Sixteen former DC officials and “legal experts” submitted a brief to the US Court of Appeals in President Trump’s immunity appeal, arguing against immunity for ex-presidents in criminal cases.

The list of attorneys includes former Bushies, turncoat Bill Kristol, Ty Cobb, Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald, a Mike Pence advisor, and unhinged nutcase George Conway.

Here are the so-called “principled Republican” experts who are sh*tting on Trump today:

Why would they have any standing to even submit briefs to any court at all?

The Kangaroo Court charges against Trump are ridiculous, but I don’t see why a former president should have immunity in general.

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
Ty Cobb is a disgruntled former Lawyer, who represented me long ago, and knows absolutely nothing about the Boxes Hoax being perpetrated upon me by the DOJ for purposes of interfering with the upcoming 2024 Presidential Election, where I am substantially leading all “comers,” including Republicans and Democrats. His words are angry, nasty, and libelous, only because I did not continue using him (and paying him), and for good reason. He will be held legally responsible for his false statements!

Patrick Fitzgerald again - the godfather of the kid of the FBI’s Comey (who Trump fired), and also the obsessed lawfare attacker who went after Scooter Libby in the days of the Valerie Plame CIA / Niger yellowcake uranium days.

Ty Cobb sure made a jackass of himself here:

Former Trump White House lawyer Ty Cobb calls Mueller ‘American hero’, says probe not ‘a witch hunt’
NBC News Misleadia ^ | March 5 2019 | Allan Smith
Posted on 3/5/2019, 11:07:49 AM by Lazamataz

Ty Cobb, the White House attorney who served as President Donald Trump’s lead counsel during the early stages of special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe, called the former FBI director and federal prosecutor an “American hero” in an interview published Tuesday.

Speaking on ABC News’ “The Investigation” podcast, Cobb also disagreed with the president’s assessment that the Russian investigation is a “witch hunt.”

“I think Bob Mueller’s an American hero,” Cobb, who joined the White House in the summer of 2017 and left in May 2018, said. “I think Bob Mueller’s a guy that, you know even though he came from an, arguably, privileged background, you know, has a backbone of steel.”

Kristol ...backed by the kissuptoIran lobby...

Defending Democracy Together (DDT), which has received $1.6 million from liberal billionaire Pierre Omidyar’s Democracy Fund Voice, “has spent $11.5 million on independent expenditures opposing Trump or backing Democratic nominee Joe Biden,” according to Open Secrets. Reportedly, DDT is the “the top spending ‘dark money’ group of the 2020 election cycle so far.”

Kristol is listed by Influence Watch as DDT’s “Board Chair.” Through its project Republican Voters Against Trump (RVAT), of which Kristol is “founding director,” DDT “runs an onslaught of unconventional ads featuring Republicans who plan to vote against Trump in November,” Open Secrets said.

Fitzgerald :

“”....Why would Obama choose a man like Holder to be the attorney general? The answer to that question might best be answered by yet another key stage in the devolution of the DOJ: the crucial period when Illinois Senator Barack Obama was running for president.

Federal authorities, particularly those Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), were outraged that Madison Hobley had been released from death row for an arson that killed seven people. Claiming he was the victim of abuse by infamous former police commander Jon Burge, Hobley was freed from behind bars when he was granted a pardon from Governor George Ryan in 2003.

The allegations of torture against Burge are treated as gospel in Chicago’s well-oiled journalism machine. The Hobley case is compelling not only because it was based on a crime in which seven people died and dozens were injured, but because it became the foundation upon which federal authorities were finally able to convict Burge for perjury and obstruction of justice when Burge stated in a civil suit brought against him by Hobley that he had not coerced confessions.

Th... To finally convict Jon Burge, did Chicago release a mass murderer?

Well, many federal investigators believed so. The ATF took up a federal case against Hobley after he was released from death row. In the course of re-investigating it, ATF agents found even more evidence against Hobley, not less.

