Using guess what well the 25th Amendment mental Fitness be going into all this first special Council Smith wants the DC appeals court to not hear of any motions and to drop any decisions on whether president Donald Trump had presidential immunity for the January 6 case and this could actually have a sweeping impact
Not only on the many criminal charges against Trump but also on potential future charges against President Joe Biden and many other former presidents this is currently going to the US appeals court in D and oral arguments on the case while they’re set for January 9th meaning this is all moving through
Right now it seems like regardless of this the appeals court decision with all that it’s either going to lose either losing side really in this case is going to try to bring the case to the Supreme Court and so it looks like this all going to the Supreme Court is inevitable
At this point now first off let me show you special Council Council Jack Smith’s claim here’s what he wrote in the filing he said this for the first time in our nation’s history a grand jury has charged a former president it’s his grand jury by the way has charged a
Former president with committing crimes while in office to overturn an election that he lost in response the defendant claims that to protect the institution of the presidency he must be cloaked with absolute immunity from Criminal prosecution unless the house impeached and the Senate convicted him for these
Same conduct he is wrong according to Jack Smith Jack Smith says separation of power principles constitutional text history and precedent all make clear that a former president may be prosecuted for criminal acts he commits while in office including most critically here a legal acts to remain in power despite losing an election now
Look all this is debatable personally I’d say a lot of what Smith said in there isn’t isn’t to true but uh of course you know the Supreme Court’s going to be the one to decide all this and appeals courts before that Smith has been saying basically that presidential
Immunity is more just on civil matters and does not apply to more serious crimes that’s the general suggestion and he’s suggesting of course that you know it’s not just for the Senate to hear it’s not just for the Supreme Court to hear and so on like that he’s saying
That even you know a grand jury brought by a special counsel like him uh could just make this kind of determination now personally I’d say if this were the case if a president was just you know only had immunity when it came to civil matters then a president’s ability to
Pardon criminals would also be limited to just civil matters and not to more serious crimes like Smith suggests and remember you had like Obama pardoning major criminals including terrorists who killed police officers like the Weather Underground now Trump has been challenging the disputes on his presidential immunity
I’ll be talking more about this in the deeper implications of what it means if he doesn’t have immunity especially to Biden I’ll also be giving updates on the Trump ballot disqualification case in Maine and the campaign to remove Biden from the ballot using the 25th Amendment
But all this is going to be after the jump to Epic TV uh before we jump we have a new documentary coming out it’s the real story of January 6 part two it’s going to be coming out this Saturday on January 6 it’s going to be
Very big I think it’s going to have just as much of an impact as the first one we did be sure you don’t miss out on this the link to that is in the description below and in the live chat let me show you the biggest investigation in FBI
History there are more than 1100 arrests I sacrific my dream job to share this information with the American people those involved must be held accountable he’s an innocent man it’s going to change narratives no matter what your political perspective is
