Joan Biskupic, a Supreme Court biographer and CNN legal analyst, recently told Laura Coates that the judges did not seem to agree on why their legitimacy was being questioned. “He knows he lied for his client, and he knows we all know that,” Frydman said Tuesday on CNN`s “New Day”, suggesting giuliani`s tactic will be to delay trials as much as possible. “I think you know, at this point in his life, his goal is to die as a free man.” A day of double legal whammys has undermined former President Donald Trump`s fight to avoid prosecution for accumulating secret documents, exposing him to potential civil penalties targeting the wealth of cases on which his political mysticism is built. As always, when Trump faces a legal threat, the question arises as to whether he will have a political price. Trump`s lifetime ability to thwart accountability now faces the toughest test as investigations and evidence against him increase. Trump has not been charged with any crime, but the legal and judicial procedures he masters to delay and twist procedural knots are now making serious progress. CNN`s Dan Berman has an ongoing list of all the major legal issues surrounding Trump, including a defamation case against the former president. See the list. The Court of Appeals not only partially suspended a lower court`s decision to stop the DOJ`s review of 100 secret Mar-a-Lago documents that officials say are government property and could expose U.S. intelligence sources and methods, and even endanger secret U.S. assets abroad. The decision also erased the argument of Trump`s legal team that the former president may have declassified the documents as president. Steve Vladeck is a CNN legal analyst and professor at the University of Texas School of Law who has written a new book about the so-called “ghost list” of judgments offered with arguments or decisions.
The subtitle: “How the Supreme Court Uses Clandestine Decisions to Amass Power and Undermine the Republic.” Giuliani`s exposure to legal difficulties as a stooge of Trump`s election conspiracy theories and efforts to overturn the 2020 results weighs on the former New York City mayor and U.S. attorney who knows a thing or two about law enforcement. said Ken Frydman, Giuliani`s former press secretary. Both developments appear to have broadened Trump`s potential legal exposure, which now appears strong in at least three separate dramas, including an investigation in Georgia into his alleged attempt to steal the 2020 election in that critical pivotal state. The ex-president denied any wrongdoing in all cases. Many Republicans, for what it`s worth, had already lost confidence in the Supreme Court, according to Gallup, after decisions were made on nationally legalizing same-sex marriage and maintaining the Affordable Care Act. Republican faith has recovered, reaching 84% in 2020 before falling to 61% in 2021. Now it has risen to 67%. The problem is the impression that judges leave when the lower courts have gone to great lengths to explain and defend their decisions and, as in Miller`s case, the court unceremoniously overturns them. The recent legal rebukes come from Trump as he considers that a likely 2024 presidential campaign he has already reported would be based on his claim that he is being politically persecuted by democrats, and has already implicitly warned against violence.
if he is formally charged. There is little chance that the former president`s base will turn against him. Still, other damaging accusations about Trump`s behavior are unlikely to help his already shrinking position among voters in the 2020 general election that removed him from office. And the pressure of another serious legal threat can`t help but incriminate him as he thinks of another White House candidacy. However, this is an erroneous and dangerous comparison, as Trump and his legal problems are the anomaly among all previous presidents and he has not yet been charged with crimes. On the contrary, the U.S. judicial system seems biased not to bring him to justice, at least not without mountains of evidence. Elsewhere in the new application, Trump alluded to his desire to include the documents marked as classified in the drain of challenges his lawyers will face in the special trial before dearie. He repeated arguments, viewed with extreme skepticism by a wide range of legal experts, that the Presidential Archives Act could protect him from criminal charges for his manipulation of documents. Trump also hinted at the idea that he may have released the documents in question. However, as in the early stages of the dispute, Trump remained close to making the claim directly. The Justice Department`s victory in District 11 represents another legal blow for Trump, as it targets the idea that he is immune to the rules regarding classified information.
In its submissions to the lower court, the Justice Department also warned that Dearie`s review covering these documents would potentially allow members of Trump`s legal team to access them, including lawyers to whom the department has flagged that he is considered possible witnesses in its investigation. CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig said the call was aimed at delaying the Justice Department`s investigation into the former president if possible. “She`s looking for what in-house lawyers call the death penalty for companies, which would be a decertification of the Trump Organization so they can`t even do business in New York anymore,” CNN legal analyst Paul Callan told Anderson Cooper. The darkening legal storm for Trump also reinforces the extraordinary possibility that a former president will face possible criminal prosecution and severe civil penalties that could significantly threaten his assets. Much of Trump`s initial political appeal lies in the idea that he is an extremely successful tycoon who has built an extremely profitable business and amassed personal wealth. If it is proven that everything is a scam and that his career is a house of cards built on illegal actions, his narrative will absorb a serious blow – although it is unlikely that this will be enough to shake his appeal to his grassroots voters.
