Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) shared concern over delays in legal cases against former President Trump on Sunday, noting that a delay in the Supreme Court case over Trump’s claim of presidential immunity would be a “terrible decision.”
Delays in Trump’s legal cases have slimmed the odds that he will stand trial before the November election. Schiff said he sees Trump’s federal Jan. 6 case as the most important and emphasized that it is critical the Supreme Court move quickly on Trump’s claim that he cannot be prosecuted because he was working as the president.
“The Supreme Court moved with great speed when it came to ruling that Trump could appear on the ballot,” Schiff said on CNN’s “State of the Union” with Dana Bash on Sunday. “The question is, will it also move at great speed in rejecting this bogus immunity claim?”
“If it doesn’t, it’s making a deliberate decision essentially to push the trial past the election, and I think that would be a terrible decision both for the interest of justice,” he continued. “It’ll be a terrible decision in depriving American voters of the information they would learn during the course of that trial, but it would also just further discredit this partisan and reactionary court.”

have taxpayer paid security 24/7/365 already. If Trump somehow became a dictator in our country they'd probably house Clarence and his "best friend" within Fort Knox. Just so none of those blood-thirsty Democrats could get to them, you know? 🙄
And was an Impeachment Manager and head of the House Intelligence Committee before the GOP kicked him off.
