19 Retired Generals, Admirals, and Former Top Defense Officials File Supreme Court Brief Against President Trump’s Immunity Bid, Claiming Trump’s Act “Threatens National Security” – Here Is the List

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.”

Yes, the military aspect looks bleak. Hopefully we are seeing the worst & that there are actually more patriots than we realize.

It has zero weight with MAGA supporters. The one encouraging sign though is MAGA s expanding in size, not contracting like the Democrat side is currently doing. We either pull this off or the nation is gone. What happens after that is yet TBD.

Will be go with a whimper or not. We all need to pray that we are victorious, and then the battle for the soul of this nation must begin in earnest. Starting with bringing the Lord back into society front & center. The founding fathers warned that what they created could not exist without a firm belief in the Lord who created us & everything that surrounds us.

Yeah, Krulak is a surprise. He made Commandant of the USMC and seeing his name among this trash is disheartening.

Nostradamus had this guy's number 400 years ago and told us that he was a sign of the coming apocalypse.

Michael Hayden is and was one of the worst AHs ever to lead the "Intelligence community," and that is a hard thing to do. He got Bill Binney, one of the top analysts in NSA history fired, because they wanted to make money and spy on Americans. Incompetent and evil.

Interesting... and 'evil' is the right word...

I linked the free video in then earlier post. The ICs lie with no shame at all now. They used to tell the truth occasionally, like when the Russians shot down a civilian S Korean airliner with a US congressman aboard. Now apparently US citizens are the enemy. We don’t like a police state ruling us.

Yes, NOT comfortable. White liberal 'elites' are the useful idiots in this drama... and they are really mucking it up for the rest of us.

HA!!!

You are the only other person I have ever seen that realized this!!!! I posted something about it here several years ago.Until this guy came along I thought it meant GHW Bush, Born in Massachucetts = “Ma. Bus”... Since Nostradamus often got a few letters wrong, or just wrote them cryptically.
