Damn paywalls…
Short article though:
Donald Trump can be prosecuted for trying to overturn the 2020 US election, a federal appeals court ruled, rejecting his claim of immunity and moving him closer to trial before November’s presidential vote as he seeks to return to the White House. The decision by a three-judge panel with the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit marks a watershed moment in the historic prosecution of Trump by Special Counsel Jack Smith on criminal charges of conspiring to reverse his loss in the last election and remain in power. Trump, the frontrunner for the Republican nomination, may be the first major party candidate to stand trial for criminal actions while campaigning for the presidency.
Chutkan had to reschedule the trial, so they got the delay they were looking for and can now make the obvious judgement that could have been made weeks ago.
Jack Smith is so fucked, I feel bad for the poor guy. He’s like Grimes trying to protect us from Homer.
Good.
Likely prosecution roadmap. Trump is going to die in Federal custody.
Bet he never spends a day in custody. He’ll either 1) litigate it all till he dies, 2) become dictator, or 3) flee to Russia.
He really shouldn’t be able to run for President after his actions. Good on the courts here.
Oh really? I hadn’t heard.
It’s almost as if the attempted overthrow of the United States government by the president at the time is a big fucking deal and any developments in the related court cases are worthy of being national news.
International news. I’d want to hear if Emmanuel Macron were to pull that shit and I’d want updates as it progressed
I was pointing out that he submitted the same story to the same news community twice in an hour, and to the same politics community twice in one hour. That’s just spamming. No this is not a white supremacist dog whistle sealion keanu chungus buzzword etc, I’m not a trump supporter, don’t even come at me with that.
I wonder why? Mine doesn’t look like that
