Just like how he has not been sentenced yet. He has been convicted of felonies, but he is not a felon yet.No, as he was not Inaugurated yet. He is the president elect, not president yet.
The distinction matters because the system treats felons differently - like when it comes to gun ownership as an example.Nothing more than this “Nicole Cord-Cruz’s” opinion?
Where did she get her information?
Here’s the relevant rules for courts in the State of New York, point out to me where someone convicted of a felon isn’t a “felon” until after sentenced, thanks.
Here, I’ll even help you out
Sentences aren’t passed onto people who aren’t convicted, and while it’s true that the judgement of the court regarding a defendant isn’t completed until sentencing, the person is still convicted, (which is why they’re liable to being sentenced ).
Odd hill to plant a flag on.The distinction matters because the system treats felons differently - like when it comes to gun ownership as an example.
Just like how he cannot yet enforce any of the decisions he will later make as the POTUS - the system cannot treat him like a felon until he is sentenced.
No, he is a felon. I have found nothing credible that says they have to be sentenced first. Just found guilty.Just like how he has not been sentenced yet. He has been convicted of felonies, but he is not a felon yet.
again, you are straining gnats.The distinction matters because the system treats felons differently - like when it comes to gun ownership as an example.

It seems to be a trigger for some.Odd hill to plant a flag on.
Yet he is a convicted felon now. IF the convictions are reversed later by appeal, which seems real unlikely, then he still will be the president who went into office as a convicted felon and who was tried and found guilty by a jury.That’s is what I have been saying.
and came out with his convictions overturned. Gotta have the whole truth - not just half.Yet he is a convicted felon now.

How is it odd? And what "flag" are you talking about?Odd hill to plant a flag on.
Then why don't they arrest Trump now for owning firearms?No, he is a felon. I have found nothing credible that says they have to be sentenced first. Just found guilty.
Not at all. You just don't care about the distinction.again, you are straining gnats.
Perhaps that should be an indication of how persuasive repeating the same discredited talking points would be this time around.why ? Posts by people were not taken seriously then.
Because I'm not looking for excuses to rationalize voting for the guy convicted of 34 felonies.Why don't accept the fact that a person needs to be sentenced in order to be considered a felon in the US?
You believe this fact affected how anyone voted?Because I'm not looking for excuses to rationalize voting for the guy convicted of 34 felonies.
It is kind of hard to claim lawfare when one has a long history of fraud, including having two entities shutdown for fraud, along with one's flagship org found guilty of 17 counts of the very book cooking type fraudulent crimes like this hush money case. Everyday in America, let lone the whole wide world, conspiring parties of illegality often turn on each other. That's all that happened to Trump, not lawfare.How is that?
How long has all this fraud been going on?It is kind of hard to claim lawfare when one has a long history of fraud, including having two entities shutdown for fraud, along with one's flagship org found guilty of 17 counts of the very book cooking type fraudulent crimes like this hush money case.

Goes back some 40-50 years. It's just who he is.How long has all this fraud been going on?
I need you to do me a favor though.
