Crime,Supreme Court

Might as well just appoint him emperor for life now.

In late May, Trump was found guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to cover up a payment made to porn star Stormy Daniels on the eve of the 2016 election.

Prosecutors did not object to the ask, and Merchan granted it Tuesday afternoon. You might be wondering to yourself how Trump could use Monday’s Supreme Court decision, which pertains to acts taken while holding the office of president, to nix a guilty conviction over a crime that took place before he had the actual job. Kinda seems like total bullshit, you might say. Luckily for Trump, though, his pals on the high court appear to have accounted for that.
