OA854: Trump Lawyers Discover ONE WEIRD TRICK To Get Away With Murder! (Be President.)

"So, I understand your answer to be that if the President uses Seal Team Six to assassinate his political rival, and he hasn't been impeached and convicted by the Senate, he can't be prosecuted."

That really happened. 

Liz and Andrew break down yesterday's pivotal argument before the Court of Appeals of the DC Circuit as to whether Donald Trump has immunity from prosecution for his efforts to steal the 2020 Election because he was the President.

I think a lot of that is a lousy bluetooth/wifi microphone...

For anyone else wondering, I believe Liz's bilingual colloquialism was "[they] don't know their tuchus from their pupik", is roughly analogous to "you don't know your ass from a hole in the ground", but arguably with more implied derision as 'pupik', iirc, translates to belly button.

Well, is it fair to say often they claim to be again the Irak wars and that Bush is a war criminal.(Which I do agree matters of fact the greatest act of my prime minister at that time was to say no.) Those statements are stronger if done during the say event. Not after that my main point. Even more since Bernie is pushing a Bill to get more detail on the possible war crime or event genocide claim push by South Africa(not saying it is the case for both but it does smell fishy so far). This issue makes us (the west) look like hypocrite yet again for our double standard.

I feel like you are missing the forest for the trees with this statement. I respect your stance, but to paint the show hosts as one way or another based off of your worldview on such a nuanced yet narrow topic is a little immature in my opinion.

I fail to see your point. Do i disrespect anyone, insult or make no sense ? ''The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.'' - Edmund Burke

So wait. Is all of this about "impeach and convict" irrelevant because impeachment is Article 1 and prosecution is Article 3? If Trump says that Article 1 and Article 3 courts are the same thing, therefore double jeopardy; then does that not mean that immigrants in the Article 2 courts have a right to a defense lawyer?

Operator error. Proceed

Pierre, please chill

Yet not a word on how the US right now is breaking its own law by providing weapons for mass punishment in Palestine. If you say you were again Iraq war, you won’t be able to say the same this time.
