After years of assembling datapoints around the potential for the Supreme Court to be compromised, it was the discovery of Mary McCord’s husband Sheldon Snook deep in the office of Chief Justice John Roberts that finally sealed the deal for me personally. Yes, the Supreme Court is compromised.
Quick Context. Mary McCord was the architect of all Trump targeting efforts. The FISA on Carter Page, the weaponization of the DOJ-NSD, the installation of Michael Atkinson as Intelligence Community Inspector General (ICIG), the companion to Sally Yates in the Flynn targeting, lead staff for the Schiff/Nadler impeachment effort, later appointment by FISA Presiding Judge Boasberg to be amicus to the FISC, in combination with Chief Justice John Roberts holding authority over the FISC, and the discovery that Sheldon Snook, McCord’s husband works in Robert’s office as “special assistant to Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr.’s counselor. The counselor’s office advises the chief justice not only on the management and budget of the Supreme Court but also on his interactions with the executive and legislative branches, along with numerous other public roles in which Roberts serves.” (link)
Mary McCord is the fulcrum point for all of the above issues. She connects all of the targeting operations. Mary McCord is the center of it, and John Robert’s office is compromised by the appointment of her husband Sheldon Snook. So, this story below does not surprise me.
Special Prosecutor Jack Smith jumped over the appeals court and asked the Supreme Court to decide on President Trump’s position of presidential immunity for his requests to secure the integrity of the 2020 election while in office. In the fastest turn around time in history, the Supreme Court [Robert’s office] said yes, they will hear the arguments.
WASHINGTON DC – Special counsel Jack Smith is urging the Supreme Court to urgently resolve Donald Trump’s claim that he’s immune from prosecution for charges related to his bid to subvert the 2020 election.
Without the Supreme Court’s swift intervention, Trump’s trial could be indefinitely delayed, the special counsel warned in a petition to the high court on Monday.
That’s because the trial, scheduled to begin March 4, is effectively suspended while Trump pursues his appeal of the trial judge’s ruling rejecting his immunity arguments, Smith wrote. Resolution of the novel legal question is necessary to ensure the case proceeds “promptly,” he argued.
By coming directly to the Supreme Court, Smith is hoping to bypass a federal appeals court and is mounting an aggressive bid to keep the timing of the election-focused trial on track. If the March 4 trial date sticks, it would be the first trial for Trump in the four criminal cases he is facing as he mounts a bid for re-election to the White House.
[…] The justices acted quickly on Smith’s motion. In a brief order Monday afternoon, they directed Trump’s lawyers to respond by Dec. 20 to the prosecutor’s request for the Supreme Court to add the case to its docket for this term. (read more)
There’s your inflection point timeframe.
The executive branch wants Trump on trial by Super Tuesday, March 5th the main primary election date. The legislative branch wants to extend warrantless surveillance, the mechanism to exploit the Trump supporter targeting operation, through April 19th. [Patriots Day 👀]
There’s the 2024 detonation timeframe, between March and mid-April.
Elon Musk herds all the MAGA groups and “domestic violent extremists” into the Twitter stadium. All seats are filled by March. Boom, everyone scrambles. Thousands of subpoenas released as part of the metadata hit list.
Why is Ketanji Brown Jackson referenced here? Was that not a Page/Stzok conversation? I am not aware of Brown Jackson having any connection to that whatsoever. Am I missing something?
Having some fun with reality….
Probably the first scotus judge installed as a direct result of election fraud. Works for team Joebama just like Page/Stroke et. al. Pretending aside.
POTUS, and his cohorts in crime, already know what we’re doing. We’ve made it easy for them with smart phones and smart TVs and GPS and cameras everywhere spying on everything. Just like Orwell said.
Supercilious Eric Holder resembles Big Brother.
Angry Mary McCord is taking that atrocious mug she got out on the whole population of the country.
Liberal women have destroyed our world.
I have a Fox News Alert Meme with her mug on it too.
Jack Smith should be the very first person Trump, if elected, destroys! Hanging by his testicles would be warranted!
He’d have to have some first.
Would have to use 16 gauge wire.
If Trump is the man I think he is. He will sweep out the whole place with a broom, and with the help of Flynn! They all have to go, even Republicans have to go!
You’re making a very broad assumption Smith has anything below the belt. He’s nothing but a lawfare puppet.
If he had any, he would have walked away from this witch hunt years ago. Pick another body part.
Jack Smith is just a highly paid useful idiot. The real threats to our nation and our freedoms come from people and groups not even identified.

Trump said Deranged Jack should be careful what he wishes for.
Everyone needs to leave Twitter…NOW
It is impossible to leave something I’ve never used.
I have never written a single comment, because I’ve never joined.
I have read Twatter (X) comments from time to time, and still do.
So, I guess in a small way I still support Twatter (X).
Big brother’s tentacles are everywhere.
I hear that brother!
