Your seething hatred of Trump doesn't change matters of fact and law

The case law and precedent is pretty unambiguous here. Barr is not taking over a lawsuit for personal conduct of Trump decades ago, its the sovereign immunity of federal employees and their foreseeable controversies during their time in the job. Carroll tried to sue for defamation about something Trump said while he was in office. The case law already has clear examples that even statements about personal scandals fall under federal jurisdiction when made by a politician to the press or via media, and all the legal precedents set by those suing Trump over his twitter blocks have established that his statements fall under his line of duty and job. You can't have it both ways and claim Trump is exclusively acting as a private citizen when he says something you want to sue him for, but as president when he blocks you on twitter.

Liberals shot themselves in the foot when it comes to case law here. The precedents to immunize personal scandals seal it:

"President Trump was acting within the scope of his office as President of the United States at the time of the incidents out of which the Plaintiff's defamation claim arose. Indeed, when providing the challenged statements, the President was speaking to or responding to inquiries from the press, much as the elected officials in the cases cited above were speaking to the press or making other public statements at the time of their challenged actions," the Justice Department's court filing stated.

Just when you think you've seen it all, Trump comes up with something new. I gotta hand it to him, he's quite the entertainer!

There's also this:

58.4 million in legal and compliance fees since 2015. I'm glad I'm not a sucker who donated to him or died in battle.

I love how he sexually assaulted this woman as a duty of president of the United States according to DOJ.




A lot of dumb whites will. Will it be enough?
