Mitch McConnell: “These charges never should have been brought in the first place. I expect the conviction to be overturned on appeal.”
Okay, I’ll bite — my understanding is “ based on errors of law, fact, or procedure presented in the appeal”.
The defense presented, IMHO as IANAL, a crappy defense. Over the top to appeal to Trump, but not really a defense as such.
If anything, Merchan let Trump get away with too much. He bent over backwards to be lenient.

@feloneouscat: It is important to note that, as per official court record as a matter of legal fact, his appendage is very small and mushroom-shaped.
@feloneouscat He forgets how racist Trump got about his wife. Just like Cancun Cruz has forgotten that Trump called his wife ugly. They won’t even defend their loved ones against this clown. Disgusting.
Banana Republic? Let’s talk about the GOP:
“The party is an appendage of one man. Republicans want to talk about banana republics? They are the Banana Republicans. This is like Argentina under Perón or the Philippines under Marcos.”
Don’t cry for me…
