Robert Tsai 
What a headline!
Michael Gemar@roberttsai @NewsDesk Biden might want to take advantage of that…
C.J.H.3 💀🪿🥚🐐@michaelgemar @roberttsai @NewsDesk yup, if this argument holds up, Biden calls Seal Team 6 the very next day, right?
ehurtley 
@Conville @michaelgemar @roberttsai @NewsDesk Democrats control the Senate. Democrats control more than 1/3 of the House. By Trump’s reasoning, Biden could immediately order the killing of Trump, every major Republican candidate for president, every Republican governor, every Republican Senator and Representative, and even if they are all replaced by Republicans immediately, if Democrats didn’t agree to impeach/convict, he’s fine.
rrb@michaelgemar @roberttsai @NewsDesk
I have been hoping that the SCOTUS agree with this idea and Biden immediately has the 5 execrable Justices sent to Guantanamo.
Robert Taylor@roberttsai Hear that Joe!?!
WideEyedCurious 🇺🇸 💙 🇺🇦 & 🇨🇦@roberttsai Did they really think that would be a winning agreement?

Crystal_Fish_Caves@Chip_Unicorn @roberttsai I think the guy on the left is praying to God he is not collateral damage when tRump is hit by lightening.
@Chip_Unicorn @roberttsai it is incomprehensible tRump is not gagged & imprisoned
Iain MacLean (he/him)😲 Did one of them say that out loud instead of using their inside voice?
T.WllmsTrump’s 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.
“You’re saying a president could sell pardons, could sell military secrets, could order SEAL Team 6 to assassinate a political rival” with impunity, said Judge Florence Pan, who was appointed by President Joe Biden.

It’s 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 that’s what you’ve got?
Or his other one about how courts don’t 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 don’t even know him.

I can’t even imagine what the three judges did-said in chamber after they laughed and laughed and laughed… then just stared at each other…. Wtf next…
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.
Trump lawyers, erudite, need to get a pair. They knowingly obstructed justice by backing crazy stuff from trump cesspool in front of the justices in DC, who command the same veneration as by Scotus.
Lunatech@roberttsai So is he just out there suggesting that Joe Biden can assassinate him and that will be covered by presidential immunity? Damn, if that's the case...
Seriously, I think this is just another indication that he is suffering from progressive dementia, first because he even believes this, but second, even if he does believe it why would he be putting that out there now when he's not in power? Does he think he's going to be ressurrected if someone kills him?
I sure hope the Surpreme Court justices will take note of this if/when they decide any cases on the limits of presidential immunity!
#executiveimmunity
It was mind blowing listening to this....
Lorq Von Ray@roberttsai Well then Joe Biden should be briefing Seal Team 6 just in case the decision goes Trumps way, huh?
Havyhh2@roberttsai .....hahaha....can't make it up!!
RojCowlesHave to see if The Onion can top this. Doubt it.

MrRaccoonOk. Listen, Joe. You are in charge.
Juggling With Eggs@roberttsai before the arrival of Trump on the political scene, this headline would have belonged in a dystopian novel. The sad truth is the shock value which it should hold (for it describes the epitome of a fascist regime) has been drained by years of Trump’s constant batshit verbal utterings.
How does the US protect itself from a rogue ex-President seeking re-election? Are we witnessing the constitutional cogs whirring into protective action? If not, then how? The stakes cannot be ignored.
xs4me2FFS… lock this lunatic up, and remove his gang from the bar…
Or tell Joe he has Carte Blanche now!
Canadian Crone@roberttsai So Biden could assassinate #Tfg
Mrs Cloudy@roberttsai is he imagining something like a pensioner version of the hunger games?

@infosec_jcp 🐈🃏 done differentlyDidn't he telegraph this before on his quotables before he was elected.... also waaaaaaay before he launched his Telegraph Social, didn't he, about '5th Ave and Shootings' , etc, in NYC?
Edit: Yep. 2016

The only reason to make this argument is to present it as a legal flaw that needs to be fixed.

rg4w@roberttsai Totally normal. I'm sure that's exactly what the Founders had intended. /s
Benjamin Hendricks@roberttsai that's quite the theory - I wonder if that also covers assassination of, say, federal judges on apellate courts
GdKramer@roberttsai he wants to be just like Putin
Koire@roberttsai if you listen to prosecuting Donald trump, the whole thing was very surreal. I don't want to believe there are people who literally do anything for money, but how can you stand up in court in front of a judge and say "the president can assassinate someone and they're not liable for it" with a straight face.

Wilhoit's law: “Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

Jari Komppa 🇫🇮@roberttsai maybe it's a cry for help?
Oatmeal Raisin“Sauer later argued the threat of prosecution could have a chilling effect on future presidents’ decisions, saying they would need to look over their shoulder and ask, “Am I going to jail for this?” when making controversial decisions.”
In a perfect world, laws would have chilling effects. :-)

Hey, Joe, where you going with that gun in your hand?

Michael Vilain@roberttsai So, does that mean that once Trump is nominated, he, his family, his security team, and their families need to find a bolt hole to hid in, because if Trump can assassinate his rivals, so can Biden.
And there's no place on this planet where a group that large could hide without some security gap. Trump could throw everyone but his security team under the bus, but the team still has family and loved ones. He'd best pick the lamp post he wants his body to hang from, along with the rest of his team.
