Smith's federal criminal cases against Trump were upended by the election, as the Justice Department's longstanding policy is that sitting presidents can't be charged with crimes.
The Supreme Court already rules that not only is Trump all but immune from prosecution, but that he can’t even be investigated or questioned over it.
So if Trump were to make a phone call and say “Yes, we’re going to sign this into law, and schedule a meeting about that other thing. Oh, and have Tom Hanks killed in a hail of bullets, kthxbye.”, the fact that he ordered Tom Hanks killed might be prosecutable. The problem is that even if they know he ordered Tom Hanks killed, they legally can’t even ask him about it because it happened during an official phone call.
Trump could go on a crime spree that would make the Mafia legitimately look like choir boys, and Jack Smith…well, Jack Smith isn’t going to be able to do Jack about it.
January 20, 2025 isn’t a swearing in ceremony. It’s a coronation.
yep, I hate it but at least it’s starting to sink in. come jan. we are in a functional trump dictatorship. there are no checks and balances left, the court assured so and with the legislative branch under his control, the single, only hope we have is that he’s too hilariously inept to be effective.
