I’ve been pretty clear that I think the Supreme Court is going to find that there is no absolute presidential immunity and that an impeachment is not a prerequisite, but also that presidential immunity does exist for official acts. It is then going to send the case back to the lower court to determine whether specific acts that form the basis of the criminal charges are official acts.

So, what is an "official act"?
Clearly, signing legislation or issuing an executive order would be an "official act".
But what about speaking at a campaign-style rally?



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."
-- Justice Janice Rogers Brown

There would be a big grey zone between private vs official act, imho. Speaking as a candidate would be private. "Vote for me, the other guy is terrible" is campaigning. Promoting policy and advocating citizens tell Congress what they think? Presidents do that all the time as President.

It seems dangerous to me to try to have courts involved in the grey zone between clearly private vs clearly official.

Not a lawyer but it seems obvious to me that “official act” as President is not only extremely broad but also a case of if there is doubt then the tendency would be to label it an official act. Ie, to label it non official would be a high bar and easily articulated. Or it defaults to official. Ie again, dinner is an official act and anything that happens at dinner unless you can easily articulate why it wasn’t. Obvious campaigning or fund raising are the obvious non official moments. Most everything else is protected in my mind.

You don’t want the President not ordering the fish because he thinks it can come back on him. Lol

And the defense keeps digging up more and more witnesses. Fani may even be found to have tried to influence a witness. Sing little birdies, sing.

Democrats missed their window to remove Joe Biden and are probably stuck with him as their candidate.

Had 10 Democrat Governors and Schumer pressured Joe to drop out last summer, it could have severely damaged his position. But no one wanted to split the Democrat Party or cause division.

They knew Biden was weak, and they knew Kamala was even worse than Joe himself, but they "hoped" something else would come through instead:

Fani Willis in Fulton
Alvin Bragg in NYC
Jack Smith in DC
Letitia James in New York
14th Amendment challenges

They hoped lawfare would bankrupt Trump, or send him to prison, or stigmatize him in the minds of voters. None of it has worked.

The only remaining hope for Democrats looking to draft another candidate is post convention, but Biden would have to willingly bow out given DNC delegate rules, or his health would have to fail.

Trump vs Biden is by far the most likely scenario.

And I agree with Kirk- Biden is in it for the long haul. And if not, it will be Harris. No secret agent shit, no Big Mike inserting herself into the race, no diabolical plan for a surprise candidate that will blow everyone away.

Ashleigh Merchant is tearing them a new one one right now in Georgia. Special investigation into Gorilla grip. She has even shown White House connections. Fani is packing bags to Brazil right now if she can find where it is.

MSNBC Cuts Off Trump Victory Speech; Claims It's "Irresponsible" To Broadcast

https://www.zerohedge.com/poli...esponsible-broadcast

MSNBC’s salty anchor Rachel Maddow once again cut away from Donald Trump giving a victory speech after winning 15 of the Super Tuesday states, reasoning that it is “irresponsible to allow” Trump to “knowingly lie.”

So what awful lies was Trump spreading this time?

He was talking about the revelation widely reported everywhere this week following a FOIA lawsuit, that the Biden regime secretly flew in thousands of illegal immigrants from foreign countries to at least 43 different American airports from January through December 2023.

Labelling Biden “the worst president in the history of our country,” Trump added “Today it was announced that 325,000 people were flown in from parts unknown. Migrants were flown in airplanes, not going through borders, not going through that great Texas barrier…”

Trump continued, “today it was just announced before I came out, it was unbelievable. I said, that must be a mistake. They flew 325,000 migrants, flew them in over the borders, in, into our country. So that really tells you where they’re coming from.”

“They want open borders and open borders are going to destroy our country. We need borders and we need free and fair election,” he added.

Wow, what an “irresponsible” thing to “knowingly lie” about. We wouldn’t want Americans to hear about such awful lies now would we.

I am watching a little bit of the Special Investigation.

Merchant did a very good job of research, and she is doing a good job presenting this to the Special Investigation.
