Conservative lawyer George Conway stated on Wednesday that Donald Trump isn’t heading again to the White House.
He’s going to the large home.
“Trump will spend the rest of his life in jail,” Conway stated in a YouTube video posted by The Bulwark, a conservative anti-Trump web site. “It may take a while. Justice has already taken a while. He’s going to end up spending the rest of his life in jail.”
Trump is attempting to get out of prosecution in a case involving the plot to overturn the 2020 vote that culminated within the Jan. 6, 2021, riot on the U.S. Capitol, arguing earlier than a federal appeals courtroom this week that he has “absolute immunity” for acts carried out whereas he was president.
Conway known as that argument “completely insane” and stated one of many judges on the three-judge panel “completely dismantled” it by asking a Trump lawyer if that meant a president may order the assassination of a political rival.
Trump’s lawyer was pressured to concede {that a} president couldn’t be prosecuted even in that excessive situation until impeached and convicted first.
“Judge [Florence] Pan, just with great intellectual nimbleness, just picked him apart,” Conway stated.
Conway predicted Trump will lose the “absolute immunity” argument and can be going to trial on March 4 in Washington within the election interference case until the U.S. Supreme Court intervenes.
Conway was a critic all through Trump’s presidency regardless of being married on the time to Kellyanne Conway, who served as counselor to the president.
The Conways have since separated.
Conway has made the prediction earlier than, saying in September that it’s “beyond question he should spend the rest of his natural life in prison” because of the potential sentences within the numerous authorized circumstances Trump is now dealing with.
In his newest interview, he stated he’s sticking to that prediction.
