If Merchan doesn't lift the gag order before sentencing, Trump may still give all the justification for a harsh sentencing. 😂
Trump has already given the justification for a harsh sentencing.
He's already doing that by repeatedly violating it.
He's shown such contempt (in both the legal and colloquial sense of the word) for the proceedings and hangs out with so many other convicted criminals on a daily basis that probation is more or less out of the question.
When is he due to be sentenced?
July 11th.
Can't come soon enough.
Can they appeal after sentencing, does that have to come before?
They've already appealed and the court didn't see enough to justify an appeal. So that appeal was declined. Thats what the OP article is about. Sentencing doesn't stop or interfere with the appeal process.
No they will still appeal the conviction. This was an appeal on the gag order.
Thanks!
Neither can I lol
You can't multiply by zero
lol i hope he has a coronary.
When he is in hell all his poops will be large cubes with sharp hard corners.
Let me introduce you to wombat poop. Go ahead and google that.
Those are a more relaxed sort of cube, though. Not that sharp and presumably not terribly hard either.
Imagine pooping legos.
Not what I needed first thing in the morning, but thanks. Now I am. 😄
