Trump Moves to Overturn Manhattan Conviction, Citing Immunity Decision

[AProudLefty]

Former President Donald J. Trump took the action hours after a U.S. Supreme Court ruling granted him immunity for official acts committed in office.​

Donald J. Trump began an effort on Monday to throw out his recent criminal conviction in Manhattan and postpone his upcoming sentencing, citing a new Supreme Court ruling that granted him broad immunity from prosecution for official actions he took as president, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.

his lawyers are likely to argue that prosecutors built their case partly on evidence from his time in the White House. And under the Supreme Court’s new ruling, prosecutors not only may not charge a president for any official acts, but also cannot cite evidence involving official acts to bolster other accusations.

I blame our justice department for this and Biden.....and all states, but especially Ga. for kickin the can down the road and waiting. Its apparent our courts are corrupt now and we have no where to turn for justice anymore. Instead of Democrats coming up with ways to counter this madness, they're all running around DEFENDING JOE AND HIS DEBATE BULLSHIT. NOW THAT HE HAS ABSOLUTE IMMUNITY, PUT 4 LIBERAL JUSTICES ON THE BENCH IMMEDIATELY, ALLOW PENDING COURT CASES TO CONTINUE AND THEN LOCK TRUMP THE FUCK UP OR PUT A BOUNTY ON HIS FUCKIN HEAD.
