Karen F. Agnifilo: 'Donald Trump NY CRIMINAL Case Becomes MORE URGENT After Latest News'

"Former Prosecutor and Legal AF Host, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, reports on the Supreme Court’s decision to hear Trump’s appeal on Presidential Immunity and explains why all eyes now turn to the Manhattan DA Hush Money case." 

From the Meidas Touch

"Each count for which Trump is convicted could result in a prison sentence of up to four years, to be served consecutively, or the judge could impose no prison sentence.[114] A conviction would not legally prohibit Trump from continuing his campaign in the 2024 presidential election, nor would he be forbidden from assuming presidency should he win, even if he were in prison.[115] Trump stated in an April 2023 Fox News interview with Tucker Carlson that he would not drop his candidacy in the 2024 U.S. presidential election if he is convicted."

I mostly agree with what Karen Friedman Agnifilso is saying here. But before I get into that, I just want to say something on behalf of The New Democrat. 

Myself and my colleague Fred Schneider both predicted on The New Democrat this year, that the Supreme Court wouldn't just deny Donald Trump's bogus (to be kind) presidential immunity claim but that the Supreme Court wouldn't even take that case. We would've talked about this yesterday, or one of us would have, but the story didn't break to after 5PM. And we wanted to get more information on this story before we tried to put something on this blog.

Now again, I'm not a lawyer and if you are getting tired of hearing us say this, then we're getting through. I don't see how the Washington trial gets started and finished before election day. But, I still think that by August, or perhaps September, we could at least see the discovery portion of this trial of this case take place and we can see a lot of what Special Counsel Jack Smith and company have on Donald Trump in this case. Which is something that voters would be able to consider in deciding who to vote for during the election. And perhaps even the trial started. But the 2nd part is a bigger long shot.

So this is where I completely agree with Karen Agnifilo: Manhattan is now front and center. District Attorney Alvin Bragg has 34 felony counts against Donald J. Trump. Yes, this is the smallest and least important case against Donald Trump. But imagine a career mobster who has 4 separate felony cases against him, with a tone of solid evidence against him. And the crime that's the least important against him, is an arson charge, where he's charged with blowing up the offices of one his competitors, or something. But he's also being charged with murder 1 or murder 2, rape, and being the lead conspirator of a bank robbery. That's the world that Donald J. Trump now lives in. 

If Donald Trump is just convicted of one the charges that Alvin Bragg has against him, he's a convicted felon. Unless he wins that case on appeal, which might not be until a year later from after he's convicted. But, any felony convictions after the 1st one, makes Donald Trump a serial felon, who thinks that he's above the law, whose also running for President of the United States. I don't see how that helps him, plus with all the evidence against him, not just in Manhattan, but in Washington as well, during the election. 

You don't see a lot of Independents rallying for career criminals to be President of the United States. Show me the people who are saying: "You know what, we need more criminals in our government, just to shake things up." Because most Americans tend to not just believe in the rule of law, but the rule of law for everybody. And that includes not just the current President of the United States, but former President's as well.