I have a liberal neighbor whom I would occasionally converse with while doing lawn work. Some time back I was trimming some shrubbery on a very hot summer day. I was enjoying a beer break in some shade when he saw me and came over to chat. He was all torqued up over something political he had read on Twitter and asked me if I had seen it. He was astonished when I told him that I hadn’t, and that I didn’t use Twitter. He seemed to be unable to believe that anyone could possibly not be a member of the platform and he said: “Don’t you tweet?” After a pregnant pause I looked him in the eye and said: “Do I look like a F***ing bird? I don’t have a Farce Book account so I can tell the world what a good bowel movement I had, and what I had for breakfast either.”
I guess I hurt his feelings. That was a few summers ago, and he hasn’t spoken to me since.
SEMPER FI!
Why?
scared huh?
fight or flight
Jimi, you’re already on the carbon reduction list. Being on Twitter ain’t gonna make a huge difference to whether you are 500th in line or 700th, on the way to the WEF gulag.

Using Twitter to expose the Democrat is good.
Using Twitter to expose the Democrat is fun.
Using Twitter to expose the Democrat can help put Trump in the White House..
Exposing the Democrat is a never ending job and people should use all the media tools to do it.
” In the fastest turn-around time in history, the Supreme Court [Robert’s office] said yes, they will hear the arguments.”
Faster than the fastest super computer! Dirtier than a NYC subway! Able to leap the Constitution in a single bound!
And I was worried that the dems would pack the Supreme Court.
They are already packed.
There is a truism/fact in the legal profession that a lawyer NEVER asks a question that he/she does not ALREADY know the answer to!
…and so you would NOT ask for an ‘expedited’ answer unless you were absolutely sure you knew the answer in advance.
The goose has been cooked – just waiting for it to be served!
Tucker is right – this can only lead to a bad outcome!

I’d like to think Kavenaugh and Barrett won’t follow Roberts.
I suspect both of them are not who we were sold. Just my gut. Hope I’m wrong.
They are both Mitch McConnell picks. Nuff said.
Thomas, Alito, and maybe Gorsuch are solid . Barrett, Kavenaugh and Roberts are cowards that are intimidated by the lefties.
The SCOTUS majority see President Trump as the disrupter. Easier to get rid of President Trump than the weaponized swamp and justice system. SCOTUS is compromised and not even hiding it. IOW, we are on our own, SCOTUS is on the other team. Gonna get very ugly. Still, I will vote only Trump, period.
Also anything Trump, left will demand Gorsuch, Kavenaugh snd Barrett recuse and will be riots if they don’t.
Just two more setups, gutless they are not, deceivers when needed.
The court has been directly threatened by the left multiple times in the past few years. Remember the violent rent a mobs? Can you imagine how the deep-state would have responded to that if the threats were against the three communist females? Everyone within a mile of that protest would be in prison today.
Clarence Thomas will be the first justice to get “Trumped” in 2025 when the democrats take full control of government, aided by the GOP. Then Alito will get it. The other pretend conservatives are already in-line and under Roberts’ thumb. Turban-Durbin is setting the table for ethics hearings against both Thomas and Alito.
The left never quits and they always keep fighting and winning. They can maintain hundreds of successful battlefronts concurrently. Best the right can do is win a Twitter pillow-fight once a week and then crow about it on Redstate and PJmedia. Our nation is so screwed.
That’s the spirit. <sarc>
Special Counsel Jack Smith Asks Supreme Court to Decide Trump Immunity – Highest Court Immediately Drops all Business to Comply With Special Counsel Request
That could be good or bad. There aren’t enough reliable justices there to give me a warm fuzzy.
SCOTUS has a real mess on its hands. No sane person believes these trials are anything other than Soviet style political persecutions. It’s just that one side agrees with the Soviets running the trials.
The problem SCOTUS has is that the Courts still derive their power from the law. Once everyone comes to grips with the fact that the “law” is whatever bullshit crime the regime decides, and the judges are there to rubber stamp it, the us NO POINT to anyone obeying the law. In a world where everyone is a criminal waiting for the government to pounce, only suckers obey the law.
You don’t need judges in that system, just trigger men.
Kavanaugh and Roberts can’t wait to destroy Trump.
Mr. Snook told Mary Mac that he has CJ John Roberts all softened-up and ready to rule the dim-way. She went to Smith and said, ‘the time is now.’ Spouses can’t testify against each other, but can’t we ask for her communication with Smith?
Uh, don’t bother. They will leave no paper trail. Disgusting!
It is called pillow talk in polite circles, even federal judicial ones.
Sheldon Snook left his position at SCOTUS in 2020.
I’m sure he was replaced with a fellow traveler.

I’ve long thought the Sups were compromised when they upheld Obamacare. You don’t need to be a judge to recognize boneheaded legal reasoning.
And there’s long been Robert’s is a pedophile conspiracy theories out there. I’m not convinced Trump’s appointees aren’t ringers, either. They’d hear no election interference cases, but take this up immediately?
I wish I were more positive.

