The Justice Department’s case is on hold until a higher court settles the question of presidential immunity.
Trump wrote, “If I don’t get Immunity, then Crooked Joe Biden doesn’t get Immunity, and with the Border Invasion and Afghanistan Surrender, alone, not to mention the Millions of dollars that went into his ‘pockets’ with money from foreign countries, Joe would be ripe for Indictment. By weaponizing the DOJ against his Political Opponent, ME, Joe has opened a giant Pandora’s Box.”
“Whatever immunities a sitting president may enjoy, the United States has only one chief executive at a time, and that position does not confer a lifelong ‘get-out-of-jail-free’ pass,” wrote Judge Chutkan.
“Four-year service as Commander in Chief did not bestow on him the divine right of kings to evade the criminal accountability that governs his fellow citizens,” continued the judge.
Trump is planning to restructure and weaponize the Justice Department for the far-right’s agenda, including creating an “Office of Election Integrity” to promote baseless conspiracies about electoral fraud.
Trump has indicated that if reelected, he would use government powers to indict political opponents.
“What they’ve done is they’ve released the genie out of the box,” explained Trump.
“If they do this and they’ve already done it, but if they want to follow through on this, yeah, it could certainly happen in reverse,” he continued.
“If I happen to be president, and I see somebody who is doing well and beating me very badly, I’ll say, ‘go down and indict them,’” added the former president.
