“We’re writing a rule for the ages,” Justice Neil Gorsuch said Thursday about the issue of criminal immunity from prosecution for official presidential acts. Indeed, it will have enormously far-reaching implications. But, as always, the Democrats aren’t thinking about long-term consequences; they just want to get Trump NOW.
It’s easy to see why Democrats have been losing their minds over Florida Judge Aileen Cannon, who presides over the so-called “classified documents” case against Trump. Those out to convict him can’t stand it that there might be even ONE JUDGE presiding over a Trump case who doesn’t share their goal of putting this former President and presumed Republican nominee in the slammer.
New York DA Alvin Bragg’s ridiculous hush money trial of Donald Trump got underway Monday and immediately proved to be nothing to Bragg about.
“I’ve never been so happy not to be invited somewhere.” That was law professor Jonathan Turley, speaking on Sean Hannity’s FOX NEWS show Tuesday, about a weekly meeting via Zoom call being held by anti-Trump “journalists” covering his current trial in Manhattan over allegedly falsifying business records. And he couldn’t help laughing a little at that thought.
“A serial perjurer used to convert a dead state misdemeanor into a felony, based on an alleged federal election crime that was rejected by the Justice Department.” That’s how law professor Jonathan Turley described the case going forward in court today (Monday), now that an “impartial” (hahaha) jury has been seated.
After two days, seven jurors have been seated in Alvin Bragg’s Rube Goldberg-esque prosecution of Donald Trump in Manhattan.
Monday, the ludicrous hush money case against Donald Trump went to trial, and the Democrats are no longer even trying to pretend that this is anything other than election interference.
Today, New York City DA Alvin Bragg’s trial of Donald Trump on 34 felony charges for allegedly falsifying business records to pay off porn star Stormy Daniels to go away gets rolling.
Florida Judge Aileen Cannon denied Trump’s attorneys' bid to dismiss the classified documents case against him on grounds that he had a right to have those documents under the Presidential Records Act. However, she left open the possibility that the argument could be used as a defense at trial.
How do anti-Trump judges in Manhattan like Judge Engoron and Judge Juan Merchan get assigned to Trump cases?
I hope you had as good a night’s sleep as New York Attorney General Letitia James had a bad one. Just like Wile E. Coyote seeing the Roadrunner peel out and leave her in the dust yet again, she was all set to seize Donald Trump’s properties Monday when the appellate court conked her with an Acme brand mallet.
New York Attorney General Letitia “Mad Dog” James is continuing to press her one-woman jihad against Donald Trump, arguing that he shouldn’t be allowed to appeal the outrageous verdict against him unless he posts a $464 million bond.
The short answer, of course, is “yes,” but at the time of this writing --- the wee hours of Monday morning --- we still don’t have the judge’s official answer to that question.
Yesterday, we told you about the upswing of arrests related to January 6, 2021, starting last fall and likely continuing at least through the current campaign season. For most of this coming year, political lawfare will be the order of the day, even as some of the cases crash and burn, with Trump supporters who were caught in the crossfire written off as collateral damage.
