Contributing sentiments towards policy:

45% : That would leave open the possibility that Trump could still proceed to sentencing in 2029, after he leaves office.
44% : According to court filings revealed Tuesday, Bragg's office is fiercely opposed to dismissing the case outright but is open to pausing proceedings while Trump serves his second term as president.
41% : The filing comes as Trump, now president-elect, wages a legal battle to quash the 34 felony charges stemming from hush money payments to an adult film star.
36% : Trump was convicted by a Manhattan Jury 'of his peers' on 34 counts of falsifying business records, however his reelection to the highest office in the land has put a damper on prosecutors' plans.
31% : Among them: delaying sentencing until after Trump leaves office in 2029 or freezing the case while leaving the jury's guilty verdict intact, The Hill reports.
31% : Sentencing was initially scheduled for last month, only to be postponed indefinitely by Judge Merchan, making it increasingly unlikely Trump will face punishment anytime soon.
26% : They argue that immunity doesn't apply until Trump is inaugurated, meaning the case could theoretically proceed to sentencing before January 20, 2025 -- a prospect Trump has vowed to fight tooth and nail.
23% : Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg - who had a Biden DOJ plant in his legal case against former President Donald Trump - is trying to ensure his hush money case doesn't vanish into thin air as Trump prepares for his return to the White House.
15% : Prosecutors hit back, accusing Trump of using delay tactics to muddy the waters.
