Summary

Prosecutors in Trump’s case involving 34 felony counts of falsifying business records tied to hush money payments have proposed delaying sentencing until after his presidency, citing the unique legal challenges posed by his election.

Trump’s lawyers argue the case should be dismissed based on a Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity, but prosecutors assert that the trial evidence remains strong.

This case marks the first criminal conviction of a former U.S. president and has sparked intense legal and political controversy.

    I think this is one of those cases where we’re using different language but completely agree.

    What I meant by mistakes was that they weren’t making trial mistakes. They were making dumb ass political calculations when they should have been seeking justice. I generally think of that as a “tried and failed” tactic rather than “we were misguided”.

    That being said, you’re right. Playing politics rather than treating everyone equally under the law is a huge fucking mistake.
