The former president is now highly unlikely to stand trial in the Justice Department’s election interference case before November
The Supreme Court handed Donald Trump a massive victory on Wednesday by agreeing to rule on whether he is immune from prosecution for acts committed while he was president. The court will hear arguments on April 22 and won’t hand down a decision until June — which means it’s unlikely a trial in the Justice Department’s election interference case will commence before the election. If Trump wins the election, he’ll of course appoint an attorney general who will toss the case, regardless of how the Supreme Court rules this summer.
By Wednesday night, Trumpland was celebrating.
“Literally popping champagne right now,” a lawyer close to Donald Trump told Rolling Stone late on Wednesday.
I don’t think you understand what the Special Monitor has the power to do, and what role she serves in her monitorship.
I don’t think it matters.
We are talking about a motherfucker who openly proposes becoming a dictator. A bastard who already tried to overthrow the federal government. A state appointee moving some paper around would not meaningfully withstand all three branches of the US government making shit up to do The Idiot’s bidding.
I mean sure. If you’re arguing that it won’t matter when he’s a dictator, I can agree. But he’s not one yet, and he doesn’t have the opportunity until November. These state crimes have already been adjudicated, so the clock is ticking on them.
