“If you can arrest a former president named Donald Trump, you can arrest a former president named Barack Obama.” — Peachy Keenan on “X”
Obama bought a house within spitting distance of the White House when he left office and used it as headquarters to sabotage Trump.
There is plenty of stuff that he did after he left office to put him away forever. No need to worry about the Presidential immunity thing, because it only applies to crimes committed while in office.
There are two sets of “laws”. One for DemocRATz and associated leftist sewage, and the other for the rest of us. Nothing will happen to the lying Muslim eunuch Communist pretend intellect.
It sounds like guardrails were already in place and the O admin simply overruled them.
Better guardrails are always welcome.
Even if Obama can’t be prosecuted because of Presidential Immunity, I say treat him like Richard Nixon, make him an unindicted co-conspirator at trial for Brennan or Comey, put in the record evidence that Obama created treason and convict him in the court of public opinion.
Yes.
A treasonous coup does not fall within the scope of the functions of the Presidency.
No mea culpa, prosecute them all except Obama. Let the public see him as the coward in charge he was. Let those involved spill the details in courts, over, and over, and over......
President Trump should sue Barack into having to live in the old neighborhood in Chicago.
When it comes to Officers of the United States, the Constitution allows prosecution later after conviction by Congress. (Remember, the Constitution is the Supreme Law of the Land and only those federal laws PURSUANT to the Constitution are valid (US Const., Art. VI, Cl. 2).
The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.US Const., Art. II, Sec. 4.
Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.US Const., Art. I, Sec. 3, Cl. 6-7.
US Const., Art. I, Sec. 3, Cl. 7 reads that an official who has been congressionally convicted can be prosecuted later for crimes done while in office. The Constitution never says that an official who has not been congressionally convicted can be prosecuted later for what he does in office.
If the Constitution meant that any official could be prosecuted later for what they did in office, why would it specify “the Party convicted”? If the Constitution allowed any official to be prosecuted later, wouldn’t it say something about that along with the limiting “Party convicted” as written?
For example, the Constitution is written so that if it is silent regarding a federal power and the federal power is not specifically enumerated to the feds, then it is not a valid federal power. The Constitution is the ONLY source of delegating powers to the feds by specifying and enumerating them. So, when it comes to the federal gov’t, if it’s not in the Constitution, it’s not a federal power.
So when it comes to the federal gov’t, what constitutionally can be done BY them or TO them should be specified, and prosecution of officials after leaving office who have not been congressionally convicted is not specified in the Constitution.
Also, limited immunity of high gov’t officials is an important factor. Otherwise, they are vulnerable and subject to all kinds of vengeful legal suits, frivolous or not, after they are out of office. That jeopardy could reasonably keep them from faithfully and bravely executing their duties while in office.
Again, if they misbehave while in office, then it is up to Congress to bring charges and convict such.
So the Constitution provides for prosecution of high officials but balances the need for limited prosecution so the officials can be effective while in office and not afraid of politically-motivated legal suits later. If Obama and his officials weren’t congressionally impeached (”impeached” means “formally charged”) and convicted, can they constitutionally get away with crimes while in office? Apparently. We live in an imperfect world and the Constitution is probably the most inspired legal document to create the best nation within that imperfect world. So within our imperfect world, America and the Constitution aren’t perfect, but they are way ahead of whatever’s in second place. Further, I won’t endorse what violates the Constitution. Doing that just empowers the other side to violate the Constitution, which is how we got into this mess in the first place.
It wasn’t a hoax. It was fraud intended to interfere with an election and the constitutional transfer of power. It was denial of rights under color of authority. It was a few other things but it wasn’t a hoax.
My response to the headline question is: Absolutely! The jerk Obozo and his ilk have committed treason in the first degree. I just hear that Newsmax hack, Napolitano incorrectly say that Obozo can’t be convicted of treason because treason has to be committed in a time of war. The statute says nothing of the kind. It says that the act of treason has to constitute and consist of war against the U.S. Now, there can be no logical description of the multi-year actions of Obozo and his treasonous cohorts as anything but waging war against this country to destroy America as we know it.
Doesn’t matter if he “can”...we all know that The Magic Negro will never see the inside of a courtroom.
The bass turd should have been in jail a long time ago. I’m still not convinced he was a natural born American citizen and was therefore not qualified to be the POTUS. He needs his *** kicked.
King Obama used Federal Government resources to destroy a incoming freely elected POTUS for political purposes.
If we are going to be ‘No King’ Country we better prosecute Obama to the fullest extent of the law, or the next democrat to take power will be much, much, much worse.
“If all the facts alleged are true, was Obama acting within the scope of his constitutional authority as president? “
No. I don’t know why people insist they can’t figure it out. He was violating his oath of office.
James Comey called the Steele Dossier “unverified and salacious” but used it to get warrants to spy on Trump. Peter Strzok investigated, said “there is no there, there”. Comey said he did not think Michael Flynn lied, but Comey lied to Trump. Trump fired Comey after Comey said Trump was NOT under investigation, but his firing becomes predicate for an illegal special counsel, with Peter Strzok on the team? Mueller’s appointment itself was a crime. with Weisman and obvious partisan, and running the show as part of the espionage against Trump. There is evidence of a crime. Even Robert DeNiro;s TV ads pressuring the electors to vote against Trump based on the false claims of Hillary, Obama and fake news. Democrats have a habit of winning by bribery and extortion.
The Biden DOJ opened the door by charging the J6 Oathkeepers with seditious conspiracy even though they were not at the J6 event.
Trying them I’d not the problem. Finding a jurisdiction that finds them guilty is a problem.
Since this conspiracy began with Hillary and the DNC both paying a Russian spy, apply the TICO laws and go for Conspiracy to commit Seditious Treason which has no statute of limitations.
When the riots start in response, declare Martial Law and move it to a military tribunal.
Remember, the statute of limitations on conspiracy does not begin to tick as long as the conspiracy continues.
Like the J6’rs, throw them all in solitary, maybe in Guantanamo Bay prison.
Presidency and Govt of the Swamp, by the Swamp, for the Swamp ended on inauguration day 2017.
Shadow Presidency and Shadow Govt of the Swamp, by the Swamp, for the Swamp started on the same day.
If U.S. law does not allow for prosecution of Barack Obama for this treasonous conspiracy, U.S. LAW IS NO GOOD AND MUST BE COMPLETELY CHANGED TO THROW THESE CONSPIRATORS IN PRISON OR SEND THEM ALL SWIFTLY TO THE GALLOWS !
We the people need to FORCEFULLY reject the obvious flaws of our American legal system and NOT let this organized crime mob get away with this.
Our American legal system must not be allowed to be reduced to a suicide pact in which a traitorous ringleader like Barack Obama can laughingly avoid punishment for his efforts to overthrow our constitutional system.
Barack Obama is the scoundrel-in-chief.
What system can withstand such treason without punishment of its crime boss and remain standing?
the very thorough AMACS analysis supports what i’ve been saying all along:
1. knowingly lying though your teeth to nuke your political opponent is SOP for Democrats, but NOT against any Federal Law [if such a law did exist, we’d have to build a thousand more Federal prisons]
2. DoJ will NOT bring charges unless they KNOW they can win, and to do otherwise would be extremely foolish politically, because a not guilty verdict would vindicate the miscreants, and provide them the opportunity to crow at all hours that they were politically persecuted [which would actually be true]
3. the only thing the DoJ will be able to make stick is the obvious cases where obama/biden minions knowingly lied to Congress, but those charges can only be originated by referrals to the DoJ by Congress itself ...
