   If Trump becomes president, can he pardon himself of his felony?

     @PunishedD @qwerty It won't stand on appeal. Every time the judge over-ruled the defense or sustained an objection by the prosecutors, is grounds for appeal.

     @FreeinTX @qwerty He should do it anyway. Every lawsuit against him is filled with unprecedented explorations of the law. What is NY going to do, sue him for doing federalism wrong?

     @qwerty No. New York state crimes are not his to pardon.

     @sapphire @Goalkeeper @PunishedD @qwerty Would love to know what case he's talking about, and who exactly that is making that assertion.

     The state makes the jury instructions and they are voted on by the courts. It's not like the judge pulled them out of his ass.

     @Goalkeeper @sapphire @PunishedD @qwerty Instructing the jury that they do not have to agree on what, exactly, is the underlying crime that made this misdemeanor, passed the statute of limitations, into a 34 count felony was NOT something made by the "state" or voted on by anyone. That was the judge's instructions. And, given that no one has ever been tried on these charges in this way, eg. a novel interpretation of the law, means that there is no standing or prior precedents for how to handle this case. One of many grounds for apoeal.

     Did they change the standard Jury instructions? If not then that's not reversible error and even if they did it's still probably not reversible error. Every state has bog standard Jury instructions that they use for every trial that judges don't fuck with for a reason.

     @Goalkeeper @FreeinTX @PunishedD @qwerty every fucking retard believed the right wing news outlets when they said WAAAAH JURY INSTRUCTIONS BAD and didn't bother actually reading them.

     @Goalkeeper @PunishedD @qwerty I doubt it. Appeals require a findings of facts and law. The higher judges will have to explain why the decisions they make are apt. And no, it is not just about the evidence, itself. Reversible error is grounds for appeal.

     @FreeinTX @Goalkeeper @qwerty I'm pretty sure the jury instructions are an automatic appeal win. Not sure what the remedy would be for trial error like that, I assume a whole new trial.

     @PunishedD @Goalkeeper @FreeinTX @qwerty jury instructions were bog standard, this isn’t getting overturned. Trump is a felon, it’s done and dusted.

     Appellate courts don't care unless their was some grievous error with the evidence itself, judges will circle the wagons.
