"Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) predicted Sunday that the Supreme Court will send former President Trump’s immunity case back to the lower courts.
"“Well, I think the court’s gonna find that presidential immunity exists for President Trump like every other president, but you got to be within the scope of being president. I think they’ll send it back to the lower courts to find out exactly what actions fall within presidential immunity and what are considered personal. I think that’s the way this will end — there will be some immunity for some of the actions,” Graham said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
"The Supreme Court heard arguments last week over whether Trump could have presidential immunity from criminal prosecution in the federal Jan. 6 case brought by special counsel Jack Smith. The high court appeared open to some presidential immunity for the former president, which could potentially delay the criminal cases brought against him even further.
"Graham said the question of immunity may be “decided partially” for the former president.
“ 'There’s no absolute immunity in the Constitution. It will be a legal analysis, you know, the president needs to be protected. You know, we don’t become a banana republic here. We prosecute, you know, our political opponents, which is going on really in many jurisdictions,” he said. “But I think the immunity question will be decided partially for Trump and some legal, some factual analysis as to when and where it applies.” . . .

"When the establishment finally regained power by beating Trump in 2020, they began criminally prosecuting him for his acts in office, timed to come to a head just before the next election where he hopes to reclaim that office.
"One of those prosecutions is a joke, namely the Manhattan Project where a stupid political hack of a District Attorney hopes to gloriously nuke Trump’s campaign with a criminal charge that is as bogus as it is convoluted (which may well produce a jury conviction in ultra-Blue Manhattan, but will surely be overturned on appeal)" . . .
