Alvin Bragg Suddenly Caves In Surprise New Move

So, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office just dropped a memo.

He’s basically throwing his hands up in the air in defeat and  leaving the decision of when to sentence Trump up to Judge Juan Merchan.

And it looks like it will be after the November election.

The DA’s team wrote a letter on August 16 saying, ‘Hey Judge, whenever you’re ready, just don’t take too long, okay?’

And on Monday that letter was making it’s rounds on social media.

Fox News reports:

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s office said they would not oppose former President Donald Trump’s request to push his sentencing date for his hush-money conviction until after the November election, leaving the decision up to New York Supreme Court Judge Juan Merchan.

“The People defer to the Court on the appropriate post-trial schedule that allows for adequate time to adjudicate defendant’s motion while also pronouncing sentence ‘without reasonable delay,’” the letter addressed to Merchan and dated Aug. 16 states. The letter, signed by Bragg’s assistant district attorneys, including Matthew Colangelo, a former Biden Justice Department official, was made public on Monday.

In a letter of their own made public on Thursday, Trump lawyers Todd Blanche and Emil Bove suggested that sentencing Trump as scheduled on Sept. 18 – about seven weeks before Election Day – would amount to election interference. They requested to delay the Sept. 18 sentencing in New York v. Trump until after the election.

The lawyers for the former president and current Republican nominee wrote that a delay would also allow Trump time to weigh next steps after Merchan is expected to rule Sept. 16 on the defense’s request to overturn the verdict and dismiss the case because of the U.S. Supreme Court’s July presidential immunity ruling, arguing “there is no basis for continuing to rush.”

“Defendant’s letter indicates for the first time his intent to seek interlocutory state or federal appellate review, before he is sentenced, of any adverse ruling on his motion. It is correct that the denial of immunity from prosecution is immediately appealable,” Bragg’s office wrote. “But here, in contrast to defendant’s criminal case in D.C., the question of defendant’s immunity from prosecution is not presented; the only question now before the Court is whether a small subset of the trial evidence was improperly admitted in light of a brand-new evidentiary rule that derives from official-acts immunity, and if so, whether any error in admitting official-acts evidence was harmless.”

“The Supreme Court’s recent decision did not consider whether a trial court’s ruling on a distinct evidentiary question is immediately appealable, and there are strong reasons why it should not be,” the assistant district attorneys wrote. “Nonetheless, given the defense’s newly-stated position, we defer to the Court on whether an adjournment is warranted to allow for orderly appellate litigation of that question, or to reduce the risk of a disruptive stay from an appellate court pending consideration of that question. The People are prepared to appear for sentencing on any further date the Court sets.”

Actor Robert Davi sums it up nicely.
