Jack Smith’s Political Prosecution Of Trump Is Designed To Generate Headlines Before Election
Obama-appointed Judge Chutkan gave Banana Republic Dems and corporate media exactly what they were looking for a month before the election.
President Biden might need to take a break from the podium.
After the Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity, the president gave a speech slamming the court’s ruling — which granted former president Donald Trump absolute immunity for presidential actions and presumptive immunity for “official actions.”
Biden claimed in his speech that the ruling allows Trump to do anything, including going after political opponents with the law.
“What I’ve been hearing, Glenn, over the past 24 hours, my understanding is the Supreme Court gave a James Bond license to kill to the president of the United States,” Stu Burguiere jokes to Glenn Beck.
And he’s not wrong — as that is what Biden alluded to.
“This nation was founded on the principle there are no kings in America. Each, each of us is equal before the law. No one is above the law,” Biden said, stumbling through his words. “Today's decision almost certainly means that there are virtually no limits to what a president can do.”
“It’s a dangerous precedent, because the power of the office will no longer be constrained by the law,” the president continued.
Glenn can’t believe what he’s hearing and points out the blatant hypocrisy.
“What they’re saying is he’s going to silence speech. Donald Trump will silence any dissent. And that’s not happening now,” Glenn says sarcastically.
“Let’s say you’re running against a guy who Donald Trump didn’t think he could beat, then he would just make up some charges and then get the guy arrested and then keep him, you know, in the court system, until you finally got him into jail. That’s what Trump could do,” he adds.
Biden was being a hypocrite regarding not only the attempted jailing of Trump but also the jailing of those who participated in the protests on January 6.
“If we’re really going to go all the way, what should be terrifying is that Donald Trump could just round up a whole group of people because he didn’t like them, you know what I mean?” Glenn says.
However, as the Supreme Court ruled, the president’s actions must be constitutional.
“If the president acts in an unconstitutional way, then you can get him. But unless it’s unconstitutional, he can’t do it. So it would be unconstitutional to round up the people that disagreed with you. It would be unconstitutional to silence those who oppose you. It would be unconstitutional to go after your opposing political foe and try to put them in jail,” Glenn continues.
“All things that Joe Biden is currently doing.”

Yesterday, in a landmark decision, the Supreme Court determined in a 6-3 ruling that former presidents have broad immunity from prosecution for actions related to the core powers of their office.
This will send Trump’s case back to the lower courts where it will be determined whether or not his January 6 actions were official or unofficial.
How should we interpret this ruling, and what does it mean going forward? Glenn Beck, Stu Burguiere, and Alan Dershowitz discuss the case.

“I think it’s a win for the republic,” says Glenn.
Dershowitz agrees and adds that it’s likely a win for Donald Trump too, as “it probably means there won't be a trial before the election.”
However, “I think [the ruling] is going to be hard to implement in practice because everything the president does, he does as president. That's very hard to separate out private acts from public acts,” he explains.
Further, “There is no actual official process to figure out whether these are official acts or not, so this is a maze of legal rulings and challenges,” adds Stu.
And there’s another potential problem.
“It's going to be implemented by the lower courts, and the lower court of the District of Columbia [is] completely biased against Trump,” says Dershowitz, adding that “it may come back to the Supreme Court."
But Glenn has a prediction.
If “President Trump loses this election ... these cases will just disappear,” but “if [Trump] wins this election, they'll fight it tooth and nail, and they'll drag him all the way through.”

MSNBC talking head Joy Reid, like many of her liberal peers in the mainstream media, did her part in recent years to present President Joe Biden as capable and competent in hopes of propping him up long enough for Democrats to hold onto the White House for another term. This proved to be a colossal waste of smoke and mirrors as Biden went ahead Thursday and evidenced his mental decline for all to see in his debate with former President Donald Trump.
Reid did not handle the collapse of the illusion well, retreating during a Thursday panel conversation to the comfort of false claims about Trump.
While she managed to make it through the weekend, the U.S. Supreme Court's Monday ruling in Trump v. United States — which determined that a president cannot be charged for performing actions related to the constitutionally established powers of his office — appears to have sent her over the edge.
Reid shared a video to TikTok Monday telling her followers, "This is DEFCON 1, friends."
In her nearly 10-minute meltdown, Reid denigrated the wives of conservative Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas; suggested only the liberals on the high court care about the Constitution; claimed the SCOTUS ruling enables presidents to arbitrarily murder their opponents and renders treason committed by a president legal; and underscored that she would rather a candidate in a vegetative state take the White House than the presumptive Republican nominee.
"There's been a lot of conversation about a certain old person — an old infirm person who had a really bad debate last week," said Reid.
According to Reid, all the related chatter about Biden's decrepitude, both in private as well as in the columns of publications like the New York Times, was rendered "completely irrelevant" by the Supreme Court's ruling.
Reid, who appears to have glossed over or altogether ignored Chief Justice John Roberts' opinion, suggested that the conservative majority on the court "just declared, days before this nation celebrates its independence presumably from the British king, that the president of the United States and a former president of the United States, that they are a king."
"They have granted monarch-like powers to Donald Trump and declared him immune from prosecution for any acts that can be declared official acts, so any acts that he conducts as president," raved Reid.
Reid regurgitated the radical interpretation provided by Justice Sonia Sotomayor in her dissenting opinion, suggesting that the majority's decision would enable Trump to use SEAL Team Six "to try to assassinate one of his political opponents so long as he did it through the auspices of the presidency."
Clearly unmoored by the debate and the ruling, Reid drifted into a scenario where Trump, having deemed Biden a national security threat, has his family murdered with drones "when they take a foreign trip."
After accusing the high court of conferring to presidents the right to arbitrarily murder their opponents while on vacation, Reid smeared Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas' wives of being "insurrectionists." She also turned the "insurrectionist" smear on the two justices, going so far as to explicitly accuse Alito of lying about his wife's role in the New York Times' false flag story.
Despite having excitedly covered the Trump impeachment proceedings, Reid later intimated that Congress' failure to convict the object of her antipathy was proof that presidents cannot ultimately be held accountable for heir alleged crimes.
Upon convincing herself that America is now a monarchic republic with an untouchable executive branch that can execute opponents willy-nilly, Reid concluded that the "election is no longer about the old guy that's in the White House now."
"I no longer care. Doesn't matter to me anymore. It's above me now. It's above me now," continued Reid. "Don't care about Joe Biden's age, infirmity, that he shuffle [sic] when he walk [sic]. I don't care. He could be seated for the rest of, from now to Election Day and never get up off a chair. He could sit down, he could roll around in a wheelchair. ... I don't care. Donald John Trump cannot be allowed back into the White House."
Deep into Reid's rant, she had an apparent change of mind and determined that conservative Supreme Court justices are also now American kings.
"They are trying to repeal the entire 20th century," claimed Reid, "and they're doing it fast."
Reid suggested finally that people who did not agree with her were "delusional."
