Why are congressman and senators immune from prosecution for the criminal acts of insider trading?
Great question
Well, they aren’t, but insider trading is narrowly defined. They need to make it more usefully defined. My sister only answers to the ceo of her company and sold lots of stock recently. …long story but I asked her if she should have published the move ahead of the trade and she said no because she isn’t on the finance team. …I was surprised, and I trade stocks.
Lobbying
And what about the corrupted BOUGHT Supreme Justices?
Because that’s their bread and butter
Can Nancy p be prosecuted for insider trading.
No. Reps and Sens have an exemption.
If you have proof bring it on boy !
No she has already used immunity as a defense.
@cafl9844 Are you fkg kidding me boy!! You don't need proof, just go back to old videos and you have your proof DA!
Hahahahahaha. Whataboutism fail.
Since when is it criminal to challenge ellection results? Apparently it's only criminal for Trump!!!
Right, and let's say that it "was the most honest election in history" ok? Why did the Democrats make it LOOK like a scam? Everyone went to bed with Trump winning by millions, and then all these boxes, 100% of which went to Biden, show up after hours and get counted in swing states in blue areas where they took away Voter ID and Signature Verification, and the voter rolls haven't been updated, and we know Democrats would push an old lady out of a wheelchair to "save Democracy" from Trump? Why would anyone believe in the validity of that election? I don't even think Democrats believe it, they're acting like fans of pro-wrestling heels... "No, Ric Flair didn't use brass knuckles too win! Prove it!"
I remember how everyone called Bush illegitimate in 2000… funny how things change. They’re all hypocrites
They need to charge me too....I think the whole f**king government is corrupt and tyrannical, they need to come and arrest me ASAP! FJB🖕
I'm curious if you believe the Al Gore and Hillary Clinton election result challenges used the same methods as Trump. Because if you can't see how Trump's "challenge" was different, you'll continue to be confused or point at a perceived injustice.
When trump did it. It was fine for gore Abram’s and Clinton. But Trump now we got a legal issue

The Supreme Court Of The United States has one job , uphold and follow the Constitution.
Problem is the Left believes they are paid off if their decision disagrees with the democrat/progressive ideology.
@@fearlessfosdick160 No, they still do it. The problem is you lefties demand SCOTUS follow your ideology instead of the Constitution. You basically hate democracy even with all the BS whining about "saving democracy." Trying to jail your greatest political opponent because you know he's going to beat you in the election isn't American Democracy, but it IS Democrat party politics.
and 3 of them NEVER vote for the Constitution...well according to those 3, 2A does not exist, so it is political AF sadly. When the Right leaning judges go, 2A will be abolished immediately which could trigger a civil war as the are openly abolishing a right that says "shall not be infringed". the DNC today actually has me see that yes (by design) America will topple itself as it just splits.
No. That is the job of the president and congress. The US Supreme Court's job is to interpret it.
Too bad they sided with The Coup in Texas v. Pennsylvania.
Treason.

He has of course been vindicated by subsequent events with more than half of Americans now agreeing the 2020 election which installed Biden was 'problematic'.

@@manhandlerI heard a moron say this exact thing.

Challenging an election can be "private" &/or "official". Any CITIZEN must be able to say, "HERE is something that compromises this election; this issue MUST be addressed to ensure the result is valid." But, an individual, who is also a government office holder, HAS, in my view, A DUTY to SPEAK UP if something compromises the outcome.
Oh and it’s literally politicians job to compromise!!
Yes, that falls under free speech. You can say an election was rigged. But you can't send fake electors with forged certificates to reverse a legal election. That is not legal. Make sense?
As long as you don’t try to overturn the election with illegal activities then you can cry “unfair” all you want
They had a council years ago that looked into the ways you could game the system and Mail in Ballots was at the top of the list. Jimmy Carter was on this Council. Every thing Bad is what the Democrats want.

