Even Fox News' Jonathan Turley Thinks Trump Lost Immunity Appeal
If you listened to or read about Donald Trump’s presidential immunity appeal on Tuesday, you know that it was pretty much a slam dunk for the prosecution. All three of the federal appeals court judges were openly skeptical and pretty obviously unpersuaded that he was immune from prosecution for anything he did while in office unless he had been impeached and convicted.
In case that’s not enough to persuade you that the hearing went badly for the wannabe dictator, Jonathan Turley’s opinion should. You know that if anything good happened for Trump in the hearing, legal propagandist Turley would have said so and made it front and center.
Instead, Turley resorted to throwing around a lot of bothsidesism in an effort to distract from Trump attorney D. John Sauer’s jaw-dropping argument that a president could order the assassination of a political rival and be immune from prosecution under certain circumstances.
