Trump/January 6 indictment

This blog post discusses Politico senior writer Ankush Khardori's response to the Supreme Court's ruling on presidential immunity, which he believes unfairly benefits Donald Trump. Khardori, known for his strong anti-Trump stance, argues that the July 1 ruling on presidency immunity has rewritten the constitution. He calls for an urgent acceleration of the J6 trial to hinder Trump's potential…

While CBS and NBC were far more balanced in perspectives and even behaved on Monday morning when it came to Special Reports on the Supreme Court’s Trump immunity case, it was not the case on Disney-run ABC as they kvetched over what they said was an “absolute”, “big”, and “total” win for Trump that was “hard to square” with the Constitution as we know it.

On Monday, MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace, host of Deadline: White House, interviewed Democratic Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi (CA) after bombshell never-before-seen footage from her daughter’s January 6 documentary was released. But while the video showed Pelosi in the back a vehicle taking “responsibility” for the Capitol’s security, the intent of the interview was to let her dodge that…

Tonight’s ABC and CBS evening newscasts aired reports in furtherance of the ongoing campaign to pressure a sitting Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, Samuel Alito, into recusing himself from upcoming opinions that have a direct effect on the ongoing federal prosecutions against former President Donald Trump.

ABC This Week host George Stephanopoulos closes out his interviews of Republicans with a unique bit of sanctimony- the question of whether they’d support former President Donald Trump in the event of a conviction in one of the myriad indictments against him. And it is one of the loudest Trump opponents in this primary cycle who finally took that question and threw it back in…

In the wake of its Ronna McDaniel fiasco, NBC News tries extra hard to prove just how “cohesive and aligned” they really are. Unfortunately, this now means “cohesive and aligned” with the fringe elements running the show at MSNBC and, by extension, the entire news operation.

CNN's legal analyst Elie Honig claims Jack Smith in violation of DOJ election policy on timing of cases. 

For the men of Thursday’s late night comedy shows, if the “MAGA justices” on the Supreme Court hand Donald Trump a victory by announcing they will hear arguments on his claim to have presidential immunity, it is “terrible news for democracy” because, for them, only when a court rules against Trump is it legitimate. They simply “cannot [bleep] believe” any other version of events.

Late Wednesday afternoon, the Supreme Court announced they’d hear the case on presidential immunity as it relates to Special Counsel Jack Smith’s January 6 criminal case against former President Trump. Naturally, this decision left the liberal media — including ABC and NBC on Wednesday night and Thursday morning — enraged this could further delay what they hope leads to Trump’s imprisonment.…

MSNBC’s Chris Hayes journeyed over to CBS and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Wednesday to react to the news that the Supreme Court has decided to hear Donald Trump’s argument that he has presidential immunity and therefore cannot be tried in the classified documents and January 6-related cases on an expedited schedule. However, that was not good enough for Hayes, as he told the…

Much of the evening’s prime-time cable news content was centered around the Supreme Court’s decision to hear the Trump appeal on presidential immunity, after the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals said he had none. The tone has generally been one of tooth-gnashing and wailing over the timing of the hearing date, April 22nd. Among the left wing commentariat, writer and MSNBC guest Elie Mystal…

New York magazine's Ankush Khardori wrote a detailed fantasized account of Donald Trump's potential imprisonment, suggesting the ex-President could serve his time in Pensacola, Florida—the minimum-security facility is near Trump’s legal residence, Mar-a-Lago. Khardori’s speculation extended to a graphic detailing the prison's buildings and proposed daily activities for Trump. His 3,…

Trump lost an appeal on Tuesday on his claim of presidential immunity against prosecution by special counsel Jack Smith. But Washington Post columnist Ruth Marcus let the cat out of bag on their hopes for lawfare to ruin Trump's campaign. Her column was headlined "Slowpoke federal appeals court puts 2024 election in jeopardy." For whom?

Jordan Rubin, MSNBC legal blogger, Politico reporters Kyle Cheney and Josh Gerstein have expressed frustration over the delay in an immunity appeal that threatens to push the start of the trial against Donald Trump past election day. The trial relates to charges against Trump for allegedly trying to subvert the 2020 election. While most legal experts expect the courts to ultimately reject…
