Former Acting AG: “Trump Immunity Ruling May Lead to New York Mistrial”

Evil Democratic Party rigged the elections to control political power, launched warfare against their opponent, and worse, weaponized government institutions to attack anyone whom they deemed as a threat to their interests.

Tyrant Joe thought he could get away with all their rigging and election interference. He claims “no one is under the law,” but he weaponizes the law against his rivals. But this is not the case now, as the tables have turned in favor of the former president after the Supreme Court ruled in favor of his presidential immunity appeal.

Former acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker weighed on this issue during an interview with Newsmax on Friday.

Whitaker quipped that the recent ruling may affect Trump’s sham hush money trial in New York and raised the possibility of Judge Juan Merchan declaring a mistrial in favor of the Republican presumptive presidential nominee.

“What the court said in that opinion, I think the headline was that the official acts of the president are immune, but what the court also said, and is now binding law in the United States of America, is that any evidence of those official acts that would be immune, are no longer admissible in court to prove any other crimes,” Whitaker quipped.

“And so that’s what Judge Merchan is going to have to wrestle with and decide and quite possibly could lead to a mistrial, because there was a lot of evidence from President Trump’s time as president and some of that testimony could have been this immune activities that would no longer be admissible. So, that’s going to be a very interesting question, I think, going forward,” he added.

Just last week, conflicted Judge Merchan agreed to reschedule Trump’s sentencing to September 18, which was originally scheduled on July 11, a few days before the Republican Party convention in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

According to Merchan, the delay will allow the court to weigh the Supreme Court decision on presidential immunity.

For the former Attorney General, the delay will possibly affect the trajectory of Trump’s case.

“First of all, I think it puts a lot of pressure on Judge Merchan to do a fair sentence, and probably takes off putting President Trump in jail for this conviction, if, again, he doesn’t toss it out because of the admissibility of evidence question,” he told Newsmax.

“But it also, I think, because each of these decisions, whether it’s by the D.C. Circuit or the D.C. court, whether it’s by Judge [Aileen] Cannon down in Florida or whether it’s by the [Fulton County District Attorney] Fani Willis case — which is most likely off the table just because of the appeal is going to only be heard in October — all of those cases are dramatically delayed and another interim step, that ability to appeal this question of immunity, and these decisions about immunity at the trial level, can now be appealed immediately. I think it just adds a significant timeline to all these cases.”
