Political Commentator (2:18)
Is losing his mind right now after the New York judge Justice Mer ruled that Trump does not have absolute immunity following that Supreme Court ruling. In other words, the 34 felony count conviction against Donald Trump in New York stands. Here's what Donald Trump posted the opposite of presidential as he has a public meltdown, a public freakout. Just think if you're an adversary of the United States and you're watching someone melt down like this and handle it so much like just a fricking toddler, here's what Donald Trump writes, he goes breaking. What do you like? You're a new source. Breaking. In a completely illegal, psychotic order. The deeply conflicted, corrupt, biased and incompetent acting Justice Juan Mer has completely disrespected the United States Supreme Court and its historic decision on immunity. But even without immunity, this illegitimate case is nothing but a rigged hoax. Mer, who is a radical partisan, wrote an opinion that is knowingly unlawful, goes against our Constitution, and if allowed to stand, would be the end of the presidency as we know it. Mer has so little respect for the Constitution that he is keeping in place an illegal gag order on me, your president, and President elect, just so I cannot expose his and his family's disqualifying and illegal conflicts. I am the only political opponent in American history not allowed to defend myself. A despicable First Amendment violation. Exclamation point. Marshawn took the Manhattan DA's witch hunt that according to all legal scholars, including Jonathan Turley, eli Honing, Andy McCarthy, Alan Dershowitz, Greg Jarrett, David Rivkin, Elizabeth Price Foley, Andy Cherkowski, Paul and Gracia. So all Fox hosts other than Ellie Honing. Great job, Ellie, by the way, in lending your name to that. Because you're a federal prosecutor and were apparently jealous of the New York District Attorney's prosecution. Barred by the statute of limitations, the case was and should never have been brought through. His fraud and misconduct gave it a semblance of life while deranged. Jack Smith was sent packing back to the Hague after losing all of his politically manufactured cases against me. Marshan, who is far worse and even more corrupt than Smith in his fight for my hopeless political opponents, just cannot let go of his charade. Is it because of his conflicts and relations that he keeps breaking the law? This has to stop. Exclamation point. It is time to end the lawfare once and for all so we can come together as one nation and make America great again. The whiniest message in the world. I mean, for real, we should all be embarrassed by this message. First off, the special counsel Jack Smith cases were not dismissed on the basis of the merits. He's a federal prosecutor. Donald Trump is now the head of the federal government. Therefore, it is DOJ policy to dismiss the case. And Jack Smith made it clear, not at all on the merits, but simply because of the election. The conviction in New York predates the election. You were convicted on 34 separate felony counts. The United States Supreme Court issued its order on absolute immunity, which said core constitutional functions, official acts and evidence relating to official acts cannot come into play when it comes to the executive branch. The case in New York involving the 34 separate felony counts against you, Donald Trump, as found by Justice Rachel and found by a jury, involved hush money. That was what the case was basically called. It was a fabrication of business records case and then there was a cover up thereafter. That's what Justice Merchan put in his ruling. That is essentially what the jury's finding was in finding 34 separate felony counts. The conduct predates when you were in office. What Justice Mer said in his 41 page order is he said, look, I've reviewed what the Supreme Court has said on absolute immunity. I've reviewed what the Supreme Court discusses in terms of what the outer limits are. Justice Mer says if there is a hypothetical example of something you should not get absolute immunity for, it is essentially making hush money payments to an adult film actress and a quid pro quo payoff that does not constitute absolute immunity at all. That's what Justice Mern put in his very detailed order. Justice Mern also said in his ruling that your lawyers fail to assert on most claims the appropriate objections to even assert absolute immunity in the first place. But he goes, look, even though your lawyers did not do their job the right way, essentially if you wanted to make these claims on most of the claims, he goes, I'll analyze the absolute immunity claim regardless. So he analyzes the absolute immunity and says, no, this is does not fall within the Supreme Court's ruling, does not fall within the outer limits. And then he goes on to say, even if you did get absolute immunity for certain testimony regarding Madeline Westerhoot, Michael Cohen, some of your tweets and hope picks, what Justice Mer said the evidence of criminality was so overwhelming that any introduction of any of these other facts would be harmless error, such that you should be found liable anyway for the crimes that you were convicted of.
