You know that is a lie. Be better than that!

So now YOU'RE predicting he goes to jail?

Are you a real lawyer or are you a lawyer like ally mcbeal is a lawyer?

Logic games was tough for some testing takers but you get that arguing against all doesn't mean arguing for none? Right?

And what is the prosecution's reason for wanting the delay? They know their case will be tossed if Trump is allowed to appeal?

---

Trump asked to file a motion to dismiss the case after he won the election and asked the case to be stayed (i.e. not proceed to sentencing) while the motion is considered.

The State did not delaying sentencing while the Court decides Trump's motion. Which is the correct thing to do. The case should not proceed to sentencing if there's a possibility it should be dismissed altogether.

Since when has a judge ever been forced to do something one party has requested? Or even both parties have requested?

Merchan is not bound to honor any requests if he doesn't want to. Hell, he doesn't even have to rule on each and every defense motion and has not ruled.

---

That is true! Merchan can rule whenever he wants.

But the fact remains, for now, that he is doing what Trump asked him to do. That could change with the next filing from Team Trump.

And do not mistake this to mean I believe Mercan has altruistic motives here. He clearly does not. He is doing what the State asked, it just so happens Trump asked for the same thing!

Yep. And that people are angry at the Judge and suggesting the Judge is harming Trump by doing exactly what Trump asked for is beyond silly
