Social Media Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Former President Donald Trump is set to virtually attend a pre-sentencing probation interview following his conviction in the New York hush-money trial. The interview, which will be conducted by a female New York probation officer, is expected to take place from Trump's Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, Florida, using a specially secured virtual network instead of the more common Zoom platform. This arrangement is unusual as pre-sentencing interviews are typically conducted in person, though the virtual format in this case has been adopted for security reasons. The purpose of pre-sentencing interviews is to provide the judge with additional insight and information before determining the sentence. Although these interviews are routine for those convicted of state and federal crimes, it is highly irregular for them to be conducted via video conference. Additionally, Judge Juan Merchan, who is overseeing the case, signed an order permitting Trump’s defense attorney, Todd Blanche, to be present during the interview. This too is an anomaly, as these interviews are usually conducted without the presence of the defendant's lawyers. Judge Merchan will review the interview before sentencing Trump on July 11. This date falls just days before the Republican National Convention, where Trump is expected to be officially named as the GOP candidate to run against Democratic President Joe Biden in the upcoming general election. Despite facing a potential sentence of up to four years in prison, most legal experts predict that Trump will receive probation, considering his lack of previous criminal records and other mitigating factors such as his age. In the lead-up to his sentencing, Trump has maintained a defiant stance, vowing to appeal the conviction and calling for intervention by the U.S. Supreme Court. Steven Cheung, Trump’s campaign spokesman, reiterated this determination in a statement, asserting that Trump and his legal team are taking necessary steps to challenge the Manhattan district attorney's case. Last month, a Manhattan jury found Trump guilty on 34 counts of falsifying business records. The charges stem from efforts to cover up hush-money payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election campaign. The payments were intended to suppress allegations that could have harmed Trump's chances of winning the presidency.

He must be absolutely ready to explode lol 😂 As with the old spiritual: Keep your eyes on the Prize. To me, the prize is that Trump is not again elected President. His felony conviction, for whatever charge, likely does not help him. Widespread gloating over his felony conviction, maybe does.

Popular Post Hanaguma Posted June 11 Popular Post Share Posted June 11 I guess the media is enamoured with using the phrase "hush money" to describe Trump's conviction. Too bad it isnt true. Paying the whore to be quiet was not illegal. It was the paperwork done afterwards where a Franken-felony was created. But I guess it just doesn't sound as sexy to say "book-keeping error conviction". 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something a lot of the anti-Trump crowd don't realize is that a lot of Trump voters actually don't like him that much. There is no cult. But they look at two things- the state of America when Trump was president, and the state of America under Biden. And they prefer the former. It is pragmatics, not personality. 1 1 1 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way, deliberate illegal bookkeeping, hence the conviction. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I’m saying it because it is true.

Only glad to oblige Yes and I have posted that because on several occasions you have suggested that -- based upon my analysis of Trump's legal positions especially on this criminal case that is also supported by multiple left leaning legal scholars -- I am not sufficiently anti-Trump to be genuinely anti-Trump. But asking you who you have voted for is almost like asking most girls if you can look up their dress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does 34 counts of falsification of business records in the first degree, with intent to "aid or conceal" another crime when falsifying said records, which in this case was to conceal the payments from the public and therefore influnce the 2016 election, which in turn is a violation of New York election law? Is that sexy enough for you? P.S. Paying a 'whore' as you so eloquently put it IS illegal in New York. Paying a porn star isn't.
