‘The Constitutional Implications Are Massive’: CNN Analyst Claims Trump ‘Delaying Justice’ With Immunity Case

CNN political analyst John Avlon claimed Thursday that former President Donald Trump was “delaying justice” via his claims of immunity.

The Supreme Court asked Trump’s lawyers to respond to a request by special counsel Jack Smith to review an appeal of a district court ruling by judge Tanya Chutkan that rejected a motion by Trump’s attorneys to dismiss the charges Monday. The high court also agreed to hear a case surrounding the obstruction statute Smith charged Trump with violating.

“The moral implications, the constitutional implications are massive for our country. Because as you pointed out, you know, without accountability, an attempt to overturn an election, a slow motion coup is just practice,” Avlon told “CNN News Central” host John Berman. “It’s a green light, if there’s no accountability for this. And the implications down the line are striking, right? If the Supreme Court or a court should say that the president’s not criminally liable for anything he did when in office, well that’s a green light for authoritarian action for people when they’re president. They’re officially and permanently above the law, not just simply because of an Office of Legal Counsel opinion.”

WATCH:

Hundreds of people stormed the Capitol building during the certification of the electoral votes on Jan. 6, 2021. A Capitol Police officer shot and killed one of those who stormed the building. Over 1,000 people have been arrested for charges connected to the riot, according to Time.

Avlon claimed Attorney General Merrick Garland allowed the process to be delayed.

“I think Merrick Garland was motivated by desire to seem above politics, right, to try to not see the Justice Department perceived as being politicized, which it had been under Donald Trump,” Avlon said. “I think the difficulty now is that time is finite, and delay can be denial, and that’s what Donald Trump is — is predicated upon with his army of lawyers.”

Conservatives have accused the Justice Department of becoming politicized, citing the multiple indictments of former President Donald Trump, arrests of pro-life advocates and the FBI being sicced on parents protesting at school board meetings.

“I’m remembered of something truly chilling that Peter Thiel once said, which is, single digit millionaires can’t avail themselves of the legal system,” Avlon continued. “If very rich people could get a phalanx of lawyers to keep delaying justice and if they’re running for president perhaps evade it forever.”

Trump did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Daily Caller News Foundation.

  3. Is this a joke? “I think Merrick Garland was motivated by desire to seem above politics, right, to try to not see the Justice Department perceived as being politicized, which it had been under Donald Trump,” The DOJ wouldn’t even take up the cases of voter fraud when Trump was President. The DOJ is politicized and corrupt under Biden. J6 was a setup and not an insurrection. Trump had nothing to do with the riot and incursion into the capitol. He asked for a peaceful protest and NG help if things got out of hand. This who article is ridiculous. http://www.mtnavarre.com/politics

  6. Has anyone ever read the socialist and communist play book? Control the bureaus, control the media, accuse your adversary of exactly what you are doing and keep a straight face. Use the bureaus to arrest your adversaries to keep them from exposing the truth, and if possible send them to prison guilty or not. Overthrow from within!

    This is the AmeriKa of today. Bureaus lying, being used as weapons against honest and law abiding citizens and politicians. Bureaus protecting a criminal dynasty that is in office today, right down to the son. If Hunter was your son, or mine, we would both have been in federal prison for 30 or more years. Because they are part of a Biden Dynasty and because BIG BUSINESS, and INTERNATIONAL Billionaires support the them and the left, they will NEVER allow BIDEN who has made them TRILLIONS in the last three years to be in prison. The sad part is that too many people believe that the Democrat party is for the little man. Makes me laugh so hard I cry when I think how many FOOLS there are in the world.
