Oh yeah, those appeals. He's going to do everything he can to delay the start of a trial, and then the trials themselves. That's a given. If he wins the presidential race before a conviction then he's Scott free. That's why me and so many other people are frustrated with how slowly the entire process is taking. The amount of elapsed time is excessive, and it seems like they're trying to punt the actual trials down the road, hoping he dies or wins the Whitehouse so they don't have to set the precedent of a former president being convicted of a crime.
