Former President Donald J. Trump has officially called on the U.S. Supreme Court to review his case claiming has fallen victim to a politically motivated prosecution in an attempt to stop his reelection campaign.
Now that Trump has been convicted of a crime that we’re still not sure what it was, he must appear in court on July 11th for sentencing by Judge Juan Merchan only four days before the Republican National Convention, which he could possibly be unable to attend if behind bars.
On Sunday, Trump posted to Truth Social a plea for a free and fair election and asked SCOTUS to restore faith in the justice system.
“The ‘Sentencing’ for not having done anything wrong will be, conveniently for the Fascists, 4 days before the Republican National Convention. A Radical Left Soros backed D.A., who ran on a platform of ‘I will get Trump,’ reporting to an ‘Acting’ Local Judge, appointed by the Democrats, who is HIGHLY CONFLICTED, will make a decision which will determine the future of our Nation? The United States Supreme Court MUST DECIDE!” Trump posted.
“Nobody even knew what the crime was until the Judge gave his Unconstitutional Instructions. A total Hoax! A case like this has NEVER been brought before. A Country in peril. Election Interference!!!” Trump claimed in an additional post.
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson also asked the Supreme Court to take the case immediately as an overwhelming majority of Americans believe that the trial was politically motivated.
“I do believe the Supreme Court should step in, obviously. This is totally unprecedented and it’s dangerous to our system, I mean we’ve all discussed this before and you all talk about it all the time,” Johnson said on Fox. “This is diminishing the American people’s faith in our system of justice itself, and to maintain a republic, you have to have that. People have to believe that justice is fair, that there’s equal justice under the law. They don’t see that right now.”
“I think that the Justices on the court – I know many of them personally – I think they are deeply concerned about that, as we are. So I think they’ll set this straight but it’s gonna take a while,” Johnson added. “The process takes a while to play you – the Democrats know that of course – and they’re dragging it out. That was the whole objective.”
“They want to try to bankrupt Donald Trump, they want to diminish his credibility and go after his character. They wanted to keep him off of the campaign trail which they were successful in doing for many weeks, and now they want to call him the convicted felon,” he said. “This will be overturned guys, there’s no question about it, it’s just gonna take some time to do it.”
Trump’s best option is for the Supreme Court to intervene, but the Democrats would go crazy.
