We will see if merchan not only has the balls but the ingrained blueprints of the rule of law. The case he's deciding has absolutely no connection to the presidency, has no bearing on any law of reason to dismiss whatsoever. All or at least half the country's right to justice, 12 jurists of his peers who sacrificed their time and personal freedom, not to mention the awful stress of that case. The fact that he's a convicted felon has no bearing on his 4 years coming up of government office.

The defense has tried to say that the case is going to upset and trouble the president elect from doing his job. It isn't supposed to matter what comes after as any other criminal would be prison because that's what normally comes after sentencing.

merchan has to stick to the laws and not go political. To dismiss this case would not only be a major nail in the coffin of democracy, it would be a political decision that merchan should not be influenced to do. merchan should sentence shitface to something and put the sentencing to commence after he's out.
He still has to rule whether any of the counts conflict with the scrotum courts illegal and immoral immunity rules. None of them should not. If merchan sentences shitface or keeps the case active till he's out of office, this will give strength to any case being held up now. If he fails our country, not a single case will survive. Because all the other judges will cave as well. This is incredibly huge for our country. Just to keep the case till 4 years would be a giant success for democracy.

Trump indictment follows 50 years of investigation on many fronts

March 30, 2023
[...]
Now, 50 years after federal officials first accused Trump and his father of violating laws that barred racial discrimination in apartment rentals, the former president has been indicted, according to multiple people briefed on the matter. While the indictment has not been made public, a Manhattan grand jury has been investigating the payment of hush money to a professional stripper and adult film actress who threatened to go public with her allegation that Trump had an affair with her years before he won the White House.

Already, Trump’s statements about the Daniels case have followed a pattern he set as far back as 1973, when federal prosecutors accused Trump and his father, Fred, a prominent New York City apartment developer, of turning away Black people who wanted to rent from them. In that case, Trump first denied the allegation, then said he didn’t know his actions were illegal, and then, through his lawyer, accused the government of conducting a bogus “Gestapo-like investigation.”

This time, Trump initially said he’d never had any sexual relationship with Daniels or that, as he told friends privately, Daniels was not his type. Then, he said he didn’t know Daniels had been paid $130,000 to remain silent about their alleged relationship, which he denies existed. And then he said that perhaps he had known about the payment, but that he never ordered his attorney, Michael Cohen, to make it.