Trump needs to fire a bunch of people at the D.O.J. when he's president again!
He is innocent. This entire case is politically motivated. He has been through

been violated. Shame

Im pretty sure they feared a president claiming immunity from everything he does, let alone the fact it came after he tried his hardest to overthrow the election 😂

The president shouldn’t have to consult a lawyer before doing something. It’s an absurd notion.
The President has a cabinet officer called “The Attorney General.”
Presidents don't have to, and 99.9% of the time do not.
@@daviddadamo2290 so, what is the point? President likely hires person who will be loyal to him, plus some laws are not clear cut. Just like VP's role in 2020 election. Different lawyers had different interpretations.
@@zengjanezhu I disagree completely. Bill Barr advised Trump he lost a free and fair election. Mike Pence sought legal advice from Michael Luttig who told him he had no constitutional power to reject the electors. When your chosen partisan lawyer even tells you it’s illegal, it’s pretty clear you can’t do it!
@@daviddadamo2290here are the problems with your argument: you can ask 10 “legal experts” if the POTUS has authority AND responsibility to challenge a federal election and you will get 10 different answers. IF that POTUS was not a candidate in that election, the answers - with various caveats - would almost certainly favor “yes”. In 2020, though, the POTUS was a candidate, so the answers would probably be evenly scattered across the spectrum from yes, to probably, to maybe sometimes, to probably not, to no. And the ONLY reason for the differing answers is “the appearance of it” because of the POTUS being a candidate. But, it should not matter that the POTUS is a candidate. It should not matter because the issue affects not JUST the candidate. It affects the million citizens who VOTED for him!!! The POTUS has a duty to ALL citizens so, when million citizens are CONVINCED that their vote didn’t count because an election was not conducted according to the RULES, he MUST respond. He is OBLIGATED to either CORRECT the vote count OR be able to demonstrate to those people who feel disenfranchised that the vote count was accurate and fair. I can GUARANTEE you that, if Biden had been the losing candidate and Trump had done for Democrat voters EXACTLY what he did for Republican voters, ALL of you would think is was PERFECTLY PROPER for a POTUS to hold up certification and to prepare to have alternate electors ready to go in case Biden had been proven the winner and to call up the Georgia SOS to ask him to recount Fulton County, and to petition a few other states to have their elections nullified because of illegal rule changes having being implemented by people who had no authority to change those rules. ALL of you would be saying these were things that fall squarely into his JOB DESCRIPTION as the CHIEF law enforcement officer in the country.
"Trust us, we'd never make this political"
Right?? That has got to be the most absurd sentence ever muttered by a human in all of human history!
One of my all time favourite statements, actually said in the Supreme Court, “trust me, I’m from the Government and I’m here to help you “. I’m laughing all night. 😂
That's from a Reagan speech. When was it said to he supreme court?
That was Ronald Reagan
When was this said in the supreme court, by whom & in what context? They keep written records, I hear. I'd be glad to look it up if you give proper info/citation. Thanks.
Well, there's social security, medicare, police, the military, roads, airports, the FDA, etc etc
Exactly, that is why I never trusted Trump when he was in office.

@jonboy9912 That sounds like the comment of a simpleton. In the words of Lavrently Beria, (Stalin's chief of secret police) "show me the man, I'll show you the crime". If you think using the police and courts to prosecute one's political opponents is productive, you're a fool because it will go against you anytime your opposition is in control of a court or police dept. - Having us continually at each other's throats. There is a widely covered politically motivated prosecution happening in NYC right now, and most outlets are starting to acknowledge that. Hillary and the DNC were fined a total $115K for running payment for the Steele "dossier" thru their law firm and masking it as "legal fees" in an attempt to hide the truth from voters. This is the same "crime" for which Trump is facing 34 felonies.
The party that reads "Rules for Radicals" and promotes "projection" and "lawfare" should rethink it and be more egalitarian.

