    Wasn’t that ruling only for POTUS? Like if Biden drone striked a caravan of terrorists and it took out a US civilian on accident he’s not facing murder charges.

      Now that Trump ruling. The other Trump ruling.

      Where Judge Aileen Cannon dismissed the Mar-a-Lago documents case because the Special Prosecutor was “unlawfully appointed”.

      Judge Cannon in the classified documents case just threw out the case saying that the DOJ can’t appoint special counsel and so Trump shouldn’t have been indicted by Jack Smith. Hunter was indicated by a special counsel and so he’s trying to say that he shouldn’t have been indicted either.

      Not the newest one, it was dismissed on the basis of how the special counsel was appointed.

      The Supreme Court has been upending a lot recently, it’s giving me whiplash just keeping up with every decision. As others have pointed out, this is because of how the appointment of the special council was made, which is how Trump’s stolen classified documents case was thrown out in court this week. It seems that in the judicial system bending over backwards for Trump, they failed to consider 25 years of precedence and the ramifications to people other than Trump.
