NEW YORK (PNN) - September 6, 2024 - A New York judge on Friday delayed President Donald J. Trump’s sentencing until Nov. 26, a ruling that ensures Trump will not face any criminal punishment until after the election.

Trump has already had successfully dismissed or tied up three of his four politicized criminal cases until after the election. Friday’s ruling hands Trump another victory in the bogus, politicized lawfare case.

Judge Juan Merchan, whose conflicts of interest have been proven, and who still refuses to recuse himself even though his daughter has directly financially benefited from the case, was set to sentence Trump on Sept. 18.; but he granted the delay after Trump contended it was necessary for several reasons, including that he would first appeal if Merchan doesn’t toss the 34-count conviction on presidential immunity grounds.

In his ruling, Merchan emphasized that by pushing back the sentencing, it would ensure that the presidential election in November is not affected by his judgment, and vice versa.

“This matter is one that stands alone, in a unique place in this Nation’s history, and this court has presided over it since its inception,” Merchan wrote.

Ever since the Supreme Court upheld the time-honored principle of presidential immunity, Trump has experienced newfound success in attacking the unlawful lawfare that has been criminally used against him in an attempt to prevent him from campaigning for the presidency.

After the Supreme Court ruled that former presidents’ official acts carry at least presumptive criminal immunity and that any protected conduct can’t be brought in as evidence - Trump successfully sought delays and dismissals on the bogus cases.

In a statement, Trump campaign spokesman Steven Cheung emphasized that there should be no sentencing at all in the case and that, “as mandated by the United States Supreme Court,” Trump’s hush money case and other legal matters should be dismissed.
