Soros Operative and Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg Backs Down; Will Not Oppose Trump's Motion to Delay Sentencing Until After the Election

This doesn't mean the sentencing will be delayed. Judge Merchan, as vicious and stupid a partisan as exists, can still, on his own dubious authority, insist that the sentencing take place just in time to #FortifytheElection.

But that's going to be more difficult when the prosecuting attorney doesn't oppose Trump's motion to delay.

Still, with Merchan's daughter making millions on this farce, I wouldn't put it past Merchan to reject Trump's motion.

DA Alvin Bragg's office announced it would not oppose Trump's request to push his sentencing date, leaving the final decision to Judge Juan Merchan.
Trump's legal team argues that sentencing on Sept. 18th, just weeks before the election, would constitute election interference and is seeking a delay.
The defense is also exploring appeals based on a recent Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity, claiming it could impact the case.
Diving Deeper:
According to a report from POLITICO, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office has chosen not to oppose former President Donald Trump's request to delay his sentencing in the New York criminal case until after the upcoming November election. The decision on whether to grant this delay now lies with New York Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan.
In a letter addressed to Merchan and dated August 16th, Bragg's office, represented by Assistant District Attorneys including Matthew Colangelo, indicated that they would "defer to the Court on the appropriate post-trial schedule that allows for adequate time to adjudicate defendant's motion while also pronouncing sentence 'without reasonable delay.'" The letter became public on Monday.
The former president's legal team, including lawyers Todd Blanche and Emil Bove, submitted their own letter to the court on Thursday, arguing that holding the sentencing as scheduled on September 18th would be tantamount to election interference, given that it is set just seven weeks before Election Day. They requested that the sentencing be postponed until after the election, allowing Trump to consider his next legal steps after Judge Merchan's expected ruling on September 16th. The defense is seeking to overturn the verdict and dismiss the case, citing a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity, which they argue should apply to Trump's case.
In response, Bragg's office acknowledged that the denial of immunity from prosecution is immediately appealable, but contended that the issue of immunity does not apply in this instance. They emphasized that the only question before the court concerns the admissibility of certain evidence based on a new evidentiary rule derived from the Supreme Court's ruling.
Despite this, Bragg's office stated they would defer to the court on whether to adjourn the sentencing to allow for any necessary appellate litigation, highlighting the significant public safety and logistical preparations required for court appearances in this high-profile case.
Trump's campaign spokesman, Steven Cheung, called for the dismissal of the case, labeling it an "Election Interference Witch Hunt" and referencing the Supreme Court's mandate on presidential immunity.

The Soros DA Bragg also just announced that he will be charging a violent, cop-attacking Columbia Mostly Peaceful President with only a misdemeanor, so that this solid citizen can keep his precious law license.

A professional left-wing activist and trust fund heir who joined Columbia University students in storming and occupying a university building last April also has an active law license in New York, records show. He's set to keep it, too, even if he's convicted on the charge he's facing, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.
James Carlson, who also goes by Cody, burned an Israeli flag, violently stormed Columbia's Hamilton Hall, clashed with a facilities worker, and allegedly broke a police camera while detained. He was arrested on April 20 on a misdemeanor arson charge and again on April 30, the day that New York City police swept Columbia and cleared Hamilton Hall, for burglary, a felony in New York.
By the time Carlson and other Hamilton Hall arrestees attended their June court hearings, however, the Manhattan district attorney's office--led by Alvin Bragg--opted to pursue a reduced charge against Carlson: criminal trespassing, a misdemeanor. As a result, Carlson, a trust fund kid who specializes in animal rights law and lists his $2.3 million Brooklyn townhouse on his active New York attorney registration, faces little risk of losing his license.
Under New York law, a felony conviction is automatic grounds for disbarment. Because Bragg's office only pursued a misdemeanor charge against Carlson, the protester doesn't face that risk. A misdemeanor trespassing conviction could prompt a disciplinary hearing but would not automatically trigger one.
Carlson did not respond to a request for comment. The State of New York Grievance Committee, which handles attorney complaints, referred the Free Beacon to the Office of the Clerk of the Court, which said Carlson "is currently licensed and in good standing."

