    It’s wonderful how the justice system attempts to be seen as “impartial and non-partisan” only when it will favor Trump.

    He BETTER NOT use this Opportunity to try and get Judge Merchan’s Daughter killed AGAIN! Otherwise the Judge will HAVE to Delay it again to not show Bias!

    I read elsewhere (in the opinion of a trial lawyer) that this may actually be a good sign – that the judge may be considering jail time, which might be strongly challenged in the lead-up to the election, and so delaying it may make that sentence more actionable. That it seems unlikely a monetary sentence would have been delayed.

    I hate to have hope at this point, but I do anyhow.
