Ted Cruz Admits Trump’s Fever Dream of Obama Treason Charge Is BS | Even if Tulsi Gabbard’s half-baked conspiracy had any merit, presidents are immune from prosecution for official acts.

1. From the article: Sen. Ted Cruz has admitted that Barack Obama is not going to be charged with treason, despite the Trump administration’s attempts to smear the former president to deflect from the Jeffrey Epstein saga.

   Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard has accused Obama of engaging in a “treasonous conspiracy” and “years-long coup” against President Donald Trump over his administration’s investigation of Russia’s attempts to influence the 2016 election.

   Trump and his base have eagerly embraced the half-baked conspiracy and called for Obama’s arrest, but now the president’s own allies have been forced to admit Obama won’t be on trial for treason anytime soon.

   During Cruz’s Wednesday appearance on The Ingraham Angle, Fox News host Laura Ingraham pointed out that the Supreme Court has ruled that presidents enjoy immunity for “official acts.”

   “He’s not going to be prosecuted for treason,” Ingraham said. “That’s not going to happen.”

   “He’s not going to be prosecuted, in all likelihood, for treason,” Cruz agreed.

   The Texas senator then tried to insist, however, that members of the Obama administration could face “criminal liability” for supposedly lying under oath and “fabricating evidence.”

   So far, the administration has not provided any evidence that Obama officials did anything other than request preliminary intelligence assessments about Russia’s election-meddling in 2016.

   Gabbard’s supposed smoking guns have not contradicted the massive bipartisan Senate Intelligence Committee report that concluded in 2020 that Russia had “engaged in an aggressive, multi-faceted effort to influence, or attempt to influence, the outcome of the 2016 presidential election” in Trump’s favor.

2. It’s all for show… a smoke screen… a diversion.

   The administration wants to bury/hide the Epstein issue.

   Sorry boys and girls. Epstein is not going away.

3. Raphael*

4. Every sane person already knows it’s an attempt to stop people from talking about the fact that Trump is a pedophile

5. Trump is doing everything he can to get Epstein out of the headlines. Not going to work. Shut down congress, shut down whatever and we still want the files and documents. There is testimony proof that Chump raped 12-13 year olds. Their testimony should mean something.

6. Holy shit things must be bad for there to be so many precedents being set. When was the last time you heard Ted admitting something truthful? This is quite a threshold.

7. Sounds like Ted Cruz is trying to set the precedent for presidential immunity to include acts of treason, to make treason legal for Trump.

8. F you for making me agree with Ted Cruz.

9. And Lyin’ Ted is not above jumping on some baseless, fact-free made up shit to justify a coup. If it doesn’t meet Tannin’ Ted’s non-existent standards, we are in a brand new realm of lawlessness.

   Special thanks to SCROTUS, MAGA, Putin, billionaires, Fox, and the GQP for making unreality a reality.

   Release the Donvict-Epstein Pedophile & Sex Trafficking files immediately and stop trying to distract people with transparently phony, laughably absurd bullshit.

10. Presidents shouldn’t be immune from anything.

11. Neither “official acts” nor “unofficial acts” were defined. *In all likelihood*, that was intentional for something like this if not this specific reason

12. Dont trust any of the right (pedo protecting individuals of TACO) when they speak. Their main motive is to protect TACO until they die.

    All of the cronies just make it easier for me to have them all be put on a boat send them out of the country.
