For the best. He was probably just going to get a slap on the wrist anyway and this will give the MAGAts one less thing to feign outrage over.

"The new date means voters will choose their next president without knowing whether the Republican nominee is going to jail, nor whether he will even be sentenced at all.
Merchan now plans to rule Nov. 12 on Trump's request to overturn the verdict and toss out the case because of the U.S. Supreme Court's July presidential immunity ruling.
Merchan explained that he was postponing the sentencing "to avoid any appearance " however unwarranted " that the proceeding has been affected by or seeks to affect the approaching presidential election in which the Defendant is a candidate."

Wow, so Trumpers were right... the NY Courts are out to get Trump!

Yeah.
There sees to be a silence among the MAGA folk on this Court opinion.
Why?

"At first glance, the news that the sentencing in Donald Trump's New York criminal trial has been scheduled for after the presidential election seems like a win for Trump,
but what is also possible, and even likely, is that Judge Merchan put the date after the election because he intends for the sentence to include "confinement," either at home or in jail, and he did not want such a dramatic sentence to influence the election.
Duncan Levin and Kristy Greenberg, former federal prosecutors, share their insights with Alex Wagner."

He's going to look good in orange stripes.

@#4 ... and even likely, is that Judge Merchan ...
One thing I have noticed about Judge Merchan, is that he seems to follow the law, not the politics.

"There Was No Good Legal Reason to Delay Trump's Sentencing
But I don't blame the judge for his decision."
