Trump’s Claim That He Can’t Be Prosecuted Collides With Precedents

[BidenPresident]

Among the bold claims in the motion filed last week by former President Donald J. Trump seeking to dismiss the federal indictment accusing him of conspiring to undermine the 2020 election, there was a significant concession. The key Supreme Court precedent the motion relied on for claiming “absolute immunity” from criminal prosecution, his lawyers acknowledged, did not address criminal prosecutions.

The motion cited the 1982 precedent, Nixon v. Fitzgerald, at least 40 times over 52 pages. But that decision merely held that a former president is immune from lawsuits in civil cases — ones from private litigants seeking money — and then only if the suits concerned conduct “within the ‘outer perimeter’ of his official responsibility.”

How so? He was the president when he allegedly conspired to "... undermine the 2020 election..." was he not?

The presidential immunity concept applies to official acts. Conspiring to overthrow the government would not be considered an official act assigned to a president. I can’t believe that has to be explained to you.

The white hero or better still ZERO,, ie Trump that racist rednecks want running this country, are the same exact racist rednecks that gave Obama hell for a simple fist bump to his wife and wearing a tan suit.... in thier racist little minds, he showed disrespect for this fucked up racist country, but check what Trump has said, and these brain dead fucks is all right this bullshit.....
Trumps praising our enemies:
Hezbollah-- Very Smart
Xi--Very smart man
Putin--A genuis and very savvy
Kim-- Great leader
This traitorist bastard, white motherfuckers want running this country, because having supreme authority over ppl of color is more important to these racist white fuckes than having leadership that is respected. May every person that supports Trump rot in fuckin hell!!

But, but, but, he won the election so he was just trying in his official capacity to stop an injustice to the American people, well, that’s what Sean said

Already been found guilty for conspiring to fraud investors, borrowers, and the IRS, so that’s not true, and hard to believe that Trump’s defense that he really believed he won the election will stand up given all the personal accounts of his closest friends, family, and allies
