Things are moving fast, folks.
Yesterday the U.S. Supreme Court handed down its ruling on partial – note, partial – presidential immunity. President Biden mumbled through a short speech – no questions, please, I have dementia – objecting to the case and insisting, “No one is above the law.” Then, putting himself far above the law, he imprisoned top Trump adviser Steve Bannon on phony charges for not appearing before the Liz Cheney’s Jan. 6 Kangaroo Kommittee. Bannon will be out of action until Nov. 1, four days before the election.
Biden obviously didn’t read the decision. I’m not a legal scholar, just a cranky opinion writer. But a friend of mine who is a lawyer and constitutional scholar explained the majority decision, written by Chief Justice Roberts: “Basically, the decision says there is limited immunity and sends the case back to the district court to develop the record. The issue of private versus official acts. The concurrence by Thomas agrees, but raises the issue of whether Jack Smith is a legitimate special counsel in the first place.”
Here’s the key section right at the front of Trump v. United States:
Held: Under our constitutional structure of separated powers, the nature of Presidential power entitles a former President to absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions within his conclusive and preclusive constitutional authority. And he is entitled to at least presumptive immunity from prosecution for all his official acts. There is no immunity for unofficial acts.
Note the decision concerns only “official acts…. There is no immunity for unofficial acts.” But Justice Sotomayor, in her dissent, actually insisted:
When he uses his official powers in any way, under the majority’s reasoning, he now will be insulated from criminal prosecution. Orders the Navy’s Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune.
How stupid. Those are not official acts. She wrote that on the same day Biden imprisoned Bannon! And earlier imprisoned Peter Navarro, another Trump adviser, and one of my sources on economics when he was a professor at the University of California, Irvine.
And of course, we know Biden, and Obama before him, “organized a coup” in the form of using the national security establishment against Trump. Remember the Russiagate Hoax, which the Durham Report proved was organized by Hillary and the FBI? Or how about the 51 “former” intelligence officials saying Hunter Biden’s laptop was “Russian disinformation” – which the FBI had to admit was not true at Hunter’s recent trial? Or all these fake cases against Trump? As to bribes, well, that’s Biden’s whole career.
As to a president who violates the Constitution, Congress has the power to impeach him, and remove him for power. Just a couple of years back, Trump was impeached, but not removed from office, for inquiring about Joe Biden’s vast corruption involving Hunter’s involvement in Ukraine, especially the Burisma energy company. The impeachment helped elect Joe, who then promptly provoked Russia into invading Ukraine to prevent Biden from putting nuclear missiles in the country 300 miles from Moscow. And, yes, that was the plan. Here’s former top CIA Russian specialist Ray McGovern writing in May:
For example, Xi is aware — just as surely as consumers of Western media are unaware — that during a Dec. 30, 2021, telephone conversation, Biden assured Putin that “Washington had no intention of deploying offensive strike weapons in Ukraine.”
Foreign Minister Lavrov revealed last month that when he met Antony Blinken in Geneva in January 2022, the U.S. secretary of state pretended he’d not heard of Biden’s undertaking to Putin on Dec. 30, 2021. Rather, Blinken insisted that U.S. medium-range missiles could be deployed in Ukraine, and only that the U.S. might be willing to limit their number, Lavrov said.
So this horrible war happened, and we all could get nuked because of it, so the Biden regime could put in Ukraine nukes that could hit Moscow in 3 minutes and “decapitate” Putin – with Joe’s zombied finger on the Nuclear Button.
And the fun will continue. Next up: July 11 is the sentencing date for Trump in the absurd business records case. He could go to prison like Bannon and Navarro before him. And who knows how many others will follow him into the slammer in the coming months and years.
Maybe you, dear reader.
I wouldn't want to be a crooked Democrat after Bannon gets out of a four month imposed legal study.
