An appeals court has lowered the bond that Trump is required to secure in order to file his appeal in the NY "fraud" case. I'm not surprised that the further away this gets from the trial court, the likelihood that the rulings will become more fair increases. This combined with Trump's Truth Social windfall certainly changes the outlook. I know that the DA was eagerly awaiting the fire sale of Trump's assets, no matter how badly that hurt NYC. But it looks like that will be on hold for a while. I think that we all realize that this judgement will be significantly modified on appeal, and that the glee of the TDS folx will be muted when that happens. I've noticed that the TDS folx faith in the judicial system is directly proportionate to how much they like the verdict. They seem unconcerned with a DA and prosecutor who are sleeping together and lied under oath about it, some things don't change, but lose their minds when Trump's bond gets lowered from outrageous to merely excessive. We see this from the left when it comes to all sorts of court rulings. Rulings that they agree with are automatically good, rulings that they disagree with are automatically bad. With little interest in things like law, precedent, or anything else.
The entire strategy of the left was to get Trump convicted of something before the election and It's looking less likely that they will get this done.
If Trump wins, while I think this sets a horrible precedent (although no worse that the party/candidate in power using the legal system against a rival), I would not be surprised if he chooses to "pardon himself" to put all of this behind him for good. I know it looks bad, but the reality is that pardon power is pretty much unlimited, and the left hasn't been able to get anything done so far. I can see Trump spending the rest of his life fighting off BS charges and suits if he wins and serves the next term. I really don't have much problem with is protecting himself against that.
As I've watched the response to this, I've noticed that the APL has very little idea of how the legal system works. So for, most of Trump's legal problems have been civil, not criminal. Losing a civil case is not disqualifying for elected office. Further, all of the criminal cases have either ended up in some sort of prosecutorial misconduct, or are on indefinite hold.
Finally, I keep hearing people complain that Trump is getting some sort of special treatment in the legal system. If this is the case, which I doubt, it is more about his ability to (theoretically) hire good lawyers to represent him. Remember OJ? He very likely got off because he had the money to hire good lawyers. That might be considered some sort of "privilege", but I don't see it. People have the freedom to spend their money however they want, and if rich people want to hire the best lawyers available, then why shouldn't they?
