Judge Chutkan is one of the few people willing to treat Trump like he deserves to be treated
Legal expert says Trump is in trouble after ruling that he's not a 'king'
FTA: In her retort to former President Donald Trump’s motion to dismiss his election interference charges on grounds of presidential immunity, Judge Tanya Chutkan denied in her Friday filing that his four years as leader of the free world didn’t entitle him to “divine right of kings to evade the criminal accountability that governs his fellow citizens."
... Chutkan added that “former Presidents enjoy no special conditions on their federal criminal liability.”
Her rebuke comes hours after a federal appeals court decided that Trump doesn't have immunity from multiple lawsuits related to his actions on Jan. 6, 2021, leading up to the Capitol Building riot. [emphasis mine]
Holy shit. Is the USA finally coming to its senses? Or at least part of us? The media still need to learn to stop treating Trump as though he's normal, safe, or sane.
