    Gosh, that’s going to make him even whiner, if the appeal can go forward but he is still subject to having assets seized to pay for it. “I filed an appeal, but they’re taking my stuff anyway! ELECTION INTERFERENCE!!!1!11!!1!” Even though that’s how it works for everyone.

    He’s basically White Privilege personified. If he’s not getting special treatment, then it’s unfair.
