The Richmond, Virginia-based 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a set of decisions instructing a lower court judge to dismiss the lawsuit filed against the Republican president in June 2017 by the Democratic attorneys general of Maryland and the District of Columbia.
The court said the attorneys general lacked legal standing to bring the case.
A spokesman for D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
“Today’s pair of decisions by the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals is a complete victory,” Jay Sekulow, a lawyer for Trump, said in a statement. “This latest effort at presidential harassment has been dismissed with prejudice.”
Was US SEC OF Labor ACOSTA involved w emoluments? He was involved w the light sentence Jeff Epshtein got for sex trafficing minor girls in FL.
Our judical system is completely corrupt. All you have to do is find the right so called “judge” and you can then harass whoever you want. Thank god there is at least an appeal system. but till you get to that point its insane.
And prosecutors are even worse. Its all about career advancement and themselves. The law is rubbish. Anyone with complex dealings can be found guilty by a gottcha law. Its about overzealous prosecutors. Point in hand, the Epstien case. Why wasn’t the sicko charged over the last 10 years? What happened now that they woke up? Should I tell you what happened? Jeffery supported trump and his buddy Alex Acosta is a secretary in the WH for trump. So the sick crime doesn’t matter but once you work for Trump or support him then it all matters? And oursystem is not rotten to the core?
The dems can suck it
If state attorneys general don’t have “standing” to ask courts to enforce the Constitution, then who does?
