Supreme Court Reacts to Trump, Gives Jack Smith 7 Days

as election season is really beginning to kick into high gear so are the many lawsuits that have been lobbied against President Trump and so today let's go through where all these different cases stand starting over in Washington DC with the January 6th case this is of course the case being pushed forward by Mr Jack Smith charging president Trump with four separate counts of conspiracy and obstruction related to the events that unfolded back on January 6th of 2021 now currently this case is at a bit of a stand still that's because president Trump attempted to have the entire case dismissed based on the principle of executive immunity essentially the argument that Trump's lawyers made was that since the alleged crime took place while Trump was the president of the United States He is immune from any and all prosecution now the judge overseeing that case well she did not buy that argument and she refused to dismiss the case based on that argument and so Trump's legal team they then appeal that decision to the US court of appeals for the DC circuit however the appeal appeals court they also ruled against President Trump rejecting the idea that presidents are immune from all criminal prosecution the appell court they wrote that Trump has to stand trial within 4 days unless he appeals to the US Supreme Court and of course that's exactly what he did in their roughly 100 page filing here is the argument that Trump's lawyers made to the US Supreme Court quote a panel of the DC circuit has in an extraordinarily fast manner issued a decision on President Trump's claim of immunity and ordered the mandate return to the district court to proceed with President Trump's criminal trial in four business days unless this court intervenes as it should without immunity from Criminal prosecution the presidency as we know it will cease to exist in 234 years of American history no president has been criminally prosecuted and for good reason to set such a precedent would open the floodgates if the prosecution of a president is upheld such prosecutions will recur and become increasingly common ushering in destructive cycles of recommendation the threat of future criminal proc prosecution by a politically opposed Administration will hang like a millstone around every future president's neck distorting presidential decision-making undermining the president's Independence and clouding the president's ability to deal fearlessly and impartially with the duties of his office and so essentially Trump's legal team they put forth two separate questions in front of the US Supreme Court the first question was whether or not a president can be criminally prosecuted for official acts that were undertaken while he or she was in office and then the second question was quote whether an impeachment would foreclose criminal prosecution for the same charges under the principles of Double Jeopardy meaning in plain English that since president Trump was already impeached and then subsequently tried in the senate for his actions on January the 6th would this case count as Double Jeopardy since he would essentially be forced to stand trial twice for the same alleged crime these are the two questions that were put forth in front of the US Supreme Court and for Trump's legal defense team there is a lot writing on the US Supreme Court agreeing to take up this case that's because if the Supreme Court decides to not take up this case then the trial might begin immediately which is exactly what Trump's legal team is trying to avoid with a Washington DC jury pool the trial would likely find president Trump guilty prior to the November election but if they can either have the US Supreme Court rule that presidents are in fact immune from Criminal prosecution or more likely if the US Supreme Court just agrees to take up the case and put a stay on the appeals court order then the entire Tri trial will be stalled and then of course if president Trump is then subsequently elected in November then the case will be delayed by another four years because he will not be able to stand trial while actively being a president and so here's basically where the Washington DC case currently stands the trial itself is on hold Jack Smith and his team are demanding that the trial proceedings resume right away even as president Trump is pursuing his appeal with the US Supreme Court basically Jack Smith he wants the trial to run in tandem with the appeals process however Trump's lawyers they're arguing the exact opposite and to that end they have made a special request to the US Supreme Court quote Trump's defense attorneys requested the Supreme Court issue a stay on the lower court decision pending a review from the high court they asked that the stay be extended until the Supreme Court has reviewed the case and also state in the event of a petition for a re Hearing in the appeals court something the appeals court expressly did not Grant in its own order the lawyers make the case that the Supreme Court Grant the appeal and review the case because it involves an important area of law not yet settled by the court essentially Trump's emergency appeal is asking the US Supreme Court to place a hold on the ruling of the appeals court so that the actual trial will not be able to resume during this period of time when the case is still being appealed at the US Supreme Court level and indeed the US Supreme Court appears to be placing significant urgency on this request given the fact that Chief Justice John Roberts gave Mr Jack Smith just seven days five business days but seven days in total to file a response which is an extremely expedited timeline Jack Smith has until this upcoming Tuesday to file his response quote the Supreme Court asked for the special counsil to file his response by the afternoon of February 20th after that filing Trump's legal team will get a chance to file a reply after which the court can act on Trump's request at any time at its own discretion and so we'll have to wait and see how the US Supreme Court decides in this particular matter if they accept Trump's request then a hold will be placed in the prosecution if they deny the request however then the prosecution will probably restart right away let's wait and see what actually happens in the meantime though let's head on over to New York where you have several trials that are being lobbied against President Trump at the moment there are three cases playing themselves out here in relation to president Trump you have the first case the case of egene Carroll who was recently awarded a settlement of about $83 million in her defamation lawsuit now president Trump has already announced that he will be appealing that verdict in the near future although it appears that at this very moment at least no appeal has