Rudy Giulanni was disbarred in New York state today.
Steve Bannon began his 4 month sentence in a federal prison in Danbury Connecticut yesterday.
It seems that everybody who has worked for Trump in all of his criminal activities has been punished. Except for one person.
And HE was just granted immunity from everything he did as president.
Interestingly, when the conservative judges who were appointed to the Supreme Court were interviewed, none of them admitted they would give immunity to a president. Neil Gorsuch told Sen. Patrick Leahy "No man is above the law."
Bret Kavanaugh also told the Senate that "no one is above the law" He also said that "the question of self pardons is something I have never analyzed."
Amy Coney Barrett agreed, but when asked about presidential pardons said, "that question may or may hot arise, but that is one that calls for legal analysis of what the scope of the pardon power is.
In Samuel Alito's confirmation hearing he told the senate that "no president, Democratic or Republican, no president is above the law, as neither are you, nor I, nor anyone in this room." He also added that during Watergate it was "the responsibility of the judiciary to holdfast" in forcing President Nixon to abide by subpoenas.
In 2005, Chief Justice Roberts said "I believe that no one is above the law under our system, and that includes the president."
Apparently Clarence Thomas was not asked about presidential immunity.
If Trump is reelected, he will use his newly given immunity to get back at everybody he is angry with. And we are helpless to do anything about it.
