    No he didn’t.

    “They’re going to get on the bandwagon,” Dershowitz said of prosecutors. The “approach is to get him before the election, convict him before the election, and he wins on appeal.”

    “They’re all going to raise it,” said Eric Segall, a law professor at Georgia State University. “Trump is going to argue that he and all his merry people were simply ensuring the integrity and fairness of federal elections, something they had an obligation to do, and therefore he has immunity.”

    Segall said the laws protecting federal officials from state prosecution serve an important purpose. Consider, for instance, federal officials working to desegregate the South during the civil rights era being thrown in jail by state officials opposed to those efforts. But Segall stressed that he doesn’t believe the facts of Trump’s intervention will warrant immunity.

    He saying that’s their approach. Ultimately might come down to the Supreme Court which hasn’t favored Trump and similar cases so far.

      Trump wins on appeal. That means in wins in court. Do you think appeals is not a court ?

      I don’t see SCOTUS defending Trump. They’ve yet to intervene for him and I only see them stepping in this time. Most likely this will be ruled at a lower court

              And he wins on appeal. What part do you think is incorrect about what I said?

              Do you think appeals courts are not courts ?

                  He said exactly what I said. SMH.

                  What do you think is different ? Use your words.

                    This is what he said correct?
