“The proverbial red line denotes the absolute limit beyond which there is severe punishment for anyone who crosses it through ignorance, culpability, malfeasance, negligence, or “malum in se” (inherently immoral or wrong).” John Johnson II 12/03/25
By John Johnson II
President Donald Trump’s Achilles Heel initially wounded by the explosive Epstein files —never healed. Long before the latest disclosures emerged, flight logs, photographs, victim testimonies, and now-public emails had already punctured the myth of invincibility he built around himself. These newly uncovered emails — referencing “private evenings,” coordinated travel, and access to Epstein’s network of trafficked young girls — may not alone prove criminal guilt, but they obliterate the illusion of distance Trump once claimed existed between them.
But Trump’s vulnerability no longer ends with Epstein. America now faces something far more consequential: a former president, a convicted felon on 34 counts, now as the 47th Commander-In-Chief stands on the brink of facing charges involving murder or war crimes. These are not political accusations; they reach into the dark heart of presidential power. They expose how fragile democracy becomes when Congress loses the courage to hold one another accountable.
Absolute immunity does not shield any president from facing accountability for having allegedly committed murder and war crimes. Congress must reassert its role as an equal branch of power. This Congress is either of men and women of integrity or merely mice.
In this climate, one moment stands out. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene — one of Trump’s most strident defenders — did what many Republican men refused to do. She stood her ground on principles. A woman who had fiercely defended Trump publicly still showed the integrity to declare she would rather resign than remain in Congress.
Meanwhile, most Republican members of Congress continue to abandon their oath. Congresspersons were not elected to protect a man, rather they were elected to protect the Constitution. Their silence is dereliction. Their loyalty is corruption. Their fear is betrayal.
Let us be clear: if the law does not when necessary, restrain the president, the nation becomes a rogue state — governed by an autocrat and enabled by a band of political sycophants. The Founders warned us that the moment Congress fears the president, the republic is lost immediately.
Congress must flex its constitutional power now — not later. They only need one decisive move to remind Trump he is not a monarch. Remember, “All Presidents are mortal and subject to punishment for Constitutional violations. President Trump is a mortal. Therefore, President Trump is subject to punishment for any Constitutional violations.”
Move One: Congress must demand that President Trump immediately re-evaluate Secretary Pete Hegseth’s position, whose actions have ignited national and international concern. It is expected that Sec. Hegseth possesses a thorough understanding of the Military Rules of Engagement.
Move Two: Congress must launch a full, immediate investigation into the newly alleged murder and war-crime disclosures — without compromise, without fear, and without partisan paralysis. The Epstein files may have opened Trump’s Achilles wound. These new disclosures — pointing toward murder and war-crime violations — may be the spear that finally pierces it.
The real question now is not whether Trump can survive these credible allegations. The real question is whether Congress has the courage to do its job — or whether they, too, have crossed America’s final red line. Simply put, were any laws violated?
The Trump administration cannot behave as a reincarnation of Hitler’s Regime. Hitler incinerated the “red line’ along with murdering over six million Jews. He cowardly escaped punishment by suicide.
YOU BE THE JUDGE!
