A New York Appeals court on Tuesday denied Trump’s request to delay Friday’s sentencing in Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s ‘hush money’ case.

Trump will be sentenced on Friday after appellate Judge Ellen Gesmer said presidential immunity does not cover presidents-elect.

Last week crooked Judge Juan Merchan ordered Trump to be sentenced in Bragg’s hush money case related to Trump’s payments to porn star Stormy Daniels.

.....Snip.....

Judge Ellen Gesmer rejected Trump’s claim that the case should be delayed because of presidential immunity, after his attorney argued before the court that Trump is covered by presidential immunity that extends to him while he waits to be sworn in.

The appellate court heard arguments Tuesday in Trump’s lawsuit against the judge in the case, Juan Merchan, and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, as part of Trump’s effort to halt his sentencing following his criminal conviction in May.

Judge Ellen Gesmer questioned whether immunity granted to sitting presidents extends to presidents-elect.

“I’m curious about that,” she said. “Do you have any support for a notion that presidential immunity extends to Presidents-elect?”

Thank you very much and God bless you.

Off to SCOTUS!!

The fix is in to officially rule Trump is a convicted felon and let the media tarnish him as such in order to demean his presidency.

Democrat stooge-"judge" Ellen Gesmer shows the hand of the DNC at work in the Trump kangaroo court case.

Anyone who sits still for the garbage US courts deserves everything that comes to them from the black-robed stooge-clowns pretending to be Rule of Law people.

Call their bluff, just refuse to show up.

Mark Levin covered this extensively last night and he was exasperated that Trump’s lawyers are screwing around in NY State Courts. He said that they should have been at the Supreme Court weeks ago.
