As noted by Chief Justice John Roberts in his landmark July 1, 2024 immunity decision in Trump v. U.S., a former president of the United States had never been indicted by the United States prior to Jack Smith’s filing charges against President Trump. The case of USA v. Trump was, ipso facto, a perverse joke. It was a diabolical move to change America. Nonetheless, the federal court system, up to and including the Supreme Court, had to take it seriously. That is why the nefarious forces behind Jack Smith saw to it that the grossly politicized District Court for the District of Columbia should serve as the base of operations for this leftist commando raid on the rule of law.

In Armstrong v. Executive Office of the President, 1 F. 3d 1274, 1291 (1993), the term “federal

Part of the two-tiered justice system issue.
In reality, how will these wrongs be righted when the courts are the final arbiters? It doesn’t matter if every action taken by Biden’s DOJ is illegal if they are all upheld by the courts. We need laws which automatically place prosecutors in prison for filing charges which are later found to be malicious.
