The Left Won't Like the New Rules

 Jack Hellner at the American Thinker today has a post entitled Trump's presidential immunity case to be heard by SCOTUS and the left roots for him to fail. But as he points out, the Left might not like the new rules. After all, if Trump doesn't have immunity after he leaves office, then neither do Obama or Biden.

Aesop’s fables are revered for their ability to communicate profound moral concepts to young children, but clearly the short parables are too advanced for the average Democrat, and especially the weaponized anti-Trump operatives in the Biden regime, because they’re cheering on the “no-presidential-immunity” agenda, oblivious to the “be careful what you wish for” precept.
Without presidential immunity, Barack Obama and Joe Biden are living on borrowed time.
One of the most despicable, dangerous, and deadly actions of any American president was when Obama dictatorially “derailed” a massive investigation into Hezbollah’s billion-dollar drug-running ring to appease the tyrants in Iran—which we know was because he selfishly thought it would help his legacy...

How about Obama’s ATF and Operation Fast and Furious? The policy is directly to blame for the deaths of American agents (no one would dispute that), and how many others?
Should Biden and Obama be charged with enabling Iran and terrorists because they built up Iran’s war chest? Because at this moment they have blanket immunity, despite reaping endless death.
Should Biden be charged for refusing to enforce border laws? Because at this moment he has blanket immunity, despite a number of high-profile murder and rape cases (just over the last few days), and an obvious increase in “migrant crime.”
Should Biden be charged for having energy policies that enrich Russia, Iran, and other tyrannical regimes, that in turn cause great damage throughout the world? Because at this moment, he has blanket immunity.

Of course, even George W. Bush and Clinton would come under scrutiny. No one does anything for pure reasons. There are always a mixture of the good with the bad in any decision process. And the ones who don't like the decision of policy will no doubt use the current lawfare techniques to bring criminal charges and lawsuits against any former president. Only a masochist would want the job under these conditions. But hey, if the Left wants to play by these rules, they won't like them when turned against them.
