Donald Trump's Cases Should Get Nixon Treatment: Ex-Attorney General

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.

Holder is still in contempt of Congress.
When does he get arrested and fast tracked?

The Democrats and Deep State owe Nixon a posthumous apology given what they did to Trump with the made up Russian collusion BS, and the illegal spying they did on Trump using that as an excuse. It makes Watergate look like child’s play.
