If the charges against Trump and Powell are based on the same statute or legal theory, Powell could get her conviction overturned if Trump is vindicated. In such a manner Conrad Black went from federal prison to free man. He had lost at trial and all appeals, but when the legal theory applying the fraud statute used against Black was overturned by the US Supreme Court in an unrelated case, Black’s conviction was quickly vacated as well.

From everything I've seen, they are not.

Interesting possible theory. But it assumes Sidney refuses to take a plea bargain and therefore is sent to prison on felony charges.

But does Ms. Powell really want to sit in jail waiting and hoping that Trump is vindicated?

She is smart to take the misdemeanor plea deal.
