    EXCERPT:

    YOO: "What you are seeing here are now the fruits of the disastrous decisions that Judge Merchan and DA Bragg made to try to rush this case forward. Imagine, they were trying to get this in under the wire while they knew that the Supreme Court was hearing arguments on immunity issues that could directly impact the case, and they failed, because now they have to stop and they have to bow to the reality that the Supreme Court is saying this lawfare campaign against Donald Trump has to end. Anything you try that involves official presidential action is now immune. You could still try him for unofficial actions, things that he did when he wasn’t acting as president, but the court also said, even in cases where you used things referring to his acts as president, event to try him, say, with the Merchan case, are still going to be presumed immune. This throws a monkeywrench into the whole prosecution and to this verdict."
