CNN's Jeffrey Toobin and Elie Honig give their predictions on how the case might turn out.

    1. America first.It​ is the champion of coronavirus.Can we call it US virus,or FAKE US FLU?No test,no case.Millions of tests,millions of cases.USA government won’t tell those idiots that the virus had already been leaked by USA Army Fort Detrick bio lab in Sep 2019.
      USA got A,B,C,D,E 5 kinds of coronaviruses.Only C type was found in China.Who created the monster?

    1. @Jim Kirby IRS has and should have the power to investigate peoples taxes, one of the main reasons America is in the financial mess it is today is because certain companies and individuals dont pay their fair share of taxes

    2. E.J. Wyllie what? It’s not even 2024 you fucking moron! Oh it’s just like saying yes 2052 in the Trump administration!Oh yes Little Miss pretty princess has decided that everyone has to pay taxes except for the 1% just like her daddy

    3. @Jim Kirby i have no problem with the IRS auditing me i pay the taxes im expected to pay and have nothing to fear,
      If your truthful about your taxes then you should have no fear of scrutiny

    4. @fallen alpha First of all it’s you’re .Second I double dare you lad to look up anything and stop listening to your cultist dear leaders .Have you done even a basic Google or wiki search ? Cuz it seems pretty stupid to even argue with you as you don’t strike me as the educated or informed type .And tell me again how it’s Obama’s or anybody else’s besides Trump’s parents fault that trump went and stole land to disrespect on ?

    5. @Ron F I dunno.. just for argument sake isn’t that a lot like “if your innocent then you have nothing to hide” kinda thing..

  1. Truths about Trump:
    The “billionaire” who hides his tax returns.
    The “genius” who hides his college grades.
    The “businessman” who bankrupted 3 casinos and lost over $1B in 10 years.
    The “playboy” who pays for sex.
    The “Christian” who doesn’t go to church.
    The “philanthropist” who defrauds charity.
    The “patriot” who dodged the draft. And attacks dead Veterans and their widows.
    The “innocent man” who refuses to testify.
    Trump Translator:
    “Many People have told me” = Voices in my head and fictional people have complimented me
    “A lot of people don’t know” = I just learned something most people already knew
    “Believe me” = I just lied
    “In Fact” = I’m about to lie
    “He’s a great guy” = I will deny ever knowing this person after they begin to tell the truth about me
    “MAGA” = Making my pockets fatter off the American tax payers
    “Nobody knew” = Everyone knew except me
    “Huge” = moderate to below average in size
    “Loser” = someone who makes me feel inferior due to their talent or accomplishments
    “Policy Briefing” = Turning on Fox News
    “Liar” = Someone telling the truth about me
    “Fake News” = Real news

    1. @Raptor Pope or declare war to another world power, cancel elections and, remove whatever and little checks and balances still remain.

    2. Let’s be realistic. Why was his financial records made public? Was it to meet a criteria for an election? NO!!! It was because of biased politicians in NY who wanted to take down the president at any cost. I still think we should look into Hillary’s finances ESPECIALLY SINCE WE KNOW NOW ACCORDING TO JOHN PODESTA that HALF of the RUSSIAN DOSSIER WAS FINANCED BY HER and the other half by the DNC….

    3. @Joy Phillips Can’t you stupid Trump worshiping minions see that he is trying to destroy democracy, who cares about the opposing party

  2. It’s simple: The President is a public servant, and therefore fully accountable to the public.

    3. @honkster 7 – *Barack Obama: Narcissist, Charlatan, Con-Artist, Socialist, Economic Failure, Failed Insurance Salesman, Grossly Underqualified, and the Bernie Madoff of Presidents*

  3. If they give him immunity, this will be the single greatest failure of American ideals of truth and justice.

    1. I lost count of how many times the current administration has perpetrated what you’ve just mentioned.

  4. Only the rich get to do whatever they want the rest of us have to suffer.
    Trump said he’d release his tax returns. But of course he lied, as usual.

  5. Trying to hide his nefarious business dealings along the money laundering russian money

  6. Combined with the “Dershowitz Doctrine” from the impeachment, if he wins this one, we have a dictatorship. If he does anything that, in HIS OPINION, is in the best interest of the country, it’s OK and there will be no investigations. This is just as frightening as Covid 19 or worse.

    1. dictatorship😄😄😄 we have a congress who must witness one of the biggest FBI conspiracyis and they go..so we don’t care….trump and his sexual assault..kavanaugh and rape..yet Pelosi own words for biden were..he said he didn’t do it so let’s move on…and you wonder why we call you ppl sheep

  7. “Temporary immunity” – which lasts for the duration of the term? If granted, this would mean any President would be above the law for his/her term in office. How dangerous would that be!

  8. Inmunity? So he’s admmiting guilt? He’s trying to cover up his crimes and use the rule of law to basically be a dictator

    1. Yep I called it from day one because of his personality and stories about him before being POTUS!

    1. nancy fralick , well if he goes back to golf then he takes $10 billion a day away from us taxpayers which could go to PPE’sOr I could go to healthcare or it could go to every American citizen struggling to live day today! I don’t know which Is the lesser of two evils

    1. Let’s be realistic. Why was his financial records made public? Was it to meet a criteria for an election? NO!!! It was because of biased politicians in NY who wanted to take down the president at any cost. I still think we should look into Hillary’s finances ESPECIALLY SINCE WE KNOW NOW ACCORDING TO JOHN PODESTA that HALF of the RUSSIAN DOSSIER WAS FINANCED BY HER and the other half by the DNC….

  9. Trump: Temporary presidential immunity

    Danny Glover: Your immunity has just been revoked

    1. That’s Justice Danny Glover: “I’ve only got another 322 days left on the job…then my ticker gives out….and I’m stuck on this toilet, Riggs!”
