Only this jerk gets all of these "appeals" before he is even sentenced!

[nottiification]

Yeah im sure all felons would like to delay their sentencing.

[Neverland]

Because he can't get a pardon out of a state conviction, thats why

[paulmullen]

This is ridiculous. Put him in prison.

[Jandipark]

He did not delay execution of prisoners who requested him to delay, now he is scared,

[thomthom]

Justice delayed is justice denied... for the people.

[glennwelsh]

He's already been convicted. He's trying to delay his sentencing.

[Muttinchopsforever]

The STINK!! goes on and on with no accountability

[r_p_m]

There is no delay to his conviction. He is already convicted of 34 felonies. He is trying to delay sentencing.

[rohnleidigh]

Who better to continually try and skirt the law than a criminal. This one is looking for every angle.

[stevenpike]

At this point he's delaying it in the hopes he'll be laid to rest before he is held responsible. He's going to get clobbered in November.

[nelsoncruz]

No delay ..judge says you go to court on stepember 18

[Ranger.]

Iam voting for Harris/Walz in 67 days!

[CountryWilly]

What trump did in Arlington Cemetery should be enough for the American citizens to send him a very strong message never mind all the charges

[RonaldHigashiyama]

Don't let him or his lawyers move this case anywhere. He's already been convicted by a jury of his peers. He's not above the law, and neither are his lawyers.

[ConnerOfRS]

All these taxpayer dollars wasted on court proceedings for the GOP's orange Jesus.

[yveeriksson]

Why not move the trial to Russia, so his friend Putin can pardon him.

[sifisodube]

Or he knows that his going to jail crazy old man must go to jail

[UncleWally]

What does it say about Americans that so many believe this man is worthy of representing America?

[sangvannarath]

I don't get it. If he doesn't think he did anything wrong, why does he keep delaying? Why has no-one called him out on that?? Lay the hammer down on this clown.
