I'm betting he appeals the conviction to the SC and points to this. They agree and declare it a hung jury. He would have to be retried which wouldn't happen before the election so they would "try to save face" and drop it claiming they wont interfere with the election.
Does this impact trumps conviction directly? Or will this not?
Well, the Democrats do as they please. So, it's a waiting game.
