Texhnicslly, if we never see him sentenced for his convictions it won't matter. He has 34 convictions. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] anon6789@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 child) If there's no sentence, was there a point to a trial? This whole circus is held up on the fact the Supreme Court is entertaining the idea that any of the things he's charged with (or convicted of) can pass as him doing the job he was elected to do. If he wins, this sentencing date will never come, and neither will any of the others. His acts will be officially sanctioned, and the only ones being sentenced will be us. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] snooggums@midwest.social 2 points 2 years ago* (1 child) I agree completely, just wanted to make sure it was clear that he has been convicted. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] anon6789@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago Understood.
