The U.S. Supreme Court and Trump’s Immunity Case
Former U.S. Labor Secretary Robert Reich says: Every day the Supreme Court fails to make a decision in Trump’s immunity case is effectively a decision in his favor. They’re acting like an arm of Trump’s campaign by letting him run out the clock on his prosecution.
This is unsavory, to say the least; it’s a totally unprecedented travesty of justice, a disgrace to this once-fine nation.
Yet it’s quite unlikely that Trump will be able to “run out the clock on his prosecution” and walk away a free man.
For that to occur, he’d first have to be re-elected. And even if he used his power to force the DoJ to drop the federal cases against him, or to pardon himself, that won’t get him off the hook in the cases filed in Fulton Country, Georgia, where he and 18 coconspirators are charged with a broad variety of felonies associated with attempting to overthrow the U.S. federal government under the RICO Act, and he is powerless to intercede.
