CNN’s Abby Phillip tried to record each single weak excuse that Trump has given as a protection for courtroom circumstances that he’s going through.
Philip mentioned:
Raindrops on roses. Whiskers on kittens, immunity on murders. Donald Trump lists just a few of his favourite explanation why he’s not a legal at this level. Trump is a collector of defenses. Like some individuals accumulate Pokemon, however there’s nearly an excessive amount of to rely at this level.
And belief us, we tried, he says he’s immune. Presidents can’t impede justice. He’s, he’s his intent wasn’t corrupt. The case is shifting too quick or shifting too sluggish. It’s an unfair venue. The decide is biased and so are the clerks the juries too. He’s by no means met her. He doesn’t know her. He’s, she’s not his kind. It was his private account, political persecution, witch hunt. Good cellphone name. The deep state. It wasn’t an rebellion. He wasn’t notified that it was against the law. His attorneys suggested him double jeopardy. The speech was peaceable. The scholars weren’t defrauded the Presidential Information Act. He was too busy. They have been his paperwork. They’re declassified. They aren’t even categorised in any respect. The First Modification and the Fourth, fifth, sixth, and tenth Amendments too.

The record is brutal as a result of there isn’t a severe or credible authorized justification for Trump’s conduct. It seems that Phillip and her crew tried to rely Trump’s excuses in each civil and legal circumstances as a result of among the excuses are ones that Trump has been utilizing within the E. Jean Carroll lawsuits.
When the entire excuses are put collectively for viewing in a single place, what stands out is the weak point of all of them.
It doesn’t matter what the case, Trump appears unable to current a legitimate protection, and his lack of a reputable protection has by no means stood out greater than when all of his excuses are listed collectively.
