1. This sucks

The amount of favoritism he is being shown is disgusting. I think anyone who wants to committ a crime and wants to get off scott free should just declare they are a Republican running for office, and any attempt to prosecute them is election interference

2. I know - disappointing as hell. And no previous president has committed such egregious crimes against this country.

4. I can't, either! Good Grief, how long is this going to go on?? What happened to a "speedy trial??"

The less violent J6 insurrectionists have already served their jail terms, while their "leader" who planned and was responsible for this desperate effort to overthrow the government - where people died - is STILL walking free and has yet to even face trial!

5. Alvin Bragg did *not* oppose Trump's request for postponement

Alvin Bragg did not oppose the postponement which may be a major factor in Judge Merchant's decision

This might come as a surprise to some. But keep in mind that the prosecution did *not* oppose Trump’s request for postponement. And that appears to be a key factor taken into account by Justice Merchan in determining that Trump’s sentencing hearing ought to be delayed.
