      Well, the proper way to put it should probably be to not insert judicial outcomes into politicking, not politics.

        There are 34 convictions in New York State that are waiting on sentencing. That sentencing can - and very arguably should - include incarceration.

        He’s literally a felon. He’s facing three more court cases about serious criminal acts directly related to politics and his time in the office he’s seeking. That’s all directly relevant to the political campaign.

          He’s literally a felon who has been convicted of campaign finance fraud. But oh no, don’t mention that since he’s in the midst of another campaign. That would be too political.
