The words presidential immunity are not in the Constitution. What is in Article II is the required presidential oath to “faithfully execute the Office of President” and “to the best of my ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution.” This with, “he shall take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed,” make the president the custodian of the Constitution. Section 4, of the same Article identifies the major intolerable threats to the executive branch as “Treason, Bribery, or other High Crimes,” but requires removal “from Office on Impeachment for and conviction of.” Only the Senate could do the conviction part and it voted to acquit President Trump. A person tried twice for the same crime, which Democrats are now doing to Trump, is forbidden by Amendment 5. Have these crimes become so prevalent that presidential immunity should not protect them? Yes!
Nothing is more powerful than confession!! We can not allow Biden’s potential use of presidential immunity to hide this or his classified documents crimes as a U.S. Senator or Vice president, nor his crimes of the last three years as president.
For 234 years, from the dawn of this Republic until now, no current or former president has ever been criminally prosecuted for official acts committed while serving. Trial (impeachment) and Senate conviction was seen as sufficient for any bad actors. This was unbroken tradition through 44 presidents—but none of these were accused of treason or bribery which now can be hidden behind presidential immunity.
Separation of powers is a major tenet of the Constitution with none of the three branches of government, executive, judicial or legislative having controlling power over the other two. Presidential immunity “flows directly from the exclusive, vesting clause of Article II. In 1803 Chief Justice John Marshall endorsed it, writing in Marbury v Madison that a president’s official acts “can never be examinable by the courts.” President Trump’s public statements and tweets about alleged fraud and irregularity in the federal election fall within the outer perimeter of presidential duty, to which, communicating with the public on matters of election concern is absolutely central” (X22 Reports, not cited hereafter, Ep. 3243b, Dec. 26, 2023, 39:47).
With respect to the attempt to influence the election, Trump says: “Remember, I was not campaigning – the 2020 election was LONG OVER. What I was doing, is bringing to light the fact that the election was without question Rigged and Stolen. As president and Commander-in- Chief, it was my duty to do so! If I did not do this, I would have been in violation of my oath of office, and take Care Clause, which requires the president to ‘take care that the laws be faithfully executed.’ Therefore I am entitled to total immunity, because that is exactly what I was doing— Taking Care of our country, and guarding it from Rigged and Stolen Elections (EP. 3248B, January 2, 2024, 54:21). He was the president January 6, why would he revolt against himself?
Did Joe Biden admit that he cheated in the Presidential Election of 2020? Some think he did in the following five video taped statements filmed in various settings and times throughout the campaign. 1) “We have put together the most extensive and inclusive, voter fraud organization in the history of American politics.” 2)“Folks we’ve got a lot of work to do. I don’t need you to get me elected. I need you once I am elected.” 3) “It’s no longer just who gets to vote or making it easier for eligible people to vote. It’s about who gets to count the vote or whether your vote counts at all.” 4) “It’s about who gets to count the votes and whether they should count at all.” 5) “It’s about who gets to count the vote, count the vote, count the vote. It’s about election diversion not just whether or not people get to vote. Who counts the votes.” Deep State media outlets censored the above (Assembled by Kanekoathegreat, Ep. 3248B, January 2, 2024,. 57:00). Biden is absolutely right whether these are counted by locals behind walls or in China electronically, the 2020 election was determined by who counted the votes (Ibid. 57:00).
So if presidential immunity allows the judicial branch to go after the executive branch (Trump) can he in turn, once back in office, use it on Biden, even Barack Obama, and others who actually committed treason by overthrowing the government? These wanted his taxes believing that there had to be a hidden crime in them, but found nothing. But it legitimized the Congress Oversight Committee in getting Biden’s also. How do you think we found out about Biden’s 20-plus shell companies and his receiving millions from China, Russia and Ukraine in selling influence and state secrets? This, once the Supreme Court ruled that they could have Trump’s taxes.
After more than three years of time, there is no forensic audit or study document that proves Biden won the presidential election of 2020 but there are dozens that prove that Trump won.
Trump tells Biden if I don’t get immunity neither do you. “You don’t indict your political opponent because he opposes the corrupt election which you know was corrupt. Everybody knows it was corrupt. The American people knows it was corrupt. You do not indict your political opponent.” (Ep. 3254b, January 9, 2024, 53:34). In 3 years and 3 months there has been no evidence produced that Biden won 2020 other than the cheating of that one night and before. All new evidence since, dozens of other studies and reports, documents Trump won.
