Hes totally right.

LOLOLOL

He’s right, the method to remove a President is called impeachment and removal. NOT the lawfare we see now.

[hcmama]

So if Joe Biden dispatches SEAL Team Six to take out Trump right now the only recourse would be impeachment and a Senate trial?

And comparing the executive authority of the president of the United States to a rogue cop?

Glad I don't have to defend this nuttery anymore

........NOT the crazed Biden lawfare we see now.

Gee, almost word for word what I’ve been posting here for some time.

I think limited immunity is right, and what the courts will ultimately decide. It is dependent on the circumstance. But Trump is asking for unlimited, infinite immunity, which is not correct, nor should be allowed.

You probably heard his lawyer argue that a President could use special forces to assassinate a political opponent using the military, and not be charged unless he is both impeached and convicted in the Senate, which has never happened before.

That is not hyperbole, that is what he argued. It doesn’t even take into account crimes that may have been conducted by a President, but not exposed until after they left office.

[Jane Long]

Of course he is right.

The NTs know this, as well.

That would be a blatant violation of Posse Comitatus and any US military personnel would be duty bound to refuse any such order.

Correct, but it would never happen because it would be a secret, like the Kennedy assassination.

Exactly, which is why in the Kennedy case they used the mafia, not the military.

[Just mythoughts]

You must be a college professor agitator?

“High crimes and misdemeanors”. See how that works? Impeachment.

[eyeamok]

And when you are Re-Elected you should respond in kind, by REVOKING any and All claims of Immunity for every last person in the previous Administration and charging them all with TREASON for the Invasion they facilitated.

What a coincidence that you picked Jonah Goldberg’s exact example from his tweet!

[Jane Long]

👍🏼

Thank you.

[Jane Long]

Maybe it IS Jonah Goldberg the DS hack ... lol!!

[hcmama]

Jonah Goldberg? That was a question that was asked in court

[Golden Eagle]

That was not the question posed by the judge, not would they have accepted that answer. The question was, if it happened, is the President immune from prosecution under your theory.

And he answered a qualified yes, he would be immune, unless he was convicted of impeachment, which has never happened to anyone. It doesn’t even take into account if it only became known after a President left office, which is ridiculous.
