Jack Smith is used to losing unanimously in the Supreme Court. Somehow he does not seem embarrassed about the prospect of another time.

I don’t see a single court in this country,including SCOTUS,having the wisdom,integrity or courage to do the right thing here.

Since a president can be impeached for a crime committed while in office, I very much doubt Trump would have presidential immunity for acts that aren’t 100% official.

There is no valid January 6th case that can be made against Trump from what I’ve read. If the Democrats had a valid case, it would have been made during the second impeachment trial.

As for the Florida documents trial, Article II, Section 2 says the President “may require the opinion, in writing...”

This was obviously so a President could ensure he would not get “stabbed in the back” later if something went wrong. Obviously, a President might need to retain such writings if he wanted to hold public office again.

As for the NY valuation case, Trump was obviously supplying optimistic upside values much like stock analysts in New York City and other places offer up.

Trump would not buy a $100 million building to sell it for $100 million. He might buy it to sell for say $150 million after putting say $20 million in wise improvements in. When buying property, Trump would be looking to get maximum returns per million dollars invested.

Jack Smith - it's not his real name.
It's Tomás de Torquemada, Grand DoJ Inquisitor, Persecutor of Donaldus Magnus.

Jack Smith needs to be brought up on some serious charges when all this is done.

Jack Smith is an “Enemy Combatant” and should be treated accordingly when President Trump is re-elected.

The Department of Justice is not worthy of the name.

Perhaps the National Prosecution Bureau would be more appropriate.

“Nixon v. Fitzgerald”

That decision was to prevent sitting presidents from getting bogged down by thousands of lawsuits.

By the time a January 6th lawsuit went to court, Trump would have been out of office.

I believe the courts have allowed Capitol Police officer lawsuits against Trump.

A federal criminal prosecution should have a higher legal priority than mere civil lawsuits.

Ford pardoned Nixon over Watergate.

“As a result of certain acts or omissions occurring before his resignation from the Office of President, Richard Nixon has become liable to possible indictment and trial for offenses against the United States.”

“I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United States, pursuant to the pardon power conferred upon me by Article II, Section 2, of the Constitution, have granted and by these presents do grant a full, free, and absolute pardon unto Richard Nixon for all offenses against the United States which he, Richard Nixon, has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 20, 1969 through August 9,1974.”

Screw Smith. Just another two-bit, Watergate-style puddle of puke.

“In March 2021, two Capitol Police officers filed a lawsuit against Donald Trump. In February 2022, a federal judge ruled that the lawsuit could proceed.

“In January 2022, two Metropolitan and one Capitol Police officer filed separate suits against Trump, highlighting alleged wrongful conduct by Trump in inciting a riot during the January 6 riot.”

It's pretty clear what the Democrats are trying to do here.

Note that:

  1. The Constitution grants immunity (except for Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace) to all members of Congress (Article I Section 6) for all acts occurring while in Congress, and traveling to and from Congress.

    Only Congress can remove a fellow member of Congress from their office.

  2. The Constitution grants de facto immunity to the Supreme Court and all inferior courts (shall hold their Offices during good Behavior) unless impeached and convicted by Congress.

    Once, Congress tried to eliminate an inferior court (as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish) but the judges of that court filed suit, claiming that eliminating their court violated the "Compensation which shall not be diminished during their Continuance in Office" clause. [someone else will have to find the citation for me]

  3. But we are to believe that the President has no such immunity at all? Congress can impeach and convict the President; the Supreme Court can refuse to hear the appeals of the President? The President stands alone unprotected by the Constitution?
So, everyone in federal government has immunity except for President Trump?

It will soon become common practice for a President to issue himself and others blanket pardons.
