How in the wide world of sports could laundering money through his business to cover up an affair for his campaign possibly be deemed an "official act" of the president?

Or, just hear me out on this, they could arrest the justices as co-conspirators.

Submitted the same day the decision came down. It's almost like trump's team knew well in advance what the ruling would be. Imagine that.

What the fuck does covering up hush money payments to the adult film star you had an affair with have to do with the office of the presidency?

He wasn’t President. Are they going to overturn all his crimes because some racist, sexist bigots got their feelings hurt and voted for a moronic career criminal?

Sorry, but why would it? The conviction was for an action undertaken by a CANDIDATE WHO WAS NOT YET PRESIDENT. How can the 'official act' immunity possibly apply?

Nothing says “official act of the President” like arranging hush money payments to a porm star. What a time to be alive!

FFS, how was paying off a porn star BEFORE he was President even tangentially linked to official duties. This is a two minute discussion then push on with the sentencing.

This is bs. He was not president when he paid Stormy Daniels. Therefore this is irrelevant. In fact the NYT has been irrelevant since 2016 when all headlines went to trump.

Gosh. Was he President then? Did any of your reporters push back and ask if he was President then. Because by my math, he wasn't and therefore enjoys zero immunity for this crime. You have a nice day. Maybe think about doing your job once in a while.

Don't see where this applies. Most of this occurred before he was elected. And it certainly occurred before he was sworn in. And I might add that there is no way in hell this is an official Duty thing
