Reuters: JUDGE DELAYS DONALD #TRUMP'S SENTENCING IN HUSH MONEY CASE UNTIL NOV. 26
-
2/ Phang:
Merchan reinforces his decision to delay with this rationale: "Adjourning decision on the motion and sentencing, if such is required, should dispel any suggestion that the Court will have issued any decision or imposed sentence either to give an advantage to, or to create a disadvantage for, any political party and/or any candidate for any office."

And yet, in yesterdayβs proceedings, Judge Chutkan went to great pains to reinforce that the election calendar will have no influence on the judicial calendar. -
@Dotards Right. I like her style more. But I also don't think Merchan is a Trumpy as so many are saying now.
They weren't saying that during the trial.

I don't think Merchan is at all Trumpy. He showed throughout the trial that he was very fair.
At first I was pissed, but the more I thought about it and his reasoning for THIS case, I think he may have done the right thing. Sentencing Trump now just gives him and his campaign more victimization oxygen.
It's sort of like the aftermath of Biden's debate performance. Turned out to be the best thing to happen.

Pretty much agree with this. It would have taken up all the oxygen. Hard to say what impact it would have had, but we may be better off without it.
