Normally I don’t pay attention to positive spins like this. Too much dopey hopey.
But this ruling is so egregious - so blatant that one can smell it being overturned as we speak.
The question is whether it will be overturned before the election. Their goal is to get a conviction before the election and McAfee’s ruling may permit them to do that. If the conviction gets overturned on appeal (as it should be, but I wouldn’t count on it...depends on which judges make the ruling) it will be after the election. If Trump is defeated in the election they may spare him prison...otherwise they want to see him in prison. That would delight the media and the overwhelming majority of Democrats.
You have to wonder if that isn’t the judge’s intent. If you wanted the case ended, but wanted it done by the hand of another, this is exactly what you would have done. The ruling is so full of egregious actions by the both of them that it is literally begging and screaming for an appeal.
