A judge is due to decide Tuesday whether to undo President-elect Donald Trump’s conviction in his hush money case because of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling on presidential immunity.
New York Judge Juan M. Merchan, who presided over Trump’s historic trial, is now tasked with deciding whether to toss out the jury verdict and order a new trial — or even dismiss the charges altogether. The judge’s ruling also could speak to whether the former and now future commander-in-chief will be sentenced as scheduled Nov. 26.
The Republican won back the White House a week ago but the legal question concerns his status as a past president, not an impending one.
I’m really really trying to find some logic in this but basically if dismissed it’s stating that anyone who has ever been president is immune from anything they do at any point of time in their life?
Seriously. He wasn’t president when he committed these crimes and he wasn’t president when he was convicted of these crimes. There should be no question here.
Next, get refunds on all the tax you paid in your life and any rulling against you, since this is somehow how it works now.
