Nineteen retired generals, admirals, and former top civilian defense officials have filed a brief with the U.S. Supreme Court, opposing former President Donald Trump’s plea for immunity from prosecution, claiming that granting such a request would pose a significant threat to national security.
The Supreme Court is set to deliberate on Trump’s presidential immunity argument on April 25, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.
The Supreme Court will deliberate on whether a president can be shielded from legal consequences for actions taken while in office. The decision, which may not arrive until late June, according to analysts, has significant repercussions for the timeline of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s case against Trump, potentially delaying the trial’s start until after the 2024 election.
President Trump’s legal team requested the Supreme Court to put a hold on the immunity decision related to Jack Smith’s January 6 case in Washington, D.C. This came after a federal appeals court, influenced by appointees of Joe Biden, had denied Trump immunity.
The three-judge panel of the DC Circuit Court of Appeals, consisting of Judges Florence Pan, Michelle Childs (both Biden appointees), and Karen Henderson (a George W. Bush appointee), emphasized the importance of allowing the prosecution to move forward, citing the public’s interest and the structure of the government.
Trump’s lawyers have fervently argued that a former president is immune from federal prosecution for alleged offenses committed while holding office.
“In 234 years of American history, no president ever faced criminal prosecution for his official acts. Until 19 days ago, no court had ever addressed whether immunity from such prosecution exists,” Trump’s lawyers wrote, according to CBS News. “To this day, no appellate court has addressed it. The question stands among the most complex, intricate, and momentous issues that this Court will be called on to decide.”

Here we go again, gotta give the corrupt deep state credit, they won’t ever stop, until they are stopped.
The Demon Driven Rarely Sleep
19 pieces of sh*t, who upon president Trump taking office once again, need to be called back to active duty, busted down to private, and sent to prison for traitorous activity.
There needs to be a personal price paid by these agents of the deep state trying to manipulate elections and abuse authority.
*THEY* need to be made to feel pain individually. "Pour encourager les autres."
But they just love Biden.
Drive by’s. Won’t face an election coming up and they’re invisible. What do these charges haver to do with national security?
Payback will be the firing of all generals and admirals above 2 stars, maybe even one. They can thank these people for it.
I recognize very few of the names. The number also pales compared to the numbers that exist.
Retired..................
Those people live outside the law.. They make their own. Except for the SC, they have every safeguard the founders gave us, against an abusive government..,
They have taken control t ol, and prisoners from jan 6 is their warning shot, to keep us quiet.
These are the last days of earth time.. Israel being attacked.. God wins.. But there is an interim..
More members of The Democrat Party Organized Crime Syndicate.
Of Course Michael Hayden is one. He was one of the 51 former intelligence chiefs that signed the prior letter vs. Trump. They really have to be scared that his retribution will be total. Sick of these people crawling out of their comfy homes to try to denigrate Trump.
Of course, Biden‘s open border doesn’t threaten America’s security.
What National Security ? the democrats and probably these idiots more than likely sold everything anyway
Traitors, liars and ignorant fools, all.
I wonder if their pensions were threatened , or if they were bribed to file this brief by the 0’Biden regime, or if they were communist dupes from the start who infiltrated the halls of the Pentagon long before Trump with the intent of destroying the nation that they were supposed to be protecting.
Eisenhower’s warnings regarding the “military-industrial complex” hold true today...maybe even more-so.
That was one of the names I recognized, and perhaps the only one really. Just because the are military brass means nothing to me, at least anymore. It used to hold sway over me. But then those men deserved respect back then. 🙂👍
Generals, be they active or retired, are not above reproach, rebuke or peer group corruption.
The 38-page brief, which includes signatures from officials who have served under both Democratic and Republican administrations dating back to the era of former President John F. Kennedy, cautions that Trump’s legal theory could set a dangerous precedent.
Among the signatories include:
Ray Mabus, former secretary of the Navy;
retired Air Force Gen. Michael Hayden, who also served as CIA director;
retired Army Gens. George Casey and Peter Chiarelli;
retired Air Force Gens. John Jumper, Craig McKinley, and Charles Wald;
retired Marine Corps Gens. Carlton Fulford, Charles Krulak, and Robert Magnus;
retired Navy Adms. Steve Abbot, Samuel Jones Locklear, John Nathman, Bill Owens, and Scott Swift;
and retired Coast Guard Adm. Thad Allen.
They are joined by former civilian defense officials, including Louis Caldera, Deborah Lee James, and Sean O’Keefe.
