RE:Justice coming for TrumpYup, it is going to be fun times in the courts for Humpy Dumpy Trumpy;
From allegations of tax evasion to potential charges arising out of the Mueller investigation into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election, the outgoing president and his legal team can expect to spend some time in court.
Estimates of the number of cases vary, with some experts suggesting that there could be more than a dozen.
That’s not to say that Trump fully evaded scrutiny while in office.
Throughout his presidency, Trump has unsuccessfully fought tooth and nail to avoid the public release of his tax returns, with the Supreme Court rejecting his argument that he has immunity due to his office.
The Mueller report, published after a federal probe into whether Russia interfered in the 2016 election, was also fraught with delays and obstructions by the president and his attorneys to prevent interviews being conducted and testimonies coming to light. The final report listed 10 incidents in which the president may have obstructed justice. Mueller, in the end, cited the Justice Department’s long-standing policy that a sitting president cannot be prosecuted for criminal offences when investigators decided not to determine whether Trump interfered in the investigation.
However, the immunity is only for actions taken by Trump while he is in office and “it stops there,” David Weinstein, a former Florida federal prosecutor told USA Today .
“The short answer is that once he leaves the office, his cloak of immunity, actual or implied by (Justice Department guidelines), will disappear.”
