The question is whether it will be overturned before the election. Their goal is to get a conviction before the election and McAfee’s ruling may permit them to do that. If the conviction gets overturned on appeal (as it should be, but I wouldn’t count on it...depends on which judges make the ruling) it will be after the election. If Trump is defeated in the election they may spare him prison...otherwise they want to see him in prison. That would delight the media and the overwhelming majority of Democrats.
I think this was the other part of why I think this is a big win for Trump. This puts a huge delay in the whole thing. He’s taking the meat out of their case by dropping those six counts. They will have to go back to a new grand jury to try to put these back into the case.
Secondly, if there’s an appeal, this will further delay the case from going forward.
Add to that all the other things that are going to be happening like the ethics commission, and going before the Georgia Bar. Then you have Jim Jordan‘s committee.
Have they even set a date for the trial to start? No
No this is a big win in that among other things it’s gonna certainly delay the trial from going forward Until well after the election