They have been corrupt much longer. They decided Roe v. Wade which went against the constitution, it is and always has been a states issue. They also continue to allow the feds to bribe the states by granting or withholding money to gain compliance.
Imperial City corruption right out in the open, daring you to do something about it. The Supremes will put the knife in, and twist. The play is this: when SCOTUS rules against Trump, the statist assume his hold on the unwashed masses will finally be broken, as SCOTUS is considered by the deplorables to be the one institution that maybe still fair. The statist pigs once again underestimate MAGA though, because we know SCOTUS is as interested in protecting the corrupt system as we are in destroying it. Trump or death!
I’m no Alex Jones but I predicted this chaos in the summer of 2017 when the GOP started shiving Trump in the back.
I thank PDJT for his exposing how absolutely corrupt the government is! All 4 branches are corrupt to the core! This didn’t happen overnight! It will take decades and tons of prosecutions to straighten out. Actions must be held to account! Prices MUST be paid. The start is at the local level. There is no 2 Party system, it’s all birds of a feather…
So game over. Pack it up we are all f’d anyway. I don’t have kids. Good luck to you all. They have won. There is no hope and no avenue out.
I’m not kidding. They hold all the cards, all of them.
yea, but you are for sure going to make the win it, and not just get it for free
so dont bother yourself with this illusion crap. PDJT is running a revolution under the guise of an election (for legal cover)(and they are spying cause they know for covering their ass)
this election is a good time for people to unite on something at the same time.
Why even have CTH when we’ve lost. TheAkh, you aren’t the only one who knows the game is over. Sundance knows it is over too.

So, you’re speaking for Sundance?
I choose to believe and will pray on that, that this will have an unexpected outcome – John Roberts will lead a majority to decide this in favor of President Trump and all future Presidents.
Thank you, Jesus . . . thank You dear God. Hallelujah for all of our blessings, for this great country of ours, persevering in faith.
Pray for everyone.
Not hardly….not by a long shot.
I was hoping for FL or TX to be ready to secede but their Governors are turds. The rest of the GOP guvs are losers as well.
Texas is the only state that can legally secede because it was an independent country between their war to gain independence from Mexico and their admittance to the United States.
I’ve read about this former island kingdom which became a protectorate, now known as the state of Hawaii. They were once independent as well, for 83 years. (Texas was only a republic for nine years.)
Following the Bear Flag Revolt of 1846, California existed as an independent nation—for 25 days.
No they don’t.
God always has the last word.

The ‘country’ is over. The American people are not. Do you know how many times throughout human history nations have been conquered by other groups? The anomaly is us. This is our first time. Once the globalists cheat again the last shreds of legitimacy will be dust in the wind. There will be no more illusions. The next phase then begins: national revival and liberation.
Evil globalists are great at stealing and destroying, but they have shown no aptitude for even mere maintenance of civilization, much less the capacity to build anything new that will inspire the rest of the world to follow them. Even now, what little support they have from the rest of the world stems from bribery and intimidation. ‘Brand post-America’ is illegal alien feces festering on the sidewalk. We are still very numerous. Never give up.
If their plans were always successful, then we would be in Hillary Clinton’s second term right with a vaccine passport system. A lot can happen between now and November 2024.
Bingo.
With all due respect, do you really believe that Trump didn’t have a clue this exact thing would happen? Our President Trump is playing this all out expertly. All of the corruption is being brought out into broad daylight, the roaches are scared to death and scattering, and there is much more to come.
Briar patch.
They are actually losing. We know all their plans, and will not go along. Follow armstrongeconomics.com he knows the globalist scum. They`re getting scared. Everything has been exposed.
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2020/12/12/supreme-court-refuses-to-consider-texas-election-lawsuit-based-on-original-jurisdiction/
this was an upset when they refused this…
I have not followed the legal arguments, but I do know President Trump did nothing that could remotely support criminal charges.
Here is my question: If Obama is on trial in 2025 for all his treason, do we want him to be able to have Presidential immunity?
The difference in trying Obama for treason is there is plenty of evidence against him now as a private citizen and PDJT was still POTUS on Jan 6.
And if he used the powers of the presidency to do treasonous things, like bypass a judgment against Iran and avoid the SWIFT system to send billions to an enemy of the US?
Should we be able to prosecute him for those treasonous acts?
No immunity for treason under UCMJ, but it is called espionage then.
Treason is for civilian courts.
Interesting point. I’m not sure you can try the C in C under the UCMJ?
Better for the American people to see Obama in the civilian dock, I think.
CIC of military selling out the country. That makes him an eligible.
Oh, yes you can.
The President is not even a member of the military. To try the President, the military would have to stage a coup like in a banana republic.
Under the Constitution, the President is Commander in Chief of the armed forces. It is a separate function from the Presidency, and it is military in nature.
That’s why the Marines salute, and he salutes back, as their superior officer.
Derek Johnson has been making the case for quite a while that President Trump is still the C in C, and functioning as such. His analysis is based on a close examination of everything from uniforms to ceremonies.
