Is the DOJ going to appeal Mercham's delay for trump's sentencing.

[BSdetect]

Seems like a no brainer given there is no precedent making such a huge concession.

And if the orange idiot wins can he just do whatever he wants?

I know it's unlikely but why then delay the sentence.

Crazy times.

[Think. Again.]

1. I believe the prosecution already agreed to the delay.

2. Two things

It’s “Merchan” with an “n.”

The election interference/hush money case was brought by State of New York, not the DOJ.

3. DOJ has nothing to do with the NY case

That would be NY County District Attorney Alvin Brag's office. But the trial judge has a great deal of discretion in scheduling cases. There really are no grounds for appeal.

4. The Merchan case is in New York courts

The DOJ is a federal justice agency - it has no juristiction over New York courts.
