Trump v. United States' controversial July ruling establishing broad presidential immunity from prosecution was a victory for Trump beyond his wildest dreams.

The cases against Trump in Georgia and Florida have foundered for their own reasons.

Trump v. U.S. Supreme Court decision has called into question aspects of a prosecution that has nothing to do with presidential power.

John Avlon : The Supreme Court created an unmanageable situation that played directly into Trump ’s goal of delaying a legal reckoning.
