Trump claims he didn’t have ‘fair notice’ that Georgia actions could be illegal

The former president files several fresh motions to toss out Fulton County election interference charges

Attorneys for Donald Trump claim that the former president didn’t have “fair notice” that his attempts to reverse his Georgia loss in the 2020 presidential election could result in criminal charges against him.

A flurry of filings in Fulton County Superior Court on Monday argue that the sprawling election interference case against Mr Trump “consists entirely of core political speech at the zenith of First Amendment protections”.

Attorneys for the former president want the case dismissed on grounds that he has “presidential immunity” from actions while in office, that he was already acquitted for similar allegations in his second impeachment trial, and that he was never told that what he was doing in the state – where he is charged as part of an alleged racketeering scheme to unlawfully subvert the state’s election results – could be prosecuted.

His lawyers know its not a good argument. The point isn’t to win, it’s just to stall as long as possible.

With all his whining about rigged elections he of all people should know you can’t ask election officials to “find” you exactly the amount of votes you need to win that election.

I cannot count the number of times I’ve seen the phrase, “Ignorance of the law is not a defense.”

This one always riled me. I, as just some asshole, have to know every nuance of every bylaw -

But someone whose paid employment job is “da law” can just go “whoopsies beating that guy and taking his wallet was bad? uWu”

It’s not a legal defense but in the court of “opinion of trump supporters” it’s sufficient.

I mean, how could he have known that trying to manipulate an election result might be illegal ?

The young children didn’t have notice either when he had “sexual relations” with them at Epstein’s mansion.

You know he didn’t need to go Epstein’s Island. He had a young teenage “hot” girl at home. She might have even had friends over from time to time.

His second wife was his babysitter at one point, went on vacation with the family too…

Edit- his kids babysitter, I should clarify 😁

What do you mean I’m not allowed to walk into a bank with an assault rifle, start shooting around and demand all their money?

I’m innocent, nobody ever told me that was illegal!

sebinspace ,

Did he just admit to lacking common sense?

Kbobabob ,

Anyone that’s ever actually listened to him speak knows he’s dumb as fuck.

Goddammit. The environments going to shit, 3 people own everything and we’re STILL DEALING WITH THIS ASSHOLE! TRUMP IS A BOIL ON US ALL.

Imagine what’ll be like when he gets re-elected… God just, take me now.

BradleyUffner ,

Ahh, it’s the old “you never prosecuted me for anything before, you can’t start now” defense.

BrianTheeBiscuiteer ,

Trump: You never told me you’d prosecute me for election interference!

Georgia: You never asked!

Georgia: you should have already known, it’s the law. Not some ordinary contract that you get to sign or decline

with all this lack of knowledge it sounds like he shouldn’t be in office.

But… But he said he knows more than the generals :(

Well that’s not very Party Law and Order of you Donald
