Missouri AG suing New York over “unconstitutional lawfare against President Trump”

[cnm]

Bailey’s ignorance of the law is exceeded only by his contempt for the rule of law.

More political theater from the dishonest right, lying about ‘lawfare’ and ‘restoring’ the rule of law.

I suppose people elected to such positions feel obliged to bolster their next campaign with performative politics.

Seems ludicrous from outside looking in.

That racist AG should be arrested.

As with all cases like this, it will likely be tossed due to the plaintiff's lack of legal standing.

Parenthetically, any reference to the "rule of law" in DEFENDING what was (and is being) done to President Trump in New York is stunningly ignorant. It was the bending, folding, and mutilation of the Rule of Law that allowed the case to go forward.

NOTE TO LEFTISTS: If an atrocity furthers your own political desires, it is still an atrocity.

 

[Man With A Plan]

‘Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey announced Thursday night that he plans to sue the state of New York in retaliation for Donald Trump’s criminal conviction. The conservative AG vowed to “restore the rule of law”—but not the ones that found Trump guilty, of course—and deemed Trump’s hush-money trial “unconstitutional lawfare.”

[…]

But it doesn’t seem like Bailey understands the law in New York at all, and it doesn’t look like he’s paid much attention to the details of Trump’s hush-money trial. According to Axios, Bailey is pursuing his lawsuit against New York on the basis that the statute of limitations for misdemeanor business records falsification expired in 2019.

There’s just two big hiccups with Bailey’s argument: Trump was indicted on 34 felony counts, not misdemeanors, and the statute of limitations for those felonies is five years after the start of criminal proceedings—not two like with misdemeanors. It’s also unclear where Bailey is getting 2019 as a statute of limitations from: The federal criminal proceedings against Trump kicked off in 2018 after an explosive Wall Street Journal story stated Trump’s former fixer Michael Cohen paid off Stormy Daniels in 2016. The FBI soon raided Cohen, who that same year pleaded guilty to giving hush-money payments to Daniels and another woman, claiming he did so on Trump’s behalf. State criminal proceedings based on Cohen’s testimony formally began in August 2019, four years before Trump was indicted and five years before he was convicted, all of which fall well within New York’s five-year statute of limitations.’

Missouri A.G. Wants to Sue New York Over Trump. There’s One Problem.

Andrew Bailey made one obvious error in his threat to sue New York over Donald Trump’s hush-money trial.

You on the left never fail to amuse...
You see the problem with "lawfare" is that once you start it? Your political opponents most likely ARE going to retaliate with more of the same! Joe Biden is literally the dumbest man on the planet for allowing those lawfare cases against Trump to go forward. Does he really not grasp that the same thing can and probably WILL be done to him?

Do you mean the one in New York that just dropped all the charges against the Hamas supporters?

If the Supreme Court rules against presidential immunity. Biden could be prosecuted for his open border. Liberals are too stupid that they are going to open a pandoras box. Just because of their hate for Trump.

What crime/offence code?

It's almost as though Trump is allowed to break the laws that apply to everyone no matter their rank. Well, unless the US is a dictatorship, of course.


Baffling.

There are little to no Hamas supporters in this country.

Try again.

Little to no Hamas supporters in this country? You need to try putting up some numbers to back up your claim born of your sense of entitlement.

One of his jobs is to protect our border and he has done whatever he could to make it wide open.

You're claiming that Trump is being treated like everyone else, CNM? Really? Show me another case where someone was convicted like Trump was in the Tish James case and fined that kind of money! Show me a case where zombie charges were filed against someone else like Alvin Bragg did with Trump! Show me a trial where the crime the charges were based on wasn't revealed until AFTER the defense had rested!
