Jonathan Turley: While Trump Lost His Motion for Presidential Immunity, He May Still Be Winning the Battle to Delay the Trial

Trump wants to delay most of these trials until after the election.

He may at least have that wish granted:


Jonathan Turley
@JonathanTurley

In a 57-page opinion, the D.C. Circuit has rejected, as expected, former President Donald Trump's sweeping immunity claim. Many of us anticipated this result....

...Notably, the panel rejected the claim of many critics that there should be no appellate review. However, it categorically rejects the claim of Trump that he is entitled to immunity as a private citizen...

...Crunching the numbers, Trump can seek corrections in the short term but, even without a correction to the opinion, he has 45 days to seek an en banc where the government is a party. He then has 90 days after the rejected of any en banc decision. ...

"En banc" means the entire DC Court of Appeals -- not just the three-judge panel picked to hear this appeal -- sitting as a group to reconsider the matter.

And this is before any appeal to the Supreme Court. Trump can ask for a rehearing just from the full DC Circuit Court of Appeals itself.

...So, even without factoring in review time for the circuit, Trump could extend this process 135 days absent a successful move to expedite. The 90 day period alone would put a petition into May. Any rejection of appeals, without an expedited calendar, puts this into the summer...


...That is without delays or a successful grant on by the D.C. Circuit (unlikely) or the Supreme Court (uncertain). After that appellate line is tied off, the parties would have to return to the trial court to resume the pre-trial work, which could take months. That puts the trial very close to the election and would raise obvious concerns given the long-standing DOJ policy to avoid trials with a few months of an election.

The Very Special Counsel has previously moved for the Supreme Court to expedite the motion process, and the Supreme Court refused.

Turley notes that Jack Smith will move to expedite again -- but why would the Court reverse itself?


...While Smith will likely try again to expedite, the question is why the Supreme Court would suddenly see a need to curtail the time or process when it previously denied such efforts. There is no longer a scheduled trial on the docket and Smith is the prevailing party. That is not ideal for a motion to expedite further appeals.

Interesting:


...Notably, in a footnote at the end of the decision, the panel declines look at the merits of the threshold challenge that "the appointment of Special Counsel Smith is invalid because (1) no statute authorizes the position Smith occupies and (2) the Special Counsel is a principal officer who must be nominated by the President and confirmed by the Senate."

How could they just have blown that off?

That might be what ShipwreckedCrew was referring to when he said this decision was written almost to invite the Supreme Court to review it.

Note that the DOJ has "policies," they say, that restrain them from pursuing (or announcing) actions during campaign season. They have invoked these "policies" as their excuse for refusing to acknowledge the Hunter Biden laptop was real, for example.

Once Trump delays this until the summer, then the DOJ policy says -- unless the DOJ suddenly discovers a Special Exception -- that the trial must be delayed until after the election. The Very Special Counsel Jack Smith is a DOJ appointee and presumably bound by their "policies."

4 Presidential Immunity - I am of the opinion that it is absolute with impeachment and conviction the only way to override that immunity.

5 The left going after Trump this way will put him in a very interesting position if he were to win the presidency.

You know how they keep saying he will use the presidency to "go after" the people persecuting him? This will leave him with no other choice.

And sort of like what the Roman Senate did to Julius Caesar they might want to re-think that strategy...

7 You almost wonder if they're just throwing as much shit as possible at Trump to keep him busy, control the narrative, waste his money, torture him for not playing along, and hope they get lucky and put him away or at least make him sick.

But probably not. Even though that's what they've been doing since before 1/20/2017.

18 Don't worry. They have other "insurance policies" for a possible Trump second term.

J6 was one. It was alternatively supposed to be a leftard "peaceful protest" where Trump Shock Troopers murdered Democracy and free speech.

With Russia petered out, it was going to overtake his entire second term - trials and investigations - and Republicans once again with an excuse for refusing to work with New Hitler.

Because they wanted to?

Because the vision was to get all this squared away before the election or around then, to ensure Trump is defeated (the rest of the Party does the heavy lifting on that), then either convict him or not and let it all fade to black without establishing anything that might be considered "precedent" during intra-Party factional war in the future?

35 As a practical matter, it's way more than just 45 days (for en banc) and another 90 (for supreme court). He files for en banc at 44 days. The full court could take months[i/] to decide that. Then 90 days to the SC. More months.

I did a similar appeals process in 2d Circuit once. I don't recall exactly, but it was well over a year from the time the 2d Cir panel rejected my appeal from SDNY to when the SC finally decided my appeal (it denied cert). And I was not waiting until the end of the periods to appeal.

