1. Trump will appeal to SCOTUS now
2. Lower court will stay the ruling until SCOTUS hears the case
3. SCOTUS will punt until after the election
4. Trump gets elected
5. SCOTUS indicates a sitting POTUS cannot be tried for this
The Federalist Society - sponsors of Justices Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Barrett and Roberts, are done with Trump. They have backed Haley in 2024.
So no, SCOTUS will not let Trump off. The Justices can just let this stay at the DC Court and let Trump rot.
