Nineteen retired generals, admirals, and former top civilian defense officials have filed a brief with the U.S. Supreme Court, opposing former President Donald Trump’s plea for immunity from prosecution, claiming that granting such a request would pose a significant threat to national security.
The Supreme Court is set to deliberate on Trump’s presidential immunity argument on April 25, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.
The Supreme Court will deliberate on whether a president can be shielded from legal consequences for actions taken while in office. The decision, which may not arrive until late June, according to analysts, has significant repercussions for the timeline of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s case against Trump, potentially delaying the trial’s start until after the 2024 election.
President Trump’s legal team requested the Supreme Court to put a hold on the immunity decision related to Jack Smith’s January 6 case in Washington, D.C. This came after a federal appeals court, influenced by appointees of Joe Biden, had denied Trump immunity.
The three-judge panel of the DC Circuit Court of Appeals, consisting of Judges Florence Pan, Michelle Childs (both Biden appointees), and Karen Henderson (a George W. Bush appointee), emphasized the importance of allowing the prosecution to move forward, citing the public’s interest and the structure of the government.
Trump’s lawyers have fervently argued that a former president is immune from federal prosecution for alleged offenses committed while holding office.
“In 234 years of American history, no president ever faced criminal prosecution for his official acts. Until 19 days ago, no court had ever addressed whether immunity from such prosecution exists,” Trump’s lawyers wrote, according to CBS News. “To this day, no appellate court has addressed it. The question stands among the most complex, intricate, and momentous issues that this Court will be called on to decide.”

President is still commander in chief. He can issue a recall to active duty for all these corrupt bastards.
Sorry. My copy and paste screwed up in my last post.
Speaking out against the president, their commander in chief, as military members is illegal.
It makes pretty clear the long-held suspicion that it’s all politics above the rank of O6, and promotions are contingent on the kissing of whatever butts are on top.
In this case, using their titles is the association. If they made the declaration without using their military titles, that is a OK.
What about Biden stealing classified and top secret documents (for decades) and then communicating this information to his ghost writer. Biden knowingly sold this information for $8 million! But according to these F’ers, Biden is no threat!
“19 pieces of sh*t, who upon president Trump taking office once again, need to be called back to active duty, busted down to private, and sent to prison for traitorous activity.”
That’s what I would do. Kelly would to the list.
Deep state really hate DT. All the more to make him our President.
Are there any active U.S. military officers above the rank of major who should now EVER be promoted?
Obama got rid of 400 experienced majors who were true warriors. Many of these should be brought back, promoted to flag rank and put in charge at the Pentagon. The military is now full of Leftists and pansies. You can’t win a war with such traitorous scoundrels and the current ones probably don’t even WANT to defeat the enemies of the American people if they even know who the true enemies of the USA are.
We have people high up in the Pentagon now who THEMSELVES are enemies of the American people.
Sadly, that’s exactly the kind of thing that would restart and invigorate the entire establishment process against Trump. “Seven Days in May” would become an actual plan, but with a different ending than the movie.
Should read: “Kelly would top the list.”
Patton has elaborate decorations in a number of photos and portraits, but your point is well taken. Eisenhower and Bradley were far more humble in their professional appearance.
Decorations for completing basic training, tech school, NCO training, community volunteer work, and many others don’t make much sense.
I read Hayden’s autobiography. He is so proud that he led the development of the NSA datacenter that captures store every electronic communication going in or out of the US.
Deep state ghoul.
Deep Staters all.
These phony generals and admirals don’t tell the American people who should be their President. They salute and obey the LEGITIMATELY elected president. They shut up... or they get the hell out of uniform. If not, they go to federal prison.
Donald Trump kept us out of a war. These “pretend” warriors want to keep wars going. It’s much greater opportunity for them.
Sending our young people off to die in war is a real career growth move for these wicked posers.
Of course we’ve been right all along about this filthy crop of Obama/Biden flag officers. We don’t stand a chance in the next war. Pity the poor line troops.
I'm not sure how much weight this brief carries, given that none of the signatories are exactly constitutional law professors. What is its value, then? Mostly, it appears to be a message from the Deep State, reminding everyone that it has senior military officials in its pocket - and has for some time.
True, but the offense goes even deeper! These are military people and they know that Trump looks towards peace efforts more than our nations years and years of ongoing wars. They are part of Eisenhower's Military Industrial Complex!
Just yesterday I saw an X post by Demo'Rat House leader, Hakeem Jeffries, upbraiding GOP conservatives for not wanting to give $billions more to Ukraine, stressing how much Ukraine needs the $$$ to continues its war against Russia. I responded that some Americans prefer peace to continuous war!
I want to stress: America and Europe are announcing plans to bring Ukraine into NATO soonest. The minute that that paper is signed the United States will be at war with Russia❗ That could bring China into the fray as an ally with Russia AND WE WILL BE IN WORLD WAR III🤬
Congress will have no power to stop that and lobby for a Congressional vote as the Constitution demands BECAUSE it will be the consequence of an international treaty that has been accepted by all parties for many decades.❌🤯⤵🚮
This administration has demonstrated it dedication to leading this country into disastrous destructive policies - for reasons best understood by them. Resistance is necessary, not futile.✔ Support MAGA!!!!!!
YEP just like the 51 CIA officials that stated Hunter laptop was Russian Plot!!!
That is quite a list of quisling scum.
