I guess he technically could claim he was defending the constitution by arresting a domestic terrorist, refuse to turn over any evidence and claim presumptive innocence.

I imagine the SC would reverse their decision very quickly and Biden would be impeached within 23 hours though.
Yeah, but if his security service in meantime kills the SC GOP judges, that is fine, then the decision cannot be overturned as long as the Democrat judges do not vote to overturn it. And then, if the army under his orders nuke the congress, the congress cannot impeach Biden.

I mean, the orders might get refused, and it might cause a civil war, but there wouldn't be a mechanism to prosecute Biden.

Actually, considering that he is dead in another couple of years anyway, he should try it just for shit and giggles. Might get impeached (and potentially removed), probably the orders will be refused and then Kamala might invoke the 25th amendment, but who knows, it might all succeed.

Trump sentencing in hush-money case delayed until September

A New York judge has delayed Donald Trump’s sentencing until September as his lawyers seek to challenge his conviction after a Supreme Court ruling.

Trump was initially scheduled to be sentenced on 11 July.

His legal team asked for his conviction to be overturned after the nation’s highest court ruled that former presidents had partial immunity for “official” acts during their presidency.

Justice Juan Merchan said on Tuesday that he would issue a decision on the motions by 6 September.

If sentencing is necessary, the judge wrote, it will take place on 18 September.

In May, a New York jury found Trump guilty of 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, making him the first former president ever convicted of a felony.

Prosecutors said Trump had reimbursed his fixer, Michael Cohen, for hush money paid to an adult film star, who claimed she had an affair with Trump. The money, paid on the eve of the 2016 election, was covered up by falsely labeling it as a legal expenses.

It is the first of Trump's four criminal cases to go to trial.

On Monday, the Supreme Court released a bombshell ruling that found Trump - and other former presidents - had immunity from prosecution for "official acts".

The challenge arose from a federal criminal case against Trump, who is accused of trying to overturn results of the 2020 election, but it could have ripple effects in several of his legal battles.

Seeking to leverage this legal victory, Trump's lawyers in the New York case quickly sought to overturn the May conviction.

They said the Supreme Court case is relevant here, because Trump reimbursed Cohen during his first year in the White House, and prosecutors had argued he signed checks to the fixer from the Oval Office itself.

The Manhattan District Attorney's Office, which prosecuted Trump, responded that Trump's argument was "without merit" but asked for a deadline of 24 July to file a response.

This document has been publicly available since 2016, she disappeared and case was dropped at the same time the national enquirer was on its "catch & kill" campaign.
Her video testimony is still on youtube:

An odd one that it's never been talked about more. Guess most assume it to be a political smear campaign since it was dropped. Given what we know about Trump, his best mate Mr. Epstein and just how she describes his behaviour and mannerisms though...
