Former President Donald Trump's Supreme Court immunity Hail Mary could blow up in his face and — force him to be tried before Election Day. That's the read by conservative attorney and Trump critic George Conway, who appeared Friday night on CNN's "The Source with Kaitlan Collins.""When the case first went up to the [D.C.] Court of Appeals there were 81 days before trial," Conway said. "And the Court has said, basically the District Court said that it's going to keep that 81 day schedule; and if you add 81 days to the end of June — you basically you're in the heat the middle of the fall campaign. "So it could actually backfire on Trump."This is possible Conway maintains, despite the lengthy time that is ticking away for the nine justices to render a ruling on whether the former president was insulated from prosecution after being indicted for allegedly inciting mobs of supporters to riot at the Capitol back on Jan. 6, 2021, or littering White House banker boxes filled with classified documents around his Mar-a-Lago club and obstructing their return to the feds.For Conway, the Supreme Court would have done better leaving the three-judge panel D.C. Court of Appeals' decision to stand. "I wish they had not taken the case," he said. Notably, in February, the court rejected Trump's "presidential immunity" claim.“We cannot accept former President Trump’s claim that a President has unbounded authority to commit crimes…Nor can we sanction his apparent contention that the Executive has carte blanche to violate the rights of individual citizens to vote and to have their votes count," the ruling says in the 3-0 decision.And before they weighed in, U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who is presiding over Trump's Jan. 6 subversion trial in Washington federal court, stated that the former president wasn't entitled to absolute immunity, noting his “four-year service as Commander in Chief did not bestow on him the divine right of kings to evade the criminal accountability that governs his fellow citizens.”Watch the clip below or at this link.
