after the judge set a Jan. 10 sentencing date for Trump’s 34-count felony conviction related to hush money payments.
Trump called for Merchan’s disbarment, accusing him of political bias and corruption, and claimed the case was fabricated by the “Biden/Harris Injustice Department.”
Merchan indicated he may propose no punishment due to presidential immunity.
Trump vowed to appeal the case, citing past legal victories, and reiterated claims of political persecution and judicial bias while condemning the U.S. legal system’s handling of his cases.
Merchan just gave him a free pass, signaling he will not impose any punishment. But Trump’s threats have worked so far to make him always cede more ground, so not surprising that he isn’t stopping even when he’s already thwarted justice.
It’s all so stupid.
