Donald Trump is close to running out of time in his last-ditch bid to stave off the historic stigma of being the first former president to go on criminal trial next week.
Yes it shouldn’t be able to derail the case in a just world, I just meant in practice that’s what is happening since it gives him yet another thing to appeal over. He filed an appeal with the Georgia court of appeals to again ask for all charges to be dismissed or for her to be removed from the case as well (which would create an extraordinary delay well past the election). Hopefully the Georgia court of appeals will just quickly knock it down and not delay the trial any more over it. There’s a danger that could happen though. If the Georgia state government goes after her as the case is ongoing who knows. And I agree, he is getting leeway everywhere, treated with kids gloves, appointing his own judges, it’s ridiculous. Even if the supreme court rules against presidential immunity, in practice he and all the judges that have helped him have made a mockery of the rule of law.
Agreed. It’s galling how he’s been able to time and again exploit the system up to and including SCOTUS. Such a disappointment how ineffective it turns out our system of justice is in the face of corruption.
