Donald Trump has some immunity from prosecution, Supreme Court rules | BBC News

- The US Supreme Court has ruled that Donald Trump is partially immune from prosecution for actions taken while he was in the White House.
The decision means the federal election interference case against Trump will return to a lower court, which will then decide how to apply the Supreme Court ruling.
While the court ruled that the former president is immune from criminal prosecution for "official acts" taken in office, he is not immune for "unofficial acts".
Writing the court's opinion, Chief Justice John Roberts said: "The nature of Presidential power entitles a former President to absolute immunity from criminal prosecution" for official acts taken as president.
The document stipulates that courts would need to distinguish between what were official and unofficial actions.

Some? Everything can now become an official act... what a joke
Nixon was given immunity for his role in subterfuge at Watergate - though he resigned. That was the extent of it. No jail time. Clinton did not go to prison for his official act with Monica in the White House - though he was impeached. Neither Bush suffered any penalties for getting us into unwinnable wars - just because - especially George Jr. who attacked Iraq for no reason whatsoever - Iraq who had nothing at all to do with 9/11. Obama did not have to pay for sending Iran billions of dollars in cash when there was an embargo on that country. All skated. Trump committed what Alan Dershowitz and Andrew Cuomo said was a misdemeanor, the statute of limitations which had expired years prior - but Bragg, who let illegal migrant cop beaters go free, and all those mob thieves who are stealing millions in merchandise go free without so much as a slap on the wrist, decided to make sport of Trump - for a MISDEMEANOR! . I am neither for Trump nor Biden - but fair is fair and if they can bend the law for him, they can do it for you. This is NOT a joke.

I began investing in stocks and Def earlier this year, and it is the best choice l've ever made. My portfolio is rounding up to almost a million, and I have realized that when a stock makes it to the news. Chances are you're quite late to the party, the idea is to get in early on blue chips before it becomes public. There are lots of life changing opportunities in the market, and maximize it
What opportunities are there in the market, and how do I profit from it?
You can make a lot of money from the market regardless of whether it strengthens or crashes. The key is to be well positioned
I would really like to know how this actually works.
All you need is a good capital, and the service of a professional broker, with those your investment will most certainly produce high yields.

It simply says "OFFICIAL Acts are Immune and Unofficial Acts are NOT".
It also says a Prosecutor can NOT assume MOTIVATION for an Official Act and turn it into a crime at his own discretion. 😊 Trump said "Go forth and march Peacefully". 😊 Despite Trump's call for "Peace" - Jack Smith ASSUMED Trump's motivate was bad . 😊 Smith's ridiculous ASSUMPTION of motive is exactly what SCOTUS is opposed to.

It’s not partisan. The commentator is gaslighting you. The Republicans have simply gone full authoritarian. No Republican a few decades ago would’ve supported this decision, and hundred thousands that have left the party since Trump don’t agree with this direction either.

YES. He can do that with immunity now. It is an 'official act' and his motives can't be questioned says SCOTUS.
So, the $64,000 question is: Was it an "official" or "unofficial" Presidential act when he incited an insurrection? "Fight like Hell!"

What happened on 1/6/21 wasn't an insurrection. It was a riot. If it was in fact an insurrection then everyone or almost everyone who was charged for the incident would've been charged with the crime of insurrection.
Fight like hell! - What every Democrat said during the mass BLM ANTIFA riots that lasted for a year. At least Trump told people to be peaceful and respect our police, something the Democrats refused to do.
The answer to that question is "Neither. Nobody has indicted him with inciting an insurrection. Nobody is arguing that in court. It quite literally never happened"

What Trump did with Stormy Daniels was during the time that he was NOT the president of the United States. The Democrats simply choose this for the salaciousness of it, and thinking that it would persuade people not to vote for him. Originally Alvin Bragg had the same information and refused to prosecute. It was not until Trump announced his second candidacy that the so-called “hush money” situation was resurrected.

Lol imagine being THIS DUMB 🤣🤣🤣
You are a blind and deaf idiot
Bro Trump has receipts for all of this. Ur so dumb 😂
Who then deems what is and is not an official act though..?
You seem a little behind the times there. Recent SCOTUS decision was that the Biden DOJ LACKED the authority to so focus on the minutia of Trumps actions as to involve him. The Jan 6th cirsus is no longer applicable to Trump....However, now the evidence of the Jan 6th committee tampering with evidence has been located. The committe has been ruled illegal by the House, and lawsuits are being filed against Committee members (to the extent of their involvement in the corruption). Trump 1, Jan6th Committe 0.
This is a massive win for Vladimir Putin 🇷🇺.

