Fighting back against propaganda, excuses, and bad faith II
To the People of the United States of America,
1) The loudest bad faith assertion will be that previous Presidents have pardoned those convicted of Treason without repercussion. This is the most impactful argument while at the same time being easily dismissed. History of Unconstitutional acts does not set a precedent for future Unconstitutional acts. There is no CONSTITUTIONAL statute, law, or writing that allows the President to not be charged with Treason, only historically Unconstitutional actions by people unwilling to fulfil their oath. However, those ramifications are a concern for historians. We must face the present-day Treasonous actions.
Treason is outlined very specifically in the Constitution
“Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason”
Last check there is zero better aid to a convicted enemy than getting said convict out of prison. A seditionist is an enemy of the state, meaning pardoning a seditionist, fits the exact definition of Treason.
Upon reading Ch18 U.S. Code § 2381 Treason, there is no uncertain term about what Treason is, who can commit it, and what the punishment is. If anyone attempts to argue, just point to the definition of Ch18 U.S. Code § 2381 Treason, and wait for them to rejoin you in reality. Whether past Americans have enforced it or not is inconsequential.
2) Asserting that a President can Pardon whoever they want without repercussion is a bad faith statement ungrounded in the very definition of Treason. While the President holds vast powers, including the power to Pardon. The President does not hold the power to break the Constitution with those powers, let alone commit Treason. We all have First Amendment rights, but there are certain things that are punishable. We all have Second Amendment rights but using them to break another law is illegal. In the same way, the President is not above the Constitution when committing treason even if the vehicle to commit the Treason is a constitutional power.
3) As to the bad faith questions surrounding application of Presidential Immunity or asserting the President cannot commit Treason. Presidential Immunity does not apply. Treason is expressly written to encompass “Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States”. Treason is not an official duty or act of the Office of the President. Even if the vehicle for the Treasonous actions falls within the Executive Officer’s oversight, such actions were never designed to commit Treason and are therefore not operating as designed and not protect by Presidential Immunity.
4) To those expounding the bad faith assertion that commuting the sentence along with the Pardon protects the ex-President from having committed Treason. That is not what Commuted means. Commuted means a lessened sentence, it does not undo a conviction, nor does it state the individual was wrongly convicted. Meaning the individuals were still Seditionists at the time of the Pardon. Even if the AG were to overturn the convictions now, they were Seditionists at the time of the Pardon.
You need not fear repeating the rights and laws listed in the Constitution, nor demanding those rights and laws be upheld by those who have sworn and oath to or owing allegiance to the Constitutional Republic of the United States of America.
