Trump not immune from civil claims from Jan. 6 speech, judge rules
2mon 17d ago by reddthat.com/u/TryingToBeGood in politics from thehill.com
"The late Tuesday ruling from U.S. District Court Judge Amit Mehta found that Trump’s speech on the Ellipse that day was not covered by the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling, determining it could not be considered a core presidential act.
He also determined the phone call Trump made to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) asking him to “find” more votes was clearly an effort “to alter the outcome of Georgia’s election.”
so go arrest him?
Civil suits do not work that way.
Nothing works the same any more. This is bizarro land and we now have arrest warrants for civil proceedings.
You're helping!
Fuck, queen doppelopopolis of the doppelgangers is back!
Neither do criminal, in Trump's case. The only justice he isn't immune to is vigilante, and I'm not holding my breath for that outcome either.
The only justice he isn’t immune to is vigilante
someone tried that, and missed :/
debatable
Yeah that was staged as fuck. Days later he didn't have so much as a scab. A hangnail takes longer to heal than that shit.
All they had to do was sacrifice a pawn in the audience, and they got their photo op.
No arrests, no (self) pardons. It's a net win.
Since this is a federal case, wouldn’t that law enforcement responsibility roll into an agency that rolls into Trump?
Right - the Department of Injustice
Office of the Weaponization of Government
They're all the office of weaponization of government.
The DHS, the SEC, the FCC, the DOE, the IRS, the ...
Yeah, but the DOJ literally made an office named that. Their states purpose is for retribution against their political opponents (who they accuse of weaponizing the government)...
Civil damages, you don't get arrested for those.
Besides, he'll just stall until he's dead.
May he stall for the shortest time possible. Amen.
Epstein files, anyone?
Yes, I'll take two please. With extra sauce.
How many times was that eject button pressed? - no pilot ever asked. Either because of sheer professionalism or a state of ultimate panic. Yet in this case the pilot deliberately steers into the ground.
So here we are as a passenger while someone, who somehow seems to be part of the crew, yells: "Don't do that, fly straight!!"... and we all react calmly "oh, finally one of them notices something is wrong.", and "Can I order a drink now?"
He’s gonna be so fucked pretty soon, legally.
I've been hearing that for 10 years.
he's daddy teflon. Ain't nothing going to happen to him. It's nice to have hope though.
Then the system is broken and we should be fixing it
True but his clear desperation maybe says otherwise?!
