COMMENT: Mr. Armstrong, You may be a trader, but your understanding of constitutional law far surpasses that of most attorneys. I heard your father was also such a man. As you have raised, Justice Thomas even asked if Trump’s lawyer, John Sauer, had questioned Smith’s power to prosecute any president. Justice Thomas asked, “Did you, in this litigation, challenge the appointment of special counsel?” He said “We hadn’t raised it yet in this case when this case went up on appeal.” This is shocking. Justice Kavanaugh also chimed in along the same lines, warning as you do that this will establish an unending precedent. Justice Gorsuch commented that the court is “writing a rule for the ages.” Are Trump’s lawyers deliberately throwing this case?

REPLY: Yes, I grew up with debates and discussions about the Constitution. My father was a brilliant man who inspired me to discover history. It was the Age of McCarthy who was ignoring everything just to win as they are doing today. As I have said, Article I, Section 6, Clause 1 prohibits the arrest of a Congressman or Senator to interfere in their vote. The president cannot be the exception. Article II, Section 4 makes it very clear that ONLY Congress can charge the President, and he can ONLY be put on trial in the Senate:
The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.
I really do not understand fighting on immunity when they should be fighting on the lack of subject matter jurisdiction to appoint some prosecutor who is UNELECTED and UNSUPERVISED by the Senate, and he can bring charges against a president who interferes in the 2024 election. This is not going to look good historically. Justice Kavanaugh is very smart, and he understands precedents well. He explained: “It’s going to cycle back and be used against the current president or the next president … and the next president and the next president after that.” Justice Gorsuch’s comment that they are “writing a rule for the ages” is absolutely correct.
I am very disappointed in Trump’s lawyers – VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Merrick Garland and Jack Smith acted as Traitors and should be prosecuted for their actions without any authority for violating their oaths to uphold the Constitution. This would be true even against prosecuting Biden. That must rest in the hands of the House to Impeach (Indict) and the Senate to put on trial in both cases. I am shocked that nobody in Congress has moved to IMPEACH both men, and they should be put on trial themselves.
The Constitution specifically identifies what constitutes treason against the United States and, importantly, limits the offense of treason to only two types of conduct: (1) “levying war” against the United States or (2) “adhering to [the] enemies [of the United States], giving them aid and comfort.” In the good old days of England, Garland and Smith would have been hanged for treason. The Court held in Cramer v. United States 325 U.S. 1 (1945) that they MUST have given aid and comfort to an enemy. You may sympathize with an enemy’s view but you must also commit an act of comfort to the enemy, else there is no treason. This raises the question of Treason domestically when what they are doing is trying to aid the foreign economic policy of Karl Marx – a socialist. I cannot see how nobody has challenged in court that their redistributing wealth violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution.
We cannot have liberty and justice for all, and then we claim that monetary means are the exception so we can discriminate by class. This is so hypocritical it goes right to the foundation of liberty and equal protection of the law. I have studied INTERNATIONAL LAW and how it has evolved since ancient times.
This is not being partisan. We are indeed staring into the eyes of the ABSOLUTE death of the United States. This is why these people want Biden; he is senile and lets them do whatever they want. They are bringing down the United States, and we are looking at not just writing a rule for the ages; we are looking at the total collapse of the United States. These people hate Trump so much that they are destroying everything the Founding Fathers envisioned, all for personal corruption.
