A thought: what if Trump pardoned himself before leaving office for all crimes to that point in time? This conviction would be null and void.
One more thought - a POTUS can't pardon anyone, let alone himself, for a state crime. Only Federal. That's why they got so many people behind the NY and GA trials and put a dumbass in charge of the Federal trial.
Yes, but they had to link it to a federal crime to turn it into a felony and to avoid the statute of limitations. Without the federal crime, they have zero. Still just a thought, but it would have been the wise thing to do.
You are correct on both points. That is one of a dozen or more things that will get this farce overturned.
The cool thing is I expect it to be overturned somehow (SCOTUS, New York Court of Appeals, some other way?) before the Republican Convention.
I am pretty sure that there is a quick path to the Supreme Court. The NY appellate Court for that area is all black women. So that would likely be a time waster. I am guessing that if the sentence has a big impact on the campaign/election, then they will go straight to the SC. Otherwise it will be a rallying call for the election and fixed afterwards.
