The case regarding Presidential immunity is headed toward the Supreme Court. Democrats, of course, are praying to the God they don’t believe in, that the Supreme Court rules against Donald Trump. It is time for people to warn them that if Trump is found liable for actions as President of the United States, that will set a precedent that may result in severe unintended consequences.
If Trump had murdered someone or held up a bank, then Presidential immunity is hard to defend. But he isn’t charged with any of that. He is charged with misuse of classified documents, of lying about the 2020 election, and attempting to overthrow the government. The most serious, of course, would be attempting to overthrow the government, but no sane person would interpret January 6th as an insurrection.
Joe Biden, who has no argument for immunity, was more careless with classified documents than Trump. Hillary Clinton has been lying about the 2016 election for close to 8 years. She exposed classified documents on an unsecured server.
There is no evidence that Trump wanted armed thugs to violently overtake the capital and reinstate Trump as President. That is beyond absurd. As for asking people to be “faithless electors,” well Hillary did exactly that in 2016.
The following article from factcheck.org, while attempting to excuse Hillary, shows that what she did was far worse. She suggested electors vote for her regardless of the actual election results.
An important question is who benefited from that “riot” on January 6th and who did not. Once the mob was brought under control, Mike Pence quickly pushed through certifying the election and left town. That ended any chance of changing the results. It put Joe Biden in the Oval Office without regard to the consequences and with no realistic option to take corrective action, if (when) necessary.
The MSM reported that any concerns about the integrity of the 2020 were all lies that have been thoroughly discredited. That is the really big lie. A lie that benefited Joe Biden. It certainly did not benefit Donald Trump.
The Judge in the case brought by Special Prosecutor Jack Smith, just forced the DOJ to release unredacted versions of documents. Those documents show significant coordination between the Biden Administration and the DOJ regarding the prosecution of Donald Trump. Documentation the government DESPERATELY tried to keep secret.
When someone desperately tries to hide something, there is usually a reason for that.
If Trump loses on Presidential immunity, it is highly likely that Joe Biden will be indicted for acts he did as President of the United States, assuming he is still around. Of course, the cases are likely to be dismissed because of his senility and incompetence. Comforting!
The stupidest case is the one in New York, where the charge against Trump is a made-up felony, conspiring to prevent negative reports about him in the press. This is described as “election interference.” If this is the standard, then every person who runs for public office and tries to stop people from publishing negative things about them will commit a felony. This would eliminate at least 90% of people in congress. The other ten percent would be lawyering up too because it is hard to imagine anyone running for office who will not be accused of trying to stop negative reporting on themselves.
The point being, if Democrats win, they lose. The more they win, the more they lose. This may or may not stop Trump, but it will absolutely make running for high political office extremely dangerous. If someone accidently gets elected President despite all this, they will need to hire a legal committee to review any potential decision before taking action since some prosecutor will be almost certain to question whether their actions were legal.
Those who stand over the wishing well, blinded by Trump derangement syndrome should take a deep breath to consider the consequences of getting what they want. At best, four more years of Joe Biden wetting himself in public, assuming he comes close to lasting four years. Few would bet on him making it to the inauguration. So, now imagine being a Democrat, spending four years, trying to pretend Kamala Harris is doing a fantastic job. There isn’t enough alcohol.
