The stalled criminal case against Donald Trump for seeking to subvert the 2020 election is starting to move.The Supreme Court’s landmark ruling on presidential immunity — a breathtaking legal victory for Trump’s bid to sideline his criminal prosecutions — had kept the election-subversion case on ice for months. Even after the July 1 ruling, the high court’s rules required a one-month delay to give prosecutors the chance to ask the justices to reconsider the outcome.

Trumps ven. Style coup will get punished.

This is America and we don't stand for coups
