Where is that same outrage now? It seems the guy who wears orange makeup with the really weird hairdo took a bunch of stuff he wasn't supposed to take to Mar A Lago when he hastily departed the WH. Some might even be classified, but regardless it wasn't legal to take them, it's all supposed to go to the archives.

Ivanka and Jared used their own email accounts? Ho hum, doesn't apply to us. 

Trump would tear up documents and they would have to be taped back together for the archives? 

You guys on the right are just fine with all this, right?

In other words, the jury applies the facts to the law.  The judge approves the jury instructions where the law is detailed for the jury.  If the judge got the law wrong in his jury instructions (presumably over Palin's objections) there could still be a viable appeal on the legal issues.  In any case, the appeal is a longshot.  Palin will have public sentiment behind her though, if the jury comes back in her favor.  That does not matter for the appeal, but it certainly would be a factor in her decision making process.  Jim
