George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley on Friday said that Judge Juan Merchan’s decision to delay former President Donald Trump’s sentencing could be an effort to avoid boosting his campaign.
Merchan had scheduled Trump’s sentencing for Sept. 18, but on Friday, he postponed the date to Nov. 26 “if necessary,” according to his order. Turley, on “America Reports,” claimed that Merchan’s rulings against Trump during his case were advantageous to his reelection bid, suggesting that maintaining the September sentencing date would have further intensified support for the former president.

Well, it doesn't take a law professor to figure that one out.

Isn't it a great shame that a person as Malignant as Judge Merchan holds such an office. I certainly hope that one day he gets what he deserves.

Perhaps the plan is to sentence Trump to jail in case he wins the election. What happens if Trump is in jail on inauguration day? These people are desperate.

Should a judge be so calculating? Shouldn't they be men of integrity who are fair-minded and just?

The judge has postponed the date to Nov 26, if required! Indicating what’s going on in his mind.

Last month, a week before the assassination attempt, he delayed sentencing until Sept. 18th. He also said “if necessary” at that time, too.

Perhaps Merchan realized that he didn’t want history to remember him as the guy who blew apart the entire country.

I don't think Merchan cares what anybody thinks about him. He intends to try to do his part in destroying Trump. Merchan is self-consumed with TDS. Nothing else matters to him. He couldn't care less about getting dis-barred and being completely shunned by his peers. Hate brings with it serious consequences.

Merchan has a serious and highly publicized conflict of interest - personally and via his daughter. Not interested in judicial suicide?

Merchan cares nothing about Turley's postulates. Merchan knows his case is on eggshells, postponed it until after the election, so he could sentence Trump to jail, and embarrass him. Merchan knows Trump will appeal to avoid jail, and eventually have the case thrown out by SCOTUS---but he will have succeeded in smearing him, and costing Trump time and millions. I hope Trump appoints Mike Davis AG, who has said he would settleup with Merchan and the rest of the lawfare group.

Another foreign born judge who causes election interference on a national scale knowing that the leftists in government will protect him. Time will tell on the last part however, as rules of "discovery" may yield horrifically damaging evidence of "collusion" between WH and DOJ and State of NY to put this one in the "win column" for Kommonlaw Harris.

I'm guessing a whole bunch of dems in NYC have been red pilled. Merchan knows his bacon will get cooked if doesn't delay.

Merchan and Bragg knew from the beginning that this farce would be thrown out on appeal. Bragg wanted to be in the news to advance his political career. Their mission was to get Trump convicted as a felon and they accomplished that. It didn’t have the impact on Trump that they were hoping for, quite the opposite. Look for this mess to die. The appeal process would expose them for what they are.

If he didn't figure it out on his own, I'm sure he got a late-night visit from someone who 'splained it to him.

Has anyone heard that Merchan is being sued to get his personal info and his daughter's that directly relates to the Kamala presidential campaign? That would blow up the whole lawfare against President Trump! Hugh Hewitt was talking about that on his radio radio.
