Assassination Of Rivals Covered By Presidential Immunity

Former President Trump’s legal team suggested Tuesday that even a president directing SEAL Team Six to kill a political opponent would be an action barred from prosecution given a former executive’s broad immunity to criminal prosecution.

The hypothetical was presented to Trump attorney John Sauer who answered with a “qualified yes” that a former president would be immune from prosecution on that matter or even on selling pardons.

In the hearing that reviewed a motion from Trump’s team to toss his election interference charges, Sauer argued that presidents can only be criminally prosecuted if they have already been tried and convicted by the Senate.

“He would have to be impeached and convicted,” Sauer replied.

Trump team argues assassination of rivals is covered by presidential immunity

And that would be the argument.

What do you think, should we discuss the assassination of rivals as if it wasn't a thing? Nothing wrong with that. Right?

You are taking a TDS exaggeration by democrats as if Trump is planning an assassination. 🤦🏻‍♀️When in fact team Trump was very likely discussing the J6 false allegations.

Apples and oranges, lies and misinformation. Like evey other argument by the left.

ETA: only title readers and haters will fall for these. Anyone who can read, understand and think sees right through this disgusting propaganda.

The Commie judge brought it up. Not Trump's lawyers.

And depending on the situation it can fall within the law.

Say a judge signs off on an arrest warrant to arrest Biden for treason.

He resists and gets killed in the process.

Perfectly legal.

or you could use the other thought angle.

If a president can be charged for a crime in doing his job as president, then perhaps another look at Obama using a drone strike against an American Citizen who was a teenager would be in order. It can't be one and not the other. This is that "pandora's box" part that the left doesn't seem capable of looking for in their planning. When your vision ends at the tip of your nose, you can miss some important parts of the plan.

Not faster than light, just faster than Tim.
As for the rest, you’ll have to watch his segment from yesterday.

SCOTUS will decide.

No one is above the law, agreed?

The judge knows what Biden is planning if he cant win in November.

Asking if Biden should be held blameless.

What if there is credible intell that a current president’s political opponent is engaging in real life terrorists activities and is a clear an eminent threat to national security.

All the generals and cabinet members meet in the situation room; options are discussed and the current president gives the order fot seal team six to take out the political opponent?

The President should be in criminal jeopardy for this situation?

Hope the Justices rule that way and make it retroactive.

Biden and Barack are silent on this subject for selfish reasons.

Never said DEI was the winning ticket... just said it's not going anywhere. Corporate America is sticking with it, like it or not. The big business corporate (billion-dollar global business) world - not what mom and pops might think of when they think they will be forced to hire or whatever they are imagining DEI is. Some of the "definitions" here of DEI and racism crack me up.
And the Obama thing... come on, man! You guys bring him up on LITERALLY every thread. It's wild! I had no idea he made such an impression. But I'm pretty new to all of this.

Trump bragged that he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose a single vote. Now, through his attorney, he's saying, that he not only could he shoot someone and not lose any votes, but he could also shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not be prosecuted for it under presidential immunity.

Being new to all this, is evident. Obama is usually brought up when he steps in front of a camera and says something out loud. When he's quiet, not much is said about him other than it's likely he is driving Joetatoe's bus.

Since you are new and all, I invite you to look into what Obama said about his 3rd term.

he should be arrested, it's obvious he said he wants to commit mass murder. it's right there in his words.

Like Obama's being okay with a third term! Now I get it! Or Trump's dictatorship - but only on his first day. He's totally joking!? Just like Obama was!? Or is Obama telling truth/a true mastermind evil manipulator and Trump just joking about being an American dictator, because... funny... in an election year when people are talking about making target lists and retribution and militias and civil war? Hilarious stuff.
