Figured I’d set up a space for this since no one else has yet.

Personally, I agree mostly agree with Juan Merchan. He shouldn’t have gotten jail time, that would be singling him out and unprecedented for a first time offender.

Any sentence that included a punishment would come with lots of backlash, so this way it’s on the record in the safest way possible.

Thoughts?

I really did wish he sentenced Trump to jail. If this case wasn't about upholding the rule of law, then clearly he is admitting that this was just a political set up, meaning Trump's narrative wins. And now we know threatening criminals with jail time is just an empty threat.

When people like Trump and Merchan just smile at each other in the end, the people think the justice system is just made for TV drama that doesn't really care about right or wrong.

As much as he deserves jail, it’s not for this crime. Falsifying business documents is New Yorks lowest felony, and it’s even a misdemeanor in other states. Almost no other first time offender would get more than a fine, so Trump should be treated the same.

I guess US government doesnt believe in the great purge. (великая чистка).

Still, its amazing how many people thought and still think that Trump is "a very innocent man".

Whether Trump was really set up or not doesn't even matter. The public perception now is that the Justice System either can't or won't hold powerful people accountable.

If they let him go, they are corrupt, and if they sentence him to prison, they are politically motivated.

I guess nothing pleases the American public opinion.

I care about it as much as I care about it when North Korean "judges" declare the american potus a war criminal. I don't care. The 50x down tells us what we already know. Reform in these corrupt states must be fundamental and uncomfortable.

I think the whole thing is an abuse of the judicial system, seems pretty obvious to me. I don't think he is guilty of anything other than sticking a sharp stick in the eye of the govt establishment.

The great power of a totalitarian is that he forces those who fear him to copy him.

It's political either way. If you think he's innocent than these pieces of shits went after him for political reasons. If you think he is guilty than he also got nu punishment for political reasons and these people are still pieces of shits. So no matter how you look at it they are pieces of shits.

He is proving to be right with the court verdict.

You didn't say fake news, witch hunt, and deep state.

Have you forgotten your programming?

The Justice System has forgotten crime needs to be punished in Trump’s case. Americans want the world to know crime is not punished even if you are the president in America.

Yes. You said that Trump isnt guilty, so one can even conclude that he is innocent.

"Reading comprehension" I said "I" don't think he is guilty of anything and let me emphasize "I". It seems quite obvious that the judicial system has been weaponized and  has been used extensively and continuously to charge him with anything they think could get to stick to the wall to prevent him from becoming President again. If you don't see that then in "my opinion" you choose to be willfully blind to it all. And let me emphasize "My opinion"

Again, the OP is asking what "I" think.

Trump was convicted by a jury of his peers. He was found guilty and convicted on 34 counts of felony charges.
