Trump doesn’t have presidential immunity from lawsuits over January 6, appeals court rules

Former President Donald Trump isn’t immune from being held accountable in civil lawsuits related to the January 6, 2021, US Capitol riot in a long-awaited, consequential decision from the federal appeals court in Washington, DC.

The decision, making new law around the presidency, will have significant implications for several cases against Trump in the Washington, DC, federal court related to the 2020 election. The decision arises out of lawsuits brought by Capitol Police officers and Democrats in Congress.

The opinion, written by Chief Judge Sri Srinivasan, states that not everything a president does while in office is protected from liability.

Wish literally any judges shared your opinion.

Oh you stole a laptop filled with confidential material from the office of the minority leader of the Senate during an insurrection?

5 years probation one under house arrest.

It's like they are unsatisfied with the effort that was on display and want to time these sentences so they can try again the very next time.

I would've figured that would've been qualified immunity. I guess it's within the scope of the president to order coups of other governments, but ordering a coup of your own is a bridge too far. /s

Once again the democrat led witch hunt punishes Trump with denying blank check to commit crimes

He may not have Presidential Immunity, but he seems to have Plot Armor.

That’s called money. Don’t get me wrong, he’s not nearly as wealthy as he’s ever claimed to be, but idiots keep donating to him. It’s… It’s actually quite insane.

Bipta ,

It's much more than just the money. It's the cult and the mob-like obfuscation of his intentions.

If murder hornets kill him at the last minute, it’s still lazy writing. You can’t just say “murder hornets,” ignore them for 2 years, and then suddenly they’re an established plot device.
