@GottaLaff Am I wrong thinking there was no official act falsifying his own business records to become POTUS in 2016?

@GottaLaff

NYS Court of Appeals:
Hellerstein also found that immunity does NOT apply bc the alleged campaign corruption and cover up were purely personal & political

It had nothing to do w/Trump’s official duties—which of course is exactly the test that SCOTUS established yesterday (4/x)

@GottaLaff he's looking for another reason to appeal and stay out of jail.

@GottaLaff The acts in that case occurred before he was president, though, so there's no way they can be official acts....

@GottaLaff I too am asking for a speeding ticket to get thrown out, I'm running for President at some point in my future.

@GottaLaff ....of course he did.

Not technically something applicable, but he will depend on fear of what will happen if he gets into office.

@GottaLaff Is he going to argue that since he signed the checks to Cohen from the Oval Office, that makes it an official act? LOL.

@GottaLaff But he wasn't president yet. How does that work?

@keithnowak@mstdn.social avatar

@GottaLaff wait, am I crazy, or was he not even president when he committed those crimes?

I mean, there are so many crimes it is hard to keep them straight, but still...

@GottaLaff checks out, even though he was not in office.

@GottaLaff
Wait-a-minute!

Even if he can con the court into saying that campaigning for office is an official act, the calendar says he wasn't in office at the time.

@GottaLaff But ... didn't the E. Jean Carroll events occur years before that?
