i wonder if they're bringing up stuff he did in the white house so now they can try to get the case halted and tossed on the "official act' immunity the gang of six just made up yesterday
Trump lawyer Emil Bove is now bringing up a January 2017 meeting when Trump was president and invited David Pecker to a meeting at the White House with Sean Spicer and Mike Pompeo. Pecker testified that Trump made a joke about how Pecker knew more than the people in the room
We're basically there. They were a little circumspect in 2021-2022 when the Dems still had Congress but they seem confident at this point in rigging 2024 and the favorable Senate map that they'll never have to face a Dem trifecta ever again so ya its "fuck you we win" time bsky.app/profile/tedb...
They're going to rule that the President has immunity for official acts nobody questioned that he had immunity for, and that he's not charged for. Then they're going to send it down and direct the lower courts to determine if any acts are covered under that. And then take the appeal of that.
we're all gonna get whiplash when Trump arrests Biden on 1/20/25 for the crime of "not being president anymore" and SCOTUS says none of these obvious crimes were official acts
Yep. No chance any conviction withstands appeal, but there is value to forcing the courts to take action to overturn a conviction.
I’m sure SCOTUS would love to step in and stop this, but it would look bad in the press for them to do that now.
