Trump plans to sue DOJ for $100M over Mar-a-Lago raid: report

"Fresh from peddling conspiracy theories about Vice President Kamala Harris using artificial intelligence to create fake photos of large crowds at her rallies, former President Donald Trump has now come up with a new gambit: suing the United States Department of Justice.

Fox News reports that Trump is planning to sue the DOJ for $100 million for executing a search warrant at his Mar-a-Lago resort to retrieve top-secret government documents he had stored there and had allegedly refused to return even after receiving a subpoena for them.

According to Fox News, Trump's lawyers will argue that the DOJ was engaged in a "clear intent to engage in political persecution" when it searched his property, despite the fact that it had obtained a search warrant from a judge authorizing the search."

1. No he won't.

In doing so, too much would be released to the public. It would get incredibly nasty for him.

11. I agree. He is bluffing to curry favor with his shrinking base.

The old MAGATS are dying off and being replaced by younger and more diverse voters, most of whom will vote D for the next 40 years.

2. The discovery alone will sled more light on certified document......................

that shithole took and what he did with them (wink wink - other countries hostile to the USA).

[Meadowoak]

3. How dare they search Mar a lago for the documents

He stole, and was warned about for 8 months, how dare they.

[Fiendish Thingy]

4. Now that right there is proof Trump has a sense of humour

Isn’t it?

[sinkingfeeling]

5. But, just think of what this precedent this would set. Everybody that is raided for drugs or

illegal guns, or hiding kidnap victims could just file a lawsuit!

[Prairie Gates]

6. He'll file it in two weeks

You'll see!

[yellowcanine]

15. Yes and it will be the most perfect brief yet.

Tighty whitey perfect!

[Prairie Gates]

16. No one's ever seen a lawsuit so good...many say it is the best filing ever

[rurallib]

18. to distract from his sentencing?

[LiberalFighter]

7. How are the attorneys able to file such a lawsuit?

[Zoomie1986]

22. Because anybody can file a lawsuit

Getting it heard is a different matter.

[Raven123]

8. The FBI did everything it could

1) to avoid a search and
2) to avoid publicity when the search was executed
TFG didn’t return the people’s property despite multiple requests and TFG is the one who posted on social media that Mar a Lago was being searched.

MAGA contributions at work..

9. Political persecution? not an actual law, mind you, but intent in a religious spin on politics

That is the most stretched concept I've ever read.

If there were no laws about classified documents he might have a point. It would all be politics. But you know, the legal code has a way of making certain actions illegal.

[Biophilic]

10. But the announcement or whatever did put him back in the news with people talking about him.

His need for attention is crazy, literally.

[livetohike]

14. This is just what I was going to post. Every time

he opens his mouth it is designed to get him in the news. No matter how outrageous his statements. He’s going to keep whining after he loses, the media will still cover him. We aren’t going to be rid of him until he dies.

[Biophilic]

19. Don't ruin my day. ☹️. We must get rid of him completely.

Then gradually shame into oblivion his henchmen. I truly believe our democracy depends on it. They are a sickness we must cure.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

12. Let's see here. The FBI had signed warrants and HE was not there at the time.

The National Archives were missing documents and HE had them. The FBI goes to Court to ask for warrants on the basis that a crime was committed, for which Orange asshole was indicted for on numerous counts.

What case does CF#45 have other than his campaign is BROKE??

CF#45 wants ATTENTION. Thinking a lawsuit against the DOJ is going to do it? More money wasted on Lawyers that will not go to down ballot candidates. SMART move, asshole!

[spanone]

13. ANYTHING to get a Headline....so effing desperate.

[Initech]

17. Court finds in favor of DOJ. Next case.

Fuck off, Donny.

[PCIntern]

20. I'm gonna sue him for $200,000,000 for ruining my last nine years...

I have as much standing as he has.

He also soiled my television circuitry, especially the amplifier. That should be worth something...

[Johonny]

21. The government should counter sue for damages

To the country from his reckless release and handling of our secrets. The damage was well over 100 million no doubt.