yet been filed then you have another case the one that was brought forth by New York attorney General Miss Leticia James against President Trump his adult children as well as the Trump organization the claim here by the New York attorney general is that President Trump as well as his company they inflated the value of their Assets in order to get better lending terms from different banks now the actual trial itself is over judge Arthur angran has already found Trump and the Trump organization guilty and he is now deliberating on what the penalty will be this is by the way for your reference a bench trial and so judge angran is the sole Arbiter for everything he's the one who unilaterally decided that Trump was guilty and he is the one who is deciding on what the actual penalty will be now just for your reference Miss Leticia James she is pushing for the following quote Miss James a Democrat is seeking $250 million in penalties and wants to ban president Trump from doing business in New York and from engaging in real estate Acquisitions in the state for 5 years she's also seeking for him and his children to be barred from serving as highlevel Executives at any company in New York the official announcement from Judge inran is do any day now and probably within the next week or two we will have a ruling in regards to what the penalty will be although whatever that ruling will be president Trump will be appealing this whole case to the New York Court of Appeals meaning that the final final decision in this case will probably take another year or two to actually figure out all right just to pause here for a super quick moment listen it's obvious that the financial system is not looking too great after being pumped up with trillions of virtually free government dollars for many many years now well the stock bubble might actually burst in the near future and in that process unfortunately it could take away the nest egg of anyone who happens to be exposed to it and so consider taking this opportunity to diversify into something which is beyond the grasp of Washington DC and Wall Street physical gold and silver and the best company to use in my opinion is the sponsor of today's episode American Hartford gold who I should mention is also my own personal gold and silver bullion dealer and besides myself they have thousands of five star reviews from other Americans and they also have an A+ rating with a Better Business Bureau and working with them is rather simple they have a huge selection of coins bars and rounds to choose from they have super friendly staff who you can call and they can set up either gold delivery directly to your doorstep or they can even set you up in a gold IRA and then lastly best of all if you tell them the Roman sent you they will throw in a free gold coin with your first qualifying purchase so give them a call the number is 866 242 2352 that's 866 242 2352 or you can simply text Roman to 65532 I'll also throw a link to their web page it'll be down there in the description box below and so that is the second case against President Trump the third case is one that most people have already probably forgotten about the hush money case in regards to miss Stormy Daniels this was the case brought forth by Manhattan district attorney Mr Alvin Bragg and it alleges that President Trump falsified his business documents in order to pay off a woman who was alleging that they were having an affair now ironically out of all the cases that were brought forth against President Trump this one was actually the first however because of all the other cases that sprung up since then this one has been put on the back burner but since the case over in Washington DC has been delayed due to the US Supreme Court appeal that we just discussed a moment ago well the stormmy Daniel's case is now getting pushed up quote president Trump was charged with 34 counts last April and the case was originally set to go to trial on March 25th however president Trump would be indicted three more times that year with a federal judge in Washington DC setting a March 4th trial date in a separate case the Stormy Daniels case was expected to be delayed according to the district attorney for a Time experts had predicted that this might be the last of the four cases to go to trial but the Washington DC case has since been removed from the judge's calendar therefore New York judge Juan merchin will hold a scheduling conference this week to clarify the timetable for the case which could resume and go to trial in March that ruling is set to come on Thursday meaning that since the Washington DC case has has been put on an indefinite hold this case the New York stormmy Daniels case might be moving up on Thursday of this week which is tomorrow the Manhattan judge overseeing this case will hold a hearing and decide on when the trial should actually start for your reference president Trump will actually be in attendance at this hearing in New York and so by tomorrow we should have an update on the start date of this Stormy Daniels trial however that's not all that's going to be happening tomorrow because over in Fon County Georgia the judge who's overseeing Trump's RICO case he will be having a televised hearing ing tomorrow centered around whether Miss fny Willis and her personal relationship with Mr Nathan Wade the lead prosecutor in the case constituted a form of misconduct and according to Judge Scott McAfee who is the Reco judge this is a serious hearing that could very well lead to the disqualification of Miss fny Willis quote I think it's clear that disqualification can occur if evidence is produced presenting a conflict or the appearance of one and the filings submitted on this issue so far have presented a conflict of interest that can be resolved as a matter of law specifically looking at defendant Michael Roman's motion it alleged a personal relationship that resulted in a financial benefit to the district attorney that is no longer a matter of speculation the state has admitted a relationship existed and so what remains to be proven is the existence and extent of any Financial benefit again if there even was one and so tomorrow we can look forward to seeing these televised proceedings live besides Miss Fanny Willis and Mr Nathan Wade there will be about a dozen other Witnesses who will be called to the stand in order to determine whether or not there was any improper financial gain on the part of Miss Fanny Willis and then subsequently whether she should be disqualified from the Trump RICO case altogether so that's all to say that there's a lot to look forward to this upcoming week if you'd like to go deeper into any of these updates I'll throw the links to all my reference notes they'll be down in the description box below this video if you're the type of person that likes to dig into
