“I can only hope that Donald Trump's relentlessly violent rhetoric will provoke a response from government agencies, prosecutors, and courts…Donald Trump is the most dangerous person to our communities and to the American people. . And he is also a defendant on pretrial release in multiple criminal cases,” Kirshner said. “And he is a defendant awaiting sentencing before being released in yet another criminal case.”
“The law states that if a person on release for a felony poses a danger to the community, their release should be revoked and they should be detained pending trial or sentencing,” he added. “But I have all but given up hope that government agencies will apply this law as intended, the same way it applies to you or me or anyone else in the country. They refuse to apply that to Donald Trump.”
A Manhattan jury in May convicted Trump on 34 counts of falsifying business documents related to repaying his then-lawyer for a non-disclosure agreement with porn actress Stormy Daniels. Sentencing against the former president was scheduled for September 18, but Judge Juan Melchán postponed the date to November 26 “if necessary.” According to According to his order of September 6th.
Former federal prosecutor Andrew Cherkasky said Marchand's decision could signal an intention to jail Trump after the November election.
“As the election approaches, I'm going to change my focus, but I don't expect prosecutors or courts to do anything about the danger that Donald Trump poses to our country and our people. But maybe, just maybe… , after his landslide loss in the election, and he will, there will probably come a time when government agencies apply the rule of law to Donald Trump, better late than never.” said Kirshner. “He is no longer a presidential candidate. There is no reason for prosecutors and courts to act fearlessly and apply the law without giving equal favor to Donald Trump.”
“And maybe after he loses the election, the courts will issue what's called a show cause order, forcing Donald Trump to revoke his pretrial release or suspend him pending sentencing. “It will direct whether the revocation or detention in the criminal case should be revoked or not,” he continued. “It certainly should have happened and should have happened a long time ago. And I hope we don't have to wait for a second insurrection inspired and incited by Donald Trump. I've seen that movie, but I don't know how much longer our country can last.”
