Matt Gaetz Has Plan To “Immunize” Trump From Charges
Florida Republican Matt Gaetz has put out a plan to “immunize” former President Donald Trump from legal action. Gaetz has proposed the scheme, which would grant Trump a general pardon for any crimes he may have committed while in office, on social media and in interviews.
Gaetz’s proposal has drawn heavy criticism, with many legal authorities decrying it as a risky and unconstitutional notion. There is no precedent for such a broad pardon; the Constitution forbids presidents from absolving themselves or members of their families.
It would basically grant Trump immunity from any criminal prosecution for his presidential activities if Gaetz’s legislation were to become law. This would be a serious loss for the rule of law and create a risky precedent for presidents to follow.
It’s uncertain if Gaetz’s proposal has any chance of passing into law. That serves as a reminder, meanwhile, of the extent some Republicans are prepared to go to shield Trump from responsibility.

Here are some of the arguments against Gaetz’s plan:
- It’s against the law. Presidents are not permitted by the Constitution to pardon themselves or members of their families.
- It would create a risky precedent. The rule of law would be seriously compromised if a president were to be granted amnesty for whatever crimes they committed while in office.
- The political rivals of Trump would suffer as a result. Trump would not be held accountable for his acts if he were given immunity, but his political rivals would still be subject to prosecution.

It’s crucial to remember that Gaetz’s approach is currently simply an idea. It is uncertain whether it would ever become a law or, if it did, whether it would be upheld in court. That serves as a reminder, meanwhile, of the extent some Republicans are prepared to go to shield Trump from responsibility.
Matt Gaetz calls for action:
Step 1: “House Republicans should immediately demand that Jack Smith present himself for a transcribed interview before the Judiciary Committee in the next 15 days.”
Step 2: “We can utilize Congressional immunities to immunize President Trump.” pic.twitter.com/Cod5hIHyDT

To start off with after 8 years the criminalized democrat party would stop with the lies, schemes and scams but they scared to death because President Donald J Trump is not and has nothing to hide just think after 8 years of lies and you people still don’t get it he’s a law abiding American citizen. You hate him because he’s a billionaire and you’re not but the democrats those idiots hate him because they know he’s coming he’s exposed their lies scams and schemes and honestly you should try to think for yourself sometimes because if you did you would know that congress is closing in on America’s #1 crime family the Biden’s all of their lies and schemes are quickly catching up with them and their hard evidence not the stupidity the democrats try to make up on President Trump I never bought into the January 6th scam not for a minute and now that it’s quickly falling apart looks like the only person exciting a riot was their undercover idiot I believe his name could be Ray lol have you ever seen a republican say something that stupid? We need to get in the capital oh and it’s that way over there he’s pointing I liked to fell out I promise you this every Republican in this great nation of ours you don’t have to point and show them where the capital is first off 2nd Republicans do not behave like idiots and start rioting destroying buildings or cities we know that’s criminal unlawful and truthfully a terrorist act so when we have enough we do something very lawfully very peaceful and most effective just ask BUDLIGHT I’m sure they can painfully explain it to you