I am not qualified to evaluate his analysis, but it sure sounds correct.

Ummm. Look around you!
Should Supremes rule in favor of Jack, what does that mean for say Joe Biden and possible lawsuits, indictments, etc against him? In a perfect world of course, where Democrats go to jail, or are charged at all with silly things like treason.
Or Obama and Billy?

This whole 2020 Election scenario is just strange.
Smith is looking to convict our VSGPDJT for ‘attempting to subvert’ the election; to me, that sounds like a ‘pre-election’ state of mind.
The J6 protest has been out and out deemed ‘an insurrection’.
Is the government trying to prove that PDJT‘ knew’ the election was rigged before it was held, and did nothing to obstruct that rigging — instead, he riled up the crowd on J6 in order to incite ‘an insurrection’ as his ‘favored’ reaction to the rigging?
President Trump said more than a few times that he was going to be re-elected, no contest, UNLESS the election was rigged.
It should be clear that there were plenty of people working inside his administration that did, indeed, facilitate election fraud.
By pinning knowledge of that on Trump himself, is the government’s case that, since he did not do anything to stop the rigging, he is culpable in the ‘insurrection’ because he did not act when he could have to save his presidency in order to bring about ‘the insurrection’?
there you go thinking logically and reasonably again
No. They cannot surrender the illusion of democracy. To do what you say would tank Trump, but likely restore elections, and cause the deep state to lose. Nope they want Trump gone. They are doing it to defeat us.
Let them have their “democracy”. The Founding Fathers knew well what lay at the end of that road which is why they referenced it as mob rule.
We were bequeathed a Republic, and it’s about time for us to reclaim it for our posterity.
AMEN!!!
Restore the lost principles.
Yeah… that’s why Trump wanted tens of thousands of national guard on site. And Democrats Bowser and Pelosi refused.
.
I am sure PDJT did NOT PLAN any of this.
I believe he saw the proof of the election fraud (IIRC he came out on election night and said something about ‘catching them all’).
I think he thought he would get supported by those who he was with that evening, as they ‘caught them all’, too.
My imagination derives a scenario whereby PDJT was presented with an ultimatum : ‘if you expect us to out the cheating in order for you to remain in the presidency, then you will do things our way’.
Of course, President Trump turned that down and was set-up on J6 (protests/rally’s had been planned before his by various other groups) along with thousands of patriots, by Pence and Pelosi, with turtle trudging along.
The evidence of that set-up is what Jack Smith is trying to head-off at the pass; thus, his play is to have Trump Administration ‘officials’ testify that Trump knew the election was rigged, but opted to let the rigging go on in order to ‘catch them all’.
However, the courts and media did not allow that tidbit any traction, and the Congress, knowing, THEiR own elections were rigged as well, have surpressed any talk, evidence, proof of same.
Of course, PDJT wanted the National Guard deployed, not to assist in an insurrection, but to enable all those present a secure manner in which to redress their grievances, which he KNEW we all deserved.
Your imagination?
But, being a builder, maybe he looked ahead and did just that!
What a post, SD! Kudos
Everybody notice all the IC connections to the IC and Mary McCord.
Reminder my past comments regarding Mary McCord’s past? It is an enigma.
No one knows anything about her parents, but she grew up in DC.
She would have been a child when Frank McCord of CIA / Watergate infamy was in action against Nixon. ????? 🛎️ 🔔
And he went there in Roberts.
Notice SD’s last exclamation. Point I’ve been making repeatedly:
Musk is and has been baiting people to join X so they can be targeted by the DS/IC later!!!!!!!
It’s all controlled by the IC!!!!! All of it!
a member of the beach group also. for the kavanaugh rape abuse via humiliation.
BK, I think she grew up in Missouri. FWIW.
No. I distinctly remember her attending school in DC area.
Just checked again. Been scrubbed, like some others in the past.
You should see just how little there is now online. And it wasn’t much before.
Update:
Born 1964 Pittsburgh
Moved to Georgetown (DC) as a child and attended school there.
Time would have been when Frank was an operative.
Anybody notice Sundance’s 👀 on April 19, calling it Patriot Day?
Officially, September 11.
Significance of April 19? Lexington and Comcord.
The IC is sending a message. Symbolism!
They’re coming after us.
whats the charge?
or are they just coming?
Do they need one?
DVE would be my preliminary guess.
Make em up like J6.
They took away Washington’s Birthday, too, and throw him in the pot with all presidents. Erasing our history.
I think it’s Patriot’s Day in Massachusetts.
Prayers. That the first and last thing to do.
I like the one that calls down fire and brimstone on the priests of Ba’al
Which, we deserve, considering all the pedophilia, not to mention the child sacrifice of abortion!
AMEN!
I believe this is the initial hearing to determine IF the Justices will actually hear arguments to answer Special Counsel Smith’s question. Roberts actually agreed to move the question before the court to consider if the issue should be considered and he fast tracked the “consideration” hearing.
