What a headline!
Iain MacLean (he/him)đ˛ Did one of them say that out loud instead of using their inside voice?
T.WllmsTrumpâs attorney, John Sauer, tried to convince the judges that unless a president has been convicted by the Senate in a formal impeachment vote, he cannot be criminally prosecuted for actions he took while in office.
The judges appeared skeptical of this line of reasoning.
âYouâre saying a president could sell pardons, could sell military secrets, could order SEAL Team 6 to assassinate a political rivalâ with impunity, said Judge Florence Pan, who was appointed by President Joe Biden.

Itâs such obvious bullshit.
Can you imagine being the appeals attorney reduced to making this argument? You spent decades in school, training, practicing, earning the right to argue before an appeals court, and thatâs what youâve got?
Or his other one about how courts donât sit in judgment of presidents yet in the next breath that same decision notes presidents can be criminally prosecuted?
Im embarrassed for him and I donât even know him.

I canât even imagine what the three judges did-said in chamber after they laughed and laughed and laughed⌠then just stared at each otherâŚ. Wtf nextâŚ
Ciggy Bringer of SmokeNervously chuckling about the sheer audacious absurdity for one of two potential heads of state come 2025 to be in your court making this argument.
