Trump posts letter demanding Merrick Garland meeting over 'outrageous and unlawful' investigations

Former President Donald Trump posted to his Truth Social platform on Tuesday evening, showing a copy of a letter from his attorneys John Rowley and Jim Trusty, demanding a meeting with Attorney General Merrick Garland over the federal investigations being conducted by special counsel Jack Smith.

"We represent Donald J. Trump, the 45th President of the United States, in the investigation currently being conducted by the Special Counsel's Office," the attorneys wrote. "Unlike President Biden, his son Hunter, and the Biden family, President Trump is being treated unfairly. No President of the United States has ever, in the history of our country, been baselessly investigated in such an outrageous and unlawful fashion."

"We request a meeting at your earliest convenience to discuss the ongoing injustice that is being perpetrated by your Special Counsel and his prosecutors," they concluded.

1. He's just a citizen now, not president

[Ocelot II]

2. LOL. TFG had to have dictated that letter.

Lawyers don't write crap like that to other lawyers, especially lawyers representing a client in a criminal case writing to a prosecutor. Garland will blow them off anyhow, since the case is being handled by the Special Counsel with no involvement of the AG. That's why there is a special counsel in the first place, and Garland won't let them try to do an end run around Jack Smith - especially with that industrial-strength bullshit.

3. I think you hit the nail on the head.

[2naSalit]

14. I wonder who...

Is the unfortunate toady who got that job.

I need more popcorn and some kind of mind altering substance for this.

[Sky Jewels]

53. The dead giveaway: "No President of the United States has ever, in the history of our country..."

[Blue Owl]

56. The telltale pantload

[Sky Jewels]

62. Hah -- indeed.

Or, in Trump's case, diaper load.

[GoodRaisin]

61. Every word of it.

It reads just like one of his rants.

[Joinfortmill]

4. Oh, boy. Pass the wine.

[woodsprite]

5. Sounds like Trump wrote the letter and forged his lawyer's name. nt

[SledDriver]

30. Or dictated it

Would a real lawyer reference an uninvolved 3rd party - Biden, and his family? - in something "official" like this?

Maybe his lawyers are as inept as he is.

[edisdead]

36. Maybe?

[gratuitous]

6. He's being treated unfairly, Mr. Mouthpiece?

Could you specify the "unfair" treatment being accorded to your client, Individual-1?

[FrankBooth]

7. Some serious legal heavyweight action there

This looks like it was written by Don himself with a little help from the chatbot at Legalzoom.

[OAITW r.2.0]

8. I smell flopsweat.

Trump is in full panic mode,

[Irish_Dem]

9. I agree, I think Trump is losing it. Jean Carroll pushed him over the edge.

She must keep up the pressure on Trump, just keep pushing.

[Deuxcents]

10. "Baselessly" seriously?

His unbelievably huge ego expects a meeting with the Special Counsel and Prosecutors now. After all this time, did he think his offenses were just being ignored? He’s someone special? I think it’s finally sinking in...E Jean Carroll..twice..Georgia..NY..documents...insurrection...he’s in trouble. I’m anxiously waiting for “Breaking News”

[Skittles]

11. he's gotten his way his entire corrupt life

he just cannot handle these, er, aberrations......

[2naSalit]

15. Yeah...

And he thinks he can go and bully Garland in person! Yikes.

I'm so glad I'm way over here.

[gab13by13]

12. He is setting the stage,

to claim DOJ election interference with the leading GOP candidate for president.

He understands he is in deep shit in the stolen document prosecution so he is;

1. Getting his unwashed Magats riled up that DOJ is preventing him from becoming president.
2. Related to #1, he is going to fund raise off the indictment.
3. He is going to appeal to an institutionalist AG who has stated that he will not be partisan.
4. When Garland doesn't meet with him he will accuse him of being partisan.

[Ocelot II]

13. Lawrence O'Donnell is talking about this now on MSNBC.

He thinks it means the lawyers believe an indictment is imminent and they're begging Garland to intervene. Not gonna happen.

[BigmanPigman]

16. It is the only way I can understand what it means.

Lawrence is doing a good job explaining it.

[Cha]

17. And Ketchup Wall

[blm]

20. Heheh

[spooky3]

22. Is it too late to buy Heinz stock?

Cha!

[Cha]

24. Dunno.. bet a lot of People

are Invested in it! Especially the Wall part.

Spooky!

[Beachnutt]

18. Dear Mr Garland, please add this letter as evidence of another

obstruction of justice charge.
I am a total idiot and deserve a long prison sentence.

