Special Counsel Asks Supreme Court To Rule Quickly Whether Trump Can Be Prosecuted

[postman]

Democrats then raised a lot of hell saying Clinton never should have been put on trial.

You left out that Clinton was impeached and tried while president.

In a Deal, Clinton Avoids Indictment

With just hours left in office, President Clinton reached a deal with the independent counsel yesterday that ensures he will avoid indictment for his misleading statements about Monica S. Lewinsky.

Clinton agreed to pay $25,000 in fines

Trump can now be charged for acts as a civilian only. Even Smith is confused as you are.

Correct, he is being charged as a civilian. He's no longer President. He's been charged with crimes (in the J6 case) for crimes while in office. He had to either be impeached or his term expire before he could be charged. Since he left office he can be charged.

Because Trump is trying to stall the trial until after the election with frivolous arguments.

Trump will be president after the election.

 

[WorldWatcher]

Trump will be president after the election.

Which country? It won't be the United States.

Not "two bites at the apple".

#1 Impeachment is a political process, not a criminal one. The Constitution specifically says impeachment is to allow for criminal prosecution.

#2 The 5th Amendment, which is where the concept of double-jeopardy exists, clearly says it's about crimes. See #1, since impeachment isn't a criminal prosecution, double-jeopardy doesn't apply.

This is not about double Jeopardy.

Lets try this about Biden to help you get it.

Today he can't be charged since he is president. The sole remedy as president is to be removed from office. Then he can be tried for acts as a civilian.
Say as president Trump murdered a person. Once impeached and convicted, then he can be tried for murder. Trump however committed no crimes at all. Nothing even to be impeached for. They tried that as you must recall.

I am not discussing if Impeach is criminal.

 

[Godboy]

He has no role to play. He wasn’t acting as president. He was acting as a candidate.

That makes his claim to immunity especially tenuous.

The fact that you think he needs imnunity is funny. You do realize that he ALSO has a 1st Amendment right to say whatever he wants.

 

[Marener]

Trump will be president after the election.

He wants to delay the trial because he’s afraid of the public hearing the evidence against him.

 

[Robert W]

Trump will be president after the election.

Trump is getting more and more powerful. The Democrats more panicky.

 

[Lastamender]

Which country? It won't be the United States.

Then they will have to cheat him again. You good with that?

 

[Godboy]

It would have to be hashed out before he'd be indicted.

No it wouldnt. "You can indict a ham sandwhich"

Trump is claiming he has immunity. It’s the entire point of this thread. Jesus, please try to keep up.

 

[Frankenstein]

Yeah, pretty interesting. This gets it over with, one way or the other, and would take away his main argument.

This court? Who knows what they'll say, or what they'll do.

Yeah but at least it will be within the confines of the constitution, like it should be not according to liberal whims like your own

 

[Robert W]

He wants to delay the trial because he’s afraid of the public hearing the evidence against him.

This shit by Democrats has been a powerful help to Trump. Smith is even confused.

Smith is confused and that is why he is whining to the Supreme Court.

 

[Marener]

Just stop.

 

[Lastamender]

He wants to delay the trial because he’s afraid of the public hearing the evidence against him.

What evidence? This is legal theory and the only evidence is what he said. His actions were completely legal. The 1st amendment will vindicate him.

 

[Marener]

This shit by Democrats has been a powerful help to Trump. Smith is even confused.

Trump’s actions prove otherwise.

 

[Godboy]

Trump is claiming he has immunity. It’s the entire point of this thread. Jesus, please try to keep up.

He has BOTH. If by some miracle they are able to get around his immunity clause, they would then have to figure how to strip him of his first amendment rights.

No right is absolute.
Such as Trump can't say "I'll pay anybody out there $1 million to shoot Joe Biden".

 

[Frankenstein]

Smith is confused and that is why he is whining to the Supreme Court.

Yep the need something to take peoples minds off of Biden's horrible numbers