The Deep State is now going after presidential immunity to get Trump. Once removed and exonerated, Trump can go after previous presidents, more fully exposing the Deep State. Trump has done nothing illegal. Removing presidential immunity is the best way to reveal the crimes of the Deep State actors more fully. In addition to overthrowing the government, Biden could be prosecuted for many actual crimes, “including illegally receiving massive amounts of money from foreign countries, including China, Ukraine, and Russia, paying off Ukraine to fire an unfriendly prosecutor, allowing millions of people to illegally enter and destroy our country, surrendering in Afghanistan, with hundreds dead, many Americans left behind, and handing over millions of dollars worth of the best military equipment anywhere on earth, the dissemination of American wealth through the green, New Scam [Deal]…” (EP. 3248B, January 2, 2024, 48:08).
Maybe if presidential immunity were removed it would end the endless Deep State wars (the industrial military complex) that President Eisenhower warned about. Perhaps fearing future lawsuits because of secret combinations for wealth and power would serve as the deterrent.

There was talk of civil war had President Donald Trump not left the White House. The country was more divided than at any time since the Civil War. Mere months before Nancy Pelosi, standing behind Trump, intentionally and very visibly, tore up her copy of his State of the Union Address. Fences surrounded the Capitol when Biden was sworn in. The outgoing president did not attend the inauguration of his replacement.
Nancy Pelosi rips up President Trumps State of the Union Address.
This was 18 months ago. The socialist Left still control all the major news mediums including Big Tech, outside of One American News, NewsMax and Truth Social—and, like a choir, they despise Trump. Fox News, except for a few shows, recently has dumped Trump. These have clearly resorted to some censorship of the right side of the political spectrum such that today over all news may be censored as much in the United States as it is in Russia.
From these sources and social media virtually nothing good was printed or said about Trump from the moment he announced his candidacy for president, through his term in office, and for 18 months following. Combining all the negative reporting of all previous presidents together probably does not exceed what Trump endured. He suffered the Robert Mueller investigation, Impeachment I, Impeachment II and hundreds of alleged accusations between and since, now largely from the totally biased January 6 Commission. With virtually the whole “news” choir against him, if even one of these had proven true he would have been destroyed politically.
Why hasn’t this happened? Because nothing could stick!!! Even now with the Democrats almost fully in charge of both executive and legislative branches, and virtually all the mainstream and Internet news, they cannot get anything—not even one charge to stick. If they really had anything on Trump all the pirañas would be all over it. But there exists no real evidence.
Moreover, virtually everything the “news” tells us is true today is shown to be opposite in weeks. They were wrong on Mueller, impeachment hoaxes 1 and 2, and wrong on not finishing the border wall which opened us to the Biden invasion. They were wrong on virtually everything to do with COVID-19: death numbers, effectiveness of lockdowns, masks, vaccine mandates, passports, and vaccines; they failed to disclose Anthony Fauci’s gain of function research, his kickbacks and Pfizer profits from COVID-19 and thousands of vaccine injuries. Wrong on child vaccines being beneficial and wrong on Ivermectin and HCQ as effective COVID treatments.
They were wrong on Afghanistan and Ukraine. Russia was always winning the war, the bioweapons labs existed after all, and it was a money laundering country for the Deep State. They were wrong, the Hunter Biden laptop was not Russian disinformation. Election fraud was real as proved in the film “2,000 Mules” using geotracking to place criminals on scene dumping multiple ballots in multiple ballot boxes and a number of battle-ground states are very likely to soon decertify the 2020 presidential election. Why would any thinking person trust the news?
We are finding that the real insurrection was Nov. 3, a coup to overthrow the U.S. government, the coverup was January 6 where FBI and other federals agents were heavily involved—consider Ray Epps and Luke Phillip Robison—directing traffic to the building, Instead of guns—flags and bullhorns were brought. We now know that Trump, fearing a lot of people demonstrating, previously authorized the national guard to be present on Jan. 6, but Nancy Pelosi and DC Mayor Muriel Browser, who were responsible for DC security, declined the offered assistance.
A recent poll shows trust in the media today at only 26%. CNN lost 70% of its audience in key demographics this year (X22 Report, Ep 2803b, June 19, 2022, 5:18). Far more people now know the mainstream media to be mostly fake, phony, and false, then 18 months ago. When they can get the censored information they find it reasonable. They have awakened!! Trump had to vacate the White House so that this could be clearly seen.
