    DC Federal Judge Delivers FATAL BLOW to Trump as Trial NEARS

    enDecember 02, 2023

    Podcast Summary

    • Judge Denies Trump's Argument for Absolute Presidential ImmunityJudge Tanya Chutkan ruled that a former president does not have absolute immunity from criminal charges, rejecting Trump's arguments based on the impeachment judgment clause, First Amendment, double jeopardy, and due process.

      Former President Donald Trump's argument for absolute presidential immunity in the criminal case against him was denied by Federal Judge Tanya Chutkan in the Washington D.C. case. The judge analyzed the text, structure, and history of the potential for absolute presidential immunity and found that the impeachment judgment clause does not restrict the ability to bring criminal charges against a president after they leave office. The judge also rejected Trump's constitutional arguments based on the First Amendment, double jeopardy, and due process. This decision comes after another ruling by the DC Circuit Court of Appeals that there is no absolute presidential immunity in civil cases against Trump. In essence, the judge's ruling emphasizes that no one, not even a former president, is above the law.

    • DC judges reject Trump's immunity claims in Capitol riots casesJudges Mehta and Chutkin denied Trump's immunity arguments in Capitol riots lawsuits, emphasizing the rule of law and separation of powers, and criticizing his filings for lacking substance.

      Two distinguished judges in the DC trial court, Judges Mehta and Chutkin, have ruled against former President Trump's use of any immunity to avoid civil liability for his role in the Capitol riots. The judges' decisions, which were issued concurrently, reject Trump's argument that he is above the law and have the potential to set important legal precedents. The judges' orders also criticize Trump's filings for lacking substance and appeal to historical and constitutional arguments to support their rulings. Notably, Judge Chutkin cited Judge Mehta's decision to reinforce her own, and both judges have been speculated as potential nominees for the US Supreme Court. The judges' decisions emphasize the importance of the rule of law and the separation of powers, and reject Trump's attempts to evade accountability for his actions.

    • Judge Chutkin emphasizes uniqueness of Trump case, dismisses chilling effect concernsJudge Chutkin acknowledges Trump case is unique, dismisses chilling effect concerns, focusing on specific allegations, no precedent for future presidents, benefits of Qualia Senolytic, speaker shares personal experience, increased energy and productivity.

      During a court hearing, Judge Chutkin acknowledged that the ongoing case against former President Trump for felonies is unique and does not set a precedent for other presidents. She also dismissed concerns about a potential chilling effect on future presidents, as Trump is the only former president to have been indicted. The judge emphasized that the case should focus on the specific allegations against Trump, as outlined in the indictment. Additionally, the speaker mentioned the benefits of Qualia Senolytic, a senolytic formula designed to eliminate "zombie cells" and improve aging symptoms. The speaker shared their personal experience of increased energy and productivity after using the product. Finally, the judge's assertive demeanor towards Trump during the hearing was noted as a highlight.

    • Judge Brown's Decision Sets Stage for Landmark CaseJudge Brown denied Trump's motion to dismiss, finding charges go beyond free speech, involving election interference and legislative influence.

      Judge Brown's denial of Donald Trump's motion to dismiss in the ongoing criminal case against him makes it clear that the charges go beyond protected First Amendment activities. The indictment alleges conduct such as attempting to influence state legislation, pressuring election officials, and using fake electors, which the judge deemed significant and distinct from free speech. Her well-written and masterful legal document showcases a deep understanding of constitutional principles and historical precedent, setting the stage for a landmark case in American legal history. Despite Trump's objections, Judge Brown's even-handed and methodical approach is a testament to her intellect and expertise, making her a formidable figure in the legal world. This case will undoubtedly be remembered as a pivotal moment in our republic's history, and Judge Brown's role in it is sure to secure her place as a legal trailblazer.

    • DC Circuit Court's ruling on Trump's civil liability doesn't apply to criminal conductThe DC Circuit Court's ruling on Trump's civil liability for campaign conduct doesn't extend to criminal conduct, and the appeal process could potentially delay a March trial against him. Biden was interviewed by Midas Touch, available on YouTube.

      The DC Circuit Court's ruling on Donald Trump's civil liability for campaign conduct does not apply to criminal conduct, and the structural principles that protect absolute presidential immunity in civil cases do not apply to criminal cases. The appeal process could potentially delay a March trial against Trump, and it is hoped that the court will either deny a stay or expedite the appeal process to avoid losing the trial date before the election. The Midas Touch team had the privilege of interviewing President Biden, which can be found on their YouTube channel.

    Trump SENTENCING Nears + Supreme Court BOMBSHELLS
    Ben Meiselas and Michael Popok are back for the weekend edition of the top-rated Legal AF podcast. On this episode, the anchors discuss and debate: (1) whether Judge Cannon will give another win to Trump in the Mar a Lago prosecution and throw out and “suppress” the incriminating testimony and evidence against him by his former attorney Evan Corcoran, and the impact on the prosecution’s case if she does; (2)  whether Judge Cannon in the Trump Mar a Lago criminal case will be persuaded TO GAG HIM by the dozens of threats against the FBI Trump and MAGA have made putting their lives in the line of fire; (3) why the Supreme Court did NOT BAIL OUT Steve Bannon and instead reaffirmed the validity of the Jan6 Committee and its subpoena powers and sent him to jail in early July to serve out his sentence for contempt of Congress; (4) why Judge Merchan in New York lifted a part of the Trump gag and whether that could impact his sentencing decisions on 7/11 for Trump’s 34 count felony conviction; (5) which is more impactful on our way of life, the Supreme Court’s throwing out the window one of the main charges against the leaders and most violent insurrectionists on Jan6, or the MAGA Justices’ wholesale destruction of the entire executive branch regulatory scheme, touching every aspect of our lives by throwing out a series of 40+ year precedent, with one stroke of the pen, and so much more at the intersection of law and politics.
