Let's take a look at the suits Trump will not have immunity against. He has the "best lawyers". Trump misses Supreme Court deadline to fight civil immunity from Jan. 6 lawsuits https://lawandcrime.com/high-profil...-to-fight-civil-immunity-from-jan-6-lawsuits/ After missing a deadline to file at the U.S. Supreme Court, Donald Trump has formally left himself exposed to civil liability lawsuits from people who wish to hold him personally accountable for his role in the violent breach of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. The agreed-upon Feb. 15 deadline for Trump to file a writ of certiorari at the high court came and went without a word from Trump’s defense team last week, though a spokesman for the former president said he would continue to fight for “presidential immunity” on all fronts, NBC reported. The civil immunity issue is different from the criminal immunity issue Trump has now escalated on appeal to the Supreme Court as he attempts to dismiss his indictment in Washington, D.C., alleging he criminally conspired to overturn the results of the 2020 election. Trump and special counsel Jack Smith are now in a holding pattern as they await to see what the justices will do next. This new legal vulnerability for Trump opened wide as he and his attorneys were in the thick of it last week: he was ordered to pay $355 million in New York for his fraudulent business practices; his March 25 hush-money trial date in Manhattan was locked in; and in Florida, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon rejected his latest attempt to delay a deadline for pretrial motions. A tentative trial date in the classified documents case is set for May 20. Civil liability involving Trump and his alleged actions on Jan. 6 have been ongoing since early 2021 and came to a head late last year. On Dec. 1, judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals ruled against Trump in a case brought by Capitol Police Officers James Blassingame and Sidney Hemby, as well as lawmakers including Reps. Eric Swalwell, D-Calif., and Bennie Thompson, D-Miss., the former chairman of the now defunct House Select Committee to Investigate the Jan. 6 Attack on the U.S. Capitol. The lawsuits sought to hold Trump civilly liable for the destruction wrought on Jan. 6 and the direct impact it had on their lives. The police officers in particular sought roughly $75,000 apiece in damages. The allegations were first made formally in March 2021 and centered on the accusation that Trump’s pervasive and false claims of so-called “voter fraud” ahead of Jan. 6 culminated in the deadly breach of the U.S. Capitol. Those events have spurred emotional and physical injuries as well as suicides, the plaintiffs argued. The appeals court ruled in their favor, finding that the propagation of Trump’s disinformation was not part of Trump’s “official duties.” The appeals court ruled similarly a second time, finding that an August 2021 lawsuit brought by U.S. Capitol Police officer Conrad Smith and several police-officer co-plaintiffs was “indistinguishable” from the earlier one. In sum, the court found Trump was acting as a candidate on the stump, not a president. As the civil cases progress, Trump will still have the ability to argue immunity as part of his own defense. An attorney for Trump did not immediately return a request for comment to Law&Crime on Monday.
The Supreme Court agreed to decide whether Donald Trump is immune from prosecution on charges of plotting to overturn the 2020 election. The justices scheduled arguments for the week of April 22 and said proceedings in the trial court would remain frozen while they considered the matter.

The US Supreme Court just decided to take up President Donald Trump's appeal over the ruling of the lower judge and the appellate court. Now, it is time for the US Supreme Court to issue a ruling a US President's immunity. This needs to happen and for the US Supreme Court to rule against these abusive judges of the lower courts.
GXB, Civil immunity for presidents has already been decided by SCOTUS. There was no need for Trump to appeal for that. Please pay attention.
Trump already waived "Presidential Immunity" in his New York Stormy Daniels hush money criminal trial. His demand to delay the hush money trial until the U.S. Supreme Court rules on his immunity claims is not going to go very well. 'Round and round we go': Analysts say Trump waived presidential immunity in N.Y. trial https://www.rawstory.com/trump-hush-money-immunity-claim/ Former President Donald Trump on Monday sought to delay the New York election interference trial, which deals with the hush money payment to Stormy Daniels, by claiming "presidential immunity." But legal analysts on social media after the filing pointed out Trump has already waived his right to claim such protection. "Trump is trying to avoid going to trial in Manhattan on 3/25, trying to tie the case up in a presidential immunity argument," said former prosecutor Joyce Vance, who now teaches at the University of Alabama Law School. "But none of the conduct here involves the presidency; it's about the campaign and his private business. And in any event, Trump waived immunity as Judge [Alvin] Hellerstein found in an opinion last July that Trump dismissed his appeal on. Here's the July order from Judge Hellerstein noting Trump waived presidential immunity. Although Trump initially appealed, he subsequently dismissed that appeal." Norm Eisen, who served as Democratic counsel during the first attempt to impeach Trump, agreed with Vance's assessment, quoting Hellerstein. Trump "has expressly waived any argument premised on a theory of absolute presidential immunity," he wrote. "Only one problem, he already tried & lost & he’s collaterally estopped," explained Eisen in a thread. "It won't work." "As a reminder, Hellerstein found that immunity does NOT apply because the alleged campaign corruption and cover-up were purely personal and political. It had nothing to do with Trump’s official duties — this is an even bigger stretch than what is happening in the federal Jack Smith case. The claim is absurd." Trump makes another claim at the end of the brief, Eisen pointed out. Trump says that there might be evidence in the case that should be kept out. "First," continues Eisen, "that’s no reason to delay the case; the judge can make those evidentiary rulings one by one. Second, the fact that Trump previously waived absolute immunity may affect or waive some of those determinations. Third, some of these arguments about how personal or political public communications are supposedly rendered inadmissible are, again, just absurd This case can be proven without getting into official acts." Unlike in the federal documents case, there were no national security implications in the hush money payments to the woman with whom he had an extra-marital affair. "Round and round we go," replied National Public Radio justice reporter Carrie Johnson. "Trump now arguing that a cover-up and fraud of election interference he conducts with his private business is an official act of the President," quipped national security expert Marcy Wheeler.
The main thing we need right now, for the good of all Americans is to get these cases delayed, dropped or appealed and reversed. It's important for the sake of the country to get Trump back in office and correct America's wayward course.
it is important for the future of this planet to put stinky trump and many other morons in prison for the rest of their life
