Well, if it isn’t Mr. In Contempt of Congress himself.
On all fronts, the Left has been taking it to the Court as of late. But I’m not sure it matters to the voting public at large.
The first thing the Trump DOJ should do is announce loudly and publicly that they would have no objection to Mexico extraditing Holder to face charges for running guns into Mexico.

Holder worried ...
you should be eric.
being OG and all.
Eric Holder avoided prison because of non-existent DoJ immunity.
But he doesn’t believe in Presidential immunity.
What a scumbag.
if ANYONE deserves to go to jail its that piece of sh*t
âSupreme Court will come to a âdangerousâ conclusion on former President Trumpâs claim of presidential immunity, partly because it has taken time for the justices to reveal their decisionâ
I wouldnât read too much into the timeframe of the decision as being a predictor of the outcome.
You better hope they rule for Trump. Just about every president has some incidents in their administration that could be prosecuted.
âDuring David Frostâs series of interviews with Richard Nixon, Nixon (in)famously said
âwhen the President does it, that means that it is not illegal, by definition.ââ
reader comment:
The context, clearly indicated in your quote, is the Huston Plan, which involved mass surveillance of US citizens, burglary, and even potentially internment camps for “radicals.” It was an assertion that any crime could be committed if it was claimed to be in the national interest (preventing people from making the nation less “peaceful” and “orderly”).
Nixon: “Well, what I, at root I had in mind I think was perhaps much better stated by Lincoln during the War between the States. Lincoln said, and I think I can remember the quote almost exactly, he said, “Actions which otherwise would be unconstitutional, could become lawful if undertaken for the purpose of preserving the Constitution and the Nation.”

President Nixon could have been convicted.
Presidents donât have more immunity than their subordinates such as Eric Holder or Merrick Garland.
Presidents do enjoy a rebuttable presumption that their actions were legal.
Deport Mr. Fast and Furious to Mexico for allowing guns into Mexico which have been used in crimes. No immunity for him either.
Whatâs âdangerousâ to Holder is good for Americans.
Oh yes, you got a fine sister
She warmed my blood from cold
She warmed my blood to boiling hot
To keep you from the gallows pole, pole, pole, pole, yeah, yeah
Your brother brought me silver, and your sister warmed my soul
But now I laugh and pull so hard, see you swinging on the gallows pole, yeah
I am thinking the SC will characterize it as a riot, not the insurrection that the Democrats crafted as a narrative for political purposes and to enable him to be stripped of immunity so they could lawfare him. As a riot that he “failed” to contain, immunity applies because whatever actions he took or did not take as part of his presidential duties are subject to immunity from prosecution. If a DC jury gets ahold of this case, they will convict regardless of the evidence. They are worse than Manhattan juries. So the SC may be calculating, we will kill the whole damned thing here so it never gets to the stage of feeding it to a DC jury
It is only the President who has no protection for their behavior in the elected office?
Is "good behavior" for the Justices limited only to when they are on the bench hearing oral arguments or when they release their rulings?
Is "going to and returning from" Congress an official act of Congress?
So why are enemies of President Trump arguing that the President has no immunities for himself, or that they are so limited in scope to be narrower than even members of Congress and the Supreme Court enjoy?

Trump's J6 words weren't inflammatory.
Trump's base has for years been hardened upon the forge of unceasing, ever increasing outrages.
Biden's base rarely loses so they will rage at every outrage.
When is The Hill going to go out of business?
This guy Holder is an architect of alll this.
I’d love to see that POC** Eric Holder come to his own dangerous conclusion at the end of a piano wire noose.
** that’s “Piece Of Crap”, not “Person Of Color”.
None of this is Eric the Holder’s business. He needs to go back into the men’s room and resume his job as a “holder”. Damn black rasist.
