What's at stake in Trump's hush-money criminal case? Judge to rule on key issues as trial date nears

Former President Donald Trump is expected in court Thursday for an important hearing in his New York hush-money criminal case, which now appears increasingly likely to go to trial next month.

Judge Juan Manuel Merchan is set to rule on key pretrial issues and say for certain if the trial will begin as scheduled on March 25. If that happens, the New York case will be the first of Trump’s four criminal indictments to go to trial.

Trump’s lawyers have asked Merchan to dismiss the case entirely. The judge’s recent activities suggest that’s unlikely to happen. In recent weeks, court records show, Merchan has been communicating with defense lawyers and Manhattan prosecutors to plan jury selection for a March trial.

And Trump will still be walking around free as fuck.

I wagered $100 that he’ll be sentenced to at least a year in jail before the election.

Come on Merchan…

I got bad news.

Ain’t gonna happen.

Though…. I think, if we wanted to do the world some good, we start a go fund me to buy trump as much McDonald’s as Trump wants.

Send him the coupons, or something. We can also take bets if he dies from clogged arteries or… whatever the term is for shits that can’t be shat.

This is a civil trial. He can’t be jailed unless this is the one judge that actually holds him in contempt of court when he does his act.
