[robertjohnson]

Everytime I think they cant sink lower they do its amazing

[juliethompson]

Our courts have become a huge problem.

[jeffreytatara]

What he did had nothing to do with presidential functions so why would he overturn it

[politicalmoderate]

So it's because he's a coward. Noted.

[avatarblackwolf]

Never seen so many people afraid of one man.

[mariacosta]

I always thought it's power to the people not power to one person 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

The Supreme Court never said evidence and acts that occurred during a presidential service is immune from being included in a non-presidential case. They just said that a president cannot be CONVICTED for crimes under the official precedents duties. The information is the information, it’s not a presidential action.

[lostmysoul]

Imagine being charged with 34 felonies but you tell the court that you did it as an official act as president

[brb__bathroom]

trump campaigned and golfed the majority of his time in office, the time spent on Official Acts is shockingly low

[sandygrowler]

He was found guilty, why would he NOT be sentenced. American legal system is an absolute joke.

[myndgodandpsyche]

Why did the Manhattan district attorney leave a federal job to become a local prosecutor just for this purpose?

[rohnleidigh]

Presidential immunity is ludicrous in the first place... and trying to pull that card for acts committed before he was in office is insulting.

[izzye]

more accountability for all officials!

[thunder-moopig]

Sure he can, ……. If he don’t mind being expire by the sitting president, “ trump’s OWN words “. “ 🙏 “

[exvlocf]

Who ever thought we'd have to fight AGAINST the judicial branch to get "justice?"

[rt-]

He wasn’t president when all this happened. Besides, the payments were personal not presidential!

[heyWhatWho]

Even if you hate Trump, you should be against politically motivated lawfare

[MachiavellisThePrince]

Trump belongs in prison. He should accept his sentence instead of pushing his luck.

[dsgriffin]

Yall still paying 3 an hr for comments from India? 😅
