In July of 2024 the U.S. Supreme Courts tendered their decision regarding the nature and scope of Presidential Immunity. The key component of the “decisions” filter is the distinction of what constitutes an “Official” vs. and “Unofficial” act. With the recent disclosures, by DNI Gabbard, I believe it’s reasonable to expect that the Court’s decision will see its first test.
Setting aside, for the moment, the many participants in the Obama directed Coup and debasement of Trump and his Presidency, a President being briefed on a “Intelligence Community Assessment” (ICA) would be considered one of the many acts contained within the broad scope of an “Official” action of a President. No problem here.
In December of 2016, just after Trump won the election and all the while knowing (Obama et al) that not only was the Russia Collusion story false it was also known that is was built on a lie fabricated by/thru the misdeeds of the Hillary Clinton group, an ICA Report surfaced suggesting that while it was possible the Russians did indeed attempted to sow discord among U.S. Voters however their efforts to edit/alter the vote count were unsuccessful. Moreover, there is evidence that Putin actual favored a Clinton Presidency allegedly based on reports that indicated Russians had compromising information and fully intended to use it against her. This Report, it is claimed, was never given to Trump or was he ever briefed on its content. Instead, what the evidence shows is that Obama then directed key heads of the Intel Community (IC) – likely Comey, Clapper, Brennan and Clinton – to compose a new ICA the content of which purposely crafted to continue, among other things, the “Trump is compromised,…a threat to Democracy,…an Election Denier…” and so on narratives.
It’s so important to look back and recall the destructive, the polarizing effect this affair had on the Nation: Demoralized his Presidency, two baseless Impeachments, 90 + Indictment, badgering and humiliation of his businesses and his family not to mention the damage to the Country and the near catastrophic effects that would later come with a Biden/Harris Presidency.
Now then to the conclusion of the current effort.
Yes, the DNI has tendered Criminal Referrals to the Justice Department and their investigations will move forward. The real question is this: For Obama to benefit from the protection of Presidential Immunity will his Defense be effective in claiming he was well within the scope of his “Official Acts?”
” In theory a President could be criminally charged and still remain within the scope and protection of “Official Acts.”
How this quandary resolves rests on the answer to the following question: Does a President breach the sanctuary of “Official Acts”, and then become “Unofficial Acts”, when his conduct, both knowingly, deliberate and malicious, is targeted at the very structure he/she has sworn an oath to defend and protect?
Don’t lose sight of the following: It’s not about Trump vs. Obama. It’s about:
- The Office of the Presidency.
And,
- The Scope of Presidential Powers.
The extent of the damage is yet unknown which also a clue has to just how damning the whole affair actually is.
