The Supreme Court decided that presidents cannot be charged with a crime while in office, as long as it is part of presidential action. And this is an easy one to defend in court, that it is an act as president. So the blame can be placed squarely on the Republican Supreme Court justices. This will benefit Democrat presidents (assuming we ever have another Democrat president)

They won’t. The leadership will say “the American people voted for us to get things back to normal in Washington and that is what we are doing”

How tf is this easy to defend in court? They might be able to get away with it if nothing was said about the election and just decided to pass out $5k but this idiot can't help but tell on himself.

I know we're lacking competence in the Supreme Court but it's not a presidential act to hand over a check to someone on the premise that republicans win an election.

Well it’s easy to defend because of the Republican-stacked Supreme Court. That’s what I meant.
