Prosecutors in the Trump hush money case in New York oppose dismissing it, but in a court filing today say that given the need to balance competing constitutional interests consideration must be given “to potentially freezing the case until after he's out of office.”
“This is a total and definitive victory for President Trump and the American People who elected him in a landslide. The Manhattan DA has conceded that this Witch Hunt cannot continue. The lawless case is now stayed, and President Trump’s legal team is moving to get it dismissed once and for all.” - Steven Cheung, Trump communications director
@w7voa "landslide" is doing some very heavy lifting there.
@justafarmer @w7voa Not as heavy as "constitutional interests". There is no constitutional protection against prosecuting someone who won an election, not even in the vaguest principle. Rather the contrary: equal application of the law is the fundamental basis of the Constitution.
@pieist @justafarmer @w7voa ask the SCOTUS about that lol
