SCOTUS Bombshell On Trump Immunity - Criminal Cases Rocked

Hey ladies and gentlemen this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America and nothing triggers the liberals

right now like the Supreme Court. Before we get started please make sure you like, comment

share, and subscribe. Those little things really help us out and they help our channel continue to

grow. The world has been waiting and certainly this country has been waiting. Fannie Willis has

been waiting. Jack Smith has been waiting for the immunity case of former President Donald Trump

to be decided on by the Supreme Court. Heck it could even affect District Attorney Alvin Bragg's

case in which Trump was already convicted when it goes for appeal. This is a major massive ruling

that will not only impact former President Donald Trump but impact the presidency forever

and liberals well they're starting to freak out about it because the court's not doing it quick

enough for them. Now here's my prediction. My prediction is they're going to be really even

more frustrated when the immunity case is decided because I believe the decision will not be in

favor or against. I believe they'll kick it back to the lower courts, have it dragged through the

lower courts, and then come back up to the Supreme Court which means there's no chance

Trump gets on trial this year and then well then he could be president. Watch this report and watch

this absolute meltdown on CNN and then leave me your comments on what you think should happen

with this case. Tonight we are still waiting on rulings from at least 20 cases that are left on

the Supreme Court's docket. It's still quite packed and that includes the biggest blockbuster

of them all. Donald Trump's claim of immunity from criminal prosecution. In the New York Times today

you might have read this. One legal expert wrote something's rotten about the justices taking so

long on Trump's immunity case. It passed his prologue as Leah Lippman argues in that article

Trump's case should have been decided by now. What we know of course is when you look at the calendar

111 days have passed since the court agreed to hear this case. Now compare that to Watergate when

then President Nixon was arguing immunity from a subpoena that was seeking his Oval Office recordings

and the Supreme Court made that decision in 54 days. I want to get perspective tonight from John

Dean who is the former White House counsel to President Nixon and it's great to have you John

because I don't know when you when you look at this and you see what Leah is arguing in her

article today. Do you believe it's taking an unusual amount of time. Are you suspicious of this

Caitlin I'm very suspicious of this. There's just absolutely no reason for it. It was 16 days from

arguments a decision in Nixon versus U.S. where they tried to where they got the tapes from him

So there really is not a clear explanation of what's going on there. You noted the number of

decisions important decisions that haven't been issued yet. There's a lot of administrative law

kind of decisions which really are not as important in the bigger picture. They are to the litigants

but not to the fate of the nation as the one they're now sitting on for some hundred days. So

there is not a good explanation at this point. Yeah. And I think the other part of this is it is a

historically sluggish court. The Wall Street Journal looked at this and noted that the justices

here are completing decisions at the second slowest rate that we've seen from the Supreme

Court since their 1946 term. And April was a very busy month for them. But I wonder you know

when you do look at this how much of it is a matter of the process and making a big decision

like this one versus you know when people see it as maybe a political delay as Liam Lippman is

suggesting here. Well the fact that there are the number of decisions that are backed up

would really some of the proponents are trying to really disassemble the administrative state

And I'm sure there's contentions within the court itself that could prolong and protract

those decisions just in the normal course. Then you add in the immunity case for Trump

which was actually it's been some six months I've been sitting on that because ignoring it if you

will or not facing it or not telling the public what the decision is because the special counsel

Jack Smith brought it in initially in December as an emergency proceeding. So the court certainly

knows the prosecutors think it's important to get this decided. Yet as I say if you know if it comes

out in June hopefully it will not get pushed over until July. This is a long time on that case

Yeah and ultimately I mean we could see this as soon as tomorrow potentially. Tomorrow is

a Supreme Court day. We never know what's going to come down. Do you think though ultimately

when it does come out that Trump's immunity claim fails. It should by all precedent by all history. I can't imagine any argument that could grant him

total immunity. There is total immunity which was extraordinary at the time in civil cases for

presidents. While judges and members of Congress have immunity from their work in their legislative

work or judicial work per se presidents have never needed it because you know it is just not been

an issue after Fitzgerald versus Nixon. So now we're into the criminal area and nobody else has

criminal immunity in the entire federal system. So the fact that Trump wants absolute immunity

is extraordinary. I can't believe Caitlin he's going to get it. Can't believe it

It's just remarkable. I spent part of the day today and I can't believe I'm saying this because

I'm so nerdy but I was reading some of the transcripts of the Nixon Oval Office recordings

and in conversations with you. It's just remarkable. John Dean it's great to have

you weigh in on this. Thank you for being here tonight. Thanks Caitlin
