As they waited to see him at the federal courthouse, two media members cracked jokes about an assassin shooting down former President Donald Trump.

Unidentified male journalists were stationed with their cameras outside the E. Barrett Prettyman US Courthouse. They began to complain about the difficulty of getting a good view of the 77 year old Republican 2024 front-runner.

You know what’s the worst? “Even if he is hanging out of his window, he would be on the opposite side of the road,” one person was heard saying in the live feed of the Associated Press.

The second reporter replied, “We’re in good shape if we can catch him driving.” To which the first reporter replied, “Yeah. If he is driving with his front window opened.”

1776 Coalition Sponsored Is Israel’s fate tied to Syria? Syria has fallen, but we are still far from seeing the last of the hostages returned. Our brave soldiers must fight to secure Israel’s borders, rid the region of emboldened attackers all over the Middle East, and adapt to the escalating threats from Syria, but Israel doesn’t have enough supplies to properly win this war. Can you support our IDF sons and daughters as they continue fighting for the Survival of the Promised Land?.

The conversation veered into gallows humour about the former President arriving in an open top car similar to the one that President John F. Kennedy rode in when he assassinated him in Dallas on November 22, 1963.

The second person replied, “Yeah or if it is a convertible.”

The first replied, “I didn’t think about it.”

The second began to say “Yeah… like if he pulls up — ” before the first interrupted and asked “Like JFK?”

Maybe someone will tell you, like JFK was told, “You know what to do?” You should get a convertible. The media person continued to laugh with his colleagues.

Trump’s attorneys argued to a DC appellate court panel that he shouldn’t be charged in relation to his attempts to reverse his loss of the 2020 election and to prevent the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021 because he wasn’t impeached or convicted in first connection with these events.

John Sauer, Trump’s lawyer, said that if a president is prosecuted, it would be a Pandora’s Box from which the nation might never recover. He said that this precedent could lead to presidents being prosecuted if they give Congress “false” information in order to go into war, or if they authorize drone strikes against US citizens abroad.

The result of the arguments will have a huge impact on the criminal case against Trump. It may also set the stage for future appeals to the US Supreme Court, which, although it declined last month to take a position on immunity claims made by the former president, could still decide later.

Special counsel Jack Smith, along with his team of lawyers, are in a hurry to make a decision. They want to bring the case to trial as soon as possible before the November elections.

Trump’s attorneys, in addition, to getting the case dismissed, hope to benefit from a long process which could delay the trial beyond its scheduled start date of March 4, and well into the heat during the presidential campaign.
