Donald Trump's Cases Should Get Nixon Treatment: Ex-Attorney General
newsweek ^ | 01/25/2024 | Benjamin Lynch

Posted on 01/25/2024 11:24:19 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Aformer U.S attorney general said the federal cases involving former President Donald Trump should be fast-tracked in the courts like key decisions involving President Richard Nixon were.

Eric Holder, who was attorney general from 2009 to 2015, said the cases against Trump need to be heard before the November election. Legal maneuvers by Trump's lawyers have held up the federal election case brought by Special Counsel Jack Smith in Washington, D.C. Smith also brought charges against Trump in the classified documents case in Florida.

The U.S. Supreme Court will at some point decide if Trump is immune from prosecution for crimes he is alleged to have committed as president. The D.C. Court of Appeals may rule on the election case on January 26, but either side is likely to appeal the decision, sending it to the Supreme Court.

The process will jeopardize the March 4 federal election case start date and Holder said it should be prioritized by the courts.

The absurdly biased Newsweek (print version was sold to a buyer for $1 including taking over debts) is pretending the buffoon Eric Holder is honorable and respected. He ran interference for Obama against any needs of the American people who elected him. If Sessions had been that way for Trump.....too late now.

Holder came in to cut down the rights of people who were not his persons of color constituency and to promote any form of socialism he could.

Oddly enough the Justice Department declined to prosecute Atty. Gen. Holder.

With the same speed and legal precision the FIB used to reveal the HB laptop before the last election, or the 30K missing emails in the election before that.