This immunity case axe will fall on the other presidents just as well. They better be praying for immunity because if not they will get repercussions !
If a POTUS has committed a crime then there should be no immunity for any of them. Why are you MAGA people so twisted and sick that you think a POTUS is a King? Have you not heard of 1776? utter block heads.
Who authorized crossfire hurricane?
you do understand that if a president cannot ever break the law that Biden can call off the upcoming elections and remain in power because he feels like and no prosecution?
There already is immunity for presidents. The question is how much.
So if a president orders a strike on the Supreme Court? They should be asked that question. People seem to only be concerned if something affects them personally, then their opinions completely change.
Please explain. How is it ever unlawful for the chief law enforcement officer of the US (the President) to object to what he believes to be unlawful election processes? Simply because he is a person allegedly harmed should never be weighed. Does the President have a duty to call out injustice (real or not) and demand the system and individuals responsible to adjudicate actually do their job? So far, all alleged acts are simply Trump probing and demanding others act as he believed the Constitution compels. People may not like what he did. People may believe his actions further divided the country. None of that matters when contemplating criminal prosecution.
So walking around saying the election was stolen over and over is proof that a President has evidence that there was questions about the election? So he gets consolidations from people that say we can just switch electors and boom he wins.
Oh its worse than that... the trial in ny now while its ostensibly about the stormy daniels hush money the actual charges are election tampering. The state of NY is saying trump stole the 2016 election! While the DOJ is trying to put him on trial for saying Biden stole the election! You cant get more hypocritical than that!
Wow, you really haven't been following these cases or the facts regarding your argument right? Swapping the official electors for your electors is an illegal act. Its not just demanding someone to investigate if the election was fair, its several ACTS to actually rob whole states of their votes. Michael johnson actually carried out this plan, but in the end Pence rejected the fake electors at the moment in January 6th. This was orchestrated by Trump and his team. Furthermore, asking another government official to find 11,000 votes that don't exist so that he can win a state is also not legal. And finally, asking/telling, leading a group of people to violently attack the capitol while the election votes are being certified is akin to a military/violent coup. Many of those people were armed, used force, destroyed parts of the buildling attacked police officers defending the capitol injuring several and one who ended up dying from the injuries. and all of this was orchestrated by Trump and his team where in the channels used to communicate, violence was clearly advocated and sought out (they reached out to proud boys and other militant conservative groups).... Are you in love with him? Is that why you ignore all these facts that are so easily verifiable?
Trump sued 61 times lost every one over the election that's how they know.
Read the indictment. There’s a reason Fox doesn’t discuss the contents. Ever. He went way, way beyond.
The courts better straighten up and stop the abuse of justice, or we will have to straighten these courts out, even if that means removing every last Judge and giving them the Mussolini treatment.
Clean up the DOJ from top to bottom. SCOTUS is fine.

Should Biden lose he should declare himself dictator, if SCOTUS then rules a President can be prosecuted Trump can then be prosecuted, if SCOTUS rules a President cannot be prosecuted Biden can stay in office forever, if SCOTUS rules neither way in continuing delays to help Trump, then Biden can stay in power as long as he wants until SCOTUS rules.

So coups are allowed in our constitution then, even murdering a baby on 5th Ave with his foot. You really have a sound understanding of the law and what it says don't you.
Except that the Constitution disagrees with you
There was no coup , Trump questioned the outcome , nothing more or nothing less .
No it doesn't . Just the same as did in Nixon v Kennedy , when three Democrats officials declared Kennedy the winner in Hawaii 3 votes to nil despite there having been184705 votes cast , when the result at the time before the recount had Nixon winning the state by 140 votes.
The result would not have overturned the overall result of the 1960 election , but the act was declared legal
Not none of them are immune from Impeachment which comes with consequences from the Senate. The Constitution is clear on that. So you have a Grand Jury of 435 and a Jury of 100. Immunity from Article 3 Judicial review which could be referred by the Senate. This was not refered by the Senate but by the politically party in charge.

The question is not HOW could a President function without immunity, it is WHAT could a President need to do that required them to be free from prosecution?

Yes! It’s dangerous for a president to have absolute immunity
@@robertlucas5090Impeachment and removal from Office are different from criminal and/or civil prosecution.
@@omarjacks9788 conviction of Treason, Bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors is self- explanatory my friend. Hint! Keyword Crimes!
@@robertlucas5090 I think the key word is actually 'venue'.
I am surprised that Trump's attorney did not remind the court that Trump is not only a former president, but also the current official nominee for the Republican party, and that Trump has been getting classified briefings since he secured the nomination on super Tuesday.
I think the court needs to also consider Trump's current status as the nominee, and not just his past status of president.
The rule about not indicting and prosecuting a sitting president exists because it would be disruptive.
I believe trying to idict and prosecute a presidential nominee is just as disruptive.

Why did Nixon need a pardon then?
He didn't Fords advisors suggested he do that to avoid shyt like this brought about by an out of control democrat party. Nixon was not even impeached. He resigned under political pressure once again to spare the country from people like you.
Something called Impeachment.... presidential immunity applies until impeachment is completed. Nixon was successfully impeached. Thus, he could be charged. Since they never removed Nixon from office, he pardoned himself.
And Trump was never successfully impeached, so his immunity should apply. That's the difference.
@@Craigalicioususa BECAUSE NIXON WAS A SELF-LOATING COWARD.
Well isn't that a form of immunity? Dah
Nixon and watergate is a joke compared to what they have done to Trump: lying to FISA court, spying on him in the white house, raiding mar a lago for having documents there as if they hadnt forced him to move his administration there by compromising the white house, impeaching him for asking about Bidens corrupt threats against a ukranian prosecutor (and it turned out he was right about it), corrupting and wielding the courts and law like they are weapons with endless witch hunts and false charges.