Agents, for example, went to Hobley’s mother’s apartment where Hobley had strangely relocated to after the fire. There the agents met the landlady, who told investigators that she was approached by Hobley’s mother and told to hide Hobley’s clothes or she would be harmed. Chicago detectives had searched for the clothes, but never found them. Now ATF agents understood why.

After Obama won the election, he quickly announced that Eric Holder, the same man who had forcefully advocated for jailed FALN terrorists, would be the next attorney general. The feds in effect had two cases on their table: One was new charges against Hobley that might return him to prison and the other was Jon Burge.

Many federal agents thought the indictment of Hobley was imminent, but suddenly things went quiet. U.S. attorney for the northern Illinois district, Patrick Fitzgerald, announced to the shock of ATF agents that his office was not going to indict Hobley, but would proceed against Burge. Hobley was ultimately awarded a multi-million-dollar settlement from the city of Chicago and Burge was sent to prison for four years. At his sentencing hearing, Burge asserted he had never spoken to Madison Hobley.”

Fitzgerald went on to work for Skadden Arps, which supported Kerry in 2004 and failed to register as a foreign agent while helping the Podesta Group lobby for clients in Russia and Ukraine.

Federal Sources: Fitzgerald Held Off Blagojevich Bust to Protect Obama Election Chances
debbieschlussel.com ^ | December 11, 2008 | Debbie Schlussel
Posted on 12/11/2008, 7:02:43 PM by Free ThinkerNY

Did Obama Fail Ethics Requirements of Illinois Bar?

A federal source of mine with ties to Chicago says that FBI agents had enough to prosecute corrupt, helmet-haired Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich back in June, when he was already engaged in some of the blackmail and extortion alleged by the FBI affidavit and other documents associated with his arrest and prosecution.

The source says that the FBI was suddenly ordered by the U.S. Attorney’s Office—and I believe that order came from the top, ie., U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald and Justice Department officials in Washington—to hold off on doing anything until after the election, so as not to hurt Obama’s White House bid. Here’s what my inside source says.

I know for a fact FBI Chicago had enough to indict Blagojevich in June. They were 2 weeks from indictment in June based on cooperation and testimony at the Stu Levine trial. Levine was Tony Rezko’s bud, fund raiser for Blago, and our President-Elect.

I wonder what took them so long? My guess is when it started to look like a lock for Obama’s nomination by the Dems, someone at the U.S. Attorney’s Office put it all on hold, so as not to spoil “The Annointed One’s” shot. . .

Fitzgerald threatens to sue publisher over book (Triple Cross re jihadist mole in FBI)
Chicago Tribune ^ | 6-8-09 | Mike Robinson
Posted on 6/8/2009, 10:39:00 PM by STARWISE

The top federal prosecutor in Chicago is threatening to sue publisher HarperCollins, calling a book about the war on terrorism that focuses in part on cases he was involved in “a deliberate lie masquerading as the truth.”

If HarperCollins publishes the new edition of “Triple Cross” by Peter Lance this month “and it defames me or casts me in a false light, HarperCollins will be sued,” Patrick Fitzgerald said in a letter to the New York-based company.

The book focuses on, among other things, major terrorism cases that Fitzgerald prosecuted when he was an assistant U.S. attorney in New York in the 1990s. . .

Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald

Is this the same total dirtbag that ran cover for Obama in Chicago?
Hid Obama’s history.
Covered for the sale of his senate seat.
Directed the destruction of evidence of the sale from the wire taps he had on Blago.
Covered up the kickback system to Michelle Obama on the hospital boards?
Covered up the scandal of the Obama’s law license problems?

The SCOTUS takes advice from this guy the nation has no hope for free and fair elections. This guy has stood for government election manipulation for almost two decades.

Their arguments are predicated on the pretense that Trump is guilty of something related to January 6th at the capitol, yet their is no evidence that he led or organized any of the riotous behavior their. All that Trump is “guilty” of is people who behaved badly thinking they were doing so for Trump.
