Ben Meiselas: 'BREAKING: Jack Smith Makes MAJOR MOVE Before Supreme Court in Donald Trump Criminal Case'

"MeidasTouch host Ben Meiselas reports on Jack Smith’s aggressive filing before the United States Supreme Court asking the Supreme Court to hear a direct appeal of Federal Judge Tanya Chutkan’s denial of Trump’s absolute immunity motion to dismiss." 

From the Meidas Touch

As my colleague Fred Schneider wrote on The New Democrat last week: 

"That's not the case with Donald J. Trump, who obviously is still an American citizen (as much as lot of Americans hate that fact and consider him an embarrassment to the country) and therefor is eligible to be tried for treason and insurrection, for his role in overthrowing the democratically, certified 2020 presidential election. 

I don't think there's any question that Donald Trump has to be tried for his role in the 2021 insurrection, both in Washington and Atlanta, at least. Apparently Michigan, Nevada, and perhaps Pennsylvania, are considering their own prosecutions against the former President as well. 

The reason why Donald Trump has to be tried for his role in January 6, 2021, is because if he weren't at least tried, (and I'm very confident he'll be convicted in Washington, at least) it would send a horrible signal to the rest of the far-right in America, that they could do this again in the future. As well as the militant far-left, who aren't exactly in love with American liberal democracy either." 

As Paul G. Summers wrote for The Tennessean last year: 

"What is commonly referred to as The Rule of Law is the principle that all persons will be treated equally and justly in a civilized society. 

No one is above the law. The highest aspirations of the rule of law are established in the Constitution of the United States and the Constitutions of the various states. 

They are the bedrocks of our constitutional republics. They structure government; allocate and establish power and authority; and provide for the three basic branches of government.  The constitutions provide freedoms and liberty."

For the 100th time or whatever, we're not lawyers at The New Democrat. We follow the news and report what know and tell our followers what we think about what we know. 

Donald Trump is an American citizen like everyone else. His lawyers aren't going to find anything in the U.S. Constitution that either puts former President's above the law, or even Donald John Trump over or under any other American citizen. 

It's true that no sitting President can be tried while in office, (according to the U.S. Department of Justice) but sitting President and former President are two different statuses. 

I think this is a brilliant move by Special Counsel Jack Smith because he knows how good of a case that he has against Donald J. Trump and he knows that Mr. Trump and his lawyers are simply trying to push this case beyond 2024 Election Day. And I expect, again as a non-lawyer, that the U.S. Supreme Court, perhaps even at least 2 of former President Trump's own handpicked appointments, will see that Mr. Trump is simply trying to delay the Washington trial, because he doesn't want to be convicted and remanded, especially before Election Day 2024.
