'Desperate' NYC judge torched by legal analyst over Trump sentencing: This has 'backfired spectacularly'

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

63% : It drove a lot of them to Donald Trump and he won.
48% : Bragg, in November, requested to Judge Juan Merchan that the case be stayed until the end of Trump's second term, but Trump attorneys noted that the Office of Legal Counsel in the Justice Department concluded that "the categorical prohibition on the federal indictment of a sitting president...even if the case were held in abeyance...applies to this situation.
39% : That was the whole goal of indicting Trump and putting him on trial.
29% : And understand, under the law, Trump is not officially convicted of anything until he's formally sentenced, even though many in the media, of course, began immediately and incorrectly calling him a convicted felon when the jury verdict came in.
27% : If you're Trump, a misdemeanor business records violation somehow becomes a phantom felony.
25% : "They added that Bragg's "ridiculous suggestion that they could simply resume proceedings after President Trump leaves Office, more than a decade after they commenced their investigation in 2018, is not an option.
22% : Jarrett called out New York officials for focusing on Trump despite rampant crime in the blue state.
15% : "Trump attorneys said the case "would never have been brought were it not for President Trump's political views, the transformative national movement established under his leadership, and the political threat that he poses to entrenched, corrupt politicians in Washington, D.C. and beyond."
