From what I was reading, this stops ALL Jan 6 shit they try to place on him.

But the New York ones no but they are so bullshit that it's actually tanking the state as people no longer trust leaving their money there so the appeal courts have a weight on them to dismiss it or sign New York's death warrant.

The only problem with New York collapsing is the giant rats in the city scattering to the neighboring regions when the food becomes scarce.

I assume those 8.3 million rats will eat each other before they scatter.

Nah, they'll eat the humans first.

I think it kills all of the federal cases against him. I would say it arguably also applies to the Georgia case too. But it probably has no bearing on the New York case. It seems like a stretch to say that paying Cohen the settlement funds and recording the payment in the accounting system was a "core" presidential act.

Also didn’t that happen before he was president?

I could be wrong on the timeline but I believe that either the check to Cohen or the recording of the payment in the accounting system occurred during the first month of his presidency. But the alleged sex acts and settlement all occurred long before he was president.

A disgrace.

Absolute Immunity only goes up to +5 weapons...

How important is this for Trump?

"Core" official acts or even official acts seem interpretable or at least challengeable

According to Robert Gouveia (Watching the Watchers), it's a pretty broad definition, and by default nearly everything will be assumed to be an official act and the prosecution must first prove that anything that they want to go after is not, and they also can't use the president's state of mind to argue that his intent makes something not an official act.

So from the sounds of things, it's pretty durable.

Anything the Democrat president does is core official act, nothing trump did or will do is.

The number of leftists who are coming out and saying "wowww so this means he can order the army to kill anyone he doesnt like" is a really obvious and frightening tell.
