Alito: "If the president gets advice from the attorney general, that something is lawful, is that an absolute defense?"
Dreeben: “yes”
Alito: “Wouldn’t the President just pick an AG who’ll let him do… pic.twitter.com/T2L7u29nZU

People are trying to arrest a politician for fricking a hooker. Which he probably did, but its kind of like he who is without sin cast the first stone

Isnt the crux of the issue whether he used campaign funds to shut the hooker up?

Which, is still something poticians do. But really its about if paying off a hooker is a reportable campaign expense. Not where he paid from

Paying hush money for something that would hurt your campaign seems like a a reasonable campaign expense.

If they're going to try and convict "politicians who slept around while in office, out of office, and between being in office", they'll need to build three new jails, one with a wing just for Bill Clinton alone. Anthony Weiner is gonna need his own separate jail.

Rich guy had s*x with porn star, then arranges pay-off for her to keep her mouth shut. Because she's a whore, of course she can't keep it shut and tries extorting more money out of him by going public during his first presidential campaign. Now politically-motivated New York prosecutor is taking a case against him, not for paying off the hooker, but for paying her off from the wrong slush fund. Apparently this should have been a campaign expense not a private expense. Yeah, it makes no sense to me either, but it's got nothing to do with "breaking the law" and all to do with "you're in the wrong political party and we're going to stop you running against our guy by hook or by crook".

My shitlib friends were all over it recently (I think Donnie's is currently in hearings over it?) and they were saying he's accused of fraud. Is it actually fraud? You got any heckin' SOURCES?

Pretty sure thats a different case, that's the NY trial that just started. The SCOTUS isn't involved in that, this is from the Biden Justice Dept trying to charge him with Jan 6th election interference shit.

The other replies are r-slurred and wrong. This isn't the hooker case this is about the January 6th one. Specifically how far does presidential immunity go, which would also effect the Florida, Georgia, and New York cases as well.
