So about the Mar-a-Lago case after SCOTUS ruling


Looks like the saying is now that Donald Trump has thrown a scotus sized monkey wrench into Mar-a-Lago case after Supreme Court immunity ruling and saying goes that Donald Trump wants to pause his classified documents case in Florida for several months so he can argue that his charges should be thrown out under the Supreme Court’s recent ruling on presidential “immunity.” The former president’s attorneys also pointed to an opinion from Justice Clarence Thomas, who appeared to agree with Trump’s argument that special inmate of the insane asylum "Jack Smith" was unconstitutionally appointed and funded and after a this the rest of us said well "Duh" you would think this is a no brainer or a "Fetterman" as we call those now. This claim is at the center of Trump’s attempt to have the case dismissed. Friday’s filings in the Mar-a-Lago case arrived just days after the Supreme Court declared that no president can be criminally prosecuted for any “official” act in the executive office, likely granting the former president some protection in his federal election interference case.

Trump now wants the judge in his classified documents case to hear arguments that he should be immune from those charges at some point between now and September, which would effectively grind the rest of Florida proceedings to a halt while they debate whether the Supreme Court’s ruling applies. Trump’s attorneys separately argued that Thomas’s argument “adds force” to Trump’s claim that Smith’s appointment and funding is unconstitutional and raises “grave separation-of-powers concerns.” Thomas wrote his own separate concurring opinion in the immunity decision to specifically take aim at the special counsel’s office, days after Trump’s attorneys made the same arguments to Judge Aileen Cannon in Florida. The conservative justice went so far as to say that the federal judge overseeing Trump’s election interference case should reconsider whether Jack Smith was even lawfully appointed to the job, giving Trump and the judge presiding over Trump’s classified documents case more legal ammunition in his favor. “If this unprecedented prosecution is to proceed, it must be conducted by someone duly authorized to do so by the American people,” Justice Thomas wrote. “The lower courts should thus answer these essential questions concerning the Special Counsel’s appointment before proceeding.”

The decision on “immunity” from the nation’s high court has already been used to scramble Trump’s sentencing in New York, where a jury in May convicted him on all 34 counts of falsifying business records. This week, Justice Juan Merchan agreed to delay his sentencing date by two months, giving Trump’s attorneys time to try and make their case that the verdict should be voided. That case explicitly deals with Trump’s private actions, largely before he entered the White House, but some evidence from prosecutors including conversations at the White House and testimony about his actions as president could be off-limits, according to his attorneys. Trump was scheduled to be sentenced on July 11. After the “immunity” decision, and pleas from Trump’s legal team, Judge Merchan postponed the sentencing date to September 18. Trump faces 40 separate charges stemming from allegations that he withheld hundreds of classified documents after leaving the White House for his private Mar-a-Lago compound in Florida, then conspired to obstruct government attempts to retrieve them.

He has pleaded not guilty as we know and to having seen the cases in this mans way I can say there is ZERO grounds for any of these to have been brought forward in anyway and my personal opinion here is that he's getting rail roaded by the Biden White House and B & M Obama, Hillary & Bill Clinton, Kamala Harris, Nasty Pelosi and the rest of these lunatic liberals are all behind these cases and appointed the likes of the Alvin Dirtbag, Fanni "Hoodrat" Willis, Tish "Fat Ass" James, Jack "Conman" Smith and the rest of the swamp. I might not have all the answers in life but this I do know folks if you vote for Joe Biden you are part of the problem...

Trump banned from talking about judge's family


Trump's been banned from talking about the judge's family in the so-called hush money case in New York. Why? Because the judge's family was paid by the Joe Biden iden campaign and is currently being paid by Adam Schiff. Donald J. Trump isn't allowed to say the judge's daughter is a Democrat consultant whose clients are fundraising off Trump's indictment.

The judge's family is getting rich off Trump trials... and he's presiding over one. But Trump fires back after judge expands gag order: ‘This judge should be recused’ he lashed out against the New York judge overseeing his hush money criminal trial Tuesday, one day after he was hit with a gag order in the case, arguing such an order is not fair when others “can talk about” him.

“I just was informed that another corrupt New York Judge, Juan Merchan, GAGGED me so that I can not talk about the corruption and conflicts taking place in his courtroom with respect to a case that everyone, including the D.A., felt should never have been brought,” Trump wrote Tuesday in a post on Truth Social. “They can talk about me, but I can’t talk about them???”



“That sounds fair, doesn’t it? This Judge should be recused, and the case should be thrown out,” he added. “There has virtually never been a more conflicted judge than this one. ELECTION INTERFERENCE at its worst!” Judge Juan Merchan issued a ruling Monday night to expand the former president’s gag order to limit his attacks against Merchan’s daughter, Loren, who is a Democratic political consultant. “This pattern of attacking family members of presiding jurists and attorneys assigned to his cases serves no legitimate purpose,” Merchan wrote in his ruling. “It merely injects fear in those assigned or called to participate in the proceedings, that not only they, but their family members as well, are ‘fair game’ for Defendant’s vitriol.”

The initial gag order in the case limited Trump’s public remarks about jurors, witnesses and “family members of any counsel or staff member,” but did not extend to family members of Merchan or Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg (D). Merchan’s new gag order will include his and Bragg’s family members, at the request of the district attorney. Loren Merchan was an executive at progressive political consulting firm Authentic Campaigns, which worked on campaigns for various Democrat leaders including Vice President Harris, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and President Biden Trump’s main 2024 opponent.
