Democrats Warn: Immunity Decision Will Let Presidents Go After Political Opponents
Breitbart ^ | 07/01/2024 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Posted on 07/01/2024 11:28:50 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Democrats implied Monday that former President Donald Trump could pursue his political opponents, legally, if he returns to the White House, following the Supreme Court’s decision on presidential immunity in Trump v. U.S.

If Trump ever becomes president, immunity wouldn’t matter.

What does matter – American people should start to understand the authoritarian rule which this decision stems.

If a president has seal team 6 kill his political opponents & mark them as official acts .. it’s over!

— Deborah Fortkiewicz (@dfortkiewicz) July 1, 2024

Democratic Party activist and pundit Van Jones warned that the decision granted presidents a “license to thug”:

Van Jones: “I think politically it’s bad. It makes the Supreme Court look very partisan… They look like they’re wearing red jerseys or even MAGA hats… It’s almost like a license to thug.”https://t.co/h11A2q5noa

But you don’t understand. It’s okay when their side does it.

Let’s say that, for whatever reason(s), President Trump and his Administration do not charge the State and Federal officials who used lawfare and other devices to attack President Trump, his staff, and his lawyers. What is to stop any and all individuals harmed by these illegal acts from bringing a Civil Suit against each person? While OJ Simpson was acquitted in the criminal court, a civil court found him guilty, and the award was $33 million. Imagine going after Garland, Weisman, etc. Not just their accumulated wealth, but their pensions as well.

The democrats show the harm caused by the failure of the educational system to teach reading and reading comprehension skills. The left read a couple lines about the decision, and then went ape crazy without actually reading the opinion.

Three of the justices obviously either failed to take those subjects or took them and failed them altogether. They based their dissent on the narrative of leftist media.

Illegal actions, such as murder, kidnapping, bribery, assault, etc, would not be immune acts. Consulting with your legal advisors or exhorting your supporters to peacefully march are not illegal acts.

“Irony is completely lost on these people”

The decision just sheltered Joe Biden from being prosecuted for withholding billions in US Aid to Ukraine until Ukraine fired the prosecutor who was after Hunter.

It does not shelter Biden from prosecution for grabbing tons of classified documents when he was a senator and storing them in his garage.

So it’s a mixed bag.

And there’s still the venue problem. Whether an act was an official act is a question of fact that probably goes to the jury. Any Washington DC jury will convince an R, regardless and will acquit a D, regardless.

So the deep state still holds the whip hand in the banana republic.

“So many Leftist bots on X now, all run by the same person or persons, as they post seemingly in unison.”


I think they are DNC paid posters and copy/paste the talking points received in regards to whatever political issue is at the forefront of the news.

Absent a special statute of limitations, the general federal statute for noncapital crimes is five years. So Joe was in the clear long ago on that particular Ukraine piece of the family influence peddling business

I look forward to the ‘exploding Leftist heads’ when Trump takes office 1.20.2025 and starts terminating the employment of ‘deep state hacks’.

“do unto others as they have done unto you” applies. would LOVE to see liberal judges standing trial for abdication and abrogation of Constitutional laws and oaths to keep and defend said constitution. I can dream...

Taking out the trash will be an important task for President Trump. It will be done legally and with immunity.

No fooling! This decision actually tries to put a stop to it. And was only brought about because of it.

They all have the mental capacity of a 2-4 years old denying what ‘e is standing over.

They are in denial as always. “Someday” “some politician” will commit lawfare against their recent and future rival. Imagine that./S

Napoleon Hill (author of Think and Grow Rich) was asked for help at his office by a poorly dressed man who said he was down on his luck and didn’t know how to get back on his feet.
After talking with him a few minutes Hill said “Would you come with me down the hall? I want you to see a man who could solve all your problems.” He took the man to a full length mirror and said “That’s the one right there.”

Dems would never recognize themselves as the lawfare culprits in that mirror.
