Contributing sentiments towards policy:

49% : Bragg's filling asked Merchan to either sentence Trump before the inauguration, or put the case on hold until after he serves out his second term.
38% : The evidence presented against Trump was "overwhelming," reads the filing, which is also signed by a lead prosecutor on the case, Christopher Conroy.
33% : If successful, Trump would escape altogether his already thrice-delayed sentencing.
29% : Trump paid for Daniels' silence just eleven days before 2016 election, and jurors unanimously found that he thereby conspired to promote his own election by unlawful means, Bragg wrote.
26% : (Legal experts have said that it's unlikely Trump would be sentenced to jail time as a 78-year-old first-time offender convicted of low-level felonies, and any jail sentence would be stayed as he appeals.)
23% : "With just six weeks left before his January 20 inauguration -- and six months after a Manhattan jury convicted him -- Trump is again demanding that New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan immediately dismiss his hush-money case.
21% : Trump was found guilty of criminal contempt ten times for his "extrajudicial speech" -- including social media attacks on witnesses -- during his trial this spring, Bragg wrote.Trump also repeatedly attacked the law clerk and was accused of lying under oath by the judge during last year's civil fraud trial, in which he's been ordered to pay a $454 million judgment.
20% : Later, Trump launched online attacks on Merchan and members of his family.
