A three-judge panel from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit just dropped a decision that, frankly, isn’t sitting well with many Trump supporters. They’re saying Trump doesn’t have this broad immunity from federal prosecution. Now, we all know this is a major legal setback for our former president, and you can bet he’s gearing up to appeal this decision.
This all comes on the heels of Trump’s legal team making some strong claims about him having immunity from federal prosecution. Lawyers for the special counsel were quick to push back, saying this could “undermine democracy.” But let’s be real, folks, Trump’s legal team was just doing their job, defending him like any good lawyers would.
During the oral arguments, Judge Florence Pan didn’t hold back, questioning Trump’s attorney, D. John Sauer, about whether a president could supposedly sell pardons or nuclear secrets. I mean, come on, it’s like they’re throwing the kitchen sink at him. And then there’s Judge Karen L. Henderson, talking about how it’s “paradoxical” for presidents to pledge to execute laws only to get legal protection after violating them. Give me a break.
Now, Trump is facing four felony counts, all because they claim he led some conspiracy to hold onto power and disenfranchise millions of voters in 2020. They’re blaming him for the chaos at the U.S. Capitol three years ago. It’s like they’re trying to rewrite history or something.
And let’s not forget, this decision is happening right when Trump is gearing up for a comeback. He’s leading the charge for the Republican presidential nomination, and what do they do? Drop this decision on him. Coincidence? I think not.
He’s been vocal, saying he won the 2020 election, and now they’re trying to mess with him legally. It’s a tough time for Trump, especially when you consider he’s facing a whopping 91 criminal charges across four different jurisdictions. Talk about a legal witch hunt!
Now, Trump’s lawyers are already hinting at dismissing federal cases if he’s back in the White House. They’re strategizing in Georgia to potentially delay a case until 2029. And you know what? Trump’s supporters are standing by him. They see through the political games being played, and they know this is all just an attempt to undermine the man they elected to lead this country.
So, Trump is going to appeal, no doubt about it. Whether it’s to the full D.C. Circuit or straight to the U.S. Supreme Court, he’s not going down without a fight. And Trump supporters? Well, they’re rallying behind him, ready to face whatever legal battles come their way. After all, he’s still the people’s president, and no court decision is going to change that.
