About this listen

Former DOJ prosecutor Alex Grant explains what traditional media sources totally missed about the Supreme Court's decision to take Trump's presidential immunity appeal. He explains that there is another pending Supreme Court appeal that was already holding up the trial in the January 6 case. Alex discusses the work that the Supreme Court is going to have to do to distinguish a 1982 case, Nixon v Fitzgerald, that extended absolute presidential immunity from civil lawsuits. Finally, he talks about how the special counsel's prior tactical decisions made the Supreme Court's decision to accept the appeal virtually a foregone conclusion.
