"Last month, a six-justice majority delivered Trump a significant victory, ruling that he deserved substantial immunity from prosecution for official acts he took in the White House, including his efforts to get Department of Justice leaders to back his bogus claims of election fraud in 2020.

Legal experts say Chutkan will need to review evidence at the heart of the historic four-count felony case, to determine whether other alleged actions by Trump get constitutional protection as official steps of a president, or whether they instead count as personal acts of a candidate seeking political office."

So nice to have a corrupt SC in your back pocket.

BREAKING legal update causes MAJOR PROBLEM for Trump

www.youtube.com

Glenn Louis Kirschner is an American attorney, a former U.S. Army prosecutor, a former assistant U.S. Attorney in the office of the United States Attorney for the District of Columbia

He says that now at 30 days after the SC ruling, the Judge has the reins again.

And she will be holding Hearings on at least the charges that are pretty certainly prosecutable.

And... the Secret Grand Jury testimony against Trump by his associates will be in the Media for weeks, at least.

Any indication when the hearings could start?

Hey, Rsty.... Good question.

I didn't get to finish listening, but if it says or I see it elsewhere, I'll try to post it.

OK... it sounds like the mini-trial Hearings will begin in a couple of weeks and go a couple of months.

The Good News is that we'll hear the Testimony of his Aides. and better yet, the State Court of Appeals and the Judge will likely not accept a bunch of Trump lawyer individual Appeals, but do the whole Hearing and then hear Appeals.

So the Secret Testimony of the Trumpers to the Grand Jury gets out there as it should.

Voters should know if their President was a Crook. And a Traitor.

The testimony was apparently that he is both, otherwise the charges would never have been brought and then ruled on by the Appeals Court and by the SC.

SO... good news. perhaps the Facts and the Truth will be out there... for Trumpers to ignore their own kind's testimony.

Also

Trump will be there almost every day, like in the Hush Money Trial.

And the Media is almost Real Time reporting.

An article I read today said it could be any time. As soon as she schedules it.

A "mini-trial" where the prosecution can lay out the evidence they have against Trump would be a good thing for America.

And the defense can't cry about "immunity" because it won't be an actual trial, just a (lengthy) hearing to determine what can stay in and what can't.

We have been this close to holding Trumpy accountable for his crimes against America before.

So I will believe it when I see it.

So I will believe it when I see it.

First Tuesday after the first Monday in November.

"Kick starting the legal maneuvering, Chutkan set an Aug. 16 hearing in Washington, D.C., to consider the schedule for Trump's felony criminal case.

She also ordered both Trump's lawyers and Smith's Justice Department team to propose a schedule for moving forward by Friday."

.

"While Trump has scored some recent big legal wins, the former president is hardly out of criminal trouble.

He's scheduled to be sentenced on Sept. 18 in New York after a jury convicted him of falsifying business records in order to hide reimbursements to his former lawyer, who made hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election.

The judge in the case postponed an earlier sentencing date while he considers Trump's request to toss out the entire case based on the Supreme Court's immunity ruling.

.

"Trump also faces felony charges in two other criminal cases that have not yet been scheduled.

One in Florida over Trump's refusal to return classified documents once he left office has been dismissed, but the special counsel has appealed the decision. T

he other, a wide-ranging election racketeering case in Fulton County, Georgia, charges Trump and several co-conspirators with attempting to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.

The Republican's 2024 presidential nominee has pleaded not guilty to all of the charges."

None of this will matter to millions of Americans. The prosecution could show videotape of Trump handing over boxes of top secret material and receiving bags of cash and the MAGA folks will be completely unconcerned. Others will simply know that they are considering voting for a dangerous criminal.Trumps lawyers will argue that EVERYTHING Der Dotard did while in office and afterward is covered by the immunity granted their client. And the SCOTUS may well support that contention, even if Trump shot someone on Fifth Avenue ...

Trump has more to worry about than convictions. If he loses this election, he also has to contend with Mr. Putin's reaction for leaving him in a lurch in Ukraine.

I have to wonder if trying to steal an election can be considered one of the duties of the President? If not the he has no immunity and trying to make a case for it would be laughable as are the Supreme Court Justices who pulled that Constitutional precedent straight out of their Republican asses.

Judge fangirl took care of this case that should have been a slam dunk. Just shows where the swamp resides.

The excuses from sh*tler were all over the place:

I had the right to have them

I declassified them in my mind

What documents?

The FBI planted them

I want them back

Why if the FBI planted them would he want them back?

Doesn't matter...when he loses, he will face justice.

So they can incorrectly proceed and it get it sent back to the SC to throw out?
