WASHINGTON (AP) — Former President Donald Trump can be sued by injured Capitol Police officers and Democratic lawmakers over the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, the Justice Department said Thursday in a federal court case testing Trump’s legal vulnerability and the limits of executive power.

Although a president enjoys broad legal latitude to communicate to the public on matters of concern, the department wrote that “no part of a President’s official responsibilities includes the incitement of imminent private violence. By definition, such conduct plainly falls outside the President’s constitutional and statutory duties.”

The brief was filed by lawyers of the Justice Department’s Civil Division and has no bearing on a separate criminal investigation by a department special counsel into whether Trump can be criminally charged over efforts to undo President Joe Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential election ahead of the Capitol riot. In fact, the lawyers note that they are not taking a position with respect to potential criminal liability for Trump or anyone else.

Problem for the Traitor is this, there is video tape of 01-06-21 speech to his supporters fight like hell. As this video is in the public domain, it cannot be legally suppressed.

New York agrees to pay millions to demonstrators in proposed settlement over 2020 George Floyd protests | CNN

New York has agreed to pay at least $21,500 to each of the hundreds of demonstrators at a 2020 George Floyd protest in the Bronx who were "arrested, detained, and/or subjected to force by police officers," according to a proposed settlement filed in federal court.

They can sue and they will lose. There was no incitement to violence ever by the president, indeed, the case can be made that it was the GOVERNMENT itself which did that! So if they sue, they will lose, it will go nowhere, and just be another leftwing ploy used during an election period trying to smear Trump's public perception again trying to throw an election in their favor because NO DEMOCRAT CAN EVER WIN WITHOUT CHEATING BY BEING HONEST.

I can sue you, 0311....5 times if I want, doesn't mean I'll win.

Personally I hope that one of these suits go to court and then the real trial, (as compared to the circuses)
and the real culprits can be subpoenaed. Nancy will be losing some sleep if that ever happens.

 

[meaner gene]

Doubtful they could win, but it would be fun to see Trump in court for about 30 or so law suits

It's not about winning or losing, it's how you play the game.

And that means getting Trump in a deposition, answering questions under oath, under penalty of perjury.

And doing so, as a private citizen, without a presidential safety net.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Good lord. This is beyond ridiculous.

Why? Why should people not be able to bring a suit if they feel they have a case? The judge can throw it out, but they should be allowed to bring the suit

 

[Harpy Eagle]

I agree. I want to see Trump on the witness stand under oath.

 

[Shareprofit]

more wishful thinking.

Wishfull thinking justice will be served on this treasonous crook.

 

[Shareprofit]

A figure of speech and legally meaningless.

Trump incited the riot for weeks leading up to the assult on the Republic with his lies about election fraud that no one believed.

You support legal harassment charges over something he never caused.

By the way where is the J6 Grand Jury report?

Snicker................

It's a fantastic net!

So fantastic, I wish I'd been a Prezydent!!

Then, I could've even be more corrupt than Joetard!!!

I support the right of people to be able to file a law suit

Who caused the assult in the Republic that day, pretty sure it was your guy.

Because so many lawsuits against Trump fails BECAUSE it is a pile of bullshit.

That's ok, if they fail then they were not worthy. But people should have the right to file them.
