Summary
The DC federal circuit court of appeals has unanimously ruled that Trump is not immune from prosecution for his January 6th crimes. In their opinion - the court pointed out the Constitution expressly states that presidents can be criminally prosecuted EVEN IF they're first impeached. The Constitution also imposes a duty upon presidents to "faithfully execute the laws" of our nation. In other words - the very language of the Constitution makes clear that presidents ARE NOT immune from prosecution for crimes they committed while in office.
Glenn discusses why the US Supreme Court has NO legitimate reason to accept Trump's immunity claim for review, which would have the effect of delaying Trump's trial, perhaps beyond the 2024 presidential election.

| 0:00.0 | It's time for Justice Matters with former federal prosecutor and MS NBC analyst, |
| 0:05.0 | Glenn Kircher. A DC appeals court has ruled unanimously that Donald Trump can be prosecuted for the crimes he committed while in office. |
| 0:22.0 | But Glenn says, we still have one more hurdle ahead of us. |
| 0:26.4 | So friends, we are this close to having Donald Trump's |
| 0:32.2 | federal prosecution in Washington, D.C. back on the trial track. |
| 0:37.0 | That's his case for trying to unlawfully and unconstitutionally overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election. |
| 0:48.1 | The trial has been on hold while Donald Trump made this asine claim, this unsupportable claim, that he's above the law, |
| 0:58.2 | beyond the reach of the courts or the criminal statutes, that he has absolute immunity against prosecution |
| 1:07.0 | meaning he can commit all the crimes he wants against the people of the |
| 1:12.0 | United States and he can't be held accountable. He can't be |
| 1:16.4 | prosecuted for it. Well, you know that the appeals court in DC unanimously just shut that down. |
| 1:25.0 | And we're this close to getting the trial back on track. |
| 1:29.0 | Now, it's up to the Supreme Court. |
| 1:32.0 | Let's talk about why the Supreme Court has absolutely no reason, |
| 1:38.0 | no legitimate reason, to grab hold of that case, accept it for review, and then make us all play the |
| 1:49.2 | waiting game for weeks, perhaps months before Donald Trump's case gets put back on the trial track. |
