A federal appeals court on Thursday ordered a lower court to take another look at whether President Donald Trump's criminal hush money prosecution in Manhattan deserved to be heard in federal court.

After Trump was convicted last year on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, he sought to move the case into federal court from state court due to the Supreme Court's landmark ruling last year granting the president immunity for official acts.

U.S. District Court Judge Alvin Hellerstein denied the request, concluding that Trump failed to show good cause for move after the jury had rendered its verdict.

On Thursday, a three-judge panel of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ordered Hellerstein to revisit his ruling.

1. There's something smelly in fishilvania...as usual with anything t-rump touches...

[Irish_Dem]

2. All of Trump's crimes, findings of guilt, punishment, fines will all be magically erased.

Soon all the videos and pictures of his crimes will magically disappear as well.

He will be St Donnie.
The most sainted one.

6. Only in his own demented mind where he's already pope.

!@#$%

[Irish_Dem]

7. Americans do that to some extent with all their presidents.

Clean up all their human errors and frailties.
And if they have committed crimes, those get overlooked.

But we shall see if St Donnie gets white and sane washed.
Or if he is held accountable.

We are not yet at the end of this insane movie we are watching/living.

8. You're so right. we are all playing our parts.

That's why I keep thinking of that great movie,
Marat-Sade.

[Irish_Dem]

9. One of the reasons we are here is to bear witness.

To watch, remember, tell the story when the time comes.

10. I suspect our younger people will have very long memories too.

As they should.

[Irish_Dem]

11. Yes but it will stick in their memories more when

the older tribal women speak the truth to them.

3. Still judge shopping

[onenote]

12. How is this judge shopping?

I don't like this result, but how is it judge shopping?
It was an appeal, assigned to a three judge panel made up of judges appointed by Obama and Biden. And they sent the case back to the judge that originally ruled against Trump.

4. Talk about a bullshit ruling from the 2nd US Circuit Court

There was nothing "Official" about it.

[onenote]

5. The panel issuing this decision was made up of two Obama judges and a Biden judge

13. Over "evidentiary immunity?" In a state case????

Our courts are a disaster.
