Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg says he won't oppose Trump's request to delay the Sept. 18 sentencing

[excalibur]

Unless Merchan is a complete idiot (always a possibility), this will get pushed until after the election.

I wonder who put the word in Bragg's ear to not contest the Trump request?

Anyway, this case is eventually going away completely.

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 DA is awaiting orders from his masters. His masters know that sentencing Trump will backfire. Either way, never think think that Bragg acts on his own.,
