The sentencing was called off without explanation Tuesday in a short note by the court. The update on the court docket came on the same day that Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg faces a deadline to give the court his recommendation on how the case should play out.
Whether Justice Juan Merchan decides the hush money case should proceed to sentencing, gets delayed for four years or is simply dismissed outright is an open question hanging over the president-elect. Trumps attorney said in a letter to the court last week that there strong arguments for dismissal, while Braggs office said the jurys verdict must also be considered.

(37,389 posts)If not, there is no excuse for postponing the sentencing. Send tsf to jail within 72 hrs of sentencing; he's had more delay then anyone could possibly deserve. Leave it up to the electors (Oh! The irony!) to decide if they want to cast their votes for someone serving a prison sentence, who can't even appear on the steps of the Capitol to be sworn into office without his parole officer's permission, which should not be granted -- let the Chief Justice and GOP leadership inaugurate him in his cell, or in the visitation room behind bulletproof glass, with plenty of photogs present. Even if they do swear him in, NY should not be obligated to release a criminal who has not yet served his sentence, nor even grant him any exceptions to rules governing visiting hours or phone calls. Buying or stealing an election should not, under any circumstances, be a "Get Out of Jail Free" card.
Interesting tidbit:
