Courtesy Marcy Wheeler, the following is the entire first paragraph from special prosecutor Jack Smith's (Anti) Immunity Brief in the case of The United States of America v. Donald Trump.
Very strong, straightforward language.
Courtesy Marcy Wheeler, the following is the entire first paragraph from special prosecutor Jack Smith's (Anti) Immunity Brief in the case of The United States of America v. Donald Trump.
Very strong, straightforward language.
Essentially, Smith has cut out the White House/official business ties to make it clear that Mr. Trump acted culpably as a private person/candidate with 'no official role' in the election fraud case.
This was necessary given the Supreme Court's 6-3 ruling that US'ian Presidents are immune from prosecution when they engage in official acts.
Importantly, it was the (non-supreme) judge in the case who unsealed portions of Mr. Smith's brief in redacted form.
This could get most interesting as folks work to figure out who all the redacted co-conspirators are. Ms. Wheeler, who really, really pays attention to this stuff, has already thrown the first pitch in that particular name game.

On to Ms. Wheeler's blog. Ms. Wheeler's blog is excellent. When things get complicated, she explains everything.
ReplyDeleteeaf - Yes, indeed. Her podcast 'Ball of Thread', which is an explainer not a gabfest, is also excellent.

Actually I watch Kieth Olbermann, Brian Tyler Cohen, and the Meidas Touch Network. A lot of muck raking, legal and journalistic opinions to ponder.
DeleteSo, in the Excited States, according to the US Supreme Court, Is treason now an "official" act?
ReplyDeleteIt seems "treasonous acts" is now part of the American politcal culture and to think we have problems in Canada with Tweedle Dee, Tweedle Dum and Tweedle Duh, running for Prime Minister!
Ms Wheeler can also be found on Mastodon as well.
ReplyDeleteRead Empty Wheel and it was such a fun read. The document which was released had blacked out names. Ms. Wheeler and others have identified them and reported out on who is who. That is what I like about the blog. Others who follow the blog are very informed Americans who share their information.
