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.

So did he just think that his 44 predecessors never thought to try?

So did he just think

well…

Human so morally bankrupt needs minimum notice period before committing crimes otherwise it’s unfair to judge him on said crimes.

Right…

I wasn’t told killing someone was a bad thing before I did it your honor…

You didn’t tell me ahead that I wasn’t supposed to murder anybody, so this one’s free…

After getting caught in a bank robbery, stealing thousands of dollars and traumatizing bystanders, the robber can just say: “No one gave me a fair notice this was illegal”

Is that pretty much the level of this claim?

I’d be like entering Fast 5 into evidence.

See your honor? The good guys were the robbers! They also love America and occasionally fuck members of their family.

So, the “whoops, my bad” defense now?

“Can’t tell if obviously-criminal things are illegal”, and “still thinks he should be president” 🤡

Wait a minute, can this be considered a confession? “Yes, I did it, BUT…” ?

Narcs Prayer (again):

That didn’t happen.

And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.

And if it was, that’s not a big deal.

And if it is, that’s not my fault. <——

And if it was, I didn’t mean it.

And if I did, you deserved it.

These are more of phases or stages of malignant NPD thinking. They can circle and circle and mix around again and again kind of like the ‘5 Stages of Grief’ can do.

This defense doesn’t even work in the context of his specific case. He was told by staffers that what he was attempting to do was illegal and he made the phone call anyway. How much “fair notice” do you need to double check that you’re not committing a crime when told by people whose job it is to do all of the research for you ahead of time?

Ignorance of the law is not a defense for breaking it, and this should be as damning as a confession of guilt.

AstridWipenaugh ,

He knows all this. This is just more nonsense to drag it out. The court can’t just say “shut the fuck up Donny” and move forward else he’ll claim unfair treatment. So they have to accept the motions and take the time to carefully disqualify them. This is just a tactic to cast more doubt on the proceedings and make it take longer so he can complain about how they’re dragging it out to make him look bad because he’s innocent and they don’t have the evidence to convict.

They are just dragging this out as long as humanly possible in hopes that trump will win the election. It is kinda sad seeing how incompetent the US court systems have become. I know this is a very sensitive case, but the violence they fear will occur should be treated as the terrorism it is. We shouldn’t have to worry about violent retribution from lead poisoned adults with guns if their god is not crowned king.

We’ve been told pretty much forever that ignorance of the law is no defense, so shut the fuck up, Donny.

“stfu Donny, you’re out of your element” … “life does not stop and start at your convenience you miserable piece of shit.”

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

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 :(

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