Every American needs to protest against this ruling we should not stand by and let this happen
Says the keyboard warrior 😁
This, from the majority as to what Presidential “official acts” are:
_In dividing official from unofficial conduct, courts may not inquire into the President’s motives. Such an inquiry would risk exposing even the most obvious instances of official conduct to judicial examination on the mere allegation of improper purpose, thereby intruding on the Article II interests that immunity seeks to protect._
This, from dissenting Judge Sotomayor:
_The President of the United States is the most powerful person in the country, and possibly the world. When he uses his official powers in any way, under the majority’s reasoning, he now will be insulated from criminal prosecution. Orders the Navy’s Seal Team 6 to assassinate a political rival? Immune. Organizes a military coup to hold onto power? Immune. Takes a bribe in exchange for a pardon? Immune. Immune, immune, immune._
_Let the President violate the law, let him exploit the trappings of his office for personal gain, let him use his official power for evil ends. Because if he knew that he may one day face liability for breaking the law, he might not be as bold and fearless as we would like him to be. That is the majority’s message today._
_Even if these nightmare scenarios never play out, and I pray they never do, the damage has been done. The relationship between the President and the people he serves has shifted irrevocably. In every use of official power, the President is now a king above the law._
The irony of this coming from a supreme court majority that just overturned the Chevron Deference. Lol, they've made it clear that they don't give a damn about exposing official conduct to judicial examination when it gridlocks regulators and benefits their wealthy puppeteers. What's an oil contamination or two in our water tables.
The Americans have gone Fk in mental! ✌
So how come Americans are just finding this out? The cost must be enormous. Not just financially but the effect of stress on the nation. How can the alleged most powerful man in the world cause such a mess for the people he is supposed to serve.
All of the people of America.
Our Prime Ministers do not have immunity.
Apparently , the specialists say, 'motive' can not be considered
Horrific. The American revolution might just as well never have happened. The 'nightmare scenarios' will play out from the moment Trump is re-elected
Presumably when Trump refuses to leave office next time nothing will stop him - it is an official act to stay in office.
The US is done as a 'civilised' country.
This is making me so sick. I do not want to live like this. I will not live in this country with a king.
All this judgement did was state the already known, the democrats just tried to get around the law, again

What about secret docs?
Doubtful since he was out of office when he obstructed justice. Therefore he wasn’t acting in his “official capacity.”
Judge Cannon will have to think about that all summer and past Thanksgiving. Whatever excuses she needs to keep that case out of trial until after the election because she wants to placate her boss so he puts her on the Supreme Court if he wins again.

@makerofnoise I know that Trump will ignore the law. But Biden can use this to his benefit. He has the right to defend and uphold the Constitution, so if Trump does another January 6th, pt.2 Biden could order the military into DC to put down the coup attempt and could order vote monitors for this election to ensure there is no intimidation of voters and messing with the ballots.
so you think there's not to be a proof for being persecuted then... everything goes, what a time to be alive!

Your boy is losing bigly in November.
They basically said that some actions that are demonstrated to be official have the presumption of immunity, as to what those action are is not up to the supreme court to decide as they are basically an appeals court and not the finders of the facts.
They also stated in their ruling that they did not agree with the scope of immunity argued by Trumps lawyers.. They also stated that a president does not need to be impeached before hand.. ie if he does something that is deemed to not be an official act, he doesn't need to be impeached before he can be prosecuted.
What happens now is the lower courts need to ask the question what is or is not an official act, and Trump can then ask for rulings to be appealed to the supreme court again.
Poor Leftists scratching their heads NOW how are we going to criminalize a perfect speech!
What an 'official act' is the hard question? Not really - anything the President does can be considered official especially since the motive can not now be questioned!

Any act now stated as an official act, can’t be questioned by a court and no reasoning is required. To take Nixon as an example, he’d just have to say it was an official act and that’s the end of it. No pardon required.
If Biden was to go arrange a hit tomorrow, say the target was a “threat to the US” and it’s an official act then a court would need to prove it was a private act.
Only a court couldn’t do so because the same opinion prevents a court from obtaining evidence, reasoning, details, or any official records on any presidential act stated as an official one. Whether it is or not.
Drone strikes and actions against terrorists have been approved by Congress so it’s a bad example.

It depends what you class as official. If thats all it says in the ruling it needs to be clearer and address the allegations against mr trump whether he is immune or not.If a president is found to be interfering in an election then I would not class that as an official act.I accept a president should be immune only in certain limited cases for anything else. I dont think judges should be appointed by politicians of any party. If a juror is found to be prejudiced then they would not be allowed to sit on a case so I am not sure why that would allowed for judges. Its the kind of thing you may find in a dictatorship if is not clear what is official.
If trump has immunity Why do we pay taxes then btw this is a serious question
all presidents have always had limited immunity...this is actually the Supreme Court, delaying this so long for really a nothingburger ruling....it was a delay tactic to not have it ruled on before the election
Read the Constitution.
Because the lies of MSM don't count as facts for prosecution.
We pay taxes for Biden to send Billion$ to Ukraine and 10% to the BigGuy while putting Americans LAST
If all politicians focused on what they are doing rather than trying to discredit their opposition the world would be a better place.
BBC, panic
My bottom just made a smell. In some parts of uk that's known as a Trump...or next POTUS 😂
It simply says "OFFICIAL Acts are Immune and Unofficial Acts are NOT".
It also says a Prosecutor can NOT assume MOTIVATION for an Official Act and turn it into a crime at his own discretion. 😊 Trump said "Go forth and march Peacefully". 😊 Despite Trump's call for "Peace" - Jack Smith ASSUMED Trump's motivate was bad . 😊 Smith's ridiculous ASSUMPTION of motive is exactly what SCOTUS is opposed to.
A great day for the Western World! The sooner Trump reassumes office, the better 🙏
He was too harsh on Iran and Cuba
Thats the USA officially a Banana Republic. Fascism in the USA. Who would have thought it.
I wouldn’t pay my taxes either if I could get away with it, who wants to anyway
Independence Day this year feels like going to a birthday party for someone with terminal cancer.
Trump is untouchable! 2024
God will ultimately overrule all judges. Mr. Trump will have his day in the True Supreme and Almighty Court!!
