A federal appeals court on Thursday let President Trump revive his bid to overturn his criminal conviction in the hush money case.

Trump has enough money to win cases that poorer people would settle. More power to him for fighting this as hard as he has.

If all these “convictions” are overturned, what ever will the left be able to use when referencing Trump? Their whole life appears to revolve around his “felony convictions”. (when) those get thrown out, will they go back to “Orange man bad”?
