"Sentenced":

President-elect Donald Trump received on an unconditional discharge for his criminal conviction in New York on Friday, meaning he will not face fines, prison, or any other penalties.

The former and future president appeared virtually in a Manhattan courtroom on Friday for his sentencing on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to conceal a payment to an adult film star.

During the brief hearing, New York state Judge Juan Merchan said the only lawful sentence that does not encroach on the office of the president is that of an unconditional discharge on all 34 counts.

Don't forget there was plenty of time to sentence him before the election.

@givesomefucks @WabePoliticsNewsBot With respect to Judge Merchan, but bullshit. A fine would have had no impact on the office if the President.
And when the GOP was after Clinton, I don't recall any concerns for the "office if the President" by Congress or the courts.
But Trump is every bit as immune as he said he was, isn't he?

Why are you tagging people, especially ones that are clearly labeled as a bot?

Maybe it's your instance/client doing it automatically?

Because you just did it again.
