BREAKING: Special Counsel Jack's house gets "swatted" by someone looking to intimidate him or possibly even get him accidentally harmed by responding officers.

This has MAGA written all over it...

"Swatting" is when someone makes a false call to police to try to get them to show up in force to an innocent person's house. The word itself refers to the SWAT teams that sometimes burst through the doors blasting.

Law enforcement revealed that the swatting attempt occurred on Christmas Day. Someone pretending to be Smith called the police and claimed that he had shot his wife.

Officers were sent to the house but were thankfully called off when the Deputy U.S. Marshals stationed to protect Smith and his family informed them that the Smith family was safe.

No arrests have yet been made. This disturbing incident is similar to one recently attempted on Judge Tanya Chutkan, the judge overseeing Trump's election interference case. Those tied to the case are being aggressively targeted.

Clearly, this is politically motivated and a full investigation is needed. The culprits must be arrested and prosecuted before they get someone killed.

BREAKING: Donald Trump's attorney stuns the world by arguing that Trump could order "S.E.A.L. Team 6 to assassinate a political rival" without consequence if Congress then chose not to impeach him.

We are in dark, uncharted waters now...

Attorney John D. Sauer was arguing to a judge that Trump has some kind of "presidential immunity" that insulates him from criminal consequences.

Pushing back on the patently absurd idea — which would turn presidents into de facto kings who are above the law — one of the appellate judges asked a hypothetical question.

"Could he order SEAL Team Six to assassinate a political rival?" asked the judge. "That's an official act, an order to SEAL Team Six."

"He would have to be and would speedily be, you know uh, impeached and convicted before the criminal prosecution," claimed Sauer.

Read that again. Sauer is claiming that if Trump used Navy Seals to kill a Democratic rival he would be immune to prosecution unless Congress impeached and convicted him.

In other words, a Republican-controlled House or Senate could completely let him off the hook. And they would, just like they let him off the hook for the the January 6th insurrection.

"What if he weren't [impeached and convicted]? There would be no criminal prosecution? No criminal liability for that?" responded the judge.

The lawyer then served up a word salad of legalese to avoid the question and the judge cut in.

"I asked you a yes or no question," she said. "Could a president who ordered SEAL Team Six to assassinate a political rival who was not impeached, would he be subject to a criminal prosecution?"

"If he were impeached and convicted first," the attorney insanely replied.

"So your answer is no?" said the judge.

The lawyer then went on to speak in circles again, but his point had been made clear. He is essentially arguing that presidents can do whatever they want so long as they have a compliant Congress unwilling to impeach them.

This is terrifying. Just imagine what abuses of power Trump will get up to if he is allowed back into the White House.
