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.”

Patton would threaten to shoot every one of these perfumed princes.
THOSE SAME OFFICIALS ARE NOT CONCERNED WITH BIDEN’S BOXES ALL AROUND HIS CORVETTE???
“Patton would threaten to shoot every one of these perfumed princes.”
Little doubt of that.
They need to lose their pensions and rank - reactivate them and strip them of everything. Conduct unbecoming includes lying through your teeth to the American people in order to influence an election.
Folks referred to him as “Gay Ray” when he was governor. Got married to kill the rumors. His wife had to look elsewhere for male companionship; he got her episcopal priest to testify against her, using her spiritual confessions to the priest,in the divorce proceedings.
Really fine upstanding citizen all around.
They couldn’t come up with 51 this time? Huh.
This is what treason and cowardice looks like. If it indeed was that heinous of a crime at the time, they chose to do nothing.
A good start ofon a list of never to be hired again folks.
Hmm, just like those 51 “intelligence community” figures that said Hunter’s laptop was Russian disinfo.🤔
At this point our current top US military officers and the retired appear to be nothing more than radical leftist or globalists on someone else’s payroll and defending and protecting the USA is the least of their concerns.
My God we don’t have anyone looking out for the people or the country in the bureaucracy, among the elected officials, and now its clear not even in the US military. Their contempt and traitorous behavior is unbelievable.
19 out of the thousands.
Police get partial immunity. Judges and prosecutors get full immunity. Congress gets immunity for anything whatsoever that they say in their House. But it is outrageous that Trump gets any sort of immunity from frivolous charges.
Each of the signatories lists details of their military service in the brief, but none of them identify their service on any corporate boards seeking to do business with the current administration or offer to resign from those boards to remove any appearance of impropriety or of seeking political favor or stipulate that they are willing to make public all communication with other representatives of those corporations prior to the brief being filed.
I do not expect the media to ask.
They are complicit in TRTING TO DESTROY THIS GREAT COUNTRY.
Is it even known exactly what documents are being referred to?
The same ones that lied about fake Russia collusion. They should be tried and sentenced
And shot at dawn by firing squad
Chuck Krulak?!
Are these clowns Obozo’s people????????
