Judge Luttig: The Supreme Court just handed a ‘very difficult decision’ to Jack Smith

Judge J. Michael Luttig joins Ali Velshi to discuss the practical implications of the Supreme Court agreeing to hear Donald Trump’s far-fetched immunity claim, a move that is likely to further delay the former president’s federal election interference case. Luttig breaks down the most realistic timeline for the ruling and its fallout, predicting early October as the most likely start date for Smith’s trial to begin. Luttig also explains why the case is “far, far more important for the country and Constitution” than the United States v. Nixon case and others before it.

Judge Luttig has remarkable ability to speak in terms of complete paragraphs.

TRUMP'S IMMUNITY DODGE BEFORE THE SUPREME COURT

MSNBC

Lawrence: SCOTUS ‘threw out half of Trump’s appeal’ in immunity case

youtube.com/watch?v=EC6ZRvBP0t

This is a really different discussion from the others I have heard, especially Lawrence O'Donnell's introduction. Neil Katyal's comments are very focused. The bad news here is the same as the bad news we have heard elsewhere: - at least five Supreme Court justices have voted to delay delay delay. This video is very much worth watching.

Laurence Tribe: The Supreme Court is suppressing evidence

youtube.com/watch?v=PvLxLFeNwZ

It doesn't get more important than this.

As Eric Holder said, Donald Trump's criminal trials, in addition to his civil trials, would provide important information for voters. The Supreme Court has just suppressed that information and engaged in clear, probably deliberate election interference.

‘It is unimaginable to me the former President will be tried before November’ says Judge Luttig

youtube.com/watch?v=hg6UxwFph_

Only the Pollyanna Wing of the Democratic Party will find anything to be happy about, coming out of this discussion.

I had trouble making out key passages in Nicolle Wallace's comments. It sounded as though she was making important points. It would have been nice to hear them.

TRUMP'S LIKELY APPEAL OF APPEALS COURT REJECTION OF CRIMINAL IMMUNITY CLAIM

MSNBC

Neal Katyal: This opinion shows the legal system working at its best

youtube.com/watch?v=lWwK3sME7p

The part here that interested me most was presented by Neil Katyal. He thinks the DC election interference case can go to court before the November election. What it seems to me viewers might find most interesting is why this is what he thinks. Katyal, better than anyone I have seen or heard, explains the extreme absurdity of Trump's extravagant (to put it mildly) criminal immunity claims.

Excellent discussion of today's appeal court ruling that Donald Trump does not have criminal immunity.

4 takeaways from Trump’s loss in his immunity case
Story by Aaron Blake • 2h

msn.com/en-us/news/politics/4-

The "takeaways" field has been in a slump lately. This Washington Post piece is not an example. Rather, it is a very good read and well worth your time. It is important to have in mind that Donald Trump was not asking for immunity. He was asking for CRIMINAL immunity.

It's my party
I'll be crooked if I want to.....

PRESIDENTS MUST HAVE UNIVERSAL AND ETERNAL IMMUNITY, EVIDENTLY STARTING WITH 45

Trump SNAPS, makes most unhinged claim yet in public

Brian Tyler Cohen With Glenn Kirschner

youtube.com/watch?v=tVTtSR9UYx

If you haven't seen this video already, you would likely find it to be well worth your time. It was posted four hours ago and it already has well over a quarter of a million views and 19,000 thumbs up against zero thumbs down.

We need to check in with all living former presidents to see how many of them were prosecuted, after leaving office, by the opposing party.

The Daily Beast quoted Donald Trump's recent immunity claim this way:

“EVEN EVENTS THAT ‘CROSS THE LINE’ MUST FALL UNDER TOTAL IMMUNITY, OR IT WILL BE YEARS OF TRAUMA TRYING TO DETERMINE GOOD FROM BAD,” he wrote. In 144 words of all-caps, Trump argued that it “WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM/HER TO PROPERLY FUNCTION” without full immunity for presidential actions. He claimed that any mistake would encounter “ALMOST CERTAIN INDICTMENT BY THE OPPOSING PARTY AT THE TERM END.”

Let's take a poll of all living former presidents to see whether the opposing party indicted them after they left office.

Trump’s immunity claim would turn ‘Constitution into a suicide pact’, says Rep. Schiff

Jen Psaki interviewing Adam Schiff

youtube.com/watch?v=z3b5DkHoK1

Trump ought to think twice about arguing that a president in office can order the assassination of a political rival, with absolute criminal immunity, at a time when he, himself, is not in office. Trump had better hope Dark Brandon is not listening.
