Judges will shoot down Trump immunity by 'sledgehammer or stiletto': Fox's Jonathan Turley

Raw Story  

Fox News legal pundit Jonathan Turley predicted former President Donald Trump would lose his claim that he can't be prosecuted for election crimes because of "presidential immunity." Turley made the remarks on Fox News Tuesday after a three-judge appeals panel heard immunity arguments about a federal election subversion case against Trump. "I think what was clear to me from the argument was that probably Trump's, this argument of impeachment first, prosecution later, is a dead letter with the panel," Turley explained of the theory that a president must be convicted by the Senate before being criminally charged. "I don't believe that the judges agreed that you needed a conviction to ever prosecute a president," the law professor said.
