Karl Rove highlights 'ironic' reason Trump's sentencing delay may have hurt his campaign

Raw Story  

George W. Bush's deputy chief of staff Karl Rove said Friday that Donald Trump’s chances of winning the presidency may have been hurt by the decision to push back sentencing for his criminal conviction. Judge Juan Merchan on Friday ruled that the Sept. 18 sentencing for falsifying business records would be pushed back until Nov. 26 — after the presidential election. “I think that even the judge figured out that it would be enormously disruptive to the country and reflect badly on the judiciary if he attempted to insert himself into the middle of the final stages of a presidential campaign,” Rove said. “That is to say, would have potentially gone after Donald Trump in his verdict and the reaction of the American people might have been wholly negative on it and helped advance the cause of Donald Trump in the election."
