Many months from now we will have already found out what the future holds as to the November election and the battles over vote counting and certification.
Only one hope is a loophole for the SCOTUS to intervene earlier than the appeals courts on one of the points according to a couple of analysts. But that is a longshot. They otherwise will wait until long after the slow months of New York appeals and the election are over.
House Speaker Johnson and the attorney for Trump are not actually saying the SCOTUS will do anything but wait, however.
Yahoo News:
Trump’s defense attorney, Todd Blanche, told CNN on Thursday that his client had not received a fair hearing. He said that it was not possible to assemble an impartial jury in Manhattan and that it had not been “normal” to bring a case concerning events that occurred eight years ago.
Blanche also suggested that Trump’s appeal of the conviction might center on those accusations of bias, the location of the trial, its timing during a US election year and the salacious testimony of Daniels.
I hope those reasons for appeal would only be within the NY system. The SCOTUS appeal should be for due process reasons.
Take Trump out of this, if they did this to Obama or Biden I would not like it, it just seems patently corrupt...why can’t people see this?
My major grip is I saw the evidence and testimony...there is nothing presented that rises to the level of “without a reasonable doubt” talk less of the credibility of Mr. Cohen...but when you are biased you don’t know it, that is why people where shocked at the verdict.
They even convicted Trump for checks in did not sign...when the law says he as to be directly involved in the falsification of the business records...even the checks he signed was a massive stretch...yet they convicted for checks he did not sign...the jury are partisan hacks and gave themselves away.
