Yes, but even the NYC case, the prosecution used Federal Election Law as a crime committed.
Oh that’s right and thanks.
Correct.
“Yes, but even the NYC case, the prosecution used Federal Election Law as a crime committed.”
The use of federal election laws has nothing to do with presidential immunity. The NYC case will be overturned based upon the SCOTUS opinion in Erlinger v. United States, decided 06/21/24. In that case, the court held that under the 5th and 6th Amendments to the Constitution, a unanimous jury must find the defendant guilty of the other acts based upon proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
In the NYC case, Bragg elevated the case from a low level misdemeanor to a felony by alleging that Trump falsified business records to cover up three other crimes, i.e., federal election law violations. However, Judge Dumbass apparently instructed the jury that they did not have to reach a unanimous verdict on any of the underlying violations as long as any combination of jurors unanimously agreed that he committed any combination of the underlying violations. In other words, the jury could find him guilty of a felony even if less than twelve jurors found him guilty on each of the underlying violations.
