Here, a decent explanation of Trump's appeals for his convictions in NY state. The "34 count felon" narrative is institutional psychosis in action. Anyone reading the details of this fine example of lawfare ought to come to the conclusion this should never happen to anyone. These cases will be tossed with vigor into the trash heap of abuse of authority and election interference (and hopefully those involved heavily sanctioned).
With an embarrassment of riches to choose from, the president’s appellate team raises five claims.

This is an example (and there are plenty) of why Trump gets the support he has (if they can do it to Trump, they can do it to you).
I swear, every few weeks shit like this starts making the rounds again, and it’s the same recycled talking points dressed up as “legal analysis.” Take this gem, for example:
“Bragg stacked time-barred misdemeanors under a convoluted legal theory to invent a felony.” That’s just flat-out misleading. New York law literally allows a falsified business record to become a felony
if it was done to conceal another crime, that’s written right into the statute. There’s nothing exotic or illegal about how that charge was structured. Acting like Bragg invented a “novel theory” is just lazy repetition of campaign rhetoric, not legal reality.
And then there’s the endless hand-wringing about how this was “the most politically charged prosecution in our nation’s history.” Kick rocks. What matters in a courtroom isn’t political noise; it’s whether the prosecution met the burden of proof and followed due process. In this case, a jury reviewed the evidence and came to a verdict. That’s how the system works. Prosecutors don’t get to just shrug and say, “Oh well, it might look political, guess we’ll drop it.” Calling it “political persecution” doesn’t magically erase the paper trail of falsified ledgers or hush money reimbursements.
And this whole “Democratic lawfare campaign” conspiracy is the laziest part of the whole thing. Unlike Trump, for whom we have written examples of him influencing the DOJ, there is no evidence anywhere that ANYONE in the Biden administration pushed for these charges to be brought forward. These cases are separate, in different jurisdictions, under different laws, federal, state, and local, with independent grand juries, prosecutors, and judges. Lumping them together like they’re all following marching orders from the DNC war-room is conspiracy-theory fan fiction. It’s the same lazy thinking that pretends the justice system should grind to a halt just because the defendant used to be president.
At this point, it’s exhausting to keep fact-checking this nonsense. You keep sharing these articles as if repetition makes them truer. It doesn’t. The courts will handle the appeals the same way they handle anyone else’s, based on law and evidence, not vibes and slogans.
