This is like those mythical perjury traps where many otherwise legitimate avenues of conversation will get you banned.
I can see the MAGA SCOTUS ruling that Trump is right but it only applies to Ginni Thomas approved presidents of which there is only one.
Jesus Christ America, WTF is happening with you?
“I thought he said ‘impunity’.
>Former President Trump’s legal team suggested Tuesday that even a president directing SEAL Team Six to kill a political opponent would be an action barred from prosecution given a former executive’s broad immunity to criminal prosecution.
>The hypothetical was presented to Trump attorney John Sauer who answered with a “qualified yes” that a former president would be immune from prosecution on that matter or even on selling pardons.
…
“What kind of world are we living in … if a president orders his SEAL team to murder a political rival and then resigns or is not impeached — that is not a crime? I think that is an extraordinarily frightening future that should weigh heavily on the court’s decision,” Pearce said.
That has always been the problem of the deselect president. The job is not for living out his sick fantasies, but for living with the law, for the law and under the law.
Dark Brandon seen taking notes…
We are in some dark parallel reality.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on us.
May we be free from the Earthly Pharaohs that pop up from time to time.
Sounds like Trump isn’t arguing this for his defense, he’s arguing this for his *justification* for future violence.
> “He would have to be, and would speedily be, you know, impeached and convicted before the criminal prosecution,” Sauer replied, setting a pre-condition for such prosecution in Pan’s hypothetical.
So do the bad stuff after an election loss (or not!) and pull a Nixon and resign before an impeachment/prosecution EQUALS …. Get Out Of Jail Free Card.
Donald better watch out then
Rule in Trumps favor, presidential debates will be spicy. Biden should just have seal team six sitting stage right.
So Trump team should keep their mouths shut if Trump is suddenly killed by Biden in Celebrity Deathmatch then, huh.
> Sauer later argued the threat of prosecution could have a chilling effect on future presidents’ decisions, saying they would need to look over their shoulder and ask, “Am I going to jail for this?” when making controversial decisions.
Yes, exactly. Yes, yes, yes. This x1000, yes.
Maybe someone should ask him if Biden should test that theory.
If that’s the case, gonna need Dark Brandon to step up and save our democracy 👀
Well if this argument prevails then Biden is legally clear to have Trump assassinated 🥳
Biden has the chance to do the funniest thing ever…
If that’s the case …….. Fat Donnie could be whacked ? Asking for a friend.
Holy fuck this is just madness. How have we arrived to this….and how come it feels like we are all just collectively rolling onto our backs for Trump. I’ve never seen the justice system so paralyzed…it’s doing its thing, but everything around it is burning down at an accelerating rate.
Then just sending Trump to a CIA Black Site should be fine for Biden.
So their argument kinda makes it so trump can’t be the next president….. he’s either not immune and will be imprisoned…. or Joe is immune and can do whatever he wants to him…..
Ok. Bye Trump.
“Why do liberals keep calling us fascists?!”
Really makes you think about the Epstein death
Giddy up then Biden. Looks like now’s the chance!
Have Biden to do the job and get this nonsense shit over with then
I wonder who he had assassinated.
Ok Biden, you heard that. These lawyers are insane.
The difference between Obama authorizating drone strikes and president Bush attacking Iraq was these were authorized attacks our presidents engaged in to protect our country from another country or terrorist! President BENEDICT DONALD was attacking our own country, you know the country that he swore he would defend and it’s constitution! Trying to overthrow our democracy and our constitution that has existed since 1776, our independence from someone like him, a king wannabe! He’s a traitor to our country, I’m worried what top secrets he may have sold to our foreign adversaries. After all China did pay him 5 million dollars while he was in office, and saudia Arabia did give his son in law 2 billion dollars to play with 6 months after leaving office! And all the Republicans want to investigate is the size of Hunter Biden’s dick in his laptop. Yeah we really need more Republicans in power. Look at their track record, Biden isn’t the best president, but he is far better than any Republican that’s breathing today! Can’t wait for the beat down in November, and get ready for the crybabies to claim the election was rigged again! It couldn’t be that they just suck when it comes to try and run our country for the American people, and quit bitching all the time so the Democrats can actually get some things done for us! If you want a better future for our country and yourself, you better vote for our Democracy and the Democrats! Clearly the Republicans think it’s ok to overthrow an election if they don’t win!
>Sauer later argued the threat of prosecution could have a chilling effect on future presidents’ decisions, saying they would need to look over their shoulder and ask, “Am I going to jail for this?” when making controversial decisions.
Holy fuck my guy, thats called Checks and Balances! It’s the very basis of our democracy.
I don’t see how his lawyers can argue this and not worry about what could happen to Trump if the courts agree with them.
Can the president also assassinate inconvenient SCOTUS members? Asking for a friend.
Dark Brandon, get the SEAL team on the line! Let’s do this!