[dalton99a]

19. No person in the history of the universe has been treated worse or more unfairly.

It is a disgrace!

[LetMyPeopleVote]

21. Jack Smith is getting to TFG

Link to tweet

[spinbaby]

50. Is that really his lawyer's phone number?

Don’t tell me he doxed his own lawyer.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

51. I would hate to be that lawyer

[ancianita]

23. LOL Classy lawyers, all.

Garland should respond: "Talk to Special Counsel, Jack Smith. If you've already met, deal with it."

[alwaysinasnit]

26. I get the impression that the subpoena of the financials is triggering this demand to meet.

[ancianita]

29. Same. Jack Smith subpoenas ain't beanbag.

hope we're moving into the fun zone

[Traildogbob]

25. Attorney John Barron wrote it

Or AI writing as Donnie?

[Tetrachloride]

27. "7 countries ". France, Saudi Arabia .... yuck yuck

[Xipe Totec]

28. That Smell

[Mr.Bill]

31. This is positively hilarious.

Garland should not even respond.

[LudwigPastorius]

32. "...such an outrageous and unlawful fashion"

They forgot to add "egregious and preposterous".

[Drum]

38. Lololol !

[Marcus IM]

33. Any minute now. n/t

[RockRaven]

34. TFG is the old man saying "Jehovah" in Monty Python's Life of Brian, but w/o the moral high ground

of not having really broken an important law.

"Making it worse? How could it be worse? Jehovah! Jehovah! Jehovah!..."

Except instead of the crowd with stones he's facing the DOJ -- they have more patience and are less distractable by John Cleese.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

58. The difference

Is that the guy saying "Jehovah" was right. Who cares if he says that? Only stupid people would.

TFG is more like the mob wanting to murder people on the flimsiest of pretexts.

[debm55]

35. Starting--he's been shitting his pants for a long time.

[Mira]

39. True

dat

[lastlib]

37. How is this different from any other day?

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

59. If he'd said it on his stupid social media platform

Then you'd have a point. Yes, typical, and yeah, at this point, same old same old.

This time, though, the fool had it put in writing to the judicial system as an official act of jurisprudence.

That tends to make a big difference in many things, and not in his favor.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

40. Yes, I wrote: It's about the rump having a panic shit fit & saying "Send a letter! SEND a letter!"

So his attorney's draft a letter, a one page letter, about something, anything, make something up! Send the letter! Keep him happy and he might pay us!

[ecstatic]

47. lol. Maybe they drafted the letter to appease him with no intention of sending it

and then trumpy scanned it to faketwitter.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

41. Glad to be #45 rec on thread, in this hour of 45's panic. . . . nt

[sinkingfeeling]

42. "Being treated unfairly".... like a common criminal. Talk about a superiority complex!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

43. No he isnt

He has everyone right where he wants them. Got them believing everything is bullshit, made up. Every indictment is bogus.

It is an extremely scary turn of events. And obviously no one has a cure.

[Alice Kramden]

44. K&R n/t

[Hassler]

45. Who is DJ Chump's lawyer, John Barron?

[ecstatic]

46. he's so fucking insecure

There's no reason for that "45th President" bullshit to be in the letter. Uggh. I hate that he can run around calling himself that.

[EndlessWire]

48. I think they are just fishing

They're screwing with what they suspect is an impending indictment in an attempt to delay it. They just don't know when it is coming down.

What in the world could they say to Garland to dissuade him from indictment? Threaten him? Fish for info on what the prosecution's approach will be?

I hope Garland laughs it off. Garland needs to think about whether he will abide by some unwritten rule that DOJ made up, or do his duty for the country.

He shouldn't bother with a meeting, in my opinion. Everything should happen inside court. The optics of such a meeting would be very bad.

[dalton99a]

49. +1. Throw the letter in the trash

A meeting to talk about what?

[sarcasmo]

52. Jack Smith can't indict me, I was President. No trial your honor, it's Primary season.

[Grasswire2]

54. Let's hope and pray that TFG doesn't have any KOMPROMAT on MG

Because this is the moment when it will (if there is any) be whispered in MG's ear.

At which point, TFG would walk free and clear forever.

[Blue Owl]

55. They say there's a faint 'squishing' sound whenever he walks by...

Now it's a very loud squishing sound accompanied by a foul, rancid odor and a brown trail behind him....

[alwaysinasnit]

57. Then I pity the poor person(s) who have to clean up after him.

[Ilsa]

60. Trump investigations exceed those of Tricky Dick. nt
