Donald Trump’s lawyers have asked for the former president’s conviction in his hush-money criminal case to be overturned and his sentencing this month delayed, US media report.
A letter sent by Trump’s lawyers to the New York judge presiding over the trial reportedly cites Monday’s Supreme Court ruling that granted the former president immunity from prosecution for official actions he took while in office.
In May, Trump was convicted on 34 counts of falsifying business records. He will be sentenced on 11 July.
His team points out that he signed off the records while president in 2017, but one lawyer suggested this was unlikely to be considered an official act.
If illegally bribing a porn star to be quiet about an extra marital affair before he won the election is considered an official act of the president, then I’m officially done with this country.
That’s your line?
That line hasn’t already been crossed ten times over for you?
Genocide? You can stomach that.
Paying a pornstar? Now that is just unacceptable!
He’s talking about Trump, not Biden.
And Trump told Israel that they should “finish” Gaza.
Trump is more genocidal than Biden, anyway.
I didn’t invoke Biden’s name, so point stands, it’s the pornstar money that’s the line.
That doesn’t make any sense. Explain why you included the part about genocide at all of you didn’t intend it to be about Biden. It wouldn’t make sense to include that paragraph if you meant Trump or were trying to be ambiguous.
Yes, I was referencing the one that is actually committing genocide.
You came along to help me out though and pointed out that Trump wants genocide too, re-framing my argument.
You and StinkyOnions were the ones who went “genocide? Oh, ya, the guy I support. Because I support genocide.”
I’m just saying its cute for people claiming moral superiority “being done with the country” because of pornstar money, not genocide.
Amazing how yall cant talk about Biden without bringing up Trump, but you’re lockstep about not bringing up Biden when talking about Trump.
Its adorable.
PS: He also specifically said “done with this country.”
That makes absolutely no sense. This is a thread about Trump with an article posted about Trump. Yet you’re here “biden bad” when it has absolutely nothing to do with him. You’re being disengenious.
What do you like about genocide?
Specifically
Paying a pornstar? Now that is just unacceptable!
That person wasn’t complaining about the hush money, they were complaining about a corrupt court system, that bends the law in extreme ways, to let their appointer commit crimes without consequences.
He wasn’t the president when the crime was committed, ipso facto he didn’t have presidential immunity.
Doesn’t matter, that’s not the point. Delay and chaos are the point.
Ex post facto, yeah - believe that’s the term at play here
This is just desperate flailing. He wasn’t President at the time. The Presidential Immunity the Supremely corrupt Court gifted him yesterday does not apply.
Per logic. Per fedsoc, yes, those were official acts. Baby Donnie’s first shit was an official act.
He wasn’t convicted of paying off a porn star. He was convicted of fake business records and falsifying records to promote getting elected.
Not sure how that’s a presidential official act.
But maybe in the orange brain, he’s always been president.
Why not also ask for sunshine every Thursday of the year now that you’re at it
He seems to have at least partially succeeded: Manhattan Prosecutors Agree to Delay Trump’s Sentencing
What the actual fuck bro? The judge hasn’t agreed yet, but since both sides agreed, it’s more than likely going to happen. I am sick of this piece of shit getting treated with kid gloves.
Did he pay with government funds? Ok we’re probably good then.
