Trump posted on Fact Social, “I wasn’t campaigning, the Election was over. I was doing my duty as President to expose and further investigate a Rigged and Stolen Election. It was my obligation to do so, and the proof found is voluminous and irrefutable. Therefore, among other reasons, of course I am entitled to IMMUNITY. ADDITIONALLY, I DID NOTHING WRONG. Stop the Witch Hunt NOW!”
Constitutionally talking, the presidency has no investigative powers. Congress has oversight authority. The president has no position in administering or overseeing elections. Trump had no energy or the authority to ‘investigate’ something.
Elections aren’t part of official presidential duties.
The courts have persistently dominated that Trump was performing as a candidate contesting an election. The proof for these rulings is that the trouble to overturn the election was working via the Trump marketing campaign. Trump himself persistently acknowledged that the election was not over and he was combating the outcomes.
In his Fact Social freak out, Trump is admitting that the election was over and that he was making an attempt to remain in energy illegally.
Trump’s social media submit is a present to Particular Counsel Jack Smith as a result of whereas making an attempt to justify immunity, the now-former president is admitting that he knew that the election was over however continued to attempt to keep in energy through the use of the facility of the presidency to stress election officers in states like Michigan, Nevada, and Georgia.
With out even realizing it, Trump gave a giant reward to prosecutors and strengthened their felony instances in opposition to him.
Merry Christmas to all, and to Trump, a speedy trial.
