jack smith's brief to the supreme court attacks every immunity claim donald trump makes. jack smith said, the president's constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed does not entail a general right to violate them. petitioners suggest that unless a criminal statute expressly names the president, the statute does not apply. that radical suggestion, which would free the president from virtually all criminal law, even crimes such as bribery, murder, treason, and sedition, is unfounded. jack smith's brief stressed that donald trump is the only president in history who believes in presidential immunity. jack smith wrote, the framers never endorsed criminal immunity for a former president , and all presidents from the founding to the modern era have known that after leaving office, they faced potential criminal liability for official acts. the closest historical analog as president nixon's official conduct in watergate, and his acceptance of a pardon implied his and president ford's recognition that a former president was subject to prosecution. the ab
