‘For all practical purposes this is absolute immunity’ says law professor

Today the Supreme Court ruled that presidents are entitled to absolute immunity for official acts while in office. Former president Trump is calling that a victory as he faces prosecution for federal election interference. Andrea Michell is joined by Harvard Law professor emeritus Lawrence Tribe, who talks about the real dangers of this ruling.

Great plan ❤

[@jeffi854]

Yeah , who would’ve ever thought they would go to and use the highest court in the land with the brightest minds to actually render a decision in this case. Every president in U.S. history has taken top secret and classified documents with them when they leave office. Unlike some who’ve never had a top secret or classified documents clearance to possess , take , hold such top secret and classified documents . And if I remember just recently it was discovered that a man named Joe Biden stole top secret and classified documents by stuffing them down the front of his pants to smuggle them out of a secure Skiff . Throughout Joe Biden’s fifty yrs of being a career politician he willfully, knowingly, intentionally and blatantly stole top secret and classified documents from more than fifty yrs . Hmmm 🤔 one just might call that a crime ! But we’ll see because I don’t think that one’s over yet. Not only did Biden knowingly steal these documents and had them in his possession he had amassed well over four hundred boxes of top secret and classified documents he now says his staff moved and he did know anything about. Hmmm 🤔 another huge problem for Joe Biden because not only did he not have a top secret security clearance to be able to possess these top secret documents neither did any of his staff or his son Hunter who was directly working with and was business partners with a communist Chinese national who had direct ties to the communist Chinese CCP ! But na that’s not against the law. And you want to go after a man Trump for taking top secret documents like every other US president before him took after leaving office really. Like the Congressional judicial oversight committees not done with dealing with this one yet. Like you say nobody’s above the law.
