Donald Trump vs United States
It is not a question of the President being above the law but the right of the Attorney General, the head of the US Department of Justice to fire his boss, the Head of the Executive Branch.

@windinhishair Also, Trump wasn’t President when he committed the crimes he’s on trial for now. The presidency doesn’t confer retroactive immunity. Even Trump doesn’t say it does.

@LeopoldBloom True for the current trial, and the charges on classified document stealing that occurred after he returned to Mar-a-Lago after his presidency. But he also faces charges for crimes committed during his presidency when he and his sycophants tried to steal the election they lost.

"Donald Trump vs United States" is a case up for review by SCOTUS. It's about Jan 6, 2021 when the Capitol was stormed and Trump's alleged criminal behavior on that day as President. Trump left office on January 21, 2021.
If you are talking about the current trial and the other charges, Trump shouldn't have committed crimes if he didn't want to be prosecuted.

@sree251 Trump committed crimes in denying the reality of his loss and trying to steal the election from the winner, Joe Biden. If he didn't want to be prosecuted for those crimes, he should not have committed them. The Supreme Court will not rule that he has absolute immunity to commit whatever crimes he wishes as President.

The case is against the US President for commissioning of crime on Jan 6, 2021.
SCOTUS will rule on whether or not the US Attorney General has standing in prosecuting a US President.

@sree251 Trump's crimes on January 6 were part of his ongoing scheme to steal the election from Joe Biden. If he didn't want to be prosecuted for those crimes, he should not have committed them.
The issue before SCOTUS is not whether or not the US Attorney General has standing in prosecuting a US President. The issue described in the SCOTUS petition is as follows (from the scotusblog website): "that petition is granted limited to the following question: Whether and if so to what extent does a former President enjoy presidential immunity from criminal prosecution for conduct alleged to involve official acts during his tenure in office." It doesn't even mention the AG.
Nice try, but wrong as usual.
