Loser explicitly pleads with the Supreme Court to prevent his sentencing
Donald Trump Sunday made it clear that he wants the Supreme Court to intervene in the former president's upcoming sentencing for 34 criminal convictions for business records fraud in New York.
Trump over the weekend took to his own social media site, Truth Social, to lash out at the upcoming sentencing in July. He could face jail time.
"The 'Sentencing' for not having done anything wrong will be, conveniently for the Fascists, 4 days before the Republican National Convention," Trump complained before claiming the entire judicial system was rigged against him.
"A Radical Left Soros backed D.A., who ran on a platform of 'I will get Trump,' reporting to an 'Acting' Local Judge, appointed by the Democrats, who is HIGHLY CONFLICTED, will make a decision which will determine the future of our Nation?" he asked. "The United States Supreme Court MUST DECIDE!"
As the Guardian's David Smith reported, an analysis by CREW of more than "13,000 messages published by Trump ... found him vowing revenge, retaliation and retribution against his foes."
According to CREW's vice-president for research Robert Maguire, "He is promising to go after what he perceives to be his political enemies. He is promising to essentially weaponise the government against anyone he sees as not sufficiently loyal or who is openly opposed to him."
He added, "He has constantly seeded this idea that the numerous charges against him are trumped-up charges and it seems almost to have given him license to openly say, ‘You’ve done this to me, so I’m going to do it to you.’”
Former President Donald Trump, a convicted felon, suggested that a jail sentence would be a "breaking point" that leads to violence from his supporters.
Trump made the remarks during a Fox News interview aired Sunday.
Politico's senior legal affairs reporter, Kyle Cheney, flagged the statement by the ex-president.
"Trump makes it explicit: he wants the US Supreme Court to somehow prevent his sentencing in New York," Cheney wrote.
