Judge sentences Donald Trump with unconditional discharge in hush money conviction

On Friday, the sentencing of President-elect Donald Trump saw one of the most impassioned defense arguments given at such a hearing in years … from the judge himself.

Acting Justice Juan Merchan admitted that the case was “unique and remarkable” but insisted that “once the courtroom doors were closed, the trial itself was no more special, unique, and extraordinary than the other 32 cases in this courthouse.”

This guy trying to end this on a "positive" note for himself before Trump is sworn in. Maybe he thinks that will save him somehow. I hope not.

It’s not hush money, it’s a non disclosure agreement. Completely legal

Appeal.
There can be NO headway against lawfare while this stands, especially if other biased Judges force it to the Supreme Court.