A vote of 4 out of 9 is needed to actually put the case on the docket, for a formal hearing.
The Government (Special Counsel Smith) already has the 4 votes …. 3 leftists + Roberts … to approve the case for trial as well as 4 votes agreeing with Government (that President Trump has NO immunity) related to outcome.
Now it becomes a guessing game as to how Kavenaugh, Barret and Gorsuch will vote during the actual hearing.
In this particular situation 5 out of 9 is required. It is no longer a guessing game.
Nope … not the preliminary decision to determine if the case is actually worth the time of the court to actually take up the case. 4 out 9 is to agree or not agree to actually hear the case, which has zero to do with hearing arguments for and against the issue … 5 of 9 is needed when the court formally takes up deciding the issue.
Just a hunch,
I don’t think this court will fast track it;
instead they will say this is premature, to wait and see what the lower court does, and then inform Jack Smith or whatever his real name is to bring it back to the Supreme Court if he loses in the lower court, then the proper procedure will be to appeal to the Supreme Court.
I just don’t see this court giving the Democrats a rallying cry to get voters to the polls by screaming that voters need to re-elect FJB so he can pack the supreme court with more than 9 justices.
That prospect alone, making the Court itself the center of the Presidential race may be the one reason for this court to tell Smith to just wait and see what the appellate court has to say – anything to make this case go away until after the 2024 election, which may include letting the appellate court know that it should grant PDJT’s team of lawyers more time to go over the material, so set a later (after the election) court date.
I recall reading somewhere (maybe the constitution) the Supreme Court has primary jurisdiction in very few situations and appellate jurisdiction everywhere else with exceptions and regulations by the Congress.
Did the Congress rule while we were sleeping that the Court has now primary jurisdiction on a Hail Mary from an Inferior Officer who is neither elected nor appointed?
rules schmools, they make it as they go along, anything is possible now
and market on tv what they are about to do to us – so its all believable.
True! We’re so stupid now as a society!!!!!!
Interlocutory appeal expedited due to pending election and key presidential powers question.
Like the Nixon tapes.
Not very surprising.
The Constitution has been ignored for decades.
And it’s past time to return it to it’s rightful place!!!
This is an appeal from a lower court. Primary jurisdiction only concerns cases that are filed in the SC first.
Texas had no standing in the court of original jurisdiction on lawsuits between the states. Texas was joined by 20 other states. NO STANDING. Yet this weasel Jack Smith leaps over the appeals court on a related and spurious case. You bet your ass Roberts is compromised.
Roberts tried to hide from election fraud in 202o, here we are again. Full circle. Roberts caused all this with his failure to address the Texas case. This was a chief injustice of 2020 fraud. SCOTUS caused J6, almost as much as the cheaters did. Now Roberts gets a chance to make it right, or make it go away. I’m not betting he does the right thing.
Yes, Roberts showed a long time ago that he is a compromised POS.
And you wonder if the SC is compromised?
Again it is a core question of the separation of powers and powers of the presidency under the constitution. As such it is a pure question of law. Standing is given, because there is a criminal prosecution.
I’m not saying the court was correct about Texas, just that this isn’t as squirrelous as all that.
did National Security get spoke about in the Constitution the way they are using it currently? bypassing oversight, access…
The constitution never contemplated a 4th branch.
IMHO, the whole SES is against the constitutional framework, and has rotted it out from underneath.
Ashli Babbit would be alive if not for Roberts. Bloody John Roberts.
Makes me want to spit!!!
Oh, please don’t insult weseals!
Fresh in the minds of the SCOTUS is the 2016 9-0 decision for Virginia’s governor Bob McDonnell, who was prosecuted by Smith.
The High Court rebuked Smith and warned that “the uncontrolled power of criminal prosecutors is a threat to our separation of powers.”
Seems like that could be the case here as well.
good line to read from article:
There’s the 2024 detonation timeframe, between March and mid-April.
Elon Musk herds all the MAGA groups and “domestic violent extremists” into the Twitter stadium. All seats are filled by March.
Boom, everyone scrambles. Thousands of subpoenas released as part of the metadata hit list.
the legal argument that will be reviewed at scotus in my own opinion, simplified as I can possibly make it simple to understand.
The argument centers of Presidential Immunity, which is contained in the constitution. (I will explain this below, it’s complicated)
Before the scotus is the argument from SP smith that President Trump may be prosecuted for alleged crimes AFTER leaving office.
The counter-argument from President Trump defense is that A) He is shielded by Presidential Immunity B) His actions were in the official conduct of the office of the President of the United States.
so here is my prediction: scotus will take this case and make a determination on two simple tests:
did the presidents actions represent official POTUS action, yes or no
are the criminal charges AND evidence so substantial that scotus would overturn its former stare decisis ruling related to president immunity wrt title II?
depending on these two tests, scotus will either:
acknowledge President Trumps’ argument and rule his presidential immunity stands and thus these charges may not be applied to him.
or they will disagree with the argument and allow the court case to go forward, but REQUIRE that the prosecutor PROVE that he is schroedingers cat…both a president and a private person…which clearly he is not quantum spooky action at a distance . Just angry and not polite about having the election stolen.
