Summary
Special Counsel Jack Smith is in discussions with the Justice Department on how to conclude federal cases against President-elect Donald Trump, following DOJ policy that prohibits prosecuting a sitting president.
Trump, previously indicted for election interference and the unlawful retention of classified documents, has pleaded not guilty in both cases.
These prosecutions have been complicated by a recent Supreme Court ruling that grants presidents partial immunity from prosecution.
Additionally, Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the classified documents case, questioning the constitutionality of Smith’s appointment.
And the slim but heavily armed majority of this country will definitely see that as legally justified self defense and have no choice but to accept it peacefully! Right?
Let them try. We can’t and shouldn’t be handcuffed by their potential very illegal action.
Tell that to the people whose insides become outsides as a result of your lofty words.
Instance admins are legally responsible for everything posted on their instance.
If they don’t remove calls for violence, they can risk going to prison.
Also, it shows up in the mod log for me.
Perhaps not “take him out”, but I do hope Biden finally grows a pair and goes scorched earth on Trump by generally using the supreme court ruling to make life as difficult as possible for him, for example releasing all the Epstein files. I’m so sick of the Democrats continuing to think they can use reason and the moral highground while fighting a opponent who punches below the belt. Get down and fight dirty for once!
And you believe that Trump would not retaliate while in office, under the same official immunity?
You should put it all on the line before you ask the same of others.
I don’t think Speaker Johnson would be any better. Nor whoever gets president pro tem of the Senate, nor Secretary of State Elon Musk or whoever. That’s how far you’d have to go before you got Secretary of Treasury Janet Yellen, assuming she hasn’t been replaced by then. After that it’s Secretary of Defense, who would probably be impartial regardless of party registration.
And for any major event, usually at least one or two of the top people are kept in a secure, undisclosed location, to prevent a decapitation strike.
