Trump’s lawyers have only one audience, and forget that reality has a confirmation bias. George Conway reminds us how indeterminate the law can be, as Trump’s lawyers argue again for presidential immunity.
During his 2019 July 4th speech, President Donald Trump said American forces “took over the airports” during the US War of Independence in the late 18th century.
"During the 234 years from 1789 to 2023, no current or former President had ever been criminally prosecuted for official acts. That unbroken tradition died this year,” the former president’s lawyers wrote in the filing.
Conservative lawyer George Conway on Sunday zeroed in on that “unbroken tradition” claim, using the language of the brief to highlight what sparked such an unprecedented reaction from the U.S. criminal justice system.
“During the 231 years from 1789 to 2020, no current or former President had ever telephoned officials in multiple states in an attempt to fraudulently alter presidential election results. That unbroken tradition died that year,” Conway wrote.
