'These Cases Can Move Very Quickly': Former Acting Solicitor General Says 'If I'm Donald Trump I'm

‘These Cases Can Move Very Quickly’: Former Acting Solicitor General Says ‘If I’m Donald Trump I’m Scared Right Now’


Former Acting U.S. Solicitor General Neal Katyal says Thursday’s Supreme Court rulings in the Trump tax cases are not, despite what some are claiming, a “mixed bag.”

“If I’m Donald Trump I’m scared right now,” says Katyal, an award-winning litigator who is a professor of national security law at Georgetown University Law Center.

“I love my MSNBC colleagues and analysts but I profoundly disagree with almost everything that’s been said,” Katyal said on the cable news network late Thursday morning. “This is not a ‘mixed bag,’ or a ‘victory’ for Trump. Trump shouldn’t be happy about this. The fact is he lost. Her lost resoundingly, 7-2, including his own appointees to the court – Kavanaugh and Gorsuch.”

“The court by seven justices rejected his broad claims of immunity, and for a president who’s sworn to take care that the laws be faithfully executed in our Constitution, the Supreme Court is saying, ‘These are bogus claims.'”

...-- we don't know if it's just one tape or many (well, I don't know because maybe I missed that news) --

As opposed to election-funding fraud (SDNY), he's looking for possible tax-evasion fraud and the tape we all heard made it clear Drumph is the initial co-conspirator ('intent' of committing a crime). Vance wants to see 'how' those payments (checks) were declared on the tax forms.

One crime first, the rest later on after either his defeat or resignation (as an indicted alleged criminal in a State-Law prosecution). One of these days, his whole sh*tload of illegal criminal shenanigans will all come out in the open.

MAKE JUSTICE
GREAT AGAIN
LOCK HIM UP!

...Pete Williams, who was Darth Cheney*s press secretary during the Bush2* pResidential Administration. Williams has an agenda, and it's not necessarily telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Williams has donated to, and assumed to be a member of, the Federalist Society.

I believe Katyal.
