#1 A mistrial would have to happen within the corrupt NY system. The Supreme Vourt is more likely to sweep the legs on this one with its immunity ruling.

#3 All this legal bumfoolery will get tossed on appeal once it reaches a real court. In the meantime, the Dems get to hoot and throw poo at the Convicted Felon(tm) running for President. You know he was impeached, right? Twice, even!

#5 My views on Trump are well known. But if I had been on that jury, it would have ended in a hung jury.

The case is supposed to be very complicated. It is not.

1) The crime of falsifying business records doesn't exist. Whatever I pay a lawyer is "legal fees," including reimbursing him for the money he spent on my behalf. The case should be closed here.

2) But even if you concede that Trump wasn't precise enough with his checks and ledger entries, there was no crime to conceal with those entries. No election law was broken. The money was spent to make Trump look good in an election, just like a new suit or a decent haircut. These are private expenses that can't be paid for with campaign funds (and Trump didn't do that). Paying hush money to keep a former mistress quiet is just as legal as getting a haircut. This is what the expert on campaign finance laws would have testified, but the judge barred him from doing so. In what court is the defense barred from showing why the defendant didn't break the law he's accused of breaking?

The other two misdemeanors that Trump allegedly concealed with his business records are even more ridiculous. Kind of a circular argument.

3) The icing on the cake is that the jury didn't have to agree on what "unlawful means" were used. This is absurd and something Kafka could have dreamed up.

#6 ^ Where was the police investigation that led to the charges? Appears a step may have been missed and "charges" were produced....on the fly.

#7 First appeal is in NY, to a court with (IIUC) all prog female judges. Either they will decline to hear or will uphold. Next appeal is also in NY. 'Might' overrule, but doubtful. IANAL but it may be a challenge to get these State charges in front of Federal Appeals - Supreme Court. Especially since the Deep State really wants to avoid helping Trump.
What I wonder is - if Trump is sentenced to prison (likely) and the Court does not grant Bond for appeal, and he is elected while in prison, and NY does not allow visitors, and thus he cannot be sworn in as President, what happens? Does his VP get sworn in? Does Biden stay in office?

#8 ^ Damn good questions Glen.