46 Every time they take these unconstitutional actions against Trump, his ratings go up. Even more dangerous for Democrats is the fact he builds support with the Independent demo that may otherwise be on the fence. There is no "kill shot" here for Democrats anymore. There is nothing that will keep him off the ballot and more aggressive or highly unusual actions would make things even more dangerous. Methinks Democrats are somewhat boxed in now.

Posted by: Marcus T at February 07, 2024 04:01 PM (ZSrej)

47 It seems in one of the recent filings that Special Counsel Jackass Smith requested that one part remain under seal, on the conjecture that there is yet another investigation still going on .. most likely over whether Trump tried to obstruct by destroying video of the Mar a largo storage room.

This is probably their "October Surprise"

64 SCOTUS is going to permanently disqualify tRump from holding office:

1. The amicus briefs filed were very strong supporting disqualification

2. SCOTUS is realizing the consequences of the Dobbs decision are not going the way they expected
...
6. They see the signs - tRump is going down in at least one criminal case. He has already been adjudicated to be a rapist.


They'll do it to save themselves. With TFG's comment about Day 1 dictator, they understand what happens to them.

history will judge them. Do they really want Trump to be in their legacy? There is no right to engage in insurrection and be on the ballot.

It's the only way out for the GOP to be rid of trump and still keep most of his supporters. I think the word is out to Roberts and the other conservatives.

If SCOTUS rules now they can get Nikki Hayley instead of Joe Biden. Trump is not just losing court cases, he's losing his mind. Maybe they don't want to serve under Caligula.

72 I don't know why some assume the SC won't just overturn this ruling. Congress has immunity for official acts, so do the courts. Why would the president be unique?

2 Biden judges and a Bush 41 judge made this ruling and if you listened to the hearing in front of them it was a clown show. They went into the hearing knowing they were going to say Trump had no immunity.

And if he doesn't neither does Obama or Biden or any future Democrat president.

Consider what that means.

If Trump is a loser that everyone hates it doesn't really matter if he is banned or not and really the BEST case for them politically would be to run a completely free and fair election, win, and THEN prosecute Trump...

If Trump wins absent the left taking him off the ballot it means that the majority of the country believes this prosecution is illegitimate.

86 Quick gut reaction: Despite this ruling, a delay seems possible and would be good for Trump, a BFD.

Right now, the Democrats just might lose the election if the focus is on the issues - immigration, entanglement in wars abroad, the economy, etc.

If a trial is going on before the election it will distract from Trump being able to address the issues. The MSM will focus on the trial, and of course, dramatize and spin the trial to hide the issues. It will give AWFLs, LIVs, and undecideds cover to vote for his opponent: "How can anyone vote for a criminal for President?"

Ted Cruz is proposing a bill amendment that would offer lawmakers a dedicated security escort at airports, along with expedited screening outside of public view. That could make it much less likely that the politicians’ comings and goings would become fodder for embarrassing news reports and late-night comedy mockery.

The measure would also provide the same special treatment to federal judges and Cabinet members, as well as a limited number of their family and staff. Cruz is trying to attach the amendment to a major aviation policy bill, S. 1939, that is expected to be marked up in the Senate Commerce Committee on Thursday.

Doesn't help that Biden and his family strongly resemble a crime family and Kamala is an idiot that no one likes.

220 Once Trump delays this until the summer, then the DOJ policy says -- unless the DOJ suddenly discovers a Special Exception -- that the trial must be delayed until after the election. The Very Special Counsel Jack Smith is a DOJ appointee and presumably bound by their "policies."

223 Right. Like the House has to pass spending bills first and DC isn't a unConstitutional ball of shit.
______

Too bad Johnson didn't lead with that when discussing the 'Border Security' bill, i.e. - This is dead on arrival because it's unconstitutional, spending bills have to originate in the house. Why is the Senate wasting everybody's time with this? Not that it maters, being unconstitutional and all, but here is absolutely nothing in the bill that improves border security, in fact, it does the opposite

Agree about Byrd, but he is Capitol Police.

There are also still pics of him on J6 covering the other officers with his barrel while his finger was on the trigger and he had a stack of loose folders in the crook of his left arm.

‘’ And then all elections are canceled and Biden declares martial law

I prefer imagining scenarios where we win. Like Trump has already talked to friendly US Marshals and other law enforcement. He seizes the Justice Department and FBI and arrests all the leaders. They are kept in solitary until a military tribunal hears their case.

Posted by: Dr. Claw at February 07, 2024 04:52 PM (jbnUc)

255 I think the junta, and the power brokers behind it have quite a few ops they could unleash to prevent Trump from taking office. Assuming they think he would. Not all necessarily unleash violence, but I think patience is wearing thin with some on the left about forcing some sort of "resolution" sooner rather than later.

Their so-called well laid plans are apparently not so well laid.

Unlike that girl I dated in high school.
