Trumps "immunity" defence is punctured by the first question

[Crepitus]

The defense claims that a president would have to first be impeached and convicted by congress before they could be prosecuted for an "official act"

A judge just asked if a president could order seal team six to assassinate a political rival, a presidential order for the commander in chief being an official act.

The lawyer again responded that the president would have to be impeached and convicted first.

These people are insane.

The founders had not considered Democrats would be taking democracy away.

The subhuman orange gorilla in a suit was in court today, flanked by his lawyers And of course he couldn't pass up a chance to run his yap. You can always tell when that son of a bitch is lyng. His big mouth is open & he looking down at the floor trying to think of another filthy lie to puke to his idiot followers.

Today, when those judges are finished with his lawyers & that jerkoff, they'll all know how it feels to be laughed at & stomped on.

Judge Florence Pan started off her questioning of Trump lawyer John Sauer by offering a novel scenario.

“Could a president who ordered SEAL Team Six to assassinate a political rival and was not impeached, could he be subjected to criminal prosecution?” Pan asked.

After some back and forth, Sauer said, “Qualified yes, if he’s impeached and convicted first.”

Trump doubles down after DC hearing: âMost people agree that weâre entitled to immunityâ â as it happened

If the judges rule in favor of Trump, it could lead to the dropping of the criminal charges brought by special counsel Jack Smith

This is not how democracies run. It is how imperial dictators run things. The US fought against this but perhaps the founders had not considered a trump when forming the constitution.

Sounds Like Biden just found a way to insure his second term.

Blah blah blah, the Trump SCOTUS will bitch slap this Dem attack on democracy.

Well under this new legal reasoning, Biden could have him, SCOTUS and all Republican members of Congress wacked, and there's not a thing you can do about it.

Dare I say, this legal argument has not been thought out.

The GOP will be having screaming fits by the time Harris is done throwing out electoral ballots.

Love watching Republicans move the Goal Posts when it comes to holding Trump accountable for Jan 6

1. While Mitch McConnell was Leader of the Senate, he was urged to impeach Trump before he left office. McConnell stated it was too late and that Democrats should do it after Trump was out of office.

2. When Democrats Impeached Trump after he was out of office, McConnell and fellow Republicans voted against it because he was no longer President. McConnell made it clear, Trump is still criminally liable for his actions.

3. Now that Trump is being criminally prosecuted, Republicans are claiming he can’t be prosecuted because he was not Impeached first.

Um, that's a new one.

Oh well. We're in uncharted territory right now. And we're in real trouble.

So, if the appellate court accepted the Plaintiff's logic, the President could instantly send in hitmen to legally wack the plaintiff. Seems a little self defeating.

The Democratnazi Cult is saving our democracy by only allowing Democratnazis on the ballots.

This argument is not based on hypothetical situations.

The judge’s question was ignorant.

A presidential act doesn’t suffice.

The law already says that it would have to be within the “outer boundaries” of the President’s authority. No President has any Constitutional authority to murder an opponent.

This highlights the dual justice system that is destroying every institution we have.

many people are not allowed on the ballots why is Trump the loudest crybaby over it?