God Bless America
…..and per your last paragraph- before a D.C. jury.
I will be absolutely surprised if Trump doesn’t go to jail Regitiger.
That will be a Fort Sumter moment.
I worry about an extension or re-application of the ruling in US vs Nixon which found that there was no “absolute, unqualified Presidential privilege of immunity from judicial process under all circumstances” as Nixon was claiming.
yes, but the difference in the two cases have to do with evidence…clearly jack smith is pursuing a case based on theory and unproven intent….state of mind. And so far, I’ve not seen any witnesses or evidence that is compelling to prove he was leading or even suggesting a insurrection or a mob protest at the capitol. In all the recordings of his speeches and what we know so far, there just doesn’t seem to be anything that stands as a smoking gun that he somehow managed to put together an eclectic outfit of people all over the country, coordinate them to mob up and spin up the capitol police and send congressional members to the tunnels. Nope…not even taking advantage of the opportunity that presented itself….he was very careful about how he framed his anger and resentment about the election theft and voting irregularities. peaceful protest..and with no direct ties to any of these people…that is a big difference compared to nixon case.
with nixon (And I’m still on the fence on exactly his involvement) there were tapes, recorded that showed 100 percent his state of mind, in his own words, and very specific…and followed with coverup evidence.
the two cases are very different. I don’t think scotus would even consider the two remotely similar (but then again this is black robe land, so who knows what crazy crap they come up with).
The problem is that the Supreme Court is not being asked to weigh the evidence in Jack Smith’s case. It is being asked if the president can be prosecuted in court or does he have immunity for his actions as president.
I’m not sure they can do that. I mean sure, they could do that. But there is a central issue here that is very different in many conditions. He’s the president. The charges allege an intent to not just break the law, but to violate the constitution (the element of insurrection…unlawfully using the power of POTUS to interfere with and election). The substance of the allegation is just as important as the argument over whether he is immune. the two issues are co-lateral so much that one could not possibly make a decision without understand the allegation of the indictment.
But I also agree with you for too (yes, this case of complicated). At this point, the prosecutor has NOT presented all of the evidence, only the basic charges/allegations. This “fast track” presents the black robes without the benefit of deciding based on the broader context…what does the evidence indicate?
so I dunno. I think yes, black robes might not be capable at this time to measure the strength or weakness of this case, and will probably only weigh in on the immunity.
see, you made me think hard and about it some more. Good. Thank you.
I am confident that no matter what happens, President Trump is going to win this case. I understand the corruption that happens in DC and the jury are almost always poisoned, but lets not forget, at the end he has the right to an appeal…and that might very well go to scotus too. So we are far from calling this game. far from it. I’m not afraid. The enemy wants to skirmish. We shall skirmish.
God Bless America
Thank you!
If Scotus rules in favour of the persecution, one would should anticipate a near collapse of the U.S. as a truly functioning nation.
Who the F#*k would be anything but a rebel..
Cheers!
“Near”, Deke?
The gaping wound in our politics is by design of the Democrats who executed a written plan to corrupt elections. The hatch by John Podesta, Rosa Brooks, Ian Bassin, et al. entailed State secession if they could not install Biden.
President Trump should pray with David’s Psalm 27 of which this is a small part:
Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,
for false witnesses rise up against me,
spouting malicious accusations.
I remain confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the Lord
in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the Lord.
And truly all of us need to be praying this. We seem to be so surrounded by the forces of evil and destruction.
Amen!
What a fricking nightmare 😳
Isn’t it such a coincidence that these people all have spouses in strategically expedient jobs and they never share the same last name?
Follow the wives.
“Isn’t it such a coincidence that these people all have spouses in strategically expedient jobs and they never share the same last name?”
Of course not.
Asking for a friend – Might one reasonably wonder then if “SNOOK” might be the crook that leaked the Dobb’s decision?
The probability is high.
That’s a BINGO!
Am looking forward to reading President Trump’s lawyers response to the Court’s request, which isn’t due until December 20th, should be a doozy.
They demand a response in 9 days – NINE DAYS! That is an unbelievable deadline. Sidetracking his lawyers and their staffs from other pursuits to work on this. Putting more pressure on those lawyers.
I have a hunch PDJT’s lawyers have been itching to get a word or two in front of this Supreme Court so are excitedly putting together their response even now, burning the midnight candles.
Once PDJT’s lawyers file their response, then Jack Smith or whatever his real name will be given time to reply to that response – and then, after that, the Supreme Court will decide (they need not less than 4 justices to agree) to take it on, or tell him his application is premature.
Just because we see the word expedited doesn’t mean this won’t drag out until after the New Year begins.
