Fascinating stuff.

Does anyone think that giving a President immunity from crimes committed while in office is any way shape or form a good idea?

Depends.

There is a valid case to be made the duties performed as a function of the Office, should not lead to criminal prosecution.

However there are two other situations. There is conduct as a candidate seeking office and conduct as an individual not related to the official duties to the office nor related to the campaign.

There does need to be a degree of Presidential immunity as it relates to functions of the Office of the President. But immunity to the Office should not extend to campaign activities which are not a function of the office or activities performed as an individual.

Trump’s attorney argued that if a president ordered his military to assainate a pollical opponent, and he isn’t impeached for it, there is no crime.

No. But politicking be politicking.

And this is why no one can take Trumps legal team seriously.

By their logic nothing to stop a President just randomly shooting members of the WH press corp when they ask a question they do not like?

The President could indulge in sex with children, no crime, rapes someone live on TV no crime.

Heck they could get the entire SC assassinated so they can replace them 100% with their choices

Though of course they could be impeached but if that fails then they have a blank check to do anything.

He’s scared.

His lawyers are arguing that Biden could be prosecuted for trying to “stop this man from becoming President of the United States.”

what happened to that Presidential immunity they were just arguing about?

Clowns.

Super interesting isn’t it?

Best guess is Appeals Court stays Chutkan’s ruling and probably quickly.

If Appeals Court is unanimous I don’t think Supreme Court even takes it up.

And we would be on to the J6 Trial in March, maybe April.

Yeah I have no training as a lawyer and I think I could do a better job.

Geez - he’s not looking too good these days. Kind of reminds me of looking at my dad in his later years when he was having a bad hangover.

Can Biden be indicted for aiding aliens in entering the US illegally?

Not if Trump’s legal team has anything to say about it.

According to Trump and his band of lawyers a president basically has total immunity while in office - so Trump’s answer would have to be no to remain consistent.

Do you agree with Trump’s lawyers?

…means if you’re on the side of Donald Trump…you’re guilty. There’s no need for this hearing. It was over before it began. Let the appeal begin…
