Trump says he's prepared for house arrest, but he won't grovel for this corrupt judge.
Former President Donald Trump indicated that he would accept a harsh sentence after his conviction last week in a New York hush money trial that he has derided as a "scam" and refuses to employ a legal strategy in which he grovels for mercy.
"I'm okay with it," Trump said when asked about the potential of house arrest or even jail during a "Fox & Friends Weekend" interview that aired on Sunday. "I saw one of my lawyers the other day on television saying, 'Oh, no, you don't want to do that to the president.' I said, don't, you know, beg for anything. It's just the way it is."
Acknowledging it "could happen," Trump went on to say, "I don't know that the public would stand for it, you know." Trump also said, "I think it'd be tough for the public to take. You know, at a certain point, there's a breaking point."
He also said, "My revenge is going to be success."
I sure hope me means "My revenge is going to be success in getting revenge."
The best revenge is getting revenge.
In his interview on Fox and Friends Weekend with Pete Hegseth, Will Cain and Rachel Campos-Duffy, former President Donald Trump conveyed strong sentiments regarding his recent conviction, which he vehemently dismissed as a political "scam." Utilizing direct quotes from the discussion, Trump expressed his perspective on the broader implications of his legal troubles, asserting, "It's a scam. And the Republican party is really, they've stuck. They stick together in this." He criticized the current administration's policies, highlighting detrimental effects on the constitution and national integrity.
Trump's discussion extended beyond his legal woes to his plans for a political comeback, underlining a commitment to "success" as his form of revenge against what he perceives as corrupt practices by his opponents. This approach, he argues, aligns with the broader fight for American values and constitutional governance, resonating with his supporters amidst ongoing controversies.
Trump seems to have an expedited Supreme Court appeal in mind.
The 'Sentencing' for not having done anything wrong will be, conveniently for the Fascists, 4 days before the Republican National Convention," Trump posted Sunday night on Truth Social.
"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? The United States Supreme Court MUST DECIDE!"
From the Epoch Times, via Hot Air, Derschowitz says Trump should request an expedited hearing from the NY Court of Appeals (their supreme court, confusingly enough), and when that is denied (as it will be denied), it will then be ripe to appeal to the federal Supreme Court itself.
"He should make an appeal to the New York Court of Appeals asking them to bypass the Appellate Division because he's not going to get justice in the Appellate Division," Mr. Dershowitz said, speculating that Appellate Division judges are elected and would be more likely to bow to pressure to reject the Trump team's appeal.

"The Appellate Division or Manhattan judges that are elected and they don't want to have to face their families and say you were the judge who allowed Trump to become the next President of the United States. They don't want to be Dershowitz'ed," he said, referring to blowback he received after defending President Trump in his first impeachment trial in the Senate. ...
"Go to the New York Court of Appeals, ask for an expedited appeal. In the meantime, prepare for an expedited appeal in the United States Supreme Court and say that this was a rush to try to get this case, a verdict of conviction before election, and the Supreme Court of the United States has an obligation to review this case before the election so that the American public knows whether or not Donald Trump is guilty or not guilty of these made up crimes," Mr. Dershowitz said.
The same people who went into full court press to get this travesty tried before the election are suddenly going to tell us that we have all the time in the world for the appeals process.