This is so frustrating because the Democrats always challenge elections. In fact, the entire Russian collusion hoax was a form of election challenge and the Democrats tried to tie up Trump's presidency with false accusations for years and were never prosecuted for it. Democrat criminality is legend. No prosecutions ever occur. Shame on Trump's attorneys for not pressing their case more aggressively before the court. Shame on the court for buying into these politicized prosecutions and obvious election interference.
WERE REDEFINING POLITCS.
i do not see the need for prosecution at all, when he can impeached or removed from office by congress, someone please explain this to me, because going down this line like the DOJ just feels dark
Impeachment is a legislative proceeding, not a judicial one
exactly right.....impeachment AND conviction are the remedies ....this is Obama lead garbage.
It's more than dark. It is just an extension of a long-term ongoing coup by Democrats against our republic. Notice that Democrats are never prosecuted when they are known to have committed actual crimes.
If they give the president immunity that means Biden and DoJ has authority as well..He’s better off taking these lawsuits as a
Citizen and not a president. For the sake of any future president. Check mate
Congress is biased. A jury must be impartial. Also anything can be brought before Congress, even without evidence.
For an arrest, there must be enough evidence to convict, brought to the judge. A crime has to be proven.
Well now they are laying down the stepping stones to throw these corrupt swamp creatures in prison for life
"I need total immunity from the crimes I did not commit."
How does one equal branch of the government determine what another can and can not do, or what is protected by immunity and what is not, can I sue this President because he cost me a lot of money because of his policies, can I do it alone or should I get others to sue as well? Is Obama guilt of a crime for killing Americans using drones? How does the Supreme court determine this, should it not be congress?
Hope you don’t find out that trump put us in more debt than the last 4 presidents.

The problem we have is with the actual judges themselves. Even the ones on the Supreme Court. Jackson has no business being on that court. She's a radical left this since Biden is a illegitimate President. Her appointment should not even count. The circuit Court of Appeals judges. I assume are supposed to be highly accredited and experts in their field. And then you get an answer like that. As far as I'm concerned, people every judge in every court should be on the hot seat. I don't care if it's lifetime appointments. We need to get rid of that. No more lifetime appointments because it breeds corruption. And you corrupt judges and we know who you are. Cause all you gotta do is look at the records. Look at the cases your days are numbered. The American people are gonna have their revenge. We gonna have redemption and' nothing going to stop it

If trump won twice, how can he be president again? Term limits.....
all these interpretations of whether they have the right to make Trump accountable for his crimes. But no one on the right is actually considering whether Trump actually did the things he is accused of. Its all about the judge, or the prosecutor, or Hillary, or Hunter's laptop
The idea that you have got an unelected bureau of the executive branch petitioning the Court for a special cut out of executive power to put controls on the office that the Constitution identifies as vested with all executive power, might sound like a pragmatic adjustment, but then again to people who think this, unintended consequences is just a "right-wing talking point", because unintended consequences never happen. (i.e., All consequences are intended).
Some people try to make the argument that the Constitution is old and out-of-date at the same time as "The Constitution is on our side", but if you're looking for a fourth corner in the separation of powers, that is not in the Constitution. You have to make one or the other--and then don't brand jurists as "political hacks" simply because they're preferring the Constitution over your naive "innovation" (which nobody voted for).