The only thing expedited here is the response / consideration of the petition for certiorari. It will take 4 votes to grant the cert. After that (assuming SCOTUS takes cert, an open question), there would be a briefing schedule on the actual immunity issues. SCOTUS would set a hearing date for oral argument after that and the case would be placed on the calendar. SCOTUS could take months to rule after that.
The Court also wants to look “neutral” here, so granting expedited consideration of the cert position does that. It’s not clear whether Trump will argue for or against an expedited hearing (likely not). And the immunity questions are novel ones of first impression to the Court — in the normal course, the Court would likely want to review the decision of the Circuit court below. And, there is nothing the Court likes better than to take novel constitutional law issues of first impression and engineer scenarios where they don’t have to be decided at all. Bottom line is that SCOTUS can very easily kick the can here until after the election, while deciding nothing, while waiting to see if the election outcome moots the issues entirely.
Smith is doing this out of desperation to try to keep the ridiculous March 4th trial date.
McCord is a man
If she is now, then version 1.0 is dead.
Let’s just say, DC is a small town – and she used to like her Margaritas.
Was definitely a woman.
Believe half of what you hear and none of what you see.
Staggering. Stomach turning. A cesspool of corruption.
I figure this is the guy Zero used to push Roberts into the Roe vs Wade reversal.
Not to undo a wrong, but to create a rallying cry for the masses of the murderously selfish.

“It’s a man, baby!”
So somebody you don’t even know sits down beside you and says” We will kill your entire family, your dog and your best friend if you don’t do this or that….” and what do you do ? That’s the level of shit that’s going down.
They said that exact thing to Zelensky in March 2020 when he was going to sign with the Russians. Now there are 550,000 dead Ukrainians and Ukraine may cease to exist. These people are evil and GOD is not on the side of the USA right now.
You make the person who just sat down beside you responsible for those who are threatening to kill your family. If your family and friends are fine, that person will be fine.
for anyone having anxiety or fear or hand wringing, or just wants to check out, I just want to say this:
this is a war. Respect that we are in a war. Acknowledge and accept that as the reality you are facing.
now you can either give up and starve to death and let the thousand cuts tear you apart,
or you can get to work and start solving problems. and then solve the next problem..and then the next.
and when you have solved enough problems, then you get to go home…
so choose. choose wisely out of self interest.
we have not even gotten to the fighting part yet. Some might even say, it’s going to get a lot more ugly and unpleasant. If you understand and accept what that means, and you have strong faith in a righteous cause, and are obedient to God, you have nothing to fear. truly, fearlessness is not about being brave…it is accepting that pain is going to happen and that you will overcome it. it’s just that simple. Yes, it will hurt…lots…but there are some things far worse than death. and to me, allowing this kind of criminal element win is just not an option.
jack smith?> they better have a whole lot better bunch of criminals..he’s just a common thug…he’ll fall down at the slightest push. they almost always do. our worst enemies in this war, is the temptation to assume someone else is going to come flying in on white horses.
I’ll repeat it again…YOU ARE THE WHITE HORSES COMING TO SAVE YOU. You will be among millions also steadfast and unwilling to be afraid of these corruptors. Stop worrying and just get busy. If you don’t know what to do, then just pray…that is always going to be the best thing anyone can do.
God, please have mercy on this country and provide for the safety and the return of President Trump as our President.
it’s a simple, 10 second prayer. That’s what you do if you don’t know how to fight.
God Bless America
God Bless America
God bless you, Regi.
Well said indeed.
Great Stuff!
Millions here in Canada feel the same way.
I do not possess your writing skills, but my resolve is strong.
These C#*ts were working in the dark.
President Trump has exposed them and they are scurrying like the rats they are.
Cheers!
I am surprised and still trying to digest what I’ve read on the Treehouse tonight. Not sure I understand why all comments seem to be tending to the worst possible scenario re J. forking Smith(if that is even his real birth given moniker) petition to a “diverse ” Supreme Court full of , well, diverse characters.
Sitting here, I actually don’t care what the “Supreme’s” do in this in this case, because my intent is to keep my soul intact, by any means I have learned to gather into my toolchest..
MAGA.
McCord is one ugly witch inside and out.
The photo of McCord.
Is that a man dressed as a woman?
I hope that is sarcasm. The proof is out there, as a group, women cant govern, make good decisions, execute a plan or execute teamwork.
I agree that Roberts is compromised. He decloaked during Obamacare. Not sold on the rest. Trump has an outstanding record of wins against this kind of Lawfare trash at SCOTUS.
The other problem they have is that any trial on or about Super Tuesday locks Trump’s victory in. There will be no challenger in the race after that point with a numerical chance of winning. In fact, base voters inclined to vote for someone else will vote for Trump out of revenge.
They won’t need Twitter at that point. They can just start arresting Republican voters for war crimes or some other made up absurdity.
These trials are improving Trump’s standing with voters because Jack Smith is proving Trump right.
it is definitely oversold and well beyond desperation…the rebound effect is palpable.
