With President-elect Donald J. Trump’s sentencing on hold, his lawyers are pushing to dismiss the case. The district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg, is opposing the effort.

    I support this. If he somehow survives another 4 years, throw him in jail after where he belongs

            That’ll happen regardless. They’ll martyr Trump before midterms and use that as a reason to declare martial law and cancel elections.

              i really hope you’re wrong about that second part. keep in mind this is probably like 50% cope on my end, so take it with a grain of salt. but i do hope that jd vance’s sheer unpopularity will make that hard. it seemed like everybody hated him going into the election, and they were voting only for trump. so if trump gets martyred, i could see the party fracturing, with many people unwilling to blindly follow vance in the same way they followed trump.

      It sucks but this is the realistically the only way he’ll ever see justice, assuming there’s courts in 4 years.

      Seriously? Do you really think this country will ever apply the law to a rich R? I’ve got some bridges to sell you pal.
