It is time for Hillary Clinton to sue Groper Don the Con

[malaise]

She has never been accused to lying to the FBI. For him to make up this shit as diversion and obfuscation is madness. Sue his ass.

1. I do not think that will be allowed, suing a sitting president. He needs to be impeached and

convicted out of office before that can be done.

Even then it will be difficult with public figures

[unblock]

12. a civil case against bill clinton was allowed to proceed while he was president

the supreme court has already ruled that's ok, at least when the president is a democrat.


it's still an open question as to whether a *criminal* case against a sitting president can move forward while in office, though.

2. It would seem "defamation of character" would be possible? ... but Trump is going down in history as

a damn fool and one of the greatest, let me say greatest greatest greatest, I tell you Greatest Loser in history.

3. YES

Yes - because no one else seems to be standing up for her !! And I don't see his stupid remarks (with the annoying helicopter noise behind him so it looks like he's going somewhere important while it's probably really taking him to some golf course) as "acting on the authority of the office of president"

A private citizen can sue the president for conduct carried out prior to his inauguration, or which is genuinely independent of the presidential office. A private citizen cannot validly sue the president, however, when he is acting on the authority of the office of the president. If that is the case, the president is protected by the doctrine of absolute immunity.

5. JoeScum and his crew did say that HRC had never been accused of lying

to the FBI and said it was just another one of his lies. I was surprised.

[DURHAM D]

6. The press should ask him over and over again to be specific.

iows - name one lie

But, the media has never asked any Republican to be specific when they run out a string of lies so guess it is not a concept for them (media).

[kentuck]

8. Yes.

When he defames someone like he just did, he should be asked for specifics. He cannot be allowed to continue lying his ass off.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

7. Joe certainly has come around. Don't know if it is because of the way Trump

has ridiculed him, calling him a murderer, or being around Mika

[kentuck]

4. That MoFo is spreading that bullshit all over social media..

I guarantee it will be all over Facebook before the day is over, about how Hillary lied many, many times to the FBI and they did nothing! He cannot name one time that Hillary was accused of lying to the FBI.

[malaise]

9. TIme for her to show up on Rachel and answer him

Sue his ass! I'm sick of this shit.

[CatMor]

13. I agree...

I think she should sue him. I don't know how he can get away with what he's doing president or not.

11. Comey: Clinton did not lie to the FBI

Comey: Clinton did not lie to the FBI
By NICK GASS 07/07/2016 10:47 AM EDT
Hillary Clinton did not lie to FBI investigators during their probe into her use of a private server as secretary of state, FBI Director James Comey testified Thursday.

"We have no basis to conclude she lied to the FBI," Comey told House Oversight Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) during one of the hearing's opening exchanges.

Chaffetz then asked whether Clinton lied to the public. "That's a question I'm not qualified to answer. I can speak about what she said to the FBI," Comey said.

Asked whether Clinton lied under oath, Comey remarked that she did not do so to the FBI. Asked whether he had reviewed Clinton's testimony from last October's Benghazi hearing in which the former secretary of state told Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) that "there was nothing marked classified on my emails," Comey said that he had not.

10. he's the liar-in-chief and he takes that job seriously....

this lying bastard needs to be locked up

[Lil Missy]

14. No, That would surely backfire.

[Jim Lane]

15. Did Trump's statements hurt her reputation?

Even aside from all the reasons why he wouldn't be held liable at all, there's the question of damages. A plaintiff is injured by a defamatory statement to the extent that other people believe the defendant's statement, with the result that the plaintiff's reputation is damaged.

At this point, the only people who believe Donald Trump about anything are people who also already hate Hillary Clinton. My initial approximation of the damage she's suffered would be a big fat zero.

[L. Coyote]

16. No, it is time for her to write another book and eviscerate the buffoon.

And take home millions for giving him his due.
It will make great prison reading material.

18. Curious in what way? nt

[Tommy_Carcetti]

19. Curious as in a MIRT way.

Let's give them a hand as they're seen the exit.

[fleabiscuit]

23. Kind of thought so myself. nt

21. You know who Hillary should be suing? Everyone involved in the "Pizzagate" faux scandal.

Read the article in this month's Rolling Stone. It's hard to imagine people are so bloody stupid they believe this shit, but . . . oh, read it. Alex Jones has deep pockets and the Clintons should go after him.

22. I agree. Sen Clinton should make Trump pay for his libelous lies and character assassination!

She needs to take the fight to him. He now has the most to lose!
