    Trump’s Legal Battle: Seeking Trial Delay and Presidential Immunity Amidst Complexities

    JimBy Updated: Whatfinger News 7 Mins Read

    ‘Panic in DC. Full blown white knuckle panic over these missing CIA binders, the inability to get Ukraine their upcoming bribe payment, the damning Hur report and the fact that Trump won’t face trial until after the election. I find it quite coincidental that all of a sudden there are mass shootings starting up again, and vague and obscure, national security threats being leaked. Chaos and fear is necessary for the destabilization of a country.’ – Insurrection Barbie

    Former President Donald Trump has renewed his call for the Supreme Court to grant a stay in his trial over alleged actions related to the events of January 6, 2021. In response to special prosecutor Jack Smith’s filing, Trump’s legal team emphasized the complexity of the case in a 14-page document, arguing that the extensive discovery, video footage, and numerous potential witnesses warrant a delay in the trial.

    Jack Smith “Says Delay Might Frustrate The Public”. He really means that a delay will frustrate their efforts to interfere with the presidential election. More and more Americans are waking up to reality- Ed Smith

    The crux of Trump’s defense lies in seeking dismissal based on presidential immunity, claiming that the “presidency as we know it” is at stake without such protection. In a comprehensive 110-page appeal filed earlier, his legal team contends that the lower court decision should be stayed pending a review from the Supreme Court, presenting it as a critical legal question that needs resolution.

    However, prosecutors argue that proceedings should continue at the district court level while Trump pursues avenues of appeal. In the recent filing on Thursday, Trump’s attorneys pushed back against this, asserting that a trial should be stayed to address the underlying question of presidential immunity, which, if ruled in his favor, could neutralize some of the charges.

    The argument further emphasizes the impracticality of conducting a complex criminal trial while a case of such significance is pending in the Supreme Court. Trump’s legal team claims that proceeding with the trial before resolving the immunity claim on appeal contradicts the court’s guidance that such claims are “effectively lost if a case is erroneously permitted to go to trial.”

    Two lower courts have previously rejected Trump’s claim of presidential immunity regarding his actions on January 6, 2021, aimed at challenging the 2020 election results. Despite asserting that these efforts were within the scope of his official duties as president, the courts ruled against the immunity claim.

    The Supreme Court is expected to make a decision on Trump’s request soon, either dismissing the emergency appeal or delving deeper into the matter. If rejected, the D.C. Circuit Court can proceed with arranging a trial on the election charges, potentially before the November general election. However, if the Supreme Court decides to review the case, it could extend the trial timeline by several months, with oral arguments likely to be scheduled later in the year.

    In response to the prosecution’s brief filed on February 14, Trump’s chances of winning a review, or certiorari, by the high court were deemed low. Prosecutors argue that Trump’s actions strike at the heart of democracy, attempting to thwart the peaceful transfer of power, and assert that the case is not the place to recognize a novel form of absolute immunity.

    Trump, in his Thursday filing, highlighted what he considers a “logical inconsistency” in Smith’s requests to the Supreme Court. He pointed out that Smith previously argued for the court’s intervention in December and now contends against granting certiorari on the same issues. Trump’s filing emphasizes the absence of logical consistency and calls for the requested stay to be granted.

    Trump’s legal team also revisited Smith’s move late last year, where he sought Supreme Court intervention in the expedited appeals court process. They argued against the claim that it was in the compelling interest of the public for the trial to proceed quickly, asserting that the right to a speedy trial belongs to the defendant, not the public.

    As the Supreme Court’s decision on Trump’s request looms, the legal complexities surrounding presidential immunity and the timing of the trial continue to be hotly contested. The district court had initially scheduled the trial to commence on March 4, but subsequent legal proceedings led to a delay. The outcome of this high-stakes legal battle is eagerly anticipated, with implications for the future understanding of presidential immunity.

    Since we already know the fake outcome of the trial, as the Deep State is desperate for their conviction so Biden can use it to further attack Trump come November, it will be all telling as to what the Supreme Court does. As of this writing, the fake head of the Supreme Court has sided against Conservatives over 90% of the time. Many have come to say that Roberts is tainted since the Obama years. Since his illegal decision regarding Obamacare. One immediately thinks of how Itel has access to all of our cell phone calls, texts, and emails for decades now.  Armed with such info, and no need to ever think of the law, the Left has used and abused this data against Trump and the American people. They have gone so far as to spy on Congress and the POTUS.  A Supreme Court Justice here and there is not a problem for the potential tyrants.  For America to survive as a free republic, Trump is 100% right. This must be fixed in November.
