The Supreme Court's decision to delay ruling on presidential immunity has made it increasingly unlikely that former President Donald Trump will stand trial for charges related to the 2020 election interference before the upcoming November election.
Special Counsel Jack Smith had previously urged the Supreme Court to expedite a decision to avoid such delays, but the court's hesitance has pushed the potential for a trial further back. Additionally, Judge Cannon's scheduling of a new 'mini-trial' aims to further delay the case concerning classified documents, with implications that any trial might only occur after the election.
This strategic postponement could significantly impact the legal proceedings and the political landscape, as Trump could theoretically face different circumstances post-election.

This whole situation just underscores how the legal system can be manipulated to favor those in power, especially when it comes to holding them accountable.
Seems like the justice system's playing politics again, delaying Trump's trial just long enough to sway the elections—so much for blind justice.