This is all high-powered back-door Democrap machine politics. I'm not invited to those meetings. It's well-known (if not talked about) that the machine rigged the normal judicial selection process to get this shitcock Merchan assigned to the case.

Merchan is known as a reliably leftwing party hack and stooge. He's a whore who will do what he's told. That's actually a good thing in this instance. If indeed Fat Bragg's decision not to oppose the delay is a signal from the powerbrokers that they want this thing buried, then Merchan will never cross them.

The process to appoint judges to cases is supposed to be random. It rarely is especially in big politically-charged cases. Trump was convicted before the case even started.

Very odd incident. The car was in the enclosed trailer at the time. I doubt the fire started with the car itself.

But kind of ironic that a simple, obsolete 70s car with no electrification to speak of burns to a crisp, while new supercars with massive lithium batteries have no issues. If you watch the videos, though, they barely drove the supercars. Just a few revs and maybe drive from the trailer to the stage.

161 117 110 Anyone voting for Rfk jr over Trump isn't going to vote for Trump. I don't care what the "polls" say, Jr is not taking votes from Trump. Anyone who would think "well Trump is kinda icky but I don't like the other ticket either so I'll just vote for a left-wing Democrat that says he is independent" ..... That's not a Trump voter. Period. That vote will go to Kamala or stay home.

There is a segment of RFK Anti-Covid vax folks who would 100% vote for Trump...

They will never vote Kamala, but feel Trump burned them so they want to give RFK a vote...

There is also a segment of RFK voters who will never vote for Kamala, but who just want someone younger (and 8 years IS younger) and with no baggage of office...take away the "no baggage" vote and some may drop to Trump vs not voting...

If the 3500 dollar 'burb is clean, presentable, and non-rusty, it is worth that. It has probably hit rock bottom on the depreciation cycle.

The '99 and '00 had a unique steering problem; they tried to to make the power steering "speed sensitive" by including a solenoid valve in the steering pump output, driven by software in the ECM. That proved to be so troublesome, they abandoned it. If the truck's steering feels jerky or "coggy" at low speed, and twitchy above 55 MPH, you have the issue. Simple fix: remove solenoid valve from steering pump, and replace with outlet elbow from aftermarket, about 29 dollars.

Dad kicks me out of the examiner chair, and starts asking questions. It was great. "And what is your address, is 1400 Milnard correct?" My dumb brother ... "Yes, that's right"

241 The Germans' problem was that they never successfully engineered a tank that could run on Fuhrerpfuffen.

IOW, he's not the father?

244 The Panther or PanzerKampfwagen V was really sufficient for most Allied armored adversaries.

The interleaving of the road wheels was supposed to provide a superior ride experience. But it made things more complicated to make and if you needed to replace an inner road wheel, good luck.

246 Panthers and Tigers: exquisite tanks handcrafted in workshops.

Quantity has a quality of its own.
Posted by: Joe Mannix (Not a cop!)

They were not exquisite tanks. They had generally better guns (Panther Mk V had a 75 mm high velocity gun, the Tiger had the 88 High velocity gun), and thicker frontal armor. y
They were generally underpowered, with the same Maybach V-8 gas engine, and their "final drive" gearing was weak. Their transmissions kept breaking down.
A Panzer commander once said in a post war interview, if he went into battle with 16 working Tigers, they would be down to 4 in about 3 days.
They even made a rule that a Tiger tank was not allowed to tow a broken down Tiger tank. The Germans left a lot of broken down Tiger 1's on the battlefield.
The Shermans were super reliable, and well built and engineered. They were also fairly easy to repair out in the field.
The T-34 -76 would often go into a long road march with a spare engine strapped onto the back deck. The T-34's had diesels, unlike the gas driven Panzers and Shermans. They broke down a lot too.

251 The judicial system is hopelessly corrupt and incapable of providing justice. On one hand you have corrupt Soros judges and DAs. On the other hand juries made up of idiots, racists, antfa and blm.

252 Bragg didn't opposed the JUDGES! allowance for Delay. Timing is still for october, just after early voting in many places. Trump Wants it delayed till after november, and Merchan said, "Eh, during early voting is good, that way the gag order and threat of imprissonment is real, and likely factualy during the heart of the ACTUAL election." and Bragg goes, "Not what I hoped, but good enough."
