Barrett, of all people, spills the beans in the immunity case.

[SeaMajor7]

Except inciting a riot to overturn an election is not part of his job. That's the thing.

Neither is paying off a porn star to keep quiet about an affair.

Or stealing government documents he was no longer entitled to when he left office.

Cool narrative, brah.

 

[JoeB131]

People are so binary.

“immunity” does not mean a President may turn around during the SOTU address and shoot the Speaker of the House with no legal ramifications.

This is more for like when Obama murdered a US citizen in Yemen with a drone strike. Should Obama be arrested for murder? He ordered the killing of a US CITIZEN with no due process. This is illegal.

Except the War on Terror resolution gave the President wide authority to attack suspected terrorist camps.

Trump isn't accused of killing people in a drone strike. (Which he did plenty of, including one American citizen in Europe).

He's accused of trying to overturn an election he lost.

 

[JoeB131]

Cool narrative, brah.

Oh, absolutely. Let's have the trials and then Trump can totally prove me wrong.

AGAIN, that's The Narrative from you demented zombies.
Get REAL for once.

 

[berg80]

That's fucking retarded.

We already know that impeaching a sitting president is a complete impossibility. It's been tried four times, and it has failed every time, even with a massively unpopular president like Andrew Johnson.

What you are advocating is that the presidency should be a "Get out of jail free card."

So hypothetical, the deep state in 2016 convinces Obama that Trump really was a Russian Agent, and Obama orders the FBI to send a tactical team in to Mar-a-Lago and shots are exchanged.

So if Congress fails to impeach him, that should be the end of the matter?

The charade being put forth by Repubs about impeachment being a prerequisite for prosecution is just disingenuously using the constitutional order as cover for a get out of jail free card for Dear Leader.

 

[MarcATL]

For about two decades we haven't had a Supreme Court, we've had The Heritage Foundation's Lawyers.

Republicans couldn't be more right about lawfare, their projections never fail to be true.

 

[surada]

"Absolute Immunity" would mean any president can murder anyone and get away with it.
That IS NOT what presidential Immunity is about AT ALL!!!!!
It's about protecting the executive office from legal ATTACKS for just doing Its JOB!
The fucking pretzel twisting the demented LEFT are doing is completely OUT OF CONTROL.

His job? Paying off porn stars is not Trump's official job.

 

[SeaMajor7]

Oh, absolutely. Let's have the trials and then Trump can totally prove me wrong.

More Soviet LAWFARE is nor acceptable for the country.

 

[Hollie]

It’s exceedingly dangerous to give Congress sole authority over what is and isn’t legal for the president to do.

Do whatever you want as long as a third of the Senate is okay with it. Yikes.

You mean what Chuckles Schumer and the senate squad did regarding the Mayorkas articles of impeachment?

 

[SeaMajor7]

His job? Paying off porn stars is not Trump's official job.

 

[berg80]

Yeah, Thomas is an issue unto himself. He doesn't have to recuse himself, because who can make him?

This has all become pretty obvious now.

I've heard it said numerous times by Dems during Trump's constant challenge to the constitutional order that "at least the courts have held." After yesterday that's just a quaint relic of the past.

Alawaki had two groups... One building bombs and the other training suicide bombers.

There's no US jurisdiction in Yemen...no due process.

They made a mockery of them. How could they not?

 

[Hollie]

They made a mockery of them. How could they not?

The Schumer clown show was a joke. Just another example of Dem / Socialist totalitarianism.

 

[wamose]

The SC wouldn't have to get involved here if the courts prosecuting Trump weren't abusing their judicial power to the point of it being an existential threat to our entire legal system. MAGA

 

[Care4all]

I think that as usual, you either take what Trump says out of context, or just project what you FEEL he means.
We cannot have a functional country if lawfare is normalized as being used now against candidate Trump. This goes way beyond Trump, you, and I. This is vital for the future no matter which party holds the Executive branch.

I'm not taking Trump out of context.... Just view the videos of what he has been claiming...


EVERYONE BUT TRUMP knows that there is presidential immunity for official acts, for mistakes made during an official presidential act.

Immunity for official acts has been the law and followed and believed by all presidents in our history, but Trump, who has appealed this, and argued no no no, it's ABSOLUTE immunity, for everything a president does...

There was no need for an appeal if Trump agreed with the Nation that presidential immunity is NOT absolute for unofficial acts.

 

[Blaster]

SCOTUS should make a final ruling after the election.

There would be no need for this discussion if it weren't for the BLATANT LAWFARE being waged against him by the demented LEFT.
We can go round and round in a circular argument to nowhere if you insist.

The same Republicans who said you can’t impeach after a President leaves office

 

[JoeB131]

AGAIN, that's The Narrative from you demented zombies.

Trump is perfectly free to try the "Gosh, I told them to be peaceful and I have no idea why they stormed the Capitol screaming 'Hang Mike Pence'!" schtick in front of a jury.

That will go over as well as the "I never fucked Stormy and it was an accounting error!" he's trying in NYC.

More Soviet LAWFARE is nor acceptable for the country.

Didn't you guys impeach Clinton for getting a blow job?
