It's a state case so Trump can do nothing to stop her.

The reason why the DOJ doesn't charge presidents while in office is actually rooted in the constitution: the job of of POTUS is to run the country, not to fight for his liberty in court.

There is ZERO chance that anything meaningful will happen in the state cases against Trump at least. Maybe ...

mplspat2.bsky.social•193 days ago

There is no clear answer as to whether a state-level prosecutor, like Willis, can prosecute a sitting president. Trump’s victory now forces Willis to confront that constitutional question in addition to the existing legal issues that have already cast uncertainly over the Georgia case’s future.

mplspat2.bsky.social•193 days ago

He isn't president now.

mplspat2.bsky.social•193 days ago

He wasn't president-elect when he committed these crimes.

defpac.bsky.social•193 days ago

No, he was still president. So according to Scotus... Immune 🤮

mplspat2.bsky.social•193 days ago

But he was defeated.

defpac.bsky.social•193 days ago

He was still president, and SCOTUS granted him immunity for his official acts.
That would be a huge uphill battle for a federal case, and even more so for Fani Willis.
Alas, she should have indicted him in 2022, just for the call to the GA SoS, and could have walked away with a conviction in 2023.

defpac.bsky.social•193 days ago

with the codefendants in the GA case; but nothing regarding Trump will move one inch while he is POTUS.

leafcity.bsky.social•194 days ago

He's not going to jail or going to face any kind of meaningful consequences whatsoever...

mplspat2.bsky.social•194 days ago

It's still possible he will be prosecuted.

What happens to Trump’s criminal and civil cases now that he’s been reelected

Completely agree. He'll just keep slithering away like the snake he is.

leafcity.bsky.social•192 days ago

It's unfortunate. I've never seen a politician this durable.

techphrenic.bsky.social•194 days ago

Some good news, finally.

crazysaguaro.com•194 days ago

It sounds like good news but I'm so hesitant to hope he will eventually pay for his crimes

x03v.bsky.social•194 days ago

Show us the meaning of haste, Shadowfax.

sleepwalker58.bsky.social•194 days ago

Well I’m pretty sure that’s not going anywhere in the end 😔

rainarelli.com•194 days ago

Does she have protection. Seriously.

risephoenixrise.bsky.social•194 days ago

I sure hope so.

tastewart.bsky.social•194 days ago

Little too late! Hope she gets him before he’s sworn in!!

michaeltallon.bsky.social•194 days ago

Can she run the case while he's in office?

jedimindtricker.bsky.social•194 days ago

Yes. That “rule” is the position of the DOJ that applies to federal criminal cases.

Of course SCOTUS has not spoken on this issue

pechelele.bsky.social•194 days ago

He'll likely pardon himself.
But that only works in federal cases I think.
- go queen💐

erikastarrs.bsky.social•194 days ago

Yep, not state cases 😈

musclemomma.bsky.social•194 days ago

are you kidding 😄

parklover.bsky.social•194 days ago

Getting my hopes up…

docadams.bsky.social•194 days ago

Sounds correct. He can be convicted and serve his sentence on golfing days, chained to the first hole.

entgrcsolutions.bsky.social•194 days ago

great news

monador.bsky.social•194 days ago

Righteous!

cfs57.bsky.social•194 days ago

Sadly, Mr. Trump has all the power now. It's a waste of time because he's above the law.

plyreen.bsky.social•192 days ago

Yes

unknowncaucci.bsky.social•194 days ago

$10 bucks says some Nazi cops start pulling her over for bullshit taillight tickets. Someone needs to help keep this woman safe because she may end up being what saves our democracy.

catdog0610.bsky.social•194 days ago

He’ll eventually have her arrested. That’s what dictators do.

plyreen.bsky.social•192 days ago

Or murdered

catdog0610.bsky.social•191 days ago

No, they will need them to pick our produce, for construction and the service industry.

beu4ic.bsky.social•194 days ago

Almost as if he is just daring her to continue with the case so he can arrest her for all the funz

musclemomma.bsky.social•194 days ago

no doubt
