MSNBC anchor Rachel Maddow said Wednesday on “All In” that the Supreme Court is trying to help former President Donald Trump as he files a lawsuit to decide whether he is immune from prosecution. He said it was a crazy attempt.
Maddow said: “The insanity of the courtroom is evident in the pacing here. For no reason, they postpone this for seven weeks and leave it for two weeks. Obviously, all of us They’re pushing every case they can push to the point where Trump is running for office before we even hear the verdict on those cases. Okay, that’s the timing. That’s the issue of immunity being an open question. Thoughts: Is there presidential privilege and public questioning? What is the most famous pardon in American history? Gerald Ford pardoned former president Richard Nixon, who resigned. Why did Gerald Ford Did they pardon him? As a result, Richard Nixon could be indicted in a court of law before he resigned as chairman of the conference as a result of his actions as president, and whether he will ever be indicted. It was said that it would depend on the outcome of the appropriate en banc meeting, the discussion between the jury and the authorized prosecutor.”
She added, “This is an open question, and the idea that a former president may never be judged for what he did because he was president simply undermines American history and its justifications.” If you read it, it will be disproved,” he added. Because Richard Nixon was pardoned in the first place. The idea that you have to bring it up is that they say, “The sky is green.” Even those of us who aren’t lawyers can tell you that the sky isn’t green, even on the worst of days. This is BS, you are doing this as a tactic to help your political friends, partisan patrons. It smells bullpacky when you say this has to be decided by the courts because it’s unclear in the law, but they know it and they don’t care that we know it. I don’t. It concerns the legitimacy of the future courts. ”
