That's a good sign for Trump.
Can we trust SCOTUS ?
It's kind of a win-win.
If Trump wins at SCOTUS, presumably the trial is over and he's not burdened by court appearances in the middle of a campaign.
If he loses, it opens up the precedent of holding prior Presidents accountable for decisions they made in office. Not sure Joe and Barrry really want to go down that road...
Exactly. I totally agree.
I agree. In my opinion, it’s a win-win even if he loses, because there is a lot more baggage that they will be prosecuted for, other than documents.
I don't think the court appearances are any sort of burden on DJT re: his campaign. It has been said by some very smart people, the cases ARE his campaign. The more he is attacked, and has to appear in court, etc, the more Americans realize they need to stand with Trump, even if they do not like him, because the Establishment is far more corrupt and rotten than they thought.
But the strings are pulled at a higher DS level. I don't believe they care about BHO and Resident falling under the bus if this could snag the big Trump fish.
Think, if Woodrow Wilson said this over a hundred years ago, how massive, entrenched, is that invisible power is today.
I think the case is weak.
But even if SCOTUS rules against him, the delay helps Trump. It pushes the trial out even further.
Read the part here about Seal Team Six to see why I think it's a weak case. https://www.newsmax.com/politics/questions-immunity-trump/2024/01/09/id/1148916/
Of course it is. While President Trump is the accujused he will be cleared. There was enough PC to warrant a investigation for Election fraud. He had a duty to request them to look into election fraud. Next is president Tump stated everyone neds to go peadefully him and remain law abiding. Once president Trump is cleared this boomernags back on those from the past and their minions.
What you have expounded on is absolutely true, HOWEVER, when PDJT was coming out of the SCIF and was asked about the election, he said: "WE HAVE IT ALL" "WE HAVE IT ALL"!!!!!
IF PDJT goes before the Supreme's and they ask about WHY is is touting the fraud: HE SHOWS THEM AND EVERYONE HOW THE FRAUD WAS COMMITTED...
Don't forget WHY US Space Force Command was done and PDJT stood up a command the first thing (or close to it) to get it done!!!!
Amen. I have not forgotten. FISA works both ways. This is a declass in progress.
I'm praying we can brother or perhaps bringing their corruption to light is part of the plan...
Gods truth prevails and will expose them all, we will keep those prayers going.
Absolutely! 🙏
Right there with you my dear sister.
But we don’t need Trump to have immunity. If he gets it, so do the others like Obama, Bush, Biden, etc. I feel this is going to the Supreme Court to get an official NO immunity, and set the precedent.
President Trump will not get immunity for the very reasons you point out. This will boomerang back on the real criminals in the past. DS fell for the bait.
But what about the future?
Presidents can be sued into oblivion.
Appears we have to wait and see what is decided in April.
The US Supreme Court on Wednesday agreed to hear Trump’s presidential immunity claim in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s January 6 case in Washington, DC.
The high court will hear oral arguments on an expedited schedule the week of April 22 and decide by the end of the term in June or sooner.
Judge Tanya Chutkan postponed the March 4 trial date indefinitely as Trump’s immunity argument makes its way through the courts.
Earlier this month President Trump asked the US Supreme Court to pause the immunity ruling in Jack Smith’s January 6 case in DC.
Excuse me but why isn't the SC looking at the FACT that Trump had nothing to do with Jan 6, BUT Pelosi planned and directed every 'event' in the Capital?
I suspect we are coming to that point.
Here are a few points to keep in mind.
The immunity of former Presidents is a long-held precedent and tradition in the US Constitutional system since the start.
It was seen as critical, because NOT having that immunity would make it extremely difficult for presidents to act confidently and decisively in office, if there was real potential that when their political opponents 'got in', that they would then be targeted and attacked for their actions in office. Elected Presidents have to be able to act with full confidence in their actions.
But here is the problem: The office of POTUS became corrupted. Certainly with Bush Jnr and Obama, but very likely from LBJ onwards, certain POTUSes have done very bad things.
Lot's of people get all upset because DJT is being attacked by Jack Smith, but is this really hurting Trump, or helping him? How many middle of the road people in the US do you think are having their eyes opened because of the way that Smith and all the other lawfares are being conducted? As DJT says, his poll numbers just keep going up and getting a boost from all of this. And that is THEIR fake polls, even.
Does the principle of presidential immunity need to be revisted? Should a president be immune from ALL actions taken in office? Can a president commit murder and be immune after leaving office?
Very possibly, the Smith case may actually be a necessary part of refining the principle of presidential immunity. It may be that the immunity needs to be refined and narrowed, for example, not to extend to ALL actions taken in office, but only to OFFICIAL actions taken in office. Aka actions and decision that are legitimately part of the presidential role, but not those that are NOT part of the presidential role.
Trump is innocent of any wrongdoing. We know he had an obligation by oath to take even the possibility of election fraud seriously. Nothing he did is outside of his official responsibility as POTUS.
But if at some point, Obama and Bush Jnr, for example, are to be held to account, then the definition of presidential immunity might very well need to be narrowed or more defined.
SCOTUS may very possibly deliver a judgment here that refines the definition and both exonerates Trump while also exposing previous presidents to liability for treasonous or other actions.
Either way, its not just a cut and dried issue, as far as I can see.
Thank you for sharing this. I totally agree. For high crimes of Treason and such there needs to be defined rule as you so well pointed out.
FULL STOP.
It's already been proven that Jackie boy has no authority to prosecute GEOTUS because he wasn't rightfully appointed with approval by the Senate.
So just exactly WTF is going on here.
Exactly, and President Trump was never convicted of any crime.
Declass in progress. You have to show the people.
This should be 9-0. Anything else shows a completely illegitimate supreme court
Always remember this. The FARM spied on Congress and SCOTUS and nobody went to jail for violations of Domestic Operations by the FARM. The question is what leverage do they have because with the DS it is always about leverage.
This
It's more complicated than that.
It's really not. There is a process in place for charging, trying, removing a president. This was attempted and it failed. You don't get to try again, using a crime that isn't a crime, with a full communist "jury of his peers".
EDIT: Sitting* president
That's what Impeachment is. But what of acts that are uncovered AFTER the president leaves office?
I think you are missing the point, entirely. DJT isn't guilty of any of the so-called crimes that they are charging him with. But that's an issue of the Justice System.
You seemed to be all reeee'd up because they are attacking your (and mine) favorite president. But these attacks are all actually helping Trump, don't you realize?
The position you are taking is one that ultimately says, GW Bush, B. Obama, so what if they betrayed their oath, committed crimes during their time in office? They should be immune!
The point is, the issue of presidential immunity needs to be clarified. If the SCOTUS clarifies that any action taken by a president in the course of executing his official duties is immune, that's an important win. If SCOTUS clarifies, further, that immunity only extends to official acts and duties, then that leaves Obama, Bush and other previous presidents exposed and potentially liable, because the acts they committed that contravene their oath, etc, they should be liable for that.
Timing is everything!
Amen
I don't know how u I feel about this argument. Won't this mean Obama, the usurper Biden, and all future presidents will get away with crimes and corruption during their tenure?
Trump will be cleared. He asked them to look in election interference as many reports came out creating PC for a investigation . On Jan 6th he stated remain law abiding and go home peacefully. This set the stage to boomerang back on those in the past. President Trump was used as bait to get them to push this and the DS fell for it.
