[link removed] [[link removed]] John,

Donald Trump and his legal team have spent the last few months fighting to get Trump immunity from his criminal charges. Trump even took to his social media platform to share his thoughts:

"A PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES MUST HAVE FULL IMMUNITY, WITHOUT WHICH IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE FOR HIM/HER TO PROPERLY FUNCTION… EVEN EVENTS THAT 'CROSS THE LINE' MUST FALL UNDER TOTAL IMMUNITY, OR IT WILL BE YEARS OF TRAUMA TRYING TO DETERMINE GOOD FROM BAD. THERE MUST BE CERTAINTY.”

Well John, Trump's demand for immunity for his actions while president is pretty ironic given his demands for other former presidents to be prosecuted.

Trump himself has spent *years* saying his political enemies, from John Bolton to James Comey and even other presidents, should be put in jail for what he perceived as crimes committed against him.

John, Trump and his lawyers have been arguing for months that he should be immune from prosecution for any official acts he did in office. Yet in late 2018, Trump retweeted an image (later deleted) that showed former presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama behind bars, with the caption that suggested they should be tried for treason.

Nearly four years later, Trump’s tone has changed.

Now that he’s actually been charged with crimes, Trump is fighting for presidential immunity, and is even taking his fight to the Supreme Court.

Listen, Donald Trump’s attempts to claim absolute immunity do not hold up to even the barest scrutiny — but they are still dangerous. If he doesn’t face consequences for trying to overturn an election, there will be few guardrails to prevent him from a similar attempt in the future.

We need to make sure Trump is held accountable, so please, pitch in today → [[link removed]]DONATE → [[link removed]]
