I think the storm is coming, to wit: The July 11 sentencing of President Trump by the Columbian traffic court judge Merchan.
He’s gonna order Trump to jail. Immediate injunction to the Supremes follows, which I think would win.
Well, honestly, that depends on what the Supremes rule about his presidential immunity claim.
I think it would be very damaging to the country and ALL presidents to turn it down completely. But does Roberts recognize the risk? Does Barret?
I would say if the Supremes rule in Trump’s favor tomorrow, the likelihood of Merchan successfully jailing Trump goes down.
If not, expect Hell!
After the last week, most Americans still having a brain wave would see any jail sentence as election interference.
I am fairly confident that Trump would obtain an immediate stay of execution of sentence no matter what the sentence is. Then on appeal Trump will have this verdict overturned and probably dismissed with prejudice for many glaring reasons. Prof Jonathan Turley has summarized them best, but I have seen other reasons this case should never been filed and the Judge committed endless errors just to stick it to the Orange Man.
