Donald Trump’s felony conviction in the New York hush money case should not be tossed out because of the Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity, Judge Juan Merchan ruled Monday.
First, since they’ve already said they have no further intention of pursuing sentencing, his ruling is just meaningless fluff to feed to people who still want to believe that the rule of law even remotely matters when it comes to Trump.
Second, Trump’s ego is all that matters. Most likely, he’s still going to demand exoneration either by some kind of act of Congress, executive order, or simply judge-shopping until he finds a judge that will interfere in the case based on the legal theory of because fuck you that’s why, possibly followed by having Merchan investigated or brought up on bullshit “election interference”, “treason”, or “corruption” charges. And probably his daughter too.
