Special Counsel Jack Smith has filed Response Brief on the immunity issue

[jmowreader]

15. I was thinking of something a little more succinct

1. Many government officials, including presidents, enjoy a grant of immunity against prosecution for official acts performed as part of their duties of office. This Court welcomes this grant.

2. As an example, President Obama, a member of the Democratic Party, directed Naval Special Warfare Development Group, an organization popularly referred to as "SEAL Team 6," to locate and kill Osama bin Laden, who served as the leader of the Al Qaeda terror group. Even if the Republican Party disagreed with his having done this, he would not be liable for prosecution for having done it because the killing of Mr. bin Laden - who engineered the deaths of over 3000 Americans on September 11, 2001 - is considered to be an act in the national interest of the United States.

3. The defendant in this case has filed numerous briefs requesting that the charges currently against him be dismissed because he was President of the United States when he allegedly performed them.

4. This Court cannot imagine that even in some off-label fantasy comic book the acts the Defendant is accused of, which include attempting to overturn an election that he lost using many tactics including having the Capitol Building invaded by an armed mob, would ever be considered an official duty of a United States President.

5. This Court prays that the Defendant's requests be denied and that the trials against him proceed as scheduled.
