About this episode
In this episode Hawk, fresh from his COVID-19 adventure, stumbles through the maze of Donald Trump's immunity claims. Picture this: Trump, the former Commander-in-Chief and convicted felon, is essentially arguing for a "Get Out of Jail Free" card that would make even Monopoly players jealous. The Supreme Court, meanwhile, is busy trying to decide if being President is like having a lifetime supply of legal teflon.
Hawk takes us on a whirlwind tour of the oral arguments, where justices pondered such pressing questions such as whether a president could order a military coup (you know, just your average Tuesday in the Oval Office). He predicts that while the Court won't give Trump total immunity, they might invent a new game show called "Is It Official or Personal?" for future presidents to play. As for Trump's other cases, it's like a legal version of Whack-A-Mole - knock one down, and another pops up.
Finally, Hawk dives into Jack Smith's indictment, which reads like a political thriller with a cast of characters that would make a soap opera blush. Six unnamed co-conspirators? It's like Clue, but with fewer candlesticks and more subpoenas. Hawk wraps up by hoping for a pre-election trial, because nothing says "democracy" like deciding the fate of a presidential candidate between campaign rallies.
