Trump's Absolute Immunity: S/C Smith & Former Military Officials Go to SCOTUS

Military-DOD officials against Trump immunity

SC Smith argues against immunity 
(Part II)

What follows is an exceptional MSNBC show segment along with a video presentation from many high ranking officers and DOD officials (top slide) to the U.S. Supreme Court regarding their request for them not to approve Trump’s request for absolute immunity from prosecution on the charges he now faces.

Those crimes were during and after he left office as president and ever since he lost the 2020 election to President Joe Biden in November 2020.

The two other slides above are in addition to the same subject addressed above in the video presentation below. 

Those two extracts are part of S/C Jack Smith’s rebuttal to the U.S. Supreme Court in which Trump seeks absolute immunity claim and which Smith filed on April 8, seen here from ABC News and here from CNN.

Introduction of the segment and expert legal opinions below: The two major opinions are from former top prosecutor at the DOJ, Andrew Weissmann, and former DEM Senator from MO, Claire McCaskill, who both join Nicolle Wallace on her MSNBC’s “Deadline White House” segment.

That all ties in with reaction to a new letter urging the Supreme Court to reject the Trump Immunity question from nearly two dozen retired and high ranking military officers and DOD officials who raise their concerns that a favorable decision from the court to Trump could upend America’s standing as protector of democracy around the world and hurt the military overall should Trump win his absolute immunity claim.

The MSNBC video is 7 minutes and 30 seconds. It is worth your time to watch and hopefully agree with the contents as well:

Thanks for stopping by.
