    White House asked DOJ to intervene in Trump rape defamation suit by E. Jean Carroll, taxpayers will pay damages if agency loses, Barr says

    White House asked DOJ to intervene in Trump rape defamation suit by E. Jean Carroll, taxpayers will pay damages if agency loses, Barr says

    excerpt:

    "Despite Barr and the DOJ’s matter-of-fact portrayal of the intervention, Carroll’s legal team and lawyers not connected to the case blasted the move.

    “The DOJ was not meant to serve as the president’s personal in-house counsel, particularly on the taxpayer’s dime,” said Joseph Tacopina, a New York defense attorney who is not involved in the case.

    “Trump calling an alleged victim of rape ... a liar is not an act in his official capacity,” said Tacopina.

    “Although ad hominem attacks on members of the regular public may be a regular occurrence in the Oval Office these days, Article II of the Constitution does not include within the functions of the presidency the role of Chief Mudslinger.”

    Carroll’s lawyer, Roberta Kaplan, noted in a statement that the DOJ’s move came a month after a state court judge rejected Trump’s claim that “he is immune from a private lawsuit concerning defamatory statements he made about a sexual assault he committed in the 1990s.”

    “As a result of that decision, Trump was soon going to be required to produce documents, provide a DNA sample, and sit for a deposition,” said Kaplan. She accused Trump of then enlisting the Justice Department to file its action and claim he was acting in his official capacity when he denied the rape claim.

    “Even in today’s world, that argument is shocking,” Kaplan said."

    Trump lost his absolute presidential immunity argument for the Carroll case in NY similar to how he lost it for his tax records case in NY and the Supreme Court.

    Barr is now assisting Trump in the Carroll case.

    Trump continues to duke it out in the NY court regarding his tax records after losing in the Supreme Court which sent the case back to NY.

    In October 2019, Barr asked a judge to block a subpoena for Trump's tax records.

    In a shady manner, Barr disposed of Geoffrey Berman, U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York.

    Barr submitted a slanted opinion favorable to Trump of the findings of the Mueller investigation.

    Chief of Staff Mark Meadows: <looking at breaking news> Oh! My! God! What the fuck did you do?
    Donald Trump: I don't remember.
    Meadows: What. The. Fuck. Did. You. Say. To. Woodward?!
    Trump: OH SURE, THE ONE TIME I TOLD THE TRUTH TO A REPORTER AND NOW YOU'RE MAD?
    Meadow: Goddammit, what's the rule?!
    Trump: I, uh, well...
    Meadows: Never tell the truth!
    Trump: I got confused. It all happened so fast.
    Meadows: We're so screwed! Do you understand that? SCREWED!
    Trump:
    Meadows:
    Trump: So ... wanna go golfing?

    Maybe "John Barron" nominated Rump for the Nobel Peace Prize?? ( John Barron was one of several FAKE names Rump used in prior years to act as a spokesperson for supposedly Donald J. Trump. John Barron was in FACT - Rump himself!! ) Rump later admitted he used that name instead of his own. "John Barron" was claiming to be a spokesperson for the Trump Organization on several occasions ............. but it was Donnie-boy all along!!!

    Our tax dollars will go and be spent trying to defend the liar-in-chief. It's like the "SS" handling a court case for Hitler.

    Donald Trump nominated for 2021 Nobel Peace Prize for ‘historic peace agreement’ between Israel and UAE


    The nomination comes from Christian Tybring-Gjedde of the Norwegian Parliament

    In his nomination letter to the Nobel Committee, Tybring-Gjedde explained how the President's administration had played a key role in the establishment of relations between Israel and the UAE.

    He wrote: "As it is expected other Middle Eastern countries will follow in the footsteps of the UAE, this agreement could be a game changer that will turn the Middle East into a region of cooperation and prosperity."

    This is the second time he has been nominated for the Noble Peace Prize.

    In 2018 he was formally selected by Tybring-Gjedde for his efforts to solve the North Korean nuclear tensions.

    Good guess; but, I just saw a report which says Trump was nominated by a white supremacist in Norway's government. That's equally interesting. Trump is well liked by the white supremacist everywhere, huh?

    Christian Tybring-Gjedde
    In foreign policy he has supported Vladimir Putin and criticized the sanctions against Russia that the conservatives pushed for; he has also said the west should recognise the Russian occupation and annexation of Crimea.[5][6][7][8][9]

    In response to the conflict in Ukraine, Tybring-Gjedde has criticised Western countries for too strongly condemning Russia's actions, and has called for the use of more caution towards Russia as well as to help Vladimir Putin "to save face".[56][57][58]

    He has been described as "one of Norway's most controversial anti-immigration politicians";[19] political scientist Sindre Bangstad has described him as one of the "main traffickers in extreme right-wing rhetorical tropes about Islam and Muslims" in Norway.[1]

    I'd say that describes Tybring-Gjdde the Trump supporter. Both of them hate Muslims. I remember a couple of years ago Trump said that he wanted to increase immigration from Norway. It's starting to fit together now.

    He had as much right as anyone to be there. AR15 is a legal rifle. No reason a 17 yr old should not have it. At 17 you can serve in the military and be tried as an adult. ANY idiot that is stupid enough to chase someone that is.openly armed, deserves to be shot.

    Rump said he'd like to see more immigrants from Norway - and not "shithole countries."

    Now that's super stupid. (1) Federal Law says you have to be 18 to buy a gun. (2) Yes there are many reasons for prohibiting a 17b year old from owning a gun, Kenosha being one. (3) To serve in the military, one must pass physical and mental exams to be admitted. (4) When people chase an armed teenager to prevent him from killing others we call them heroes. Why don't you grow up?

    What are we to learn .......................... that Rump is just the greatest ............ he and THE REPUBLICAN PARTY are looking out for all Americans????? !!!!!!!!!!!!! Their actions are what I look at .................... not their lying words.

    When THE REPUBLICAN PARTY tells the American people that they want them to have retirement security ..................... and then slash Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid so those with very modest incomes all their lives have NO safety nets ...................... we're supposed to believe that REPUBLICAN SHIT??? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The REPUBLICAN PARTY has been trying to get rid of those 3 safety nets for DECADES!!! How does slashing those 3 programs help older Americans attain retirement security???

    I have a suggestion for you and others of your ilk .................... I have some grade A, runny cow manure here. It doesn't stink and it's good for your skin. Just let me rub some of this all over your face and see how wonderful it is. If you believe my "truth" - and swallow my "truth" ........................ I'll believe yours.

    Yes, yes, I noticed Trump and the Republicans don't want to give people on Social Security any COVID help, and don't want them to have a cost of living increase, and want to cut funding for Medicare. I think the 66 million on Social Security will vote for Biden, don't you?
