Translation, trump's lawfare didn't work."Judge Juan Merchan’s vendetta against Donald Trump has reached Captain Ahab-level madness
Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan is abusing his power one last time in a bid to ensure that Donald Trump is technically a convicted felon when he takes the oath of office Jan. 20.
Yes: The term “convicted felon” doesn’t legally apply until you’ve been sentenced, which is also a requirement for nearly all appeals of a conviction — and Merchan’s many errors over the course of the trial are all too likely to result in Trump’s conviction being reversed.
So the judge has been dragging things out so that he can sentence Trump on Friday, barely a week before the inauguration and with insufficient time to win that reversal.
Merchan on Monday refused to postpone sentencing; a higher state judge has declined to overrule him; Trump’s asked the US Supreme Court to intervene and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s weighing in Thursday morning on why SCOTUS shouldn’t.
Meanwhile, Merchan has indicated the sentence will be “unconditional discharge,” meaning no jail time, no probation, no fine — but Trump’s official conviction would remain on record."

What is this judge going to do once his kangaroo court rulings are curb stomped at the appellate level or better yet by the SCOTUS?
He may need an intervention.
