And what that would mean is that if Merrick Garland told Biden he could coordinate all this lawfare against Donald Trump and could get his FBI and CIA to threaten lawmakers and set up the J6 “insurrection”, etc..... then Biden could never be prosecuted for it.
The logical extension of that is that all the Deep State that carried out the crimes on behalf of Biden also couldn’t be prosecuted, because they were “just following orders”.
IOW, what these DOJ lawyers are trying to get SCOTUS to make permanent is the idea that the country’s AG can keep any crime in this country from being prosecutable, as long as it is carried out through the POTUS by the permission of that AG.
Extremely scary stuff.
I’m wondering if Congress should pass a law REQUIRING states to have a slate of alternate electors so that WHEN (not if) the state’s audit of their election is done they can certify the truly legitimate slate of electors. Since it is Congress’ Constitutional duty to only count genuine Constitutional electors (ones chosen through the process set forth by that state’s LEGISLATURE), Congress could Constitutionally make this a requirement for states’ electors to be qualified as Constitutional electors.
I’m just brainstorming on this, since we’ve GOT to come up with a way for the states to be held accountable for following their own laws, even while allowing those states to run their own elections as the Constitution says.
Somebody help me out on whether this would work.
But it seems crazy that they are trying to jail Trump for any involvement with what democrats are already openly saying they would do if Trump gets re-elected.
