This is patently absurd. He falsified records BEFORE becoming president.

Well, why not? That’s how hubris works. Today, SCOTUS told him that he’s above the law. Trump has been skirting the law all of his adult life & getting away with it. So, yeah, he wants all of the courts to drop all cases against him. It’s critical now that Merchan gives Trump jail time next week.

In a sane world, no court in the land would allow his motion to proceed. But as we saw from SCOTUS over the past two weeks, we don't live in a sane world.

Well, for that matter, his immunity case before SCOTUS was patently absurd. But look how that turned out!

That really doesnt matter anymore. He can do what he wants and the SCOTUS will do what it wants, and that's pretty much it. Whinging that he's skirting the rules, when the rules literally bend around him like light around a black hole, is just very silly.

So much evidence involved things he did as president, which the Supreme Court said can’t be used as evidence.

everything he did before becoming president helped him become president which retroactively makes it an official presidential act once he becomes president i mean we're already bringing back the monarchy let's bring back the divine right of kings too

USA ON CUSP OF TYRANNY
The Supreme Court's ruling that shields the President frm prosecution in office kindles abuse of power&erosion of democracy. Trump's return to the White House is worry for coups&death of constitutional democracy, rule of law&America's global leadership!

I thought the paybacks and falsified documents were in early 2017? The hush money and catch and kill were in 2016 but that was Cohen and AMI.

Actually most, if not all, of the counts were for reimbursement payments to Cohen made in 2017. The payoff to Daniels was indeed before Trump became president, but the falsification of business records came (largely?) after.

I assumed he would try and overturn the civil case for libel under the theory that any the courts can't question his assertion that they were official in scope. That would seems pretty straightforward and it would substitute the US as defendant and it would be dismissed on sov. immunity grounds.