What does Monica Lewinsky think we should do.
How can a President engage in private acts without forcing the executive branch to exist? A private act would mean no executive branch exists during that time because the President alone IS the executive branch. That would mean the executive branch takes a holiday while the President goes off to engage in private acts. The Supreme Court recently ruled the Constitution does not take a holiday even during a pandemic. This would be no different. The President can only engage in a private act if the VP is first sworn in as acting President to allow the President to engage in a private act. Otherwise all acts are official acts no matter what it is because the President is always in his official capacity. Absent the President taking a leave from office by having the VP sworn in as acting President, there is no such thing as a private act while the President is in his official capacity.
Ummmmm….the executive branch consists of more than the President alone.
@@melaniedelaware7500 Yeah, they serve as the HANDS of the President at his pleasure. The President alone IS the executive branch. Without the President they wouldn't exist.
@@melaniedelaware7500 BTW, the courts have ruled this.
“The Constitution itself places no limit on the President’s authority to act on matters which concern him or his own conduct. On the contrary, the Constitution’s grant of law enforcement power to the President is plenary. Constitutionally, it is wrong to conceive of the President as simply the highest officer within the Executive branch hierarchy. He alone is the Executive branch. As such, he is the sole repository of all Executive powers conferred by the Constitution. Thus, the full measure of law enforcement authority is placed in the President’s hands, and no limit is placed on the kinds of cases subject to his control and supervision. While the President has subordinates --the Attorney General and DOJ lawyers -- who exercise prosecutorial discretion on his behalf, they are merely “his hand,” Ponzi v. Fessenden, 258 U.S. 254, 262 (1922) - the discretion they exercise is the President’s discretion, and their decisions are legitimate precisely because they remain under his supervision, and he is still responsible and politically accountable for them.”
Wrong. The POTUS can and does act in a private capacity even while the VP is acting as a V.P. The VP does not need to be sworn in as POTUS for the POTUS to be acting in a private capacity. There is nothing in case law or the Constitution to support your argument. If there is, please state it.
@@emilyalice1 The VP is not acting as a VP. The VP is the VP. Article II vests ALL the executive powers in the President and the President alone. The President IS the Executive Branch. Everyone else within the Executive Branch serve at the pleasure of the President for his benefit alone. They are merely his hands. If the President who alone IS the Executive Branch was allowed to go off and act in a personal capacity that would literally mean the Executive Branch becomes abandoned because the President cannot be two things at once. Because the President alone IS the Executive Branch he is always in his official capacity 24/7 even while he sleeps, while he vacations and while he does anything that is even for his own personal benefit. It is in fact an official act by the President, not a personal act as a private citizen. Once the President takes the oath of office he is no longer a private citizen. He is the President who becomes a sovereign power as the Executive Branch of Government. The ONLY way the President can ever act outside of his official capacity as President is only if he steps down to take a leave of office which would in fact require the VP to be sworn in as the acting President until the President is able to return to office in his official capacity. This is why the VP was sworn in as acting President when President Reagan had to have a medical procedure that required him to be put under and the same when Bush had to and the same when Biden had to and Kamala Harris was sworn in as acting President until Biden was able to return to his official capacity. Otherwise there would not have been any need for them to be sworn in as acting President. If anything did happen where any of those Presidents did not recover they could have sworn the VP in at that time where they would have become President. Why do you think they were sworn in as acting President? Because if they weren't the Executive Branch would be completely abandoned without a President able to serve in an official capacity. That can never be allowed because the Executive Branch cannot be allowed to be abandoned where it would literally cease to exist for any period of time, even if for just a few minutes. The President is the only person that is in his official capacity every second of every day from the moment he takes the oath of office to the moment he leaves office. The only exception is if the President is unable to serve in an official capacity and the VP is sworn in as actine President until the President is able to return in his official capacity.
See the 25th Amendment
Section 3.
Whenever the President transmits to the President pro tempore of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives his written declaration that he is unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office, and until he transmits to them a written declaration to the contrary, such powers and duties shall be discharged by the Vice President as Acting President.
If a President acts in a personal capacity then he is in fact unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office since it is literally impossible to do both at the same moment in time. If the President is acting in a personal capacity then he is not in his official capacity. If he is in his official capacity then he cannot be in a personal capacity.
Since President Trump never stepped aside by having the VP step in as acting President then everything he did was in his official capacity and a Presidential act, not a personal act.
My take: Vacate and remand to the DC Circuit with instructions. 6-3.
The DC Circuit MAY reconsider, OR more likely, will send it back to the trial court.

Stop the delay. Decide whether or not the President can do anything without consequence? Can that person delete someone he/she views as a threat to national security?
Their tactic is to delay, delay and delay until, they hope, Trump gets into office again and then he can just make all this disappear.
That, in itself, should be a clear sign of dangerous times ahead.
It looks like they are gonna say the president has some immunity for official acts, but not personal acts. Are you suggesting Biden would have Trump executed if he could?
