Let's talk about immunity, beginning with Obama

Oh my. Liberals haven't thought this through at all.

There is a flood of limp wristed hand wringing transpiring among liberal circles following the SCOTUS ruling on Presidential immunity. They should be grateful instead, but they are short sighted and lacking in memory. Let's have a look at the histrionics from a couple of left-wing Biden sycophants. First, the ever-hyperbolic Elie Mystal.

Well, yes. It's been done. Barack Obama killed four Americans in drone strikes. No indictment, no trial, no jury of their peers. Just BOOM.

On Wednesday, the Obama administration publicly acknowledged for the first time that four Americans were killed in drone strikes since 2009 as part of U.S. counterterrorism activities surrounding al Qaeda . Of the four, only one of them, Anwar al-Awlaki, was targeted, according to Attorney General Eric Holder in a letter to Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy. The following are descriptions of the four men killed in drone operations.

The other three- sorry about that!

One was 16-year-old Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, the son of Anwar Al-Awlaki.

He was killed at age 16 in a drone strike on Oct. 14, 2011, in Yemen. It, too, was a controversial extra-judicial killing. Some U.S. officials called it a mistake.

...He had no known ties to terrorism. Former White House press secretary Robert Gibbs, stated that his death was justified, and that he "should have had a more responsible father."

It was Biden's FBI who was authorized to use lethal force when raiding Mar a Lago.

The current SCOTUS ruling protects Obama from prosecution. Anyone with half a bloody brain recognizes that were any President to attempt to have an opponent killed it would NOT be an official action.

Here's the logorrheic Tristan Snell

Glad you brought that up, Snell.

Barack Obama's administration used the IRS to target conservatives.

But the Liberals have thought this through. They know that we have a two-tiered justice system and that they would never be prosecuted under the same laws that they use against Conservatives.

Clinton with Kosovo/Bosnia? LBJ Gulf of Tonkin? Carter’s fun with the Shah? Reagan’s contra? Bush with WMD’s and never getting Osama in Tora Bora...Clinton again with blowing up a milk factory?

I dunno, every president has some thorns.
Obama and drone strikes? Biden and his drone strike on an aide workers family?

Curious, is using the CIA/FBI/DOJ to spy on the opposition presidential campaign an official act?

[Carriage Hill]

Actually, it goes back to Bubba Jeffy Klintoon, for the FBI murders at Ruby Ridge and Waco, and and beyond to other presidsents, as well.

Re: "Oh my. Liberals haven't thought this through at all."

LOL - the author is a political moron (or a shameless liar).

The Democratic Party leadership fears NOTHING about federal law enforcement agencies or the federal judiciary.

Any politically related indictment against any senior Democrat would be swatted away (or indefinitely stalled) by Hard Left judges and Hard Left prosecutors.

Any indictment that squeaked all the way to an actual trial will have a Hard Left judge, a Hard Left prosecutor, and a Hard Left jury.

Oh - forgot to mention that the top USA law firms will defend the accused Democrats pro bono, so none of them will have to fear bankruptcy, like Conservative defendants have to.

You act surprised that “liberals” lack foresight and memory.

Have you been in a cave for last decade? :)

I know its hard to keep up, because of all the presidents destroying America, but Ruby Ridge was under Bush I, and Waco started under Bush I and Clinton finished it off.
