Will this not have implications to the guilty verdict in New York? This was bumped from a misdemeanor to a felony based on election interference predicated on his actions involving J6.
Yes. And, it would make it VERY difficult for him to get it to trial before the election.
btt
I don't think the NY case is that clear.
It was predicated on "furthering another crime" and Bragg was never clear on what that other crime was. Merchan told the jury they didn't have to agree on what that other crime was, nor did they have to conclude that President Trump was guilty of that other crime or actually carried out that other crime.
Bragg created a circular indictment that basically said that the records were falsified to cover up a crime, and that the crime must be true because he falsified the records. The SCOTUS immunity ruling appears to have excluded running for office as an incumbent is not an official act.
