Trump Obstructs Assassination Process

"Presidents Lincoln and Kennedy confronted the threat head-on." — Special Prosecutor Jack Smith

PITTSBURH, PA — A grand jury has indicted President Donald Trump on a single count of Obstructing The Assassination Process, by turning his head aside as an assassin’s bullet was poised to pierces his skull.

“This is not normal. We’ve never seen this before,” said MSNBC’s Joy Reid. “This is not how assassination works.”

“There’s a right way and a wrong way to do these things, says Special Prosecutor Jack Smith. “Presidents Lincoln and Kennedy gave their lives in furtherance of the Assassination Process. They did not just turn away. They confronted the threat head-on.”

In motion papers, Trump’s lawyers unsuccessfully argued that the president is immune. “Because the former President was not ‘in office’ when he affirmatively turned his head, thereby dodging the bullet, immunity is not a defense. The defendant’s motion to dismiss must therefore be denied,” the court wrote.

If convicted, Trump faces death by firing squad, a result the prosecution concedes is darkly ironic.”
