I guess the new person in charge of the DOJ doesn’t want Trump to fire them like he fired Pam Bondi, so they’re being extra sycophantic.
Yeah, no.
I mean that was the point of the law…it was made specifically to force Nixon to turn over records so he couldn’t destroy evidence
But he has full immunity for presidential related actions now, what punishment can he recieve if he doesnt turn records over? None
Thanks again by the way Chief Justice John Roberts
The DOJ should just be renamed the “Department of Protecting Donald Trump from Consequences of Crimes”.
Trump’s own DOJ says Trump can do whatever he wants. Precedent set. Yeah, right.
All these little memos and such that the DOJ operates under will need to be burned to ash in the next administration.
The most corrupt administration in history
Laws are just vibes now
So if there’s no legal requirement to keep records, there’s no paper trail for any of the decisions being made right now…
Oh, is that how the law works now? No, but thanks to SCOTUS it doesn’t f*cking matter.
The avalanche continues
You mean the DOJ that is currently run by the presidents personal attorney tells Trumps he doesn’t have to follow the law? Who knew?
Of course not. He’s just a bull in a China shop now. He can do anything cause nobody is stopping him!! BS.
FUUUUCCCKKKK! I’m so tired of this shit.
Well the supreme court gave him a golden ticket to violate the law so there’s that.
Translation: Bonfires will burn into the night to eliminate documents that could be used to prosecute him after he’s out of office.
The opinion of the current DOJ of the lawfulness of the records act is of zero importance. Judges can weigh in on that and the DOJ can state their case.
However such a suit is unlikely to be made under the current DOJ because they will not persecute Trump and because this specific issue will arise after Trump leaves office.
If the next DOJ is serving a democratic president, they will decide whether or not to persecute Trump.
Hopefully, we get the BBO soon, and all of this will be moot.
They all need to be put in jail
And all Trump supporters agree… unless it’s a Democrat.
Someone putting their name, reputation and future on the line to protect someone who 100% gonna turn on them in the near future.
I’ll never understand
>DOJ tells Trump he doesn’t have to follow law ~~requiring him to turn over all presidential records.~~
I mean, the Supreme Court has basically ruled that Presidents are above the law. Donald Trump could rape and murder a score of babies on live television and there’s not a goddamn thing anyone could do about it. He could promise to rape and murder every infant in the country, and as long as he said that it would own the libs, the only result would be that his MAGA cult would happily offer their own babies for him to rape, mutilate and murder. Thanks to John Roberts, we created an impotent, incontinent version of Homelander who, instead of jacking off onto the city from the highest building, simply spreads his ass cheeks and rains fetid diarrhea over the whole country. And as most of us run for cover, his base eagerly rushes in to lap up as much of his rancid fecal liquid as they can muster.
Every Republican in power is committing treason
*… the Department of Justice has concluded, after finding a landmark transparency law to be unconstitutional.*
That’s not how this works. Duh. The DOJ is not the fucking arbiter of constitutionality. Fuck this administration.
This means they’re shredding documents and destroying evidence, right?
This decision will be overturned. The DOJ does not have the power to overturn a law passed by Congress.
They’re right, he doesn’t have to do anything, because congress refuses to hold him accountable. He’s broken so many other laws that I’m surprised the DOJ actually got specific about this instead of saying “Trump can do whatever he wants, MAGA!”
And the Swamp grows…. More proof that “draining the swamp” was a scam, obviously.
Nobody in DOJ is still an American. Not really, anyway.
DOJ not following the laws of the land and will only tell him what he wants to hear.
The DOJ doesn’t get to decide if laws are constitutional or not. That’s the job of the courts.
In other news Pam Bondi was really “fired” in an attempt to have her not have to testify again about all the MAGA child rape cover up nonsense. All child rapists and accessories belong in FEDERAL PRISON.
Well… that’s illegal.
“DOJ wildly misinforms Trump”
Fuck these fucking crooks. How have their phone numbers not been leaked. They all deserve a massive fucking earful of reminding them who they are supposed to be serving.
