The online news collator, right-leaning 'The Hill' is out this morning with an informative reportage on the state of play with DonTrump's role in the attempt to negate the results of the 2020 election.
As we all know, the Supreme Court ruled Presidents have immunity for any official act they perform......even if it breaks existing law. Any other act ...not deemed 'official'.... can go before the lower courts for determination if a crime was committed and can the president be held accountable for it.
And so, here we are again before Judge Chutkan. Her court will determine....at this step.....if what Trump did in the illegal electors, and with the incitement of the J6 insurrection against the Congress .... well, if his actions and directions were illegal and is he accountable.
Here's a taster from that reportage:
"But in some respects, Chutkan has suggested she cannot consider the election in weighing how to proceed in Trump’s case, noting she must treat him like any other citizen.
“She’s made clear already that Trump is not going to be treated any differently, nor should he be treated any differently, than any other defendant in her courtroom. Other defendants have jobs, but they have to come to court,” Eisen said.
“We don’t have two systems of law in the United States, one for presidential candidates, one for everybody else.”
