Gee, I *wonder* how this case will go? I'm sure #ErikPrince whispered in #ClarenceThomas's ear at #Oligarch camp!
Special counsel goes directly to #SupremeCourt to resolve whether #Trump has #immunity from #prosecution

"If the Supreme Court were to take up the case, the issue of presidential immunity would skip being decided by an appeals court. Trump’s team had asked the appeals court last week to examine Chutkan’s ruling and also asked asked Chutkan to suspend all trial dates in the meantime.
"The question about presidential protections that Trump hopes to use as part of his defense need to be settled before he goes to trial, which is scheduled for March.
“'Respondent’s appeal of the ruling rejecting his immunity and related claims, however, suspends the trial of the charges against him, scheduled to begin on March 4, 2024,' Smith’s team wrote. 'It is of imperative public importance that respondent’s claims of immunity be resolved by this Court and that respondent’s trial proceed as promptly as possible if his claim of immunity is rejected.'"
