Trump Leverages SCOTUS Immunity Ruling To Attack His Hush-Money Conviction

He claimed no one eats bacon anymore or something like that. Along with other bizzarro stuff he rants about.

But TCF didn’t know he had grounds to object until the Seditionist Six created one out of whole cloth. You cannot deny him his constitutional right to presidential immunity just because the Constitution confers no such right on the office of the president.

I believe he’s implying that if re-installed he’ll fix the price of bacon at $1.00/lb for card-carrying cult members. Or something.

Talk about pork barrel politics. Jeez. What if it was CANADIAN bacon. Would you be so supportive?

And then, while hurling daily abuse at his press staff, they wonder why he doesn’t carve out a chunk of his day for them to play “gotcha”.

It was the same with HRC. As I have commented before, for reasons that I still don’t know, the MSM absolutely loathed her.

The argument is that the case has to be thrown out because it relied on evidence of official acts, not that the falsified business records were themselves official acts. And skimming through trump’s brief, they are saying he objected to some of the evidence on the basis of official acts immunity. This may get more interesting than I thought. Still, it would most likely be a retrial rather than outright dismissal.

Not a lawyer, but I have read lawyers who say: on appeal, Hope Hick’s testimony might be ruled inadmissible (in retrospect – the defense had no grounds to object to it at the time). But to overturn the verdict, appeals courts would also have to rule that the jury’s verdict might well have been different without her testimony, which is unlikely here (her testimony wasn’t vital to the prosecution’s case) unless the appeal reaches SCOTUS. Since that court’s majority is lawless, at that point all bets are off.

ETA: @txlawyer has raised a new wrinkle. Listen to him, not to me!

Same way the felonious traitor can convince himself that that fungal mass clinging to his scalp (in places) is hair.

Nothing to see here, no reason to be concerned about the public’s overwhelming opinion that Biden should withdraw from the race because he’s too damn old for the job.

But didn’t he commit those acts before he was president? I guess he sent the check to Cohen after January 20, but a lot of the other stuff was before that date, right?

Whoa! I automatically assumed that this was the infotainment media’s verdict on the President’s press conference! They are too, too predictable – and somehow, they give the Convicted Felon yet another pass.

I assume this whole bacon thing originated with California’s regulation that pork sold there has to come from pigs raised under certain standard. Iiwa pork products don’t, generally, meet those standards. I would assume that pork produced in most other states doesn’t either.
