TWICE！
Judge Chutkan rejected Trump’s motion to dismiss his criminal charges based on a claim of “presidential immunity” on the same day a federal appeals court ruled that the former president can be sued for inciting the insurrection.

#MSNBC #Trump #trial
Trump: _”wdym I can’t do whatever I want? I’ve been doing it since before I was president and never had to pay the consequences!”_
This man whose lawyers claim he never swore an oath to uphold the Constitution is now claiming privilege under that very Constitution!
he truly believed that he had absolute power and now he is trying to use his personal beliefs to fight criminal charges. you can bet that, if he gets re-elected as president, he will work hard to establish absolute power , at least for him , as president.
If every public office holder, including the president, had total legal immunity for any of their actions during their term office, then they would have no accountability for any crimes other than being removed from office. This leads to any office holder having incentives to not only commit crimes while in office, but to then ensure that they stay in office no matter the consequences. Democracy relies on all citizens being held to the same standards, and for public office holders to be held to even higher standards.
Trump still being a candidate for the Presidency is mind boggling to me!!!
“The President is not a king, and the defendant is not the president” – Judge Chutkan
This country was founded to escape a king.
Presidential immunity is vital, as it protects the POTUS when they must make hard decisions concerning their duties. Attempting to overthrow a free and fair election to retain the office by extra-constitutional means, however, is not part of the duties of the POTUS. Trump’s reading of the Constitutional is as accurate as his comments concerning the Presidential Records Act as well. A document that his legal team of Court Jesters claim he never swore an oath “to support”.
Make Accountability Great Again
“Presidential immunity” a president can do whatever he wants and get away with…..somebody owes Nixon an apology.
I’m not even an American but unlike Trumpty Dumpty I’ve read your Constitution, no mention of Presidential immunity from crime.
Lock him up.
Well as he’s no longer president, this was always a no brainer
It’s nice to see the courts engage in common sense and reason now and again.
He doesn’t need immunity, and still everyone is afraid of him and his base.
“When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time. People know themselves much better than you do, that’s why it is important to stop expecting them to be something other than who they are.”

He deserves a class action for his election lies.
Trump’s lawyers need to quit making foolish arguments or repeating Trump’s. They need to argue he is incompetent to stand trial because of his insistence to pursue stupid arguments.
Good to finally see a rebuke of those disgusting dictatorial aspirations.
There’s only a few things Trump is immune from. The truth, humility, compassion and knowledge.
If a President can do anything, Joe Biden can have Trump thrown in a dungeon and we never have to hear from Donnie again.
Unfortunately for Donald Trump is that he’s overconfident and ignorant, and combining that with his big mouth will result in him going to jail. 😂
“Presidents are not Kings and Trump is not the President.”~Judge Chutkan~
Best quote in 2021.😊✌️💙
A loss for trump is always a win for America and the preservation of our Constitutional Republic.
People who break the law cannot seek protection under the same law!
If presidents can do whatever they want, then there’s no way to remove Joe Biden from office.
Nobody, NOBODY, should be immune to prosecution if they break the law.
Finally Father Justice is knocking on Trumps Doors. Karma is looking Trump right in the Eyes. Viva America 🇺🇸. Especially the Judicial System. ❤🥳🥳
The President is not immune from the Law.
No one is above the law they need to set a trial date for Donald Trump asap.
I’ll never get tired from all Trump’s loosing. 😂😂😂
I LOVE it…..THANK YOU Judge Chutkan!! 💙🇺🇲💙🇺🇲💙
We don’t want to hear him anymore.crime is crime
. No one is above the law!!!
