(DCNF)—A MSNBC legal analyst said that former President Donald Trump probably wouldn’t be sentenced to prison by New York Judge Juan Merchan, citing the upcoming election.
Merchan pushed back the scheduled sentencing of Trump on 34 felony counts of falsification of business records to Sept. 18 following a Monday Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity. Catherine Christian told MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell that Trump’s status as the presumptive nominee would affect how Merchan approached the sentencing.

“I think it’s highly unlikely that Judge Merchan in September is going to put the leading candidate for one party for president in jail, but his options are a jail sentence, and a jail sentence is really defined as a misdemeanor – not a misdemeanor, one year or less,” Christian said. “So that, in New York that would be Riker’s Island.”
“A prison sentence would be a year or more. So, he can give a maximum of four,” Chrisitan continued. “People who keep talking about 20 years and 100, this is not a consecutive case under the law, of the New York law. He can get probation, he can give additional discharge, he can give a fine. He has a number of options he can do; I do not think one of them will be incarceration.”
Merchan came under fire from Trump supporters and legal experts for a perceived bias against Trump over his handling of the business records case, including imposing an expanded gag order April 1 after Trump criticized the judge’s daughter, Loren, in multiple posts on Truth Social, including posting a link to a New York Post report on how Loren Merchan’s firm helped Democrats raise at least $93 million off the former president’s indictment in the case.
Merchan also made a $15 donation to Biden’s presidential campaign in 2020 and two $10 donations to one group called “Stop Republicans” and one to a “Progressive Turnout Project,” according to Federal Election Commission (FEC) records. All the donations were through ActBlue, a fundraising site for Democratic causes.

Controlling Protein Is One of the Globalists’ Primary Goals
Between the globalists, corporate interests, and our own government, the food supply is being targeted from multiple angles. It isn’t just silly regulations and misguided subsidies driving natural foods away. Bird flu, sabotaged food processing plants, mysterious deaths of entire cattle herds, arson attacks, and an incessant push to make climate change the primary consideration for all things are combining for a perfect storm to exacerbate the ongoing food crisis.
The primary target is protein. Specifically, they’re going after beef as the environmental boogeyman. They want us eating vegetable-based proteins, lab-grown meat, or even bugs instead of anything that walked the pastures of America. This is why we launched a long-term storage prepper beef company that provides high-quality food that’s shelf-stable for up to 25-years.
