Nope, it’s smart. Leaving sentencing until after the election also keeps the Supreme Court out of it before the election. You can bet your boots they would have fast-tracked any appeal and nullified the sentence somehow before the election.
If he was sentenced before the election the Supreme Court nullifies it and you have the same result.
Do all that you can to make sure he doesn’t get elected.

If trump gets elected he’ll just pardon himself or whatever machinations transpire where he won’t be sentenced at all.
He can’t do that. These are state crimes.
He has no authority to pardon non-federal crimes.
True. But that is based in logic and the assumption that laws follow strict “rules” and well…
Buddy. Pal. He tried a violent overthrow of the US government. If he wins, that’s GG. He just will until/unless the military coup him.

Acceptance of a pardon also means an admission of guilt. Trump has never guilty to anything, so he’ll be in a tight spot.
Not at all. He’s been charged and found guilty before and it has made no difference because there’s never been real consequences.
He will just say how can I be guilty of sth I got pardoned for? Some true Trump logic at work.
Your comment makes me a little less angry
