Ability to hold Public Office ever again based on a reading of the insurrection cause of the 14th Amendment. It appears likely that trump will probably be allowed to remain on the ballot but we just dont know exactly how the justices will rule or what kind of implications that may have on both the primary and on trumps legal cases. Speaking of which, the federal election interference trial in d. C. Was supposed to start tomorrow we had it not been paused due to trumps appeal of the decisions against his ridiculous absolute president ial immunity claim. A Supreme Court hearing on that claim has just been added to trumps calendar for april. Even though that trial has been delayed, trump will still find himself a criminal defendant this month. Beginning on march 25th, manhattan District Attorney, alvin bragg, will be the first to bring his case to court against the former president. Trumps former personal attorney, michael cohen, and the adult film actress, stormy daniels, are among the w

If that sounds like a familiar issue, just remember, jack smith has more than one case against Defendant Trump. The defendant was done and in Federal Court today watching as doj prosecutors argued for a july beginning to a trial and the other jack smith case.

I mean, i feel like all that we need to know is, and all we need to trust is that we can see it with our own eyes and what we can hear with our own ears and i needed a calculator to do it, but you can add up the days that remain and it could take up until july 1st what they think and theres not a day left based on what Tanya Chutkan said and shocking, but not surprising that the American People will have to be their own jurors once again.
