Goldsmith makes no bones about not being a supporter of President Trump. Regardless, his legal analysis is well stated and there are interesting points made.

From the article:

“If this were any other defendant than Donald Trump, the rush to trial—which cannot possibly give the Trump legal team adequate time to prepare its defense—would be deemed wildly unfair.”

“Who appointed Jack Smith ruler of what American voters must know before they head to the polls?” At a minimum, Smith’s actions clearly raise the “perception of an issue under” Section 9-85.500, which requires Smith to consult the Public Integrity Section. One wonders if he did so, and, if so, what the Public Integrity Section and top Justice Department officials said to allow him to proceed.”

Goldsmith does believe that SCOTUS will ultimately reject President Trump’s immunity claim, which I thus far believe is how things will go.

We have a choice: Which America do you want? Trump’s or 0bama’s?

If the courts looked at the past eight years and the constant attacks by the Democrats against President Trump they could only conclude that the Democrats found a man and or now trying to find a crime to rid themselves of an opponent.

We are living in a critical time in history not only for the US but the world. You have to wonder just what the left is afraid of (rhetorical question, we know what they are afraid of).

The choice for the court is to rule what is best for our nation or what is best for the Democrats.

I don’t think that anyone should expect the DOJ to follow it’s own rules about timing of cases and elections. Nothing has been done to indicate that they have any goal but to find President Trump guilty of something and try and get him in a orange jump suit for a mug shot.

There is NO reason to have a trial before the election given this is political lawfare.

One possible scenario is that SCOTUS will kick the can down the road and allow the D.C. trial against Trump to proceed while making no ruling one way or the other on Presidential immunity until after the trial and conviction.

If they rule that Presidents don’t have immunity, an argument could very easily be made that no one in government does. Every government worker could be sued or imprisoned for official acts, including Supreme Court Justices. I don’t see that ruling being very popular among Washington D.C.’s denizens.
