Trump Lawyer Claims Presidential Immunity Covers Having Rivals Assassinated
Attorneys for The Twice Impeached, 4 times indicted, Criminal Defendant Donald Trump laid out an absurd benchmark for presidential immunity during a hearing before D.C.’s federal appeals court.
Donald Trump is in D.C. on Tuesday sitting in on an appeals court hearing regarding his claim of “absolute immunity” from criminal prosecution for acts he may or may not have committed as president. The arguments are already getting absurd.
Judge Florence Y. Pan, a member of the three-appellate judge panel that will rule on the question, asked Trump’s attorney, John Sauer, if — hypothetically — a president could order S.E.A.L. Team Six to assassinate their political rival and be immune from criminal prosecution.
Sauer responded that the hypothetical president would “have to be speedily impeached and convicted” before a criminal prosecution could occur.
“I asked you a yes or no question,” Pan pressed. “Could a president who ordered S.E.A.L. Team 6 to assassinate a political rival, [who was] not impeached, would he be subject to criminal prosecution?”
Judge: “Could a president who ordered SEAL Team 6 to assassinate a political rival who was not impeached … be subject to criminal prosecution?”
Judge: “Your answer is no?”

And even THIS will NOT sway people from voting for this traitor…some will vote for him ‘just because’ others will vote just so the Dems loose another vote….this is NOT a game people…it is YOUR country…you need to take responsibility for it and pay attention to what this magot is doing. If the country has ever had a more serious inflection point in its history, this is the most serious and dire. VOTE!!
