No, a conviction is not final until appeals are exhausted.

And we are exhausted seeking to explain such obvious things to Elkin.

The 4 years of lawfare against Trump are now continuing even after he got reelected President.

Partisan federal district judges are denying the 2024 election and the Article II powers any president earns therefrom...

I thought that Trump was supposed to unseal the Epstein files? So we would all know the truth. It would perfect if Trump would release the files on Truth Social....so ironic.

Apparently this right wing slop is aging like fine wine....

"Sure, Trump was convicted of 34 felonies, but you can't call him a convicted felon."-Scumbagforbesesquire

It's always about splitting legal hairs to convicted lawyer johnforbes. Well, when the guy is a Republican that is. If the guy is a Democrat, then he's convicted in johnny's mind.

But johnforbes doesn't care in the least about being right. No, he only cares about being TECHNICALLY right, especially when he propounds an indefensible position since he knows there were no errors of fact in Trump's well documented New York trial. Legal technicalities aside, it has been proven that Trump did in fact commit those crimes.

johnny's position is that he can't actually make an argument that the judge and jury were wrong in the facts and conclusions from those facts, but merely that there could possibly, just maybe, have been some minor technical error in trial procedure that might conceivably get the conviction thrown out. Meanwhile, as long as Trump can afford lawyers to keep bringing up specious appeals, then the day will never come when johnfoibles will ever have to call Trump a convicted felon.

The only problem with johnny's whole argument is that, unfortunately, Donald Trump is indeed a convicted felon. As johnforbes knows quite well, anyone else who isn't conveniently the president of the United States would have already exhausted their appeals and served their jail time and it would all be settled by now.



"Partisan federal district judges are denying the 2024 election..."-johnfibs

Never happened, scumbag. You made it up. Why must you ALWAYS resort to lies to argue your specious points?

"...and the Article II powers any president earns therefrom..."-Dishonestjohn

No, they are denying Trump unlimited dictatorial powers which are nowhere granted by Article II, dimwit. Why is it Republicans always claim to want liberty and the rule of law, but then fall in behind any authoritarian strongman who tramples on the Constitution and who will just tell them what to do?

Oh yeah, it's because these small-dicked weasels want their forced-reset trigger adapters that make a gun fire 20 rounds per second which they believe they are entitled to under the Second Amendment. But hair-splitting johnforbes will still insist that such a weapon capable of firing 20 rounds per second isn't TECHNICALLY a "machine gun" and so everyone has a right to own one to 'defend themselves'. (i.e. to shoot police, event goers, and school children in mass shootings.) What could possibly go wrong?

If Trump had been in the Epstein files, obviously Joe Biden and Wray would have released or leaked that material in 2024 to prevent Trump from winning.

Lord knows the Left pulled out all the stops with lawfare, silly cases, and corrupt people like Fanni "Big Fanny" and Alvin Bragg.

Heck, by comparison to those lardbutts, Clowntoker himself looks fit...

Trump said he was going to unseal ALL of the Epstein files for the public to review. So what's the holdup?

Trump is failing on every front....Tariffs, Ukraine War, DOGE etc....

What next? Deploying the 82nd Airborne Div. to round up vandals spray painting buildings and throwing rocks and bottles?

The holdup apparently is too many important people in those papers, from perhaps Bill Clinton to that guy Andrew from the UK and so on.

Me, well I'd prefer it all be released.
