Biden issues warning after immunity ruling as Trump looks to overturn conviction

[KARAH RUCKER]

IT WAS A LANDMARK RULING BY THE SUPREME COURT. 

IN A 6-3 VOTE ALONG IDEOLOGICAL LINES – THE JUSTICES RULING FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP IS ENTITLED TO SOME IMMUNITY FOR OFFICIAL ACTS HE TOOK WHILE IN OFFICE. 

THE EFFECTS OF THE COURT’S DECISION WILL BE SEEN IN THE COMING DAYS. 

BUT IT TOOK LITTLE TIME FOR THE TWO PRESUMPTIVE NOMINEES IN THE 2024 PRESIDENTIAL RACE TO REACT. 

AFTER THE HIGH COURT’S RULING  – GIVING TRUMP SOME IMMUNITY FROM BEING CRIMINALLY PROSECUTED ON CHARGES OF ATTEMPTING TO OVERTURN THE 2020 ELECTION – WHILE NOT TOTALLY DISMISSING SPECIAL COUNSEL JACK SMITH’S CASE — 

THE FORMER PRESIDENT IS REPORTEDLY LOOKING TO HAVE HIS NEW YORK TRIAL CONVICTION OVERTURNED BASED ON THE SUPREME COURT’S DECISION. 

ACCORDING TO TRUMP’S LEGAL TEAM – THE MANHATTAN JURY’S VERDICT THAT FOUND HIM GUILTY OF FALSIFYING BUSINESS RECORDS — SHOULD BE OVERTURNED BECAUSE THE JURORS SAW EVIDENCE DURING TRIAL THAT THEY CONSIDER NOW TO BE PROTECTED. 

TRUMP’S LAWYERS ARE SEEKING A DELAY IN TRUMP’S SENTENCING – WHICH IS CURRENTLY SCHEDULED FOR JULY 11TH -SO THEY CAN HAVE MORE TIME TO MAKE THEIR CASE. 

IN THE SUPREME COURT’S OPINION, CHIEF JUSTICE JOHN ROBERTS WROTE – “THE PRESIDENT IS NOT ABOVE THE LAW. BUT… THE PRESIDENT MAY NOT BE PROSECUTED FOR EXERCISING HIS CORE CONSTITUTIONAL POWERS.” 

AFTER THAT DECISION CAME DOWN – TRUMP POSTED ON HIS TRUTH SOCIAL SITE – “BIG WIN FOR OUR CONSTITUTION AND DEMOCRACY. PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN.” 

MEANWHILE PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN DECIDING THE HISTORIC RULING WARRANTED A PRIMETIME ADDRESS —  WARNING OF WHAT HE CALLED A “DANGEROUS PRECEDENT.” 

BIDEN CALLING THE RULING A “DISSERVICE TO THE PEOPLE OF THIS NATION” SAYING THE DECISION MEANS THAT THERE IS “VIRTUALLY NO LIMITS ON WHAT A PRESIDENT CAN DO.” 

PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN 

“This nation was founded on the principle that there are no kings in America. Each, each of us is equal before the law. No one, no one is above the law, not even the president of the United States. [With] today’s Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity, that fundamentally changed for all practical purposes.” 

[KARAH RUCKER]

BIDEN REPEATING JUSTICE SONIA SOTOMAYER’S DISSENT – SAYING THE RULING MAKES THE PRESIDENT QUOTE “NOW A KING ABOVE THE LAW.”  

IN RESPONSE — TRUMP POSTING THAT THE PRIMETIME ADDRESS WAS JUST MEANT TO DEFELECT FROM BIDEN’S QUOTE “HORRIBLE CAMPAIGN PERFORMANCE.”

AND HE HAD TO GET THE LAST WORD BEFORE OFFICIALLY BEING TAKEN INTO CUSTODY. 

STEVE BANNON | TRUMP ALLY

“I was on a destroyer for four years in the Navy. I am prepared for whatever prison has, right? Our prisons are run very well. The Bureau of Prisons does a great job. I’m prepared to do this, whatever task I do, I’m totally prepared mentally, physically, everything for prison.”
