The Facts
Trump was convicted by a Manhattan jury on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records related to a $130,000 payment to Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election.
The case is currently paused as Judge Juan Merchan weighs whether to dismiss the charges following Trump's election victory, with all deadlines suspended since November 12.
The Spin
The delay tactic represents an attempt to prevent appeal of a conviction that will likely be reversed. The case involves no actual crime and attempts to transform an expired misdemeanor into a felony. Preventing immediate appeal violates constitutional rights and serves political rather than legal purposes.
