Biden could use this immunity decision to fix the problem in any number of ways. For example, imprisoning him in Guantanamo for 4 years. Would that be an acceptable fix to those worried about the impact to Donald's presidency? Or is this appeal to the immunity decision selective?
There’s not going to be any incarceration, (but even if there were, the White House could just be rented out to the New York State Bureau of Prisons).

Cohen? Isn't he the guy who infiltrated the Trump organization and weaseled his way to a minor position to secretly attempt to smear Donald Trump and his family?
You’re too good at this.

What more specifics than what a court decides on appeal?

No, we don't take it on faith he is guilty either....Let the process of law move forward.
Should the New York appellate courts find that no appealable errror occurred, are will they be corrupt, too?

Which event maybe overturned in an appeal.
Any specific grounds for this appeal?
”I was framed!” doesn’t usually suffice, as a prevailing legal argument.

Possibly, but only based on a technical issue or matter if improper law. Nothing will change the fact he was judged guilty of the crime by a jury of his peers.

No, not technical matters. Matters of due process and a fair trial.

The issues discussed by legal scholars during the process. Not going to rehash it here.

He might not have to appeal. But certainly, the proceedings in the courtrooms should legally be revisited. Much reversable error could overturn that kangaroo court.

Any specifics, or do we just have to take it on faith that Donald (with his history of legal issues) is somehow magically innocent this time?

You go by faith on that? I don't
The court will rule as it will rule.
And outside of a Constitutional question, not appealable to the federal courts. [So no SCOTUS]

I will accept whatever that court decides.

“Faith” don’t enter into it.

Due process is constitutional. This stuff has already been discussed during the trial.

Yes technical matters.

When a case goes on appeal, the higher court reviews the "record" from the lower court, which includes the trial transcript, evidence, and documents, to determine if the judge made any legal errors that could have affected the outcome of the case, primarily focusing on whether the law was applied correctly and if the proceedings were fair; no new evidence is typically introduced during an appeal

If the law is not applied correctly it is a technical matter.

No. Trump had him go through all this rigmarole (that's documented) not to keep it from his wife, but too keep it from the voting public. If there is anyone who has complete lack of consideration for their family, it's Trump.

Yeah, too bad voters picked a convicted felon to represent them. Oh well, hope they continue to get all that they voted for.
Trump isn't a felon.

Trump had “due-process” and then the jury found him guilty.
Trump disputes the finding of the court and of the jury, he’s allowed to, and probably will appeal.
But he got his “due-process”.

Trumps case in New York is one big "Mistrial" as the prosecution presented info to the jury that was protected under presidential immunity that was inadmissible

Judge Merchan who donated to Bidens campaign, and who has a daughter who worked for the Biden/Harris campaign is on nothing more than a biased dog and pony show right now "Look At Me" on nothing more than biased lawfare in judicial activism

The Jan 10th sentencing is going to be a big "Nothing Burger" hey world look at me my name is Juan Merchan, I'm a biased democratic donor who knows well the case is a big mistrial but I will continue to use my platform to stay in world news

Not at the time of trial, the Presidential immunity case was still in the courts…besides, falsifying business records might fall outside the scope of “official duties” of a President.

The judge was of the wrong political party! ?
Get real.

No business records were falsified bogus claim without Trumps signature on anything, the testimony of felon Michael Choen is as Good as Benedict Arnolds
The judge was of the wrong political party! ? Get real.
Fact the Judge was a democratic political donor to Biden, his daughter worked for the Biden/Harris campaign, a biased conflict of interest and Merchan should have recused himself from the case and he didn't, judges should remain neutral showing impartiality regarding politics

Conclusion: If needed to overcome the biased political lawfare of Merchan, biased jury instructions alone being a big mistrial, throw in inadmissible information by the prosecution, jury tampering in leaked info, the US Supreme court would toss the case in a heartbeat, the very reason their immunity decision was perfectly timed

This biggest jury on the world has spoken, Trump won Nov 5th and the popular vote, the likes of the George Soros puppet in Alvin Bragg is silenced, and to think Biden gave the commie Soros the medal of freedom sick IMHO

No need to further discuss the case, we will see on Jan 10th, and it's my opinion it will be a big "Nothing Burger" with Merchan trying to save face infront of the world

Until all appeals are exhausted then , all due process will be given. Legal scholars seen reversable errors in Merchans courtroom.
