Re: as virtually every other convicted felon in the US does pending appeal?

F**k that. Follow the law. His campaign is none of your f**king business. Give him what you would give any other felon who behaved in the way he has in your courtroom.

Wow. The TDS is strong in this one!

But "Follow the law" you say. Would that be say, Californian law, that practices catch & release for thieves and other violent criminals? Or NY law that does the same thing? Both have crime rates that have gone through the roof thanks to "Following the law". Or would it be the NY law that has decided that it has the sole right to value property*, and fine Trump the best part of $500m for a crime that had no victim? Or the NY law that managed to turn a non-crime and misdemeanor into a felony, and convinced a jury to find Trump guilty, even though the felony was never specified or tried?

Or would "Following the law" include the usual sentencing, which then formalises the conviction. But then "Following the law" also includes a right to appeal. And campaigning is the business, namely tieing Trump up in court so he can't do that. Of course TDS and a succession of show trials have helped Trump's campaign because voters can see the election interference. TDS has given Trump millions in free publicity and kept him firmly in the news. If the Democrats had just ignored him, his campaign would be in a far worse position.

If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.

Indeed. There is of course another convicted felon, Hunter Biden. Already convicted of firearms charges, despite a very novel plea deal and offer of immunity from prosecution from the DoJ. The judge in that case did follow the law and threw out the plea deal. Sentencing to follow, as are a trial for tax evasion. That will of course take a close look at Hunter's finances, and maybe the "10% for the Big Guy". And did the Big Guy pay his taxes, I wonder?
