U.S. presidents cannot be prosecuted for selling pardons or assassinating political rivals through SEAL Team Six, personal Trump lawyer John Sauer argued Tuesday.
U.S. presidents cannot be prosecuted for selling pardons or assassinating political rivals through SEAL Team Six, personal Trump lawyer John Sauer argued Tuesday.
“Unless they’re impeached and convicted by the Senate.”
Bc they know even Dems would convict Joe for murder but they would never do it to one of their own.
GOP is going to coup the shit out of us in the near future.
the point they’re trying to make here is that, because Trump was acquitted by the Senate, this prosecution would amount to double jeopardy.
They made that case because he wasn’t convicted. As a lawyer, you play as many cards as you have. They know it’s bs, we know it, and the judges know it too.
I’m saying that if the argument worked, hypothetically, they would use it as removed cudgel and a shield.
oh, sure. I’m not sayin their argument is valid, just why they made it.
Didn’t the Republicans argue to acquit because “the courts should decide”?
