In summary: Trump says "I didn't subvert any election because, for one, as President I have immunity from such charges. You can't charge me with trying to overturn anything while I was President." Prosecutor Jack Smith says "No you're not, you're still responsible for those crimes." Trump said "Oh yeah? Let's ask the SCOTUS."

Instead of dismissing Trump's claims, SCOTUS actually agreed to hear his arguments. Should start proceedings around April 22nd.

If they say he's immune, he's basically free and clear of all the January 6th stuff.

"The President is immune to criminal prosecution" is an INCREDIBLE precedent to set, though. Means the only weapon against him is impeachment. Basically, he can do whatever he wants as long as he's popular. Kinda like a king.

Trump didn’t do anything illegal on Jan 6th anyway. Regardless if he was president.
