although the cases and motions are very similar, donald trump tried to make the presidential immunity claim to judge chutkan in order to try to get his georgia election subversion state trial thrown out. of course it was denied and he is already trying to appeal that
what this new one is about is that cheeto benito was going to try to make the same whackadoodle presidential immunity argument in the jack smith federal case to try to get that thrown out as well, but he was gonna wait until the last second, just in an attempt to stall the trial for as long as he can. jack smith seen this coming so he's just gonna have the supreme court take a look at this potential argument and have a hearing and make a ruling over it just so that he can put their whole argument to bed before it can potentially delay their trial. in all likelihood this issue would probably end up getting looked at by the scotus anyways as the appeals courts arent going to want to touch this, and even the scotus probably wont take it up either as the constitution is pretty clear that a former president is still liable to be prosecuted for his crimes in a criminal trial, whether he was impeached and convicted or not.
but what this move from jack smith is going to do is put all that presidential immunity and double jeopardy shit to bed long before the trial begins, whereas in the georgia trial judge chutkan has already made her ruling and its still gonna have to go through the appeals circuits and possibly even make its way to the scotus as well because big baby butthurt is going to try to appeal everything if he doesnt get his way, and then keep on appealing when his appeals failed. he doesn't have a valid defense strategy so all he can do is buy for time, and what jack smith is doing right now is going to shut him down before he can even try to play that game. whereas in the georgia case, if they had a march trial date, this shit could very well jeopardize it depending on how slowly it moves along through the appeals courts before they rule on that and then trump appeals to the supreme court to delay that even longer. he's basically resorted to pussyfooting and using bitch stall tactics because he doesnt really have a solid legal defense for the crimes alleged against him and these kind of loser tactics is now what he's been reduced to.
