Telling them to “fuck off” is meaningless nonsense.
Also, it still wasn’t three years. From inauguration in January of 2021 to May of 2023. You seem to really want to be right. You’d probably have more success if you cited accurate information.

That’s true they don’t directly enforce unless the case is being heard in their court. In the case of the immunity ruling, it’s up to the judge to determine if the criminal act is considered “official” or not.
Biden has no say if Cannon decides that Trump’s document move was an “official act.”
