According to a former official with the Department of Justice, the Supreme Court’s ruling concerning the issue of presidential immunity could have a huge impact on Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s business documents case where former President Donald Trump was recently found guilty on 34 felony counts. There’s nothing as satisfying as seeing the radical left fail in spectacular fashion, am I right? Feels great.
For those who may not be aware of the decision, here’s a great explanation from The Daily Caller:
The Supreme Court ruled in favor of Trump’s claims of immunity over “official acts” as president in a case stemming from an indictment secured by special counsel Jack Smith over the former president’s efforts to contest the 2020 election in a 6-3 decision authored by Chief Justice John Roberts. CNN legal analyst Elliot Williams told “CNN This Morning” host Kasie Hunt that some of the evidence introduced in the trial, including the testimony of former White House Communications Director Hope Hicks, might be in question.

“Let’s talk about what the Supreme Court decided,” Williams went on to say. “What they‘d said was that evidence of official acts cannot even be used to help support prosecuting someone for unofficial acts of the presidency. So case in point, let’s use Donald Trump’s New York trial. Obviously it‘s personal conduct, private behavior, sleeping with porn stars, cooking the books of your corporation, whatever else, right however, it relied on the testimony of Hope Hicks, a former White House aide, and other evidence that is tied to his time in the White House. Now, Trump’s team can plausibly claim some of these were official acts that can’t even be used as evidence.”
Bragg’s team brought Hicks up to testify about the former president’s 2016 campaign and their response to the recorded conversation between Trump and Billy Bush, host of “Access Hollywood.” He was then convicted by a jury comprised of seven men and five women of falsifying business records on May 30.
“It‘s no surprise, we talked about it on air yesterday, that Trump‘s team would move to upend the New York case,” Williams added.. “Now this whole idea of calling a new trial is sort of silly. I think what they can just do is let the appeal play out and have them raise that issue on appeal, but yes, it‘s going to change some aspect of the New York trial.”
I think there’s a fairly good chance that Trump is going to win his appeal and we’ll see the conviction tossed in the garbage. I have a feeling we’re going to see every effort to try and throw the former president in jail or at least ruin his reputation go up in flames and have the opposite intended effect. Rather than drive people away from Trump in November, people will see all of the trials brought against him as political persecution and cast a ballot for him and his platform, which is honestly in their best interest anyway.
Let’s hope the left finally gets the message.
