You're right, but now the term is being used with "pre-emptive " pardons. Also, I was suggesting that the attack on the headline use of the word "alleged" is accurate as to those who are newly preemptively pardoned.

There have been no federal convictions of any of these pardoned people. The closest they came was to be named as “unindicted co-conspirators”. Many of the pardoned people still have pending state court actions against them, but Trump cannot pardon a person from state court criminal liability.

This very much feels like advocacy for this invasion of privacy. Why does Welker think this is appropriate? Should we start a campaign to force HER to turn over all of her loan documents, all of her payroll expense account statements, all of her political contributions, all of her investments?

This is the problem with the media focus on “where does crime exist at what levels”, or exercises in “whataboutism”. The existential question is whether we have local police address crime, or the military. Sending the military is WRONG and ILLEGAL, no matter how much crime there is.

We The People will stand strong!!!

Bove’s arrogance is appalling. he’s attempting to extend the Trump immunity argument to all levels of government (federal state and local) in their executive and police functions. It it “interferes” with their jobs they cannot be prosecuted. Bullshit!

The Southern California congressmen who voted yes on the immigration bill either just flipped a republican seat this past election or close general election win. I am appalled by most of the provisions of the bill so I am disappointed by my congressman’s vote (Levin) but I understand the politics.

Lock on the “upstairs” phone.

You appear to have the wrong idea of what “sovereign immunity” is. It does not make the president immune from criminal prosecution. The concept is that a government is immune from civil suit unless that government has enacted a law making itself potentially liable under the claims of the suit.

Yes, you should