I was watching NEWSMAX today, just happened to find something interesting. had a pretty good legal discussion.
in a nutshell, there has never been a person accused and charged with so many different crimes. Not in US history. This is something that we see, but do not realize fully. Even mob bosses were never indicted in different jurisdictions for different crimes at the same time like this.
so the person watching, even if they really don’t like President Trump at all, they see something very wrong. Very wrong, even if they would prefer he not be president. This does shape a paradigm and it’s not trivial. This is what we call a change of heart. it might not add up to a vote change, but it also means that people are starting to wake up and be very suspicious of what the dude/dudette on the idiot box is saying. It also helps that President Trump is well remembered as a fantastic economic success for everyone and joe malarkey and his brand of stupid could not get ice sold in a desert.
for reference, there are 5 (four) different cases against President Trump running simultaneous
federal election interference
georgia election interference
classmat case
hush money
new york civil fraud case
the 4 amount to 91 felony counts and the last civil fraud case …I’m not sure how many counts that really is…may just be a single civil fraud case resulting in a transfer of millions to the state, and perhaps even a prohibition to do business in the state of ny.
so when people read about these things…they come to one of two possible conclusions.
president trump has got to be the worst criminal that there ever was to have this many different cases and charges placed against him
OR
there is a coordinated effort to prevent him from running and winning the next election, where he stands right now in very single poll, at a record gap between the nearest competition.
most people don’t believe in coincidences.
God Bless America
There are no coincidences in politics.
I guess I will not hear the Rhyming until I start the beat.
Thank you..
IMO the more judicial actions are taken (don’t forget to keep President Trump from ballot) more voter realise that lawfare against him is a scam:
Nearly Half Of Dems Say Charges Against Trump Are Politically Motivated: I&I/TIPP Poll – Issues & Insights (issuesinsights.com)
I hope that there are sufficient organisations that take good care of ground game as many mulls are out there!
It would be nice if the Supreme Court looked at election fraud in an expeditious manner. I hope the court understands that if America doesn’t have a free and fair election in 2024 with Trump on the ballot, there won’t be an America. There will be 50 Ketanjis on the Supreme Court, and those “conservatives” justices will wish they didn’t have life time appointments.
oh I think the black robes were very efficient with the cases of election fraud..it was over before it even got to the steps. that’s how quick.
now, having said that…there is a bit of difference here….see, scotus did not reject Trumps argument! In fact, they could have just refused to even put it on schedule and not provided a single public statement reasons why. They have done this before, several times, and some that are so preposterous we can only exclaim : inexplicable (as thomas made famous in the paxton case, where the court ruled in light speed time that standing/jurisdiction did not exist)…
so this time, when we see the courts taking up the argument, we can expect them to rule on it…whether that goes to favor President Trump or not, is yet to be seen. I am still of good reason to believe that scotus will not take this lightly…for sure we know the radicals and how they will vote. But I think there is something here far more critical that even the black robes understand.
think of it this way, and I kind of hit on it in my comments above. If scotus rules that the president of the united state can be held liable for official actions while in office, and charged for those actions AFTER leaving office, then this invites the very real possibility that this precedent also follows to
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.
OFFICERS OF GOVERNMENT (directors, secretaries, chiefs, and cabinet officials, and other heads of agencies/departments)
It could ALSO invite the same precedent that would allow SUPREME COURT JUSTICES TO NOT HAVE IMMUNITY FROM OFFICIAL ACTION.
so this is really a very big deal, and there are of course, many players here who might not think it would be such a great idea to stick it to President Trump only to find themselves in a pickle down the road…
just my opinion…yes, I know how DC operates…it’s a combination of rush to judgement and witch hunting combined with a ton of save your own ass.
God Bless America
Brilliant! Thank you!
So even if the SC ultimately sides with Smith how can Trump be tried for following DOJ policy?
That’s Roberts for ya. Rotten to the core.
Desperation move.
Trump is running away with the primaries with 50+ point leads that can’t be overcome by fraud. Jack Smith’s orders are to get Trump on trial. But that doesn’t stop Trump from running and it doesn’t stop him from winning.
Like when everyone said RFK Jr was the splitter and would hurt Trump. I thought that was baloney, and now we know RFK hurts the Democrat far more.
Every day these kangaroo courts continue adds another decimal-% to Trump’s voter tally. They needed him on trial this Fall and they didn’t get it. SCOTUS is not a lock to side with Smith. I suspect Smith counted heads at the appellate, knew he was going to lose, and threw a Hail Mary to SCOTUS.
The other problem is his very appeal illustrates that the trial is a political theater not a search for justice. They can’t beat Trump, so they are trying to disqualify him.
If there was no election fraud, none of this would be necessary.
BINGO!!! “If there was no election fraud, none of this would be necessary.”!!!
It may help to serve John Roberts with this information, get it in the court record and published as a matter of public record.
Sunlight is the best disinfectant now with the curtain pulled back on this exposed deepstate nerve center.
thank you Sundance, thank you Donald Trump
God Bless America
