I don't see that as accurate and I don't hear any similar commentary from other legal pundits.
To my understanding there is NO identifiable crime that Trump has been convicted of and the only listed offense, fraudulent bookkeeping errors, is a misdemeanor whose statute of limitations had expired two year prior.
Bragg's prosecution team fabricated a never tried scheme of saying that the statute had not run out because it was used to perpetrate a felony - a felony that was implied but never charged! It wasn't charged because Bragg had no authority to bring such a charge - a federal campaign violation - and Trump was not allowed to bring in his campaign law expert because that would put the unchargeable campaign crime on the case court record.
Obviously a highly partisan jury was empaneled to convict Donald Trump of an unspecified crime - something never done before in American jurisprudence. Naturally the case will eventually be discarded on appeal but in the meantime, between now and the election in November, the Dems & cohorts can make hay claiming the Republican Presidential candidate is a convicted felon, maybe take the risk of trying to put him in prison.
Most likely the New York state appeal process is intended to consume a year or two time. Someone could try to force the U.S. Supreme Court to intervene immediately 'for the good of the country.' Do you see anyone making such a move? Certainly not the GOP.
At the Republican convention in July keep an eye on Nikki Haley and even Liz Cheney.
Many thankQs for the info; it’s a tangled mess the judge & co. -and their handlers- made of the law.
PDJT’s case absolutely must be appealed, and the lower courts overruled.
Yeah, have another drink. Liz? Sure, I'm out of things to worry about, I'll try that. C'mon man!