“People don’t trust us. They don’t believe us.”
Today the Deep State press is called out on everything. Hundreds of digital soldiers are pushing back on platforms that do not censor, giving the people the censored news. Thus we are winning! Katy Tur of NBC, said it best, “The trust in media, in newspapers and television, is hitting an all time low. People don’t trust us. They don’t believe us, and it makes me wonder if this job—as I’m currently doing it —is effective, but if its’s doing more harm than good” (X22 Report, Ep. 2827b Fake News, July 18, 2022, 19:47).
Exempting assassination Trump will be back in the White House; some say as early as the midterms through decertification and devolution. Some 98% of Republicans are now with Trump for 2024; 66% absolutely certain, 19% very certain and 13% somewhat certain (X22 Report, Ep. 2831b, July 22, 2022, 41:00). Presently Biden is being rejected by 75% of his own party. (CNN Poll: “No More Biden in 2024, say 75% of Democratic Voters” (Latestly, August 3, 2022).
Trump’s absence from the White House, while all this censorship or disinformation happens, gives him incredible optics and exposes the Deep State far more than were he there. People are not only confronting the Deep State press lies but are being de-programed as well. Every passing day they lose more and more of the people. Especially those who follow that “pesky” Constitution that they violate. Trapped in their own lies they do not have America with them. The country had to see this first hand; the patriot digital solders brought truth out of the shadows.
A Trump return had to be this way, Civil War otherwise. Now Joe Biden is the most unpopular president in U.S. history and Trump may be the most popular.

The 12-minute video presentation “Thumbing Through the Constitution” is the third presentation in the constitutional series called “I Want to be Free” designed by professor Harold Pease Ph. D to share with America why the Constitution is so special and relevant to our day.
In this presentation he asks viewers to memorize the outline of the Constitution before jumping into the document. He compares doing so to a house mover entering the new home to ascertain the proximity of the rooms to each other before he unloads the moving van.
Article I identifies the authority of the legislative branch, Article II the executive, and Article III the judicial. Each has a limiting clause. Article IV outlines the relationship of states and the federal government. Article V describes how changes are made in the Constitution. Article VI the document, as interpreted by the Founding Fathers, is made the supreme law of the land. Article VII the ratification of the Constitution. Next follows the 27 changes made to the Constitution, the first ten of which are the Bill of Rights. Some emphasis is given to the Amendments 9th and 10th. Amendments 11-27 come through the next 225 plus years.
Notice the handcuffs of the Constitution, which are many. Never forget that the Constitution is designed to limit the federal government. So many from both major political parties have forgotten this. Again, memorize the outline of the Constitution and demand that the government restrict themselves to these handcuffs; if not you than whom?
This 21-minute video “The Constitution: Why it Matters?” is presentation number two in the “I Want to be Free” series on the U.S. Constitution presented by Dr. Harold Pease. The title explains its purpose. View other series presentations and weekly columns on the Constitution at LibertyUnderFire.org
Today very few are required to read the U.S. Constitution in school. A latest survey on the public knowledge of basic constitutional principles is shocking. Findings included that 38% would not be qualified to be citizens of their own country were they required passing the same test required of non-citizens. So it is obvious why it may not matter to many.
Covers of Time and Newsweek magazines were shown to demonstrate their concern for our decline. Time magazine shows the Constitution shredded. It must be outdated. “Not so!” Pease argues. “It is based upon natural law and human nature, which do not change. Don’t condemn the document because it is not read or followed.”
Article V makes our Constitution a living document. Opponents to the present “living” document always advocate for more of your money and more power, which inevitably means less of your freedom. Pease concludes, “It is more important that you understand the Constitution than any other generation in U.S. History. Fifty years from now you will be able to say either, ‘We lost it.’ Or, ‘We saved it.’ You personally will have been part of the problem or part of the solution.”
1. Declaration of Independence: Your Right of Revolution
The Declaration of Independence: Your right of Revolution is a 23-minute video of the historical events leading to the necessity of revolution from Great Britain. It identifies “self-evident” truths that justify revolution. Five references to God, or a Supreme Being, as the author of these truths is made in the document. One defines the right of revolution as any time or place when such are not met. It began the philosophical revolution that climaxed thirteen years later with the Bill of Rights which added to the “self-evident” truths noted before. The Constitution cannot be fully understood separate from The Declaration of Independence. It is the first of 17 presentations collectively called “I Want to Be Free.”
