One of Don 'Legit' Trumpilini's most cogent legal arguments, among many frivolous one, is that a sitting President is immunity from liability. The argument fits perfectly the delusional personality involved. He has escaped responsibility for his bad business decisions and criminality for most of his life. He once quipped he could shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue without loosing political support. His many public statements clearly show he believes he has the power of absolute monarchs when in office. The DC Circuit Court of Appeals has told him he is wrong. The opinion comes out of several lawsuits filed by Democrats and police officers seeking to hold him accountable for the damage done on January 6th. A three judge panel concluded that a President is not always dong official business when in office. When he acts in a private capacity, such as running for re-election or formeting insurrection, he does not continue to enjoy official immunity. The opinion was unanimous and written by chief judge Sri Srinivasan. Judge Tanya Chutkin, presiding over Special Counsel Jack Smith's criminal insurrection prosecution, also rejected his argument of absolute presidential immunity. It may prove influential in the criminal cases against him where he is making a similar arguemnt. As part of his stonewall tactics the decisions will be appealed to the US Supreme Court. A spokesperson for Trumpilini called the decision, "limited, narrow and procedural". Outed Repugnant congresswoman, Liz Cheney, who served as co-chair of the House Select January 6th Committee has written that Donald Trump is the “most dangerous man to inhabit the Oval Office.” Ditto by
US Person.
The Justice Department, which was late in recognizing the unique threat to democracy posed by Don 'Legit', reversed its decision to represent Trumpillini in the second E. Jean Carrol defamation suit. New evidence suggests that the former guy acted out of a personal grievance against the former
Elle journalist steming from events that pre-dated his term of office. A trail is expected to go forward in January. Carrol is seeking $10 million in damages. The jury awarded her $5 million in the first defamation suit.
The title of this post is blasphemous. Don't blame
rude US Person for that, he is simply quoting the Repugnant sycophants in Congress. The depth of their hypocrisy is endless.
