They’d said it before, but President Trump's attorney put it more bluntly than ever. “Temporary presidential immunity,” in the way the President’s lawyers describe it, would mean a president couldn’t be investigated or prosecuted while holding the office.

"We're asking for temporary presidential immunity," Jay Sekulow told the Supreme Court Tuesday."Temporary presidential immunity," in the way the President's lawyers describe it, would mean that Trump couldn't be investigated or prosecuted while holding the office of President. No subpoenas, no testimony, no indictments, if investigators sought those."Criminal process targeting the President" violates the Constitution, Sekulow said.

Supreme Court debates Trump's ability to keep financial information and taxes secretThe theory has popped up over and over again in the last three years, while special counsel Robert Mueller considered subpoenaing Trump; when the Justice Department weighed the evidence that Trump obstructed the Russia investigation; when the Senate took up Trump's impeachment proceeding; and now with the New York district attorney's investigation into him.

Um yeah, that’s a hard no for me

Everybody in Trumps administration, are a bunch scammers, and bums !!!

BULLSHIT!!

Dictatorship.

I pray this never happens to any president but now especially the nazi loving Trump

“Presidential Immunity” is the least patriotic thing you can say if you believe in anything our country was built upon.

Ok so we start January 2021 with enough lawsuits to put him away for life.

So now they are saying Trump is a king? deplorable what happened to the checks and balance of our constitution

We need truth, The whole truth

Attorney Deuce Bigelow is as crazy as his client.

Baa haa simpson

Only the guilty need immunity. Well...After November 3, 2020, they can send trump’s a** up the river behind bars. VOTE BLUE 💙💙💙💙💙!!!!!!!!!!!!

Empty boxes

Dont you ask for immunity only if you're in some deep shit

Not going to happen. The moron king is on his way down and it's absolutely glorious to watch. WorstPresidentInHistory

😳😳😳😳😳you’ve GOT to be kidding🤯

Fake News

So any President is above the law while President. Trump and future presidents can do whatever they want for 4 maybe 8 years. That does not sound like a reasonable plan.

Why does he need immunity? Only criminals request immunity.

Why would a President need temporary immunity? Is he planning on breaking the law? I don’t need it I’m just a civilian, not sure why he does, other than to protect himself from prosecution

What’s he hiding now!

Perhaps we should not elect people to be president that are liars, cheaters and corrupt members of society. Cult45

Hell - we can’t even BEGIN an investigation in to Joe Biden or Hunter Biden and they are private citizens.........why are the double standards so F-ING BAD on the left?!

Ever consider changing your name from CNN to SCUM? The change would make for a better fit.

That would make 45 tempoarily above the law

This serial liar in chief works FOR us, we don't work for him.

Why are realDonaldTrump lawyers suggesting immunity if their client is as upstanding and honest as their client claims to be? Or maybe he is just a slimy crook and knows it.

No. President. Shall. Be. Immune. To. The. Law. Got that realDonaldTrump ?

Somebody tell these fools Trump didn’t get a vaccine that prevented him from the rule of law.

Like Obama’s temporary immunity from the Fast and Furious operation to give Mexican drug cartels guns. But I guess we can finally investigate that now. Treason

What the fuck

Executive CNN is an embarrassment to the media

Watch the Indictments against realDonaldTrump be Unsealed the day he is removed as POTUS

What about all of the co-conspirators associates with the crimes ?

F*** me look at CNN and all the TDS tweets. You tried everything from fake news, hoaxes, impeachment and fake crimes and you still havent won. Wake up, you cant beat the truth with your crimes and fake news. Stop distracting people from the real danger of tbe Deep State

Why does he need that? He's done nothing wrong and everything right, let him tell it.

Unbelievable...this is the first step to total dictatorship. realDonaldTrump is following in the footsteps of his mentor Putin. WorstPresidentInHistory DictatorTrump

Sorry but that is not a thing

They’re trying to give the right-wing Justices a lifeline. A way to support their case while appearing (to whom I’m not sure) to maintain integrity.

😂

So pres crybaby, who takes credit for every success and shirks responsibility for any failure is begging and pleading for 100% immunity...from WHAT? Jackass knows he’s corrupt and has broken every fucking law in the book. But we’re to believe his worshipers are constitutionalists

Obama spyed liberals lied

Sue him for the 80k deaths. Negligence.

Ask the President’s lawyer how that legal system would work in a Hitler situation.

clickbait ... misleading headline and context is totally missing in the whole article.

He is NOT above the law.

Crooks.

NO!

Temporary.. LOL! Hide them for as long as he's in office. Must be real shady. Russia.. Broke

This becomes an issue for the constitution to resolve if a President is unable or unfit to continue. It is clearly written, isn’t it?

The correct response to this request should be...

We don't need a king or dictator or whatever he wishes to be. This is why he should be voted out and the law should changed to precisely state how a president, Democrat or Republican, should be held accountable for her or his actions.

When that happened cuz I saw the entire presiding and he never said that

The argument is ridiculous on its face. It just gets more ludicrous the more you see how it would play out.

To skip town?

Jmo, he is not the teflon don

Is cnn a propagandist outfit for the democrat party?

So he could kill someone and not be investigated?

So, according to them, presidents can't be investigated while in office. Did they not teach Watergate while they were in law school or at all?

That's an insane idea. A president can't be prosecuted for crimes while president aside from impeachment. But to even get to impeachment generally involves investigation. Their argument is ridiculous and can't be allowed.

I sure hope that's BULLSHIT.

BS.

I bet they are

'Temporary presidential immunity!' 'Just been revoked!!'

Really makes you wonder how bad the information in those returns is!

Wtf. Bs.

Hahaha

djt doesn't want to be accountable to elected representatives

No more investigations needed. Trump's ineptitude during pandemic sufficient to drive him from office.

What a joke, the nonsensical accusations on Trump by the democrats throughout the past 3 years should the focus.

What's left then is to rely on a conviction by 'Permanent Presidential Stupidity' in the court of Covid-19!

I demand temporary citizen immunity.

Sounds like a big fat guilty plea to me

Does that apply to all Americans - temporary immunity - from an alleged crime? If not, then it's very unpatriotic to suggest.

Ah and if he stays in office for life? (See I'm always the next step ahead)

January indictments it is then

And permanent judicial insanity

🕳️

He thinks he's above the law, he pictures himself as a king. Who lost by 3 million votes.

And he’s saying it with a straight face. That’s high priced talent.

As a president, you have to belong to a certain club to have immunity for your crimes.

'Temporary presidential immunity' 😂😂😂

. . . the case is a Dictator's tactic to see if 'We The People' can go for another Hitler . . . 👽

Will never leave now ..

ObamaGate

Nonsense..people of America revolt...demand Trump's tax returns?

All Democrats want is something to be Trump with. I think the Supreme Court sees this

I could have lived the rest of my life fine without seeing this asshole ever again.

The ghost of Richard M. Nixon is NOT amused ....

And Clarence Thomas is like 'Yep, sure, you guys deserve it!'

the usurper's minion!!
