Yes.
Of course, to that crew, anything short of getting everything you want is proof something is rigged.
Verdict reached in Trump hush money trial

Like I said, I don't think it is a strong argument.
But if SCOTUS is looking to interfere, they might buy it.
We've seen them recently flat out lie about the facts of a case in decisions, so who know how far they are willing to go on any given thing.
See!
They had full access to all kinds of legal tools!
That's reassuring.
Thanks for pointing out again how fairly Trump was treated, Mitch.
I think what happens if SCOTUS decides he has immunity will depend a lot on what things they decide he has immunity for.
DOJ has a memo guiding internal procedure that says a sitting President can't be tried.
That's not legally binding, it is just policy.
But if Trump is President, he has already said he intends to weaponize the DOJ and staff it with loyalists who will go after who he wants gone after.
So there is no chance DOJ pursues the cases in your scenario.
As I understand it, that would apply to the federal charges. The porn star/hush money case involves state charges…as does Fani Willis’ Jan 6 case in Georgia (which I believe is on hold awaiting the outcome of the presidential immunity case).
Ironically, it may be “States’ Rights” that protect the integrity of the Union?
But of course, the hush money crime was committed by the felon in question BEFORE he was elected president. And he was charged and tried after he had been turfed from office.
So how does immunity apply?
Does every person who announces he will run for president acquire immunity magically. How about fringe candidates like Cornel West or RFK Jr or even more obscure posers??!!
SCOTUS could rule that the immunity applies to state charges.
But you are correct in that states could still pursue.
But a Trump win means it is likely the GOP does well in Georgia, so the state could slap that case down as well.
Like I said, it would depend on what the actual decision is.
Some of SCOTUS is likely to try to find a way to word things so that Trump has immunity but it won't apply to other presidents (especially Democratic ones).
Indeed. They can’t wait for the chance to get their hands on the “Biden Crime Family.” smh
Sure. Isn't it amazing how what Congress did was legal? Who made the laws up? Who voted to fund the office?
Do you think sexual harassment suits by Congressional interns would have an effect on reelection? And paying them off should be a campaign expense?

Why? Trump is above the law while everybody else is below?
I think they like the Republican conservative agenda and Christian fundamentalism. I don't think they give a shit about Trump.
Listen has Biden been convicted in any Court of Law of "Genocide" like you claim? These are just protesters who are protesting against The USA's support of Israel who are conducting the killing of the Palestinian women and children. At least Biden has called for a ceasefire, unlike the Republicans who want Israel to pursue it till the very end even if it involves the annihilation of all those in Gaza if that is the only way to "Eliminate" Gaza!!
Trump on the other hand is a Criminal. Once again you are lying!!
Things you would spend money on regardless of whether or not there is a campaign aren't campaign expenses.
Depends on who.
Alito has pretty much become pure Fox grandpa.
Some of the others will make decisions based on partisanship as well, which can include Trump depending on the situation.
I'm not predicting this is going to happen. Just that ruling it out because there isn't a good reason it should get to SCOTUS is premature.
