DOJ Moves To Defend Trump In Defamation Suit | MTP Daily | MSNBC
Trump wants to be like putin a dictator.
NOT ONLY DUMP. DOJ and GOP want to turn our government into a dictatorship. SHAME ON THEM. I will be VOTING FOR BLUE 🇺🇸BIDEN/HARRIS 2020 🇺🇸.
The puppet always admires the puppet master.
he won’t last 1 hour in Pooty’s shoes
Yet when Pompeo spoke from Jeruseleum during the RNC, that was in his personal capacity.
Steve Mlejnek : excellent point, thx.
Hatch Act violation. On official business. All expenses paid for by ALL taxpayers, not just repubs. Using Jerusalem for backdrop just political theater to garner votes. He is a government employee confirmed by a bi-partisan Senate. Is not supposed to be a schill.
Not with my tax dollars. I am cutting off all Federal tax deductions until Trump is removed and in prison.
@Larry Sernyk , I’m with you, we’ve already paid enough on his golf trips, and his children’s trips
I second that notion!!! Biden/Harris2020
Good luck.
@Matt Thompson this is bad
Just the other day I asked, what more could be revealed about our glorious leader to diminish his standing in the cesspool that is his life. He had just been exposed has hating vets, calling them Losers and Suckers. I wondered when that outrage would be so yesterday by yet something uglier. Imagine he knew how bad Covid would be and kept it to himself. 200 thousand dead later and counting. God have mercy
Hey we witnessed the betrayal in Helsinki, We heard him disparaging McCain, Gold Star Families, Mexicans, Puerto Ricans, Handicapped People, Our Allies and now OUR NATIONS Heroes. 55 days A Command Has to be Lawful. His too unfit to see what a disgrace he is.
Trump: “Yeah, that’s her, with the gold. I’ve got to use some Tic Tacs, just in case I start kissing her. You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. I just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do whatever you want. Grab them by the p. You can do anything. And it’s okay, because even if she tries to sue me, the American people are going to pay for it.”
If there is one lesson to be learned in the past 4 years. Is that a President has too much power and the safeguards that were put in place, only matter if all of the republic isn’t corrupt as the GOP have proven that they are.
This is Hitler, a despot! This is evil personified. And Trump is laughing at all who dare to stand up to him. And there are still people who think this is good! Whatever is wrong with them?..
Comparing Trump with Hitler.. genius
What is wrong with them? They belong to the Trump cult and therefore cannot admit that their leader could do anything wrong. Just think about Jim Jones, kool aid, and you will have your answer.
If he’s innocent, surrender the DNA.
America: How Corrupt are you gonna get as President??
Trump: Yes!!
*Trump is also holding Putin’s beer at the moment
This is what an autocrat Trump does. Gets Barr to do his dirty work.
We all know Trump is bankrupt. I guess he needs a public defender
Yes ,but that makes Barr even a bigger Criminal then Trump & he is” Biggely “
Is that what the Chinese government told you to say.
@Matt Thompson is that what the russian government told you to ask?
Barr’s a traitor and should be charged for failures in his duties.
Everyone and anyone who enabled this lawlessness should be indicted.
Barr must be removed arrested and prosecuted
Would the enabler of this be McConnell?
@Ken Phillips ELEMENTARY MY DEAR WATSON
Didn’t know the Justice Department could act as the presidents personal defense.
I don’t think they legally are allowed to.
Barr has been illegally defending the president since Mueller submitted his damning report of Trump’s malfeasance.
Barr only has ONE CLIENT, an army of big-government agents, and all the taxpayer dollars he wants to make this woman fearfully drop her case….victimized twice !
This is despicable. Barr needs to be behind Bars.
Terrible example of a HUMAN BEING
This Must NOT Be Allowed!
GOP no money. Let’s use taxpayer money to pay trump’s legal fees.
They should not waste the taxpayers money on this buffoon.
Strike four against Bill Barr. What an embarrassment.
