“Crooked Joe Biden wants PRESIDENTIAL IMMUNITY to be protected perhaps more than any other living (barely!) individual because if it isn’t, and having absolutely nothing to do with me, he will surely be Indicted and Tried for many of his Dishonest, illegal, or Incompetent Actions (Afghanistan disaster, Southern Border catastrophe!). A President should not be placed in that position – MUST BE FREE TO MAKE DECISIONS, HOPEFULLY CORRECT ONES!” posted fat former President Trump on Wednesday, his panic over next week’s Supreme Court arguments suddenly surging.

If this is supposed to be some kind of reverse psychology play then it sure sucks. The whole point of the Supreme Court’s bullshit intervention is to determine where the line is between the regular functions of the presidency and prosecutable crimes. If anything, under the worst case scenario where they decide against Trump but indefinitely delay his DC trial by forcing Judge Chutkan to go through a laborious process to determine which acts were not “official” and thus prosecutable – and then Trump wins the election, then that actually protects Biden personally from legal jeopardy from whatever kind of frivolous bullshit the new MAGA DOJ could try to bring, by like a lot. So no matter where in the fairly narrow band of (realistic) outcomes in US v Trump the decision lands, it is absolutely in Biden’s interest to let Smith continue pushing the case to Los Supremos.
