How do you think Judge Chutkan will eventually rule on Trump's immunity claims?

I suppose that is partly the reason she has called a meeting for the 16th of this month. She is moving quickly. She has already shot down two of Trump's requests to dismiss the case.

So it seems she is not ready to accept everything, or anything, as "official" duties of the President when it comes to criminal activities, no matter what Trump may have assumed the Supreme Court meant by their ruling.

It appears that a court will hear the evidence in the case and there is plenty. Still, Trump and his lawyers will appeal, eventually back to the Supreme Court. At least, that is my understanding at this time..

Perhaps some legal scholars can further enlighten us about what to expect from Judge Chutkan?

1. Lying, cheating, selling defense secrets, and trying to overthrow America are all evil

So she should lock his Felonious republican ass up, and throw the key away.

4. Isn't this the January 6th trial?

2. The Supreme Court has already displayed its contempt for the Constitution by defying all lower court rulings that were

based on the law, in issuing this ridiculously ignorant and contemptible statement on presidential immunity. Nothing he did related to January 6th had anything to do with official duties of the President by any legal standard. So I hope she rules in such a way that it will make the Supreme Court look even more partisan and anti-Constitutional than they do now.

It's too bad there's not some way for the people to have the court members who don't follow the Constitution arrested, tried and imprisoned for subverting the Constitution.

3. With their "official" duties ruling, I think it was just ambiguous enough...

...to create time for the felon to make it thru the election. I doubt that Judge Chutkan will waste much time with what is "official" or what is not and will not cut a lot of slack to the felon. It's not a good look to have your nominee facing such charges just before an election.

8. I'm sure the judge has already had staff go through the charges

And sorted out what is definitely constitutionally official, definitely unofficial, and what needs to be adjudicated.
They've probably also already defined the boundaries as to official, unofficial, and grey areas as tightly as they could per a constitutional argument.
My guess is they're ready to rumble.

9. Agree On Official Duties

As all actions were specifically connected to the election, it seems they were associated to his CANDIDACY. They're actions in support of a candidate, not the official actions of the office.
Of course, I'm not talking about fine points of law. Just seems obvious to me that these actions were part of a campaign for a person that lost.
Now, they could try to pass the tale that he needed to act because he was obligated to do something about a rigged election. I think that's weak because they've had 45 months to present evidence & none yet exists.

5. It's now obvious that the SCrOTUS ruling on bribery...

Uh, I mean “gratuity” was front running the Egypt $10 M cash drop to Trump. I thought ipsopostfacto was frowned upon in jurisprudence?

Recommended.

7. I think so, too.

The felon is not going to get off that easy, in my opinion. He may delay, but if he loses the election, he may as well leave the country.
