Elie Mystal Dismantles Former Trump Lawyer's Ridiculous Argument
The Nation's Elie Mystal dished a dose of sanity when former Trump lawyer Tim Parlatore tried to pretend the Supreme Court wasn't already fully aware of the urgency to have Trump's immunity case settled unless Jack Smith spelled it out for them. Mystal made an appearance on CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip this Thursday, and was asked about his statement that he believed the right-wing justices on the Supreme Court are hoping for Trump to win.
"Because they're doing everything they can to delay his reckoning so that he has an opportunity to reinstall himself as president of the United States," Mystal responded. "Looking at the Supreme Court's own history, we see that when they want to move fast, they move extremely fast."
"They heard the Colorado immunity case within 51 days of that decision being entered in against Trump. Why? Because it didn't help Trump. Now, with the immunity case in D.C., we see that it's going to take them at least 130 days before they even think about hearing the case. Why? Because in that situation, delay helps Trump."
