Guilty until decided innocent.

Keep that in mind
We should enjoy Trump being a convicted felon while we can.
The felonies that Trump committed took place BEFORE he was President.
President Biden should award Stormy Daniels the Medal of Freedom. Trump paid her off to keep the affair quiet and covered up the payment rather than just documenting that he paid for her silence. It was the falsifying of business records that broke the law. A jury of 12 found Trump guilty of committing 34 felonies. Not the judge.
Here’s where I’m going to have to rain on the Trump conviction parade a little bit. Yes 2 of the MAGA Supremes joined the 3 normal justices in upholding Trump’s sentencing taking place but an actual appeal of the conviction is another matter entirely. It was a 5/4 decision AND Trump will appeal the conviction.
Prosecutor Alvin Bragg used some creative state and federal law legal footwork to charge Trump with more serious crimes. The MAGA Supremes will eventually get to decide whether or not to overturn the conviction if Trump has anything to say about it and he most assuredly will. The 4 dissenting MAGA Supremes (Justices Gorsuch, Cavanaugh, Alito and Thomas) have essentially already found Trump innocent while MAGA Justices Roberts and Barrett are perfectly capable of making legal technical backflips and contortions to overturn the jury verdict. They already proved that with their decision to place their Dear Leader above the rule of law.
Laws are for little people.
