Justice Department moves to replace

[COLGATE4]

Trump's private defense in the slander suit against Trump. This was just reported on Lawrence O'Donnell (link from BBC below*). Not only is this move -unheard of before now - designed to economize Trump's money by letting the taxpayers pay for his defense on this charge. It also means that, if approved by the court the suit will be thrown out because the slanderous language complained of was made while Trump was President "in the scope of his official duties" and, since the government can't be sued under the doctrine of sovereign immunity it will therefore be dismissed.

Barr has now made it clear that the entire Department of Justice is Trump's private (free) law firm. Great way to beat all those legal bills, Donnie.

*The US Department of Justice has taken legal action to defend President Donald Trump in a defamation case from a woman who accuses him of raping her.

Under a court filing, the department is moving to replace the president's private lawyers and take over the case.

Columnist E Jean Carroll accuses Mr Trump of assaulting her in a Manhattan department store in the 1990s.

1. This has nothing to do with Trump's official duties. Sleazes.

[COLGATE4]

2. That's what the Justice Department is claiming

[TreasonousBastard]

3. Read about this in the Times, and the whole point of...

this scandalous action is to push any more motions until after the election.

We are paying for another Trump stall.

4. That's the least Trump expects to get out of

this gambit. If the court actually buys this nonsense Barr will have the whole Dept. of Justice at his command to serve as Trump's personal attorneys.

5. Yet another reason to dump the Trump. He's costing us too

damn much money.

BTW anyone checked if he actually gave back his salary like he promised?

6. I seriously doubt it. Or, if he did I'm sure he found a way

to steal 3X as much.

10. Whilst googling around, I found a better reason for the venue change.,..

The NY court ordered dna sample to compare with the stain ok n the dress. This voids that for a while.

And, yes he does donate his paycheck.

7. How can anyone support this prick?

8. Which prick? Barr, Trump or both?
