Michael Cohen Doesn't Want Donald Trump Jailed in 2029: 'Horrible to See'

The People agree that these are unprecedented circumstances,

Colangelo wrote

It is now abundantly clear that Americans want an immediate end to the weaponization of our justice system,

Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said in a statement on Tuesday

The stay, and dismissal, are necessary to avoid unconstitutional impediments to President Trump's ability to govern,

Bove wrote

I don't believe, especially now, that Judge Merchan will have any choice other than to say: 'The decision is the decision; you can't go back in time,'

Cohen said,

I never thought that Donald Trump was going to be incarcerated; in fact, you've heard me say I don't think he should be,

Cohen said

I think they will push it off to after the four years, at which point in time he will be 82-plus years of age,

Cohen continued

A sitting president can't be prosecuted, and the statute of limitations may have run by the time Trump is out of office,

Rahmani said

There is no double jeopardy issue when a judge orders a mistrial because of inadmissible evidence,

former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani told Newsweek

That fact will almost surely prevent or delay any further criminal proceedings until Trump again is no longer president,

he said

Now, I was there during President Trump’s trial, and I watched this judge adjudicate matters unconstitutionally on an hourly basis. So, I'm not sure he has the wherewithal to do what's necessary under the law and forbid and stop politicization and weaponization of justice,

Patel said

The joint application for a stay of the current deadlines... until November 19, is granted,

the court wrote in an email to parties in the case

The People agree that these are unprecedented circumstances and ... require careful consideration to ensure that any further steps in this proceeding appropriately balance the competing interests of (1) a jury verdict of guilt following trial that has the presumption of regularity; and (2) the Office of the President,

prosecutor Matthew Colangelo wrote

For all the pages that defendant devotes to his current motion, the evidence that he claims is affected by the Supreme Court’s ruling constitutes only a sliver of the mountains of testimony and documentary proof that the jury considered in finding him guilty of all 34 felony charges beyond a reasonable doubt,

Assistant District Attorney Matthew Colangelo wrote in a 69-page response

The record is clear: [the district attorney] was wrong, very wrong,

Blanche added

No President of the United States has ever been treated as unfairly and unlawfully as District Attorney Bragg has acted towards President Trump in connection with the biased investigation, extraordinarily delayed charging decision, and baseless prosecution that gives rise to this motion,

his attorney Todd Blanche wrote at the time

Andrew McCarthystar

Understand, Trump is not going to prison even if Merchan metes out an incarceration sentence. Though the charges are felonies, they are not sufficiently serious under New York law to merit immediate detention; Trump will get bail pending appeal,

Andrew McCarthy, a former U.S. prosecutor for the Southern District of New York, wrote in an op-ed last week for Fox News Digital

In New York today, we saw that no one is above the law. Donald Trump has always mistakenly believed he would never face consequences for breaking the law for his own personal gain,

Michael Tyler, Biden’s communications director, said

Because an Indictment so tainted cannot stand, the charges must be dismissed,

Blanche argued

There are several murky aspects of the court's ruling, but one that is particularly relevant to this case is the issue of what counts as an official act,

said George Mason University law professor Ilya Somin

He'll ask every court in the world to intervene if he can, including the Supreme Court, so that could drag things out a bit, ... The Specter of Dictatorship: Judicial
